Since December 31, 2017, the Company has filed all reports, registrations, documents, filings, statements, schedules and submissions together with any required amendments thereto, that it was required to file with the SEC (the foregoing, collectively, the “Company Reports”) and have paid all fees and assessments due and payable in connection therewith. As of their respective filing dates, the Company Reports complied in all material respects with all statutes and applicable rules and regulations of the applicable Governmental Entities, as the case may be. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding comments from the SEC or any other Governmental Entity with respect to any Company Report. Each Company Report, including the documents incorporated therein by reference, when it was filed with or furnished to the SEC, did not, as of its date or if amended prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated within or necessary in order to make the statements made in it, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company’s financial condition is, in all material respects, as described in the Company Reports, except for changes in the ordinary course of business.
(h) Internal Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations and (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations of management.
(i) Title to Real and Personal Property. Except for any Permitted Liens, the Company and each Group Company have good title or usage rights free and clear of any Liens to all the real and personal property that are material to their respective businesses, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, which are reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the period then ended, and all real and personal property that are material to their respective businesses acquired since such date, except such real and personal property as has been disposed of in the ordinary course of business and except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Liens” means (i) Liens for taxes and other governmental charges and assessments arising in the ordinary course which are not yet due and payable, (ii) Liens of landlords and Liens of carriers, warehousemen, mechanics and materialmen and other like Liens arising in the ordinary course of business for sums not yet due and payable, (iii) any Lien that may arise by operation of law, (iv) Liens under the Company’s existing loan facilities, and (v) other Liens or imperfections on property which are not material in amount or do not materially detract from the value of or materially impair the existing use of the property affected by such Lien or imperfection and except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All leases of real property and all other leases pursuant to which the Company or such Group Company, as lessee, leases real or personal property, which are material to their respective businesses, are valid and effective in all material respects in accordance with their respective terms and there is not, under any such lease, any existing material default by the Company or such Group Company, in each case except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(j) Tax. The Company and each Group Company have timely prepared and filed all tax returns required to have been filed by the Company with the appropriate Government Entities and timely paid all taxes shown thereon or otherwise owed by it, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and each Group Company in respect of taxes for all fiscal period are adequate in all material respects, and there are no material unpaid assessments against the Company or any other Group Company. All taxes and other assessments and levies that the Company or any other Group Company is required to withhold or to collect for payment have been duly withheld and collected and paid to the proper Governmental Entity or third party when due, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no tax Liens or claims pending against the Company, any other Group Company or any of their assets or property, other than Permitted Liens. There are no tax audits or investigations pending, which if adversely determined would result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not expect to be classified as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for the current taxable year or in future taxable years. The Company is, and has been since its inception, treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(k) Absence of Certain Changes. Since September 30, 2018, the business and operations of the Company and the Group Companies have been conducted in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and there has not been any Material Adverse Effect or any change in any method of accounting or accounting policies by the Company or any of the Group Companies.
(l) Related Party Transaction. Other than as disclosed in the SEC Documents, there are no material transactions or series of related transactions, agreements, arrangements or understandings, nor are there any currently proposed material transactions, or series of related transactions between the Company or any other Group Companies, on the one hand, and the Company, any current or former director or executive officer of the Company or any other Group Companies or any person who Beneficially Owns 5% or more of the Ordinary Shares (or any of such person’s immediate family members or Affiliates) (other than Group Companies), on the other hand.
(m) Offering of Securities. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has taken any action which would subject the offering, issuance, or sale of any of the Investor Subscription Shares to be issued to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
(n) Litigation and Other Proceedings. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, claim, action, suit, arbitration, mediation, demand, hearing, investigation or proceeding against the Company or any other Group Company or any director or officer thereof (in their capacity as such) that involves a claim that is or that, individually or in the aggregate, if adversely determined, would result in a Material Adverse Effect or that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of making illegal, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or preventing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any other Group Company is subject to any material Governmental Order, nor are there any proceedings with respect to the foregoing pending, or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.
(o) Compliance with Laws and Other Matters; Permits. The Company and each Group Company have conducted their business in compliance with all applicable laws and requirements of the NASDAQ in all material respects. The Company is not in material violation of any listing requirements of the NASDAQ applicable to it and has no knowledge of any facts that would reasonably be expected to lead to delisting or suspension of its American Depository Shares from the NASDAQ in the foreseeable future. The Company and each Group Company have all material permits, licenses, authorizations, consents, orders and approvals (collectively, “Permits”), and have made all material filings, applications and registrations with, any Governmental Entity that are required in order to carry on their business as presently conducted, except where the failure to possess or make the same would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such Permits are in full force and effect in all material respects and all such filings, applications and registrations are current in all material respects.
(p) Labor. As of the date hereof, there is no material strike or material labor dispute pending between the Company or any of the Group Companies and its employees.
(q) Status of Securities. The Investor Subscription Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company. When issued and sold against receipt of the consideration therefor as provided herein, such Investor Subscription Shares will be duly and validly issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof), and shall be free and clear of Liens (other than those created by the Investor), except for restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws.

(a) The Company shall indemnify the Investor (in such capacity, the “Investor Indemnified Party”) and hold the Investor Indemnified Party harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against any actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith, and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Losses”) actually suffered, incurred or paid by the Investor Indemnified Party arising from: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in Section 2.1; or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company contained in this Agreement. Other than with respect to fraud, in no event shall the Company be liable for or have an obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Investor Indemnified Party for Losses (i) in connection with the representations and warranties in Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.1(q), and (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) in excess of the Investor Subscription Price paid to the Company by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) in connection with the representations and warranties other than the Fundamental Representations in excess of 10% of the Investor Subscription Price paid to the Company by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement, and the Company shall not be liable to the Investor Indemnified Party for any Losses unless the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Investor Indemnified Party exceeds 1% of the Investor Subscription Price paid to the Company by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement (the “Basket”), in which case the Company shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Basket. The Company shall not be liable to the Investor Indemnified Party for any Losses arising under this Section 4.3 relating to an individual claim resulting in Losses in the amount of US$100,000 or less (a “De Minimis Claim”), regardless of whether or not aggregate Losses have exceeded the Basket; nor shall the amount of any such De Minimis Claims be taken into account in determining whether the Basket has been reached. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Company to the Investor Indemnified Party for any Losses in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby exceed the Investor Subscription Price paid to the Company by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) The Investor shall indemnify each of the Company and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and shareholders, owners (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) and hold each of Company Indemnified Parties harmless against any and all Losses suffered, incurred or paid by the Company Indemnified Parties, arising from, as a result of or in connection with: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Investor in Section 2.2 or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Investor contained in this Agreement. Other than with respect to fraud, in no event shall the Investor be liable for or have an obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Company Indemnified Party for Losses in excess of the Investor Subscription Price paid to the Company by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise
to a claim for indemnification; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 4.3 unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify such party. No claim for indemnification may be asserted against any Indemnifying Party for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein unless written notice of such claim is received by such Indemnifying Party on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim or proceeding is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 6.1. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such claim. In case any such action, suit, claim or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to hire, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, counsel and conduct the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal fees and expenses of one law firm for the Indemnified Parties, taken together with regard to any single action or group of related actions, upon agreement by the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, the Indemnified Parties shall thereafter deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Parties relating to the claim, and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Indemnifying Party further agrees that it will not, without any Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding.
(d) In calculating the amount of any Losses hereunder, there shall be subtracted the amount of any insurance proceeds and third-party payments received by the Indemnified Parties with respect to such Losses, if any, net of any actual costs or expenses incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds or payments. In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of, and in no event shall “Losses” be deemed to include, consequential or indirect damages, lost profits or punitive damages and, in particular, no “diminution of value”, “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or similar valuation methodology shall be used in calculating the amount of any Losses.
(e) Except in the case of fraud, the indemnification obligations of the parties hereto provided in this Section 4.2 shall be the sole and exclusive post-Closing remedy available for any Losses under this Agreement, provided that the foregoing shall not (i) affect the right of any party hereto to seek specific performance in accordance with Section 6.14 or (ii) limit or restrict any person who is a party to any Transaction Document (other than this Agreement) from obtaining damages or other legal or equitable relief from any other person who is a party thereto in connection with the breach of such agreement pursuant to the terms thereof.
(f) Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the investment amount for the Investor Subscription Shares for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local tax purposes, unless a different treatment is required by applicable law.
Section 4.4 Investor Rights. At the Closing, the Company and the Investor will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.
