PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
|
The Purchaser makes the following representations and warranties to the Seller as of the date hereof and the Closing Date:
2.1 Authority; Binding Effect. The Purchaser has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder. All corporate action on the part of the Purchaser and its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by the Purchaser of all of its
obligations hereunder, including the purchase of the Sale Shares pursuant to this Agreement, have been taken prior to the Closing. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and (assuming the due execution and
delivery thereof by the Seller) constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms.
2
2.2 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and compliance by the Purchaser
with its obligations hereunder do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, (i) conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, require any consent or other action by any person under, give
rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation of any person or to a loss of any benefit to which the Purchaser is entitled, or result in the creation or imposition of any tax, mortgage, lien, pledge,
charge, security interest or other encumbrance (collectively, “Liens”), limitation or restriction upon any property or assets of the Purchaser pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note,
license, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Purchaser is subject, or (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of
Organizational Documents of the Purchaser or any applicable treaty, law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or
any of its properties.

governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign, in each case, other than any filings that may be required pursuant to applicable securities law, is necessary or required for the entry into of this Agreement by the Purchaser or the performance
by the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder or the purchase of the Sale Shares and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.
2.4 Purchaser Status. The Purchaser either (i) is an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act) or (ii) is not a U.S. Person and is located outside of the United States, as such terms are defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act.

respective principals, shareholders members, partners, employees, agents and representatives (such released persons and entities, collectively, the “Seller Related Parties”) from any and all claims and liabilities arising from the Seller’s
failure to disclose, or the Purchaser’s failure to obtain and review, Purchaser Excluded Information, and the Purchaser agrees to make no claim against any Seller Related Party in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby relating to the

hereunder, including the sale of the Sale Shares, have been taken prior to the Closing. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Seller and (assuming the due execution and delivery thereof by the Purchaser) constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms.

other action by any person under, give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation of any person or to a loss of any benefit to which the Seller is entitled, or result in the creation or imposition of any
tax, Lien, limitation or restriction upon the Sale Shares or any property or assets of the Seller, pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, license, lease or other agreement or instrument to which

governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign, in each case, other than any filings that may be required pursuant to applicable securities law, is necessary or required for the entry into of this Agreement by the Seller or the performance by
the Seller of its obligations hereunder or the sale and delivery of any Sale Shares to the Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.
3.5 Purchaser Information. The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser, and its Affiliates may receive or may have received, may have access to, and may be in possession of, material
non-public, confidential information about the Sale Shares, the Issuer, and the Issuer’s and/or its Affiliates’ financial condition, results of operations, businesses, properties, active or pending litigation, assets, liabilities, management,
projections, appraisals, plans and prospects of which the Seller is not aware (“Seller Excluded Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller has deemed it appropriate to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby, and the Seller acknowledges that Seller Excluded Information may be indicative of value of the Sale Shares that is substantially different from the Purchase Price to be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller under this Agreement.

The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate

tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two (2) Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third (3rd) Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the 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.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in Section 6.12(a), any Party may, to the extent
permitted under the rules and procedures of the HKIAC, seek an interim injunction or other form of relief from the HKIAC as provided for in its Rules. Such application shall also be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State
of New York.
(c) The Parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character and irreparable damage would occur if any of the
provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party to this Agreement (a) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other
equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the forum described in this Section 6.12, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in
addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and (b) hereby waives any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each Party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction,
specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
6.13 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, by
international courier or by electronic mail to the Parties at the following addresses (or to such other address as a Party may have specified by notice given to the other Party pursuant to this provision):
