TERMINATION FEE

3.1           If the Merger is not consummated and the Parent Termination Fee becomes payable by Parent pursuant to Section 8.06(b) of the Merger Agreement, and any party hereto is a Defaulting Party (as defined below), notwithstanding anything provided under the Limited Guaranties, (a) the Defaulting Party shall be responsible for the entire Parent Termination Fee payable by Parent under Section 8.06(b) of the Merger Agreement and shall promptly pay an amount equal to the Parent Termination Fee to Parent by wire transfer of same day fund within one (1) Business Day following the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b) thereof; (b) in the event any of the Company’s fees and expenses shall become payable by Parent in accordance with Section 8.06(d) of the Merger Agreement, the Defaulting Party shall be responsible for all such fees and expenses payable by Parent; and (c) in the event that a Non-Defaulting Party’s (or the respective Guarantor’s) liabilities under the relevant Limited Guarantee become due and payable, the Defaulting Party shall indemnify such Non-Defaulting Party (or the respective Guarantor) in full for all payments made by, and all fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by, such Non-Defaulting Party (or the respective Guarantor) under such Limited Guarantee (the obligations of the Defaulting Party under this Section 3.1, collectively, the “Default Obligations”). If there is more than one Defaulting Party, each Defaulting Party shall be responsible for its Pro Rata Portion of the Default Obligations. A Defaulting Party’s “Pro Rata Portion” for the purposes of this Section 3.1 is a fraction, the numerator of which is such Defaulting Party’s Contemplated Ownership Percentage and the denominator of which is the aggregated Contemplated Ownership Percentage of all Defaulting Parties.

3.2           If the Merger is not consummated and the Parent Termination Fee becomes payable by Parent pursuant to Section 8.06(b) of the Merger Agreement, but no party is a Defaulting Party, then each party who (or whose Affiliate) also executes a Limited Guarantee shall be responsible for its (or its Affiliate’s) Guaranteed Percentage (as defined in the respective Limited Guarantee) of (i) Parent Termination Fees under Section 8.06(b) and (ii) Company’s fees and expenses under Section 8.06(d) of the Merger Agreement ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Limited Guarantee executed by such party.

3.3           A “Defaulting Party” is a party hereto, the failure of whom or whose Affiliate to perform its obligation under this Agreement or, to the extent it is a party, the Support Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter, results in the failure of the Merger to consummate. A “Non-Defaulting Party” is a party hereto who is not a Defaulting Party.

3.4           The parties shall be entitled to receive any termination, break-up or other fees or amounts payable to Parent by the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement, to be allocated ratably in proportion to their respective Contemplated Ownership Percentages, net of the costs and expenses incurred by the Consortium in connection with the Transaction, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of Consortium Advisors retained by the Consortium (but other than fees and costs of any Separate Advisors who were retained by a party in accordance with Section 4.5 unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing).

Each party may retain other advisor(s) (the “Separate Advisors”) if such party requires separate representation in connection with specific issues arising out of the Transaction, provided that such party shall (i) provide prior notice to other Consortium Members, and (ii) subject to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 5 be solely responsible for the fees and expenses of such Separate Advisors.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.1 shall prevent the Founder or any Affiliate or Representative of any Investor Member from taking any action in his capacity as a director or officer of the Company, if he determines, in his good faith judgment upon advice by the outside legal counsel of the Company, that failure to take such action is inconsistent with his fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

For the purpose of this Section 6.1, a “Competing Proposal” shall mean a proposal, offer or invitation to the Company, a party hereto or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Transaction), that relates to a Competing Transaction.

In the event the Founder terminates a Failing Investor’s participation in the Transactions, the amount of such Failing Investor’s Equity Commitment shall be offered to new investors in such amounts as may be determined by the Founder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) from and after the time an Investor Member becomes a Failing Investor as defined in sub-clause (b) of this Section 6.2, or the Founder terminates the participation in the Transactions of a Failing Investor as defined in sub-clause (a) of this Section 6.2, the approval or consent of such Failing Investor shall not be required for any purposes under this Agreement, and (ii) CICC Healthcare will in no event be deemed as a Failing Investor and the Founder may in no event terminate CICC Healthcare’s participation in the Transactions, in connection with or as a result of any failure to obtain the ODI Approval required for Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx’s participation in the Transactions.

In the event that the Consortium Members are unable to agree on the terms of the shareholders’ agreement, the terms set forth in the SHA Term Sheet shall govern with respect to the matters set forth therein following the Effective Time and until such time as the Consortium Members enter into a shareholders’ agreement. “SHA Term Sheet” means the term sheet with respect to the key terms of shareholder rights and corporate governance of Parent attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

6.4           Without the prior written consent of each other Consortium Member, no Consortium Member may (and such Consortium Member shall cause its Affiliates not to), directly or indirectly, acquire Beneficial Ownership of any Shares or other Equity Securities in the Company.

7.4           Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and damages alone would not be sufficient remedy for any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement and that each party shall be entitled to seek the remedy of injunction, specific performance and other legal and equitable relief for any breach of this Agreement (without posting a bond or other security) in additional to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity.

7.5           Announcement. No announcements or other public statement regarding the subject matter of this Agreement shall be issued or made by Parent, Merger Sub or any Consortium Member or any of their respective Affiliates without the prior written consent of all Consortium Members, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except to the extent that any such announcements or statements are required by applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction, a regulatory body or securities exchange, and then only after the form and terms of such announcements or statements have been notified to the Consortium Members and the Consortium Members have had a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon, in each case to the extent reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Consortium Member may make any Schedule 13D filings, or amendments thereto, in respect of the Company that such Consortium Member reasonably believes is required under applicable Law without the prior written consent of the other Consortium Members, provided that such Consortium Member shall coordinate with the other Consortium Members in good faith regarding the content and timing of such filings or amendments in connection with the Transactions.

7.6            Confidentiality.

(a) Except as permitted under this Section 7.6, each party shall not, and shall direct his or its Affiliates and Representatives not to, disclose any Confidential Information (as defined below) received by it or him (the “Recipient”) from any other party (the “Discloser”). Each Party shall not and shall direct his or its Affiliates and Representatives not to, use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the purposes of this Agreement or the Transactions. “Confidential Information” includes (i) all written, oral or other information obtained in confidence by one party from any other party in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions, unless such information (A) is already known to such party prior to the disclosure thereof by the Discloser or is provided to such party by others not known by such party to be bound by a duty of confidentiality to the Discloser, or (B) is or becomes publicly available other than through a breach of this Agreement by such party or is developed independently by or for such party without using any Confidential Information, and (ii) the existence or terms of, and any negotiations or discussions relating to, this Agreement and any definitive documentation in connection with the Transactions, including the Merger Agreement.

(b) Subject to Section 7.6 ‎(c), the Recipient shall safeguard and, upon the termination of this Agreement return to the Discloser or destroy (in the Recipient’s sole discretion and with written confirmation thereof by the Recipient), on demand, any Confidential Information which falls within clause (i) of the definition of Confidential Information, provided the Consortium Members may retain (i) copies of such Confidential Information in order to comply with legal, regulatory or internal policy requirements and (ii) any electronic data stored on the back-up tapes of the Recipient’s hardware.

(c) Each Party acknowledges that, in relation to Confidential Information received from the other Parties, the obligations contained in this Section 7.6 shall continue to apply for a period of eighteen (18) months following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a party may disclose Confidential Information (i) to those of his or its Affiliates and Representatives as such party reasonably deems necessary to give effect to or enforce this Agreement, but only on a confidential basis; or (ii) if required by applicable Law or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange or Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction over a Party or pursuant to whose rules and regulations such disclosure is required to be made, but only after the form and terms of such disclosure have been notified to the other Parties and the other Parties have had a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon, in each case to the extent reasonably practicable.

7.7           Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the laws of New York without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 7.7, any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its subject matter (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity, formation, effect, interpretation, performance or termination of this Agreement) shall be submitted to HKIAC and resolved in accordance with the Administrative Arbitration Rules of HKIAC. 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 (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s) shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s) 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 Administrative Arbitration Rules of HKIAC, 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.

7.8           Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that this Agreement or any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by an Investor Member to an Affiliate of such party hereto or in connection with a Permitted Syndication; provided that the party making such assignment shall not be released from its obligations hereunder. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 7.8 shall be void.

7.9           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by e-mail of PDF or scanned versions or facsimile), each such counterpart when executed being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

7.10         No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Consortium Members may be partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations or other entities, Parent, Merger Sub and each Consortium Member covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against and no personal liability shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any former, current or future direct or indirect holder of any equity, stock, general or limited partnership or limited liability company interest, controlling Person, management company, portfolio company, incorporator, director, officer, employee, agent, advisor, attorney, representative, Affiliate, members, managers, general or limited partners, shareholders, stockholders, assignees of any Consortium Member (other than any permitted assignee under Section 7.8) or of any former, current or future direct or indirect holder of any equity, stock, general or limited partnership or limited liability company interest, controlling Person, management companies, portfolio companies, incorporators, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, shareholders, stockholders, or assignees (other than any permitted assignee under Section 7.8) of any of the foregoing, as such, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, for any obligation of any Consortium Member under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation (in each case other than against parties to this Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Limited Guarantees (as applicable) or such other document or instrument as expressly provided therein and their respective successors and assigns).

7.11         No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the Persons referenced in Section 7.10, each of which is an intended third party beneficiary under Section 7.10, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving any person, other than the parties hereto and their heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assignees any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

7.12         Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Limited Guarantees, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Support Agreement and any other agreement or instrument referenced under any of the foregoing constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
