(d) any transaction between any eLong Group Company, on the one hand, and Ctrip or any Affiliate of Ctrip (other than eLong and its Subsidiaries), on the other hand, that is not on arms’ length terms and not approved by the Audit Committee of the eLong Board of Directors; or

(e) any agreement or commitment to do any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.7 is intended to, nor will it limit any action taken by, or any failure to take action by, any director of eLong in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties, and in no event shall any such action or failure to act be deemed a breach by any Purchaser Party of its respective obligations under this Agreement.

(a) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made herein by the Expedia Parties to be true and accurate when made; or

(b) any breach or violation of, or failure to perform or fulfill, any covenants or agreements made herein by the Expedia Parties.

Section 6.4 Procedure Relating to Indemnification.

(a) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Action, audit, demand or assessment (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) against it or which may give rise to a claim for Loss under this Article VI, within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, notice of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article VI. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its or their expense and through counsel of its or their choice if it or they give notice of such intention to do so to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of notice from any Indemnified Party of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties in its or their sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, then the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to retain its or their own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, provided that in no event shall the Expedia Parties be required to bear the expense of more than one counsel for all Purchaser Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction. In the event that the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties exercise the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third-Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties in such defense and make available to any Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by such Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event any Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties in such defense and make available to any Indemnified Party, at such Indemnifying Party’s or Indemnifying Parties’ expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or under such Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by any Indemnified Party. No Third-Party Claim may be settled (i) by any Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties acknowledge in writing its or their obligation to indemnify such Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third-Party Claim or (ii) by any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties, except, in the case of (ii) only, where settlement

of such Third-Party Claim (A) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties from all liability arising out of such Action, audit, demand or assessment and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4(a) shall not apply with respect to any claim, demand, audit, investigation or proceeding in respect of any Taxes required to be paid to the applicable PRC Taxing Authority by the Expedia Parties (or for which the Expedia Parties are responsible hereunder, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Tax imposed by the applicable PRC Taxing Authority with respect to the sale of the equity interests in the eLong VIEs by the Outgoing eLong VIE Shareholders to the Purchaser VIE Shareholders) in connection with the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement, the procedures in respect of which shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.3 and Section 5.4.

(b) If any Indemnified Party becomes aware of any circumstances that may give rise to an indemnification claim for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnifying Parties and (ii) deliver to the Indemnifying Parties a written notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of the circumstances giving rise to the potential claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article VI. With respect to any recovery or indemnification sought by an Indemnified Party from the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within fourteen (14) days from its receipt of the notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has disputed a claim for indemnification (including any Third Party Claim), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot resolve such dispute in thirty (30) days after delivery of the dispute notice by the Indemnifying Party, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 7.8.

Section 6.5 Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any claims any Indemnified Party makes under this Article VI will be subject to the following:

(a) Minimum Claims.

(i) None of the Expedia Indemnifying Parties shall be liable under this Agreement for any Losses in respect of any individual claim or series of related claims for any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty that is not a Fundamental Expedia Representation unless the indemnifiable Losses in respect of such claim (or series of related claims) exceed $50,000. In addition, none of the Expedia Indemnifying Parties shall be liable under this Agreement in respect of any Losses for any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty that is not a Fundamental Expedia Representation unless the aggregate amount

of all Losses in respect of such representations and warranties for which the Expedia Indemnifying Parties would otherwise be liable under this Agreement exceeds US$4,000,000, after which the Expedia Indemnifying Parties shall be liable for the full amount of the indemnifiable Losses in respect of such representations and warranties, subject to the prior sentence and Section 6.5(b).

(ii) None of the Purchaser Indemnifying Parties shall be liable under this Agreement for any Losses in respect of any individual claim or series of related claims for any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty that is not a Fundamental Purchaser Representation unless the indemnifiable Losses in respect of such claim (or series of related claims) exceed $50,000. In addition, none of the Purchaser Indemnifying Parties shall be liable under this Agreement in respect of any Losses for any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty that is not a Fundamental Purchaser Representation unless the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of such representations and warranties for which the Purchaser Indemnifying Parties would otherwise be liable under this Agreement exceeds US$4,000,000 (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account all such Losses regardless of which Purchaser Indemnifying Party made such representation(s)), after which the Purchaser Indemnifying Parties shall be liable for the full amount of the indemnifiable Losses in respect of such representations and warranties, subject to the prior sentence and Section 6.5(b).

(b) Indemnification Cap.

(i) The aggregate amount of Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties collectively shall be entitled to recover from the Expedia Parties pursuant to this Article VI (A) in respect of breach of representations and warranties made herein by the Expedia Parties that are not Fundamental Expedia Representations, shall not exceed US$83,859,960 (the “Cap Amount”) and (B) in respect of any breach of Fundamental Expedia Representations made herein by the Expedia Parties, shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(ii) The aggregate amount of Losses for which the Expedia Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover from any of the Purchaser Parties pursuant to this Article VI (A) in respect of breach of representations and warranties made herein by a Purchaser Party that are not Fundamental Purchaser Representations, shall not exceed the product of (x) the Cap Amount and (y) the Pro Rata Portion of such Purchaser Party; and (B) in respect of any breach of Fundamental Purchaser Representations made herein by a Purchaser Party, shall not exceed the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser Party as set forth in Schedule 3 hereto.

(c) Losses Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Third-Party Recoveries. All Losses for which any Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Article VI shall be reduced by the amount of (i) insurance proceeds,

indemnification payments and other third-party recoveries to which any Indemnified Party is entitled in respect of any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party and which has actually been received, obtained and realized by such Indemnified Party and (ii) any Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such Losses. In the event any Indemnified Party is entitled to any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments or any third-party recoveries in respect of any Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, receive or realize such proceeds, benefits, payments or recoveries. In the event that any such insurance proceeds, indemnification payments or other third-party recoveries are realized by an Indemnified Party subsequent to receipt by such Indemnified Party of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds, indemnification payments or other third-party recoveries relate, appropriate refunds shall be made promptly by the relevant Indemnified Parties of all or the relevant portion of such indemnification payment, less all costs of recovery and Taxes imposed with respect thereto. An Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate any Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, provided that all costs of mitigation shall be taken into account in calculating Losses hereunder.

(d) Knowledge of Breach. For the avoidance of doubt, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from the applicable Indemnifying Party under this Article VI for any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of or resulting from the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement referred to in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 , as applicable, whether or not such Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates or Representatives) had any knowledge of the breach (or knowledge of any other facts or circumstances relating thereto) on or prior to the date hereof.

(e) No Duplicate Claims. In the event a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Expedia Indemnified Party, as the case may be, recovers Losses in respect of an indemnification claim hereunder, no other Purchaser Indemnified Party or Expedia Indemnified Party, as applicable, may recover the same Losses in respect of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any liability for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery of Losses by reason of any state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation or warranty.

(f) Materiality. For purposes of this Article VI, in each case except with respect to the representations and warranties of the Expedia Parties set forth in Section 3.7, any determination of (x) whether any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty has occurred under this Agreement or (y) the amount of Losses resulting from such breach, any “materiality” qualifiers or words of similar import contained in such representation or warranty shall in each case be disregarded and not be given effect (as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such representation or warranty).

(g) Fraud. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Section 6.5 shall not apply to the extent such Losses arise or are increased as the consequence of any fraud or willful misconduct by the Indemnifying Party.

(h) No Special Damages. Losses shall expressly exclude any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (i) based on special, punitive, exemplary, indirect, incidental, consequential and similar damages, (ii) based on loss of enterprise value or dimunition in value of any business and (iii) calculated based on a multiple of profits or revenues; provided, however, that (x) Losses shall include any of the foregoing awarded in an Action (or settlement thereof) to a third party against an Indemnifying Party, without regard to the foregoing limitations, (y) Losses shall include consequential damages to the extent such damages were the reasonable and foreseeable consequence of the applicable breach and (z) in the calculation of any Loss suffered by any Purchaser as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty by Expedia related to eLong, to the extent such Loss is suffered by such Purchaser through its ownership interest in eLong (and is not a direct Loss suffered by such Purchaser), such Loss shall equal the product of (A) the percentage that such Purchaser’s equity interest in eLong upon the consummation of the purchase of the Transferred Shares hereunder (or, if lower, such percentage at the time of such breach) represents of the fully-diluted equity interest in eLong as of such applicable time multiplied by (B) the Loss suffered by eLong in connection with such breach.

Section 6.6 Indemnification Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, indemnification pursuant to this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Parties and any Parties claiming by or through any Party (including the Indemnified Parties) related to or arising from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in, or otherwise pursuant to, this Agreement, except in each case pursuant to Section 7.12 or in the case of fraud or willful misconduct.

Section 6.7 Distribution of Escrow Funds.

(a) Upon the delivery by Expedia to Ctrip of (x) a tax payment receipt issued by the applicable PRC Taxing Authority evidencing that any and all Tax that has been imposed by such PRC Taxing Authority with respect to the sale of the Transferred Shares by the Seller to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement has been paid in full, or (y) a written assessment issued by the applicable PRC Taxing Authority evidencing its determination that no Taxes are due from the Seller in connection with such sale, for all purposes of this Agreement, any and all PRC Taxes that may be imposed with respect to such sale shall be deemed to have been paid and fully settled by Expedia Parties to the applicable PRC Taxing Authority on behalf of the Seller. To the extent that, at the time of the delivery by Expedia to Ctrip of any such tax payment receipt or written assessment pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7(a), all other Taxes imposed by an applicable PRC Taxing Authority and required to be paid with respect to the sale of the Transferred Shares by the Seller to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement have been fully settled (or deemed fully settled) pursuant to this Section 6.7(a) or Section 6.7(b), the Seller and Ctrip shall deliver a Joint Written Instruction to the Escrow Agent as soon as practicable (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) to release the then-remaining funds in the Escrow Fund to the Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Bank Account.

(b) In the event that the applicable PRC Taxing Authority has made a formal assessment that is final in nature that a certain amount of Taxes is required to be paid with respect to the sale of the Transferred Shares by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and the Expedia Parties do not formally or informally contest (or cause to be contested) such assessment, or, in the event that the Expedia Parties contest (or cause to be contested) such assessment, upon final resolution of such contest (as determined by Expedia), Expedia shall promptly, after receipt of such formal assessment or final resolution, inform Ctrip of such assessment or resolution and provide Ctrip with a copy thereof, whereupon the Seller and Ctrip shall as soon as practicable (but in any event within two (2) Business Days): (i) to the extent that valid payment of such Taxes may be made by payment of the amount of such Taxes by the Escrow Agent directly to the applicable PRC Taxing Authority, deliver a Joint Written Instruction to the Escrow Agent to release an amount equal to such amount of Taxes to an account of the applicable PRC Taxing Authority on behalf of the Seller, whereupon the amount so released shall be deemed to have been paid and fully settled by the Expedia Parties to the applicable PRC Taxing Authority on behalf of the Seller, as applicable, and (ii) to the extent that valid payment of such Taxes may not be made by the Escrow Agent directly to the applicable PRC Taxing Authority, deliver a Joint Written Instruction to the Escrow Agent to release an amount equal to such amount of Taxes to the Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Bank Account, and (x) upon receipt of such amount, the Seller shall promptly remit (or cause to be remitted) such amount of Taxes to the applicable PRC Taxing Authority on behalf of itself, and (y) Expedia shall provide Ctrip, as soon as reasonably practicable, with evidence of such payment in the form of a formal receipt of payment issued by the applicable PRC Taxing Authority, whereupon the amount so released to the Seller shall be deemed to have been paid and fully settled by the Expedia Parties to the applicable PRC Taxing Authority on behalf of the Seller. To the extent that, at the time of the delivery of a Joint Written Instruction pursuant to the foregoing provisions, all other Taxes imposed by an applicable PRC Taxing Authority and required to be paid with respect to the sale of the Transferred Shares by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement have been fully settled (or deemed fully settled) pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) or Section 6.7(a), such Joint Written Instruction shall also instruct the Escrow Agent to release any remaining Escrow Funds (after the payment of Taxes to the applicable PRC Taxing Authority) to the Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Bank Account.

(c) Promptly after the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (in any event no later than thirty (30) days after such anniversary), Ctrip and the Seller shall deliver a Joint Written Instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release any remaining funds in the Escrow Fund to the Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Bank Account.

(d) The fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent in respect of the Escrow Agreement shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Seller and fifty percent (50%) by the Ctrip Parties.

Section 6.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law and subject to Governmental Orders that are issued based on a fixed amount of Purchase Price, the Parties shall treat any indemnification payment hereunder as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all tax purposes.

Section 7.2 Public Disclosure. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall consult with each other and issue a joint press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Thereafter, none of the Parties, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall issue any press release or other public announcement or communication (to the extent not previously publicly disclosed or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except to the extent a Party’s counsel deems such disclosure necessary in order to comply with any Law or the regulations or policies of any securities exchange or other similar regulatory body (in which case the disclosing Party shall give the other Parties notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable of any required disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall limit such disclosure to the information such counsel advises is required to comply with such Law or regulations, and if reasonably practicable, shall consult with the other Parties regarding such disclosure and give good faith consideration to any suggested changes to such disclosure from the other Parties). Each of the Purchaser Parties has consented to the form and content of the amended Schedule 13D statement (in substantially the form previously provided to the Ctrip Parties) that Expedia will file with the SEC on or about the date hereof. Representatives of the Expedia Parties have been provided with the Schedule 13D statement that Ctrip will file (in substantially the form previously provided to representatives of the Expedia Parties) with the SEC and the Schedule 13D statement that the Keystone Purchasers will file (in substantially the form previously provided to representatives of the Expedia Parties) with the SEC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, each of Expedia and Ctrip may make public statements in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are not materially inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the Parties or otherwise made in accordance with this Section 7.2 and do not reveal material, non-public information regarding the other Parties or the transactions contemplated this Agreement.

Section 7.3 Amendment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended if, but only if, such amendment is in writing and is duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each of the Parties.

Section 7.4 Waiver and Extension.

(a) Either Ctrip Party may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any of the Expedia Parties, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any of the Expedia Parties contained herein or in any document delivered by any of the Expedia Parties pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements of any of the Expedia Parties or conditions to the obligations of any of the Purchaser Parties contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by any Ctrip Party.

(b) Either Expedia Party may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any of the Purchaser Parties, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any of the Purchaser Parties contained herein or in any document delivered by any of the Purchaser Parties pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance

with any of the agreements of any of the Purchaser Parties or conditions to the obligations of any of the Expedia Parties contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by any Expedia Party.

(c) No waiver of any representation, warranty, agreement, condition or obligation granted pursuant to this Section 7.4 or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of such representation, warranty, agreement, condition or obligation or any other representation, warranty, agreement, condition or obligation and no waiver of any condition granted pursuant to this Section 7.4 or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant to which such condition relates. The failure of any Purchaser Party on the one hand, or any Expedia Party, on the other hand, to assert any of their respective rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

Section 7.5 Fees and Expenses. Each Party hereto shall pay all of its own fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except that the Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Expedia Parties, on the other hand, shall each pay one-half of any expenses payable in connection with the sales, use, transfer, stamp duty or similar taxes payable in connection with the conveyance and transfer of the Transferred Shares contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.6 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder may not be assigned by any Purchaser Party without Expedia’s written consent or by any Expedia Party without Ctrip’s written consent. Any assignment in violation of this Section 7.6 shall be null and void.

Section 7.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Article VI relating to the Indemnified Parties and the provisions of Section 5.6, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever.

Section 7.8 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

(b) All disputes arising out of or in connection with the present contract shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the said rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore, provided, that, the arbitrators may hold hearings in such other locations as the arbitrators determine to be most convenient and efficient for all of the parties to such arbitration under the circumstances. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

(c) The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. The Party that initiates the arbitration process (the “Claimant”) shall appoint an arbitrator in its request for arbitration (the “Request”).

The other Party (or the other Parties, acting jointly, if there are more than one) to the arbitration (the “Respondent”) shall appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Request and shall notify the Claimant of such appointment in writing. If within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Request by the Respondent, either Party has not appointed an arbitrator, then that arbitrator shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”). The first two arbitrators appointed in accordance with this provision shall appoint a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the Respondent has notified Claimant of the appointment of the Respondent’s arbitrator or, in the event of a failure by a Party to appoint, within thirty (30) days after the ICC has notified the parties and any arbitrator already appointed of the appointment of an arbitrator on behalf of the Party failing to appoint. When the third arbitrator has accepted the appointment, the two arbitrators making the appointment shall promptly notify the parties of the appointment. If the first two arbitrators appointed fail to appoint a third arbitrator or so to notify the parties within the time period prescribed above, then the ICC shall appoint the third arbitrator and shall promptly notify the parties of the appointment. The third arbitrator shall act as Chair of the tribunal.

(d) The arbitral award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding on the parties. The award may include an award of costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitral tribunal shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including, but not limited to, an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitral tribunal is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover special, punitive, exemplary, consequential or similar damages with respect to any dispute, except insofar as a claim is for indemnification for an award of such damages awarded against a Party in an action brought against it by an independent third party. The arbitral tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at commercial rates. Any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Laws, be charged against the Party resisting such enforcement. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets.

(e) The Parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, the ICC, the parties, their counsel and any person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as may be lawfully required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise, or as required by the rules of any other quotation system or exchange on which the disclosing Party’s securities are listed or applicable Laws.

(f) The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the losing Party unless otherwise determined by the arbitration award.

(g) All payments made pursuant to the arbitration decision or award and any judgment entered thereon shall be made in United States Dollars (or, if a payment in United States Dollars is not permitted by Law and if mutually agreed upon by the applicable Parties, in PRC currency), free from any deduction, offset or withholding for taxes.

Section 7.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between or among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between or among the Parties and/or their Subsidiaries and Affiliates with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 7.10 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate together in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 7.12 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which a Party hereto may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other undertaking.

Section 7.13 Joint and Several. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Expedia and the Seller hereunder are given on a joint and several basis, and Expedia agrees to cause the Seller to perform and comply with all of its obligations hereunder. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Ctrip Parties hereunder are given on a joint and several basis, and Ctrip agrees to cause C-Travel to perform and comply with all of its obligations hereunder.
