Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
1. GUARANTEE.
(a) To induce the Guaranteed Party to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among XXXXXX Holding Limited (“Parent”), XXXXXX Mergersub Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Guaranteed Party, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Guaranteed Party (the “Merger”) with the Guaranteed Party continuing as the surviving company in the Merger and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, the Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Guaranteed Party, the due and punctual payment, observance, performance and discharge as and when due of 23.4987% (the “Guaranteed Percentage”) of the payment obligations of Parent with respect to (i) the payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.2(c) of the Merger Agreement (subject to the terms and limitations of Section 9.2(d) of the Merger Agreement) and (ii) the reimbursement obligations of Parent pursuant to Section 9.2(f) of the Merger Agreement (the aggregate obligations of Parent in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, without regard to the Guaranteed Percentage thereof, the “Obligations”); provided that, in no event shall the Guarantor’s aggregate liability under clause (i) of this Section 1(a) exceed 23.4987% of the Obligations (the “Cap”). This Limited Guarantee may be enforced for the payment of money damages only. The Guaranteed Party, by execution of this Limited Guarantee, agrees that the Guarantor shall not have any obligation or liability to the Guaranteed Party relating to, arising out of or in connection with, this Limited Guarantee, the Subscription Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than as expressly set forth herein or in the Subscription Agreement. The Guaranteed Party, by execution of this Limited Guarantee, further acknowledges that, in the event that Parent has any unsatisfied payment obligations, payment of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Guarantee by the Guarantor (or by any other person, including Parent or Merger Sub on behalf of the Guarantor) shall constitute satisfaction in full of the Guarantor’s obligations with respect thereto. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.
(b) All payments made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Limited Guarantee shall be free and clear of any deduction, offset, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind. If Parent fails to pay or cause to be paid any or all of the Obligations as and when due pursuant to Section 9.2(c) of the Merger Agreement and subject to the other relevant terms and limitations of the Merger Agreement, then the Guarantor’s liabilities to the Guaranteed Party hereunder in respect of such Obligations shall, at the Guaranteed Party’s option, become immediately due and payable and the Guaranteed Party may, at any time and from time to time, at the Guaranteed Party’s option, and so long as Parent remains in breach of such Obligation, take any and all actions available hereunder or under applicable Law to collect the Obligations from the Guarantor, subject to limitations described herein.
(c) Concurrently with the delivery of this Limited Guarantee, the parties set forth on Schedule A hereto (each, an “Other Guarantor”) are also entering into limited guarantees substantially identical to this Limited Guarantee (each, an “Other Guarantee”) with the Guaranteed Party. This Limited Guarantee shall become effective upon the substantially simultaneous signing of this Limited Guarantee and the Other Guarantees.
(d) The Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fee and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Guaranteed Party in connection with the enforcement of its rights thereunder, including without limitation in the event (i) the Guarantor asserts in any Action that this Limited Guarantee is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms and the Guaranteed Party prevails in such Action, or (ii) the Guarantor fails or refuses to make any payments to the Guaranteed Party hereunder when due and payable and it is determined judicially or by arbitration that the Guarantor is required to make such payment hereunder, which amounts will be in addition to the Obligations.
2. CHANGES IN OBLIGATION, CERTAIN WAIVERS.
(a) The Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Party may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, extend the time of payment of the Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Parent, Merger Sub, or any Other Guarantor or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement among the Guaranteed Party and Parent, Merger Sub or such other Person without in any way impairing or affecting the Guarantor’s obligations under this Limited Guarantee or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Limited Guarantee. The Guaranteed Party shall not release any of Other Guarantors from, or extend the time of payment of, any obligations under such Other Guarantees or amend or waive any provision of such Other Guarantees except to the extent the Guarantor under this Limited Guarantee is released, the payment obligation under this Limited Guarantee is extended or the provisions of the Limited Guarantee are amended or waived, in each case, on terms and conditions no less favorable than those applicable to the Other Guarantees. The Guarantor agrees that, except as set forth in clause (i) in the last sentence of Section 2(c) and except for termination in accordance with Section 7 of this Limited Guarantee, the obligation of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure or delay on the part of the Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Parent, Merger Sub, or any Other Guarantor or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Merger Agreement made in accordance with its terms or any agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any portion of the Obligations, in each case, to the extent any of the foregoing does not have the effect of increasing the Cap; (iii) the addition, substitution, legal or equitable discharge or release (in the case of a discharge or release, other than a discharge or release of the Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations as a result of payment in full of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with their terms, a full discharge or release of Parent with respect to the Obligations under the Merger Agreement, or as a result of valid defenses to the payment of the Obligations that would be available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement) of any Person now or thereafter liable with respect to any portion of the Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (v) any Enforceability Exceptions of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or any of their respective assets or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to any portion of the Obligations; (vi) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Guarantor may have at any time against Parent, Merger Sub or the Guaranteed Party or any of their respective Affiliates, whether in connection with the Obligations or otherwise (other than defenses to the payment of the Obligations that are available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement); (vii) any other act or omission that may in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of or to the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge or release of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than as a result of payment of the applicable Obligations in accordance with its terms); (viii) the adequacy of any other means the Guaranteed Party may have of obtaining repayment related to the Obligations; or (ix) the value, validity, legality or enforceability of the Merger Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any applicable Law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Guaranteed Party. The Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Limited Guarantee and of the Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of the occurrence of any Obligations and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Law or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Parent or Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and all suretyship defenses generally (other than valid defenses to the payment of the Obligations that are available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement). The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Limited Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(b) The Guaranteed Party hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and shall cause its Controlled Affiliates not to institute, directly or indirectly, in the name of or on behalf of the Guaranteed Party or any other Person, any Action arising under, or in connection with, this Limited Guarantee, the Other Guarantees, the Merger Agreement and the Subscription Agreement (this Limited Guarantee, the Other Guarantees, Rollover Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”) or any other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to such Transaction Agreements, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, against the Guarantor or any of the former, current and future equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees of the Guarantor, Other Guarantors, Parent or Merger Sub or any former, current or future shareholder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, Affiliate, agent or assignee of any of the foregoing (but not including the Guarantor, Other Guarantors, Parent or Merger Sub or their respective successors and assigns under the Transaction Agreements, each of these persons, a “Non-Recourse Party” and collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”), except for claims against (i) the Guarantor (but not any Non-Recourse Party) under (and to the extent permitted by) this Limited Guarantee by the Guaranteed Party (subject to the limitations described herein), (ii) each Other Guarantor under (and to the extent permitted by) its Other Guarantee (subject to the limitations described therein); (iii) the Guarantor, Other Guarantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns under the Subscription Agreement, (iv) Parent and Merger Sub and their respective successors and assigns under the Merger Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, and (v) against Parent, Merger Sub and the Rollover Shareholders under the Rollover Agreement (the claims under clauses (i) through (v), whether or not against the Guarantor, Other Guarantors, Parent, Merger Sub, Rollover Shareholders and/or their respective successors and assigns, collectively, the “Retained Claims”).

(c) Except as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against Parent or Merger Sub that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Obligations under or in respect of this Limited Guarantee or any other agreement in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Guaranteed Party against Parent, Merger Sub or any Other Guarantor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, but not limited to, the right to take or receive from Parent, Merger Sub or any Other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations shall have been paid in full in immediately available funds by the Guarantor (or by any other person, including Parent or Merger Sub, on behalf of the Guarantor). If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full in immediately available funds of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations by the Guarantor (or by any other Person, including Parent or Merger Sub, on behalf of the Guarantor), such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Party, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Guaranteed Party in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and this Limited Guarantee, whether matured or unmatured, or to be held as collateral for such Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Limited Guarantee, the Guaranteed Party hereby agrees (i) to the extent the Obligations are not payable pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Merger Agreement, the Guarantor shall be similarly relieved of its obligations to make payments under this Limited Guarantee for the same obligation for which Parent and Merger Sub were relieved under the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the Guarantor shall have all defenses to the payment of its obligations under this Limited Guarantee (which in any event shall be subject to the limitations described herein) that would be available to Parent and/or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement with respect to the Obligations, other than defenses arising from the Enforceability Exceptions of Parent or Merger Sub and other defenses expressly waived herein.

No failure on the part of the Guaranteed Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Guaranteed Party of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Guaranteed Party or allowed it by Law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Guaranteed Party at any time or from time to time.

Unless terminated pursuant to this Section 7, this Limited Guarantee may not be revoked or terminated and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on the Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns until all of the Guaranteed Percentage of the Obligations (subject to the limitations described herein) has been satisfied in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Limited Guarantee shall terminate and the Guarantor shall have no further obligation under this Limited Guarantee as of the earliest of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (other than a termination of the Merger Agreement for which the Obligation is, in accordance with Sections 9.2(c) and (f) of the Merger Agreement, due and owing by Parent or where there is otherwise any outstanding Obligation at the time of such termination (such termination, a “Qualifying Termination”)); (c) the payment in full of the Obligations, and (d) the 120th day after a Qualifying Termination unless prior to the 120th day after such Qualifying Termination, the Guaranteed Party shall have commenced a legal proceeding against Parent or Merger Sub alleging any Obligation is due and owing or against the Guarantor alleging amounts payable by the Guarantor to the Guaranteed Party under this Limited Guarantee, in which case this Limited Guarantee shall terminate upon either (i) a final, non-appealable resolution of such claim and payment of the Obligations, if applicable or (ii) a written agreement signed by each of the parties hereto terminating this Limited Guarantee.

In the event that the Guaranteed Party or any of its controlled Affiliates institutes any suit, action or proceeding or makes any claim (A) asserting that any of the provisions of this Limited Guarantee limiting the Guarantor’s liability under clause (i) of this Section 1(a) to the Cap are illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part or that the Guarantor is liable in excess of or to a greater extent than the Cap with respect to the Guarantor’s liability under clause (i) of this Section 1(a), or (B) asserts any theory of liability against Non-Recourse Party other than the Retained Claims, then (1) the Obligation of the Guarantor under this Limited Guarantee shall terminate ab initio and be null and void, (2) if the Guarantor has previously made any payments under this Limited Guarantee, it shall be entitled to recover such payments from the Guaranteed Party, and (3) neither the Guarantor, Parent, Merger Sub nor any Non-Recourse Party shall have any liability to the Guaranteed Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or otherwise.
8. NO RECOURSE. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Limited Guarantee or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith, and notwithstanding the fact that the Guarantor may be a partnership or limited liability company, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Limited Guarantee, the Guaranteed Party acknowledges and agrees that no Person other than the Guarantor (and its successors and permitted assigns) has any obligation hereunder and that no recourse shall be had hereunder, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligation or their creation, against, and no personal liability shall attach to, any Non-Recourse Party, through Parent, Merger Sub or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the Guaranteed Party against any Non-Recourse Party (including any claim to enforce the Subscription Agreement), by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Law, or otherwise, except for any Retained Claims. The Guaranteed Party acknowledges and agrees that Parent and Merger Sub have no assets other than certain contract rights and cash in a de minimis amount and that no additional funds are expected to be contributed to Parent or Merger Sub unless the Closing occurs. Recourse against the Guarantor pursuant to this Limited Guarantee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Guaranteed Party and all of its Affiliates against the Guarantor, Other Guarantors, Parent or Merger Sub in respect of any liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, the Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby, except for any Retained Claims. Nothing set forth in this Limited Guarantee shall confer or give or shall be construed to confer or give to any Person (including any Person acting in a representative capacity) any rights or remedies against any Person other than the Guarantor as expressly set forth herein.

9. NATURE OF GUARANTEE. The Guarantor’s liability hereunder is absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing irrespective of any modification, amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Merger Agreement that may be agreed to by Parent or Merger Sub. The Guaranteed Party shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that Parent or Merger Sub becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Guaranteed Party to so file shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligation hereunder. In the event that any payment to the Guaranteed Party in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Percentage of such Obligations, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as if such payment had not been made. This Limited Guarantee is a primary and original obligation of the Guarantor and an unconditional and continuing guarantee of payment and is not of collection or merely the creation of a surety relationship, and the Guaranteed Party shall not be required to initiate any legal proceedings against Parent or Merger Sub before proceeding against the Guarantor hereunder.
10. GOVERNING LAW. This Limited Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Law rules or provisions that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Any disputes, actions and proceedings against any party or arising out of or in any way relating to this Limited Guarantee and schedules hereto shall be submitted to the HKIAC and resolved in accordance with the HKIAC Rules in force at the relevant time. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the arbitration tribunal shall consist of three Arbitrators. The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; and a third Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the HKIAC 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.
12. COUNTERPARTS. This Limited Guarantee may be executed by facsimile or email and in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
