The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer.
(ii) Option of Investors.
(a) Each Investor shall have an option for a period of ten (10) days following receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “Option Period”) to elect to purchase all or any portion of its respective Pro Rata Share of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice, by notifying the Transferor and the Company in writing before expiration of the Option Period as to the number of such Offered Shares that it wishes to purchase.
(b) For the purposes of this Section 2.2(ii), an Investor’s “Pro Rata Share” of the Offered Shares shall be equal to (i) the total number of the Offered Shares, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the aggregate number of Class B Ordinary Shares held by such Investor on the date of the Transfer Notice (including all Preferred Shares held by such Investor on an As-Converted Basis) and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class B Ordinary Shares held by all Investors on such date (including all Preferred Shares held by such Investors on an As-Converted Basis).

The Exercising Shareholders shall have a right of re-allotment, and may exercise an additional right to purchase such unpurchased Offered Shares by notifying the Transferor and the Company in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of the Second Notice (the “Re-allotment Period”); provided, however, that if the Exercising Shareholders desire to purchase in aggregate more than the number of such unpurchased Offered Shares, then such unpurchased Offered Shares will be allocated to the extent necessary among the Exercising Shareholders in accordance with their relative Pro Rata Shares.
(d) Subject to applicable securities Laws, each Investor shall be entitled to apportion Offered Shares to be purchased among its Affiliates, provided that such Investor notifies the Company and the Transferor in writing.
(iii) Procedure.

The Company will update its register of members upon the consummation of any such Transfer.
(iv) Valuation of Property.
(a) Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Investors shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the fair market value of such property.
(b) If the Transferor and the Exercising Shareholders holding a majority of the Offered Shares elected to be purchased by all Exercising Shareholders cannot agree on such cash value within the Option Period, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of internationally recognized standing jointly selected by agreement of such parties or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within the Option Period, the Transferor, on the one hand, and the Exercising Shareholders, on the other hand shall designate another appraiser of internationally recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value.
(c) The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by the Transferor, on the one hand, and the Exercising Shareholders pro rata based on the number of Offered Shares such Exercising Shareholder is purchasing, on the other hand.
(d) If the value of the purchase price offered by the prospective transferee is not determined within thirty (30) days following the Company’s receipt of the Transfer Notice from the Transferor, the closing of the purchase of Offered Shares by the Exercising Shareholders shall be held on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to this Section 2.2(iv).
2.3 Right of Co-Sale.
(i) To the extent the Investors do not exercise their respective rights of first refusal as to all of the Offered Shares proposed to be sold by the Transferor to the third party transferee identified in the Transfer Notice, each such Investor shall have the right to participate in such sale of Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice by notifying the Transferor in writing within ten (10) days following the expiration of Option Period (or if there is a re-allotment in accordance with Section 2.2(ii)(c), the expiration of the Re-allotment Period) (such Investor, a “Selling Shareholder”). Such Selling Shareholder’s notice to the Transferor shall indicate the number of Equity Securities the Selling Shareholder wishes to sell under its right to participate. To the extent one or more Investors exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Equity Securities that the Transferor may sell in the Transfer to the third party transferee identified in the Transfer Notice shall be correspondingly reduced.
(ii) The maximum number of Equity Securities that each Selling Shareholder may elect to sell shall be equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of the remaining Offered Shares being transferred to the third party transferee identified in the Transfer Notice after giving effect to the exercise of all rights of first refusal pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class B Ordinary Shares (including Preferred Shares and Class A Ordinary Shares on an as-converted to Class B Ordinary Share basis) owned by such Selling Shareholder on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of Class B Ordinary Shares (including Preferred Shares and Class A Ordinary Shares on an as-converted to Class B Ordinary Share basis) owned by the Transferor and all Investors entitled to exercise their co-sale right hereunder.
(iii) Each Selling Shareholder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Transferor for transfer to the prospective purchaser, before the applicable closing, one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent the type and number of Equity Securities which such Selling Shareholder elects to sell; provided, however that if the prospective third party purchaser objects to the delivery of Ordinary Share Equivalents in lieu of Class B Ordinary Shares, such Selling Shareholder shall only deliver Class B Ordinary Shares (and therefore shall convert any such Ordinary Share Equivalents into Class B Ordinary Shares) and certificates corresponding to such Class B Ordinary Shares, and the Company shall effect any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser and contingent on such transfer.
(iv) The share certificate or certificates that a Selling Shareholder delivers to the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Equity Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Transferor shall concurrently therewith remit to such Selling Shareholder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Selling Shareholder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. The Company will update its register of members upon the consummation of any such Transfer.
(v) To the extent that any prospective purchaser prohibits the participation by a Selling Shareholder exercising its co-sale rights hereunder in a proposed Transfer or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a Selling Shareholder exercising its co-sale rights hereunder, the Transferor shall not sell to such prospective purchaser any Equity Securities unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Transferor shall purchase from such Selling Shareholder such shares or other securities that such Selling Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to sell to the prospective purchaser pursuant to its co-sale rights for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Transfer Notice.
2.4 Non-Exercise of Rights.
(i) If the Company and the Investors do not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares in accordance with Section 2.2, then, subject to the right of the Investors to exercise their rights to participate in the sale of Offered Shares within the time periods specified in Section 2.3, the Transferor shall have a period of ninety (90) days from the expiration of such rights specified in Section 2.2 to sell the remaining Offered Shares to the third party transferee identified in the Transfer Notice upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable to the purchaser than those specified in the Transfer Notice, so long as any such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable Laws. The Parties agree that each such transferee, prior to and as a condition to the consummation of any sale, shall execute and deliver to the Parties documents and other instruments assuming the obligations of such Transferor under this Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement with respect to the Offered Shares, and the Transfer shall not be effective and shall not be recognized by any Party until such documents and instruments are so executed and delivered.
(ii) In the event the Transferor does not consummate the sale of such Offered Shares to the third party transferee identified in the Transfer Notice within ninety (90) day period from the expiration of such rights, the rights of the Investors under Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 shall be re-invoked and shall be applicable to each subsequent disposition of such Offered Shares by the Transferor until such rights lapse in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(iii) The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Investors under this Section 2 to purchase Equity Securities from a Transferor or participate in the sale of Equity Securities by a Transferor shall not adversely affect their rights to make subsequent purchases from the Transferor of Equity Securities or subsequently participate in sales of Equity Securities by the Transferor hereunder.
2.5 Limitations to Rights of First Refusal and Co-Sale and Transfer Restriction. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the right of first refusal and right of co-sale of the Investors under Sections 2.2 and 2.3 and the transfer restriction under Section 2.1(i) and Section 2.1(iv) shall not apply to (a) the Transfer of any Equity Securities of the Company now or hereafter held by each of the Principals and the Principal Holding Companies to an entity one hundred percent (100%) owned by such Principal or Principal Holding Company, or (b) Transfers of no more than ten percent (10%) of the Equity Securities of the Company in the aggregate now or hereafter held by a Principal or Principal Holding Company to such Principal’s parents, children, spouse, or to a trustee, executor, or other fiduciary for the benefit of such Principal or such Principal’s parents, children, spouse for bona fide estate planning purposes and/or the wholly-owned affiliates of a Principal or Principal Holding Company (each such transferee pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, a “Permitted Transferee”, and collectively, the “Permitted Transferees”); (c) Transfers by the Principals, Xxxx Xxx (王珺), Xxx Xxxx (孙原) Xx Xxxx (李漾) (collectively, the “Management Shareholders”) and other employees, directors, officers or consultants (collectively with the Management Shareholders, the “Ordinary Shareholders”) who have been granted or issued shares, options or other securities or awards in accordance with the ESOP (as defined under the Purchase Agreement) of the Company, directly and indirectly, in the aggregate (including all such Transfer by all such individuals) of no more than the Applicable Liquidity Cap (as defined below), provided that such Transfer shall not result in the change of Control of the Company; and (d) Transfer of any Equity Securities of the Company now or hereafter held by a Principal or Principal Holding Company to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement; provided, that in each case, (i) such Transfer is effected in compliance with all applicable Laws, (ii) respecting any transfer pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, the Principal has provided the Majority Preferred Holders reasonable evidence of the bona fide estate planning purposes for such transfer and reasonable evidence of the satisfaction of all applicable filings or registrations required by SAFE under the SAFE Rules and Regulations, and (iii) each such Permitted Transferee, prior to the completion of the Transfer, shall have executed a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Preferred Holders assuming the obligations of such Principal or Principal Holding Company under this Agreement and the applicable Other Restriction Agreements as a Principal or Principal Holding Company, with respect to the transferred Equity Securities; provided further, that the Transferor shall remain liable for any breach by such Permitted Transferee of any provision under this Agreement and the applicable Other Restriction Agreements. For purposes of this Section 2.5, the “Applicable Liquidity Cap” means the applicable percentage of the total Equity Securities (on a fully-diluted and As-Converted Basis) of the Company as of the date of Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the following schedule: (i) from and following August 29, 2018, up to one percent (1%) in the aggregate, (ii) from and following the date that is the later of (x) March 1, 2019 and (y) the date on which the Tax Compliance Condition is fulfilled, up to one point five percent (1.5%) in the aggregate, and (iii) from and following the date that is the later of (x) March 1, 2020 and (y) the date on which the Tax Compliance Condition is fulfilled, up to two percent (2%) in the aggregate. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, any Transfer of Equity Securities by any Ordinary Shareholder, directly or indirectly, pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall only be permitted if:
(i) the proposed transferee enters into a deed of adherence to this Agreement in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Board (including the Requisite Preferred Directors);
(ii) such Transfer is made in accordance with applicable securities Laws, including satisfying either Regulation S or another exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”);
(iii) no Person, directly or indirectly, including through any broker, finder or other agent, engages in any general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) in connection with any offer or sale of the Equity Securities that are the subject of such Transfer;
(iv) the proposed transferee of such Equity Securities is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under Regulation D of the Securities Act; and
(v) such Transfer would not subject the Company to any registration or reporting requirements with applicable securities regulators, including under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
2.6 Prohibited Transfers. Subject to Section 2.1(vii) and Section 2.5, in the event the Transferor should sell any Equity Securities in contravention of the co-sale rights of the Investors under Section 2.3 (a “Prohibited Transfer”), the Investors, in addition to such other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, shall have the put option provided below, and such Transferor shall be bound by the applicable provisions of such option.
(i) Put Option. In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, each Investor shall have the right to sell to the Transferor the type and number of Equity Securities equal to the number of Equity Securities such Investor would have been entitled to transfer to the third-party transferee under Section 2.3 hereof had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms hereof. Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions.
(a) The price per share at which the shares are to be sold to the Transferor shall be equal to the price per share paid by the third-party transferee to the Transferor in the Prohibited Transfer. The Transferor shall also reimburse each Investor for any and all reasonable fees and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of such Investor’s rights under Section 2.
(b) Within ninety (90) days after the later of the dates on which an Investor (x) received notice of the Prohibited Transfer or (y) otherwise becomes aware of the Prohibited Transfer, such Investor shall, if exercising the option created hereby, deliver to the Transferor an instrument of transfer and either the certificate or certificates representing shares to be sold under this Section 2.6 by such Investor, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer, or an affidavit of lost certificate. The Transferor shall, upon receipt of the foregoing, pay the aggregate purchase price therefor and the amount of reimbursable fees and expenses, in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by other means acceptable to such Investor. The Company will concurrently therewith record such transfer on its books and update its register of members and will promptly thereafter and in any event within five (5) days reissue certificates, as applicable, to the Transferor and the Investor reflecting the new securities held by them giving effect to such transfer.
(ii) Voidability of Prohibited Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and the rights afforded to the Investor in this Section 2.6, any attempt by a Transferor to transfer Equity Securities in violation of Section 2 shall be void, and the Company agrees it will not effect such a transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such shares without the written consent of the Majority Preferred Holders.
3. Lock-Up. In addition to but not in lieu of any other transfer restriction contained herein, each Principal and Principal Holding Company agrees that such Person shall be subject to any customary lock-up period to the extent requested by the lead underwriter of securities of the Company in connection with the registration relating to an initial public offering of the Class B Ordinary Shares.
4. Drag-Along Rights.
4.1 Drag-Along Obligations. At any time after the date hereof, if (i) the (x) Requisite Preferred Directors, (y) the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Preferred Shares (as an As-Converted Basis), and (z) the Principals (the aforesaid (x), (y) and (z) are collectively, referred to the “Drag Holders” hereinafter) approve a Deemed Liquidation Event, Share Sale or other sale of all or substantially all of the Company, whether structured as a merger, reorganization, asset sale, share sale, sale of control of the Company, or otherwise (the “Approved Sale”), to any Person (the “Offeror”), and (ii) the Per Share Price of the Company (as defined below) in the Approved Sale is no less than one point three (1.3) times the Series F Issue Price (as defined in the Memorandum and Articles) (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and any other similar events), then at the request of the Drag Holders, the Company shall promptly notify in writing each other holder of Equity Securities of the Company that is a Party of such approval and the material terms and conditions of such proposed Approved Sale, whereupon each such holder shall, in accordance with instructions received from the Company at the direction of the Drag Holders:
(i) Sell, at the same time as the Drag Holders sell to the Offeror, in the Approved Sale, all of its Equity Securities of the Company or the same percentage of its Equity Securities of the Company as the Drag Holders sell, on the same terms and conditions as were agreed to by the Drag Holders; provided, however, that such terms and conditions, including with respect to price paid or received per Equity Security of the Company, may differ as between different classes of Equity Securities of the Company in accordance with their relative liquidation preferences as set forth in Article 8.2 of the Memorandum and Articles and provided further that some holders may be given the right or opportunity to exchange or roll a portion of their Equity Securities of the Company for Equity Securities of the acquirer or an Affiliate thereof in the Approved Sale but in such event there shall be no obligation to afford such right or opportunity to all of such holders.
(ii) Vote all of its Equity Securities of the Company (a) in favor of such Approved Sale, (b) against any other consolidation, recapitalization, amalgamation, merger, sale of securities, sale of assets, business combination, or transaction that would interfere with, delay, restrict, or otherwise adversely affect such Approved Sale, and (c) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the definitive agreement(s) related to such Approved Sale or that could result in any of the conditions to the closing obligations under such agreement(s) not being fulfilled, and, in connection therewith, to be present (in person or by proxy) at all relevant meetings of the shareholders of the Company (or adjournments thereof) or to approve and execute all relevant written consents in lieu of a meeting.
(iii) Not exercise any dissenters’ or appraisal rights under applicable Laws with respect to such Approved Sale.
(iv) Take all necessary actions in connection with the consummation of such Approved Sale as reasonably requested by the Drag Holders, including but not limited to the execution and delivery of any share transfer or other agreements prepared in connection with such Approved Sale, and the delivery, at the closing of such Approved Sale involving a sale of stock, of all certificates representing stock held or controlled by such holder, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by a duly executed share transfer form, or affidavits and indemnity undertakings with respect to lost certificates.
(v) Restructure such Approved Sale, as and if reasonably requested by the Drag Holders, as a merger, consolidation, restructuring or similar transaction, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or otherwise.
In any such Approved Sale, (i) each such holder shall bear a proportionate share (based upon the relative proceeds received in such transaction) of the Drag Holders’ expenses incurred in the transaction, including, without limitation, legal, accounting and investment banking fees and expenses (to the extent incurred for the benefit of the Company or all shareholders of the Company), (ii) the consideration received pursuant to such Approved Sale shall be distributed among the parties thereto in accordance with Article 8.2(A) (Liquidation Preference) of the Company’s Memorandum and Articles in effect immediately prior to the Approved Sale (as if such Approved Sale were a Deemed Liquidation Event, regardless of whether it is a Deemed Liquidation Event), and (iii) each such holder shall severally, not jointly, join on a pro rata basis (based upon the relative proceeds received in such transaction) in any indemnification or other obligations that are part of the terms and conditions of such Approved Sale (other than those that relate specifically to a particular holder, such as indemnification with respect to representations and warranties given by such holder regarding such holder’s title to and ownership of shares, due authorization, enforceability, and no conflicts, which shall instead be given solely by such holder) but only up to the net proceeds paid to such holder in connection with such Approved Sale. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, no such holder who is not an employee or officer or Controlling shareholder of a Group Company shall be required to make any representations or warranties other than with respect to itself (including due authorization, title to shares and enforceability of applicable agreements). For purpose of this Section 4.1, “Per Share Price of the Company” shall mean the quotient of the equity valuation of the Company under such transaction divided by the total number of Shares on a fully-diluted and As-Converted Basis, including all then issued and outstanding Shares as well as any outstanding options, warrants or other convertible securities of the Company.
4.2 Other Provisions. In the event that any such holder fails for any reason to take any of the foregoing actions after reasonable notice thereof, such holder hereby grants an irrevocable power of attorney and proxy to any Director approving the Approved Sale to take all necessary actions and execute and deliver all documents deemed by such Director to be reasonably necessary to effectuate the terms hereof. None of the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 2 or 3 of this Agreement or in the Other Restriction Agreements shall apply in connection with an Approved Sale, notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein and therein.
5. Legend. Each existing or replacement certificate for Equity Securities of the Company now owned or hereafter acquired by Principals and their permitted transferees shall bear the following legend
“THE SALE, PLEDGE, CHARGE, HYPOTHECATION, ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME) BY AND BETWEEN THE SHAREHOLDER, THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES THERETO. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE COMPANY.”
The Company may annotate its register of members with an appropriate, corresponding legend. At such time as Equity Securities are no longer subject to this Agreement, the Company shall, at the request of the holder of such Equity Securities, issue replacement certificates for such Equity Securities without such legend.
In order to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and, if the Company acts as transfer agent for its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.
6. Miscellaneous.
6.1 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon either (a) mutual written consent of all Parties hereto, or (b) the closing of a Qualified IPO or a liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Company, except for Section 3 which shall survive the Qualified IPO in accordance with its terms.

6.3 Assignments and Transfers; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives, but shall not otherwise be for the benefit of any third party. The rights of any Investor hereunder are assignable (together with the related obligations) in connection with the transfer of Equity Securities of the Company held by such Investor in accordance with this Agreement and other Transaction Documents but only to the extent of such transfer, provided that, as a condition of such assignment, each successor or assignee shall agree in writing to be subject to each of the terms of this Agreement by execution of a deed of adherence in the form attached hereto as Schedule C and shall be deemed to be a party hereto as if the signature of such successor or assignee appeared on the signature pages of this Agreement. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of each other Party hereunder shall not otherwise be assigned without the mutual written consent of the other Parties except as expressly provided herein.

Any notice required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be given either personally or by sending it by next-day or second-day courier service, fax, electronic mail or similar means to the address of the relevant Party as shown on Schedule C attached to the Shareholders Agreement (or at such other address as such Party may designate by fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice to the other Parties to this Agreement given in accordance with this Section). Where a notice is sent by next-day or second-day courier service, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and sending by next-day or second-day service through an internationally-recognized courier a letter containing the notice, with a written confirmation of delivery, and to have been effected at the earlier of (i) delivery (or when delivery is refused) and (ii) expiration of two (2) Business Days after the letter containing the same is sent as aforesaid.

6.8 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.
6.9 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Party may waive the observance as to such Party of any provision of this Agreement (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by an instrument in writing signed by such Party without obtaining the consent of any other Party. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon all the Parties hereto.
6.11 No Waiver. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof will not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor will any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right, power or remedy hereunder at any one time or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right, power or remedy at any other time or times.
6.12 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.
6.13 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.
