ARTICLE VII
INDEMNITY
7.1 General Indemnity. Each Warrantor hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, and such Purchaser’s affiliates, directors, officers, agents and assigns (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses suffered by such Purchaser Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from any inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by any Warrantor in or pursuant to this Agreement.
7.2 Specific Indemnity. Without limiting the generality of Section 7.1, each Warrantor hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser Indemnified Party, from and against any and all losses suffered by such Purchaser Indemnified Party as a result of, or based upon or arising from (i) the failure by the Warrantors to procure the Staying Onshore Investors or the Staying Onshore Investor Transferees to transfer all of their equity interests in ECMOHO Shanghai to ECMOHO Hong Kong, or (ii) the failure by the Warrantors to procure the termination of the Capital Increase Agreements, the Round A Shareholders Agreement (as defined in the Investors Rights Agreement) and the Round B Shareholders Agreement (as defined in the Investors Rights Agreement) in accordance with Section 6.13. Such indemnification shall not be prejudiced by or be otherwise subject to any disclosure (in the Disclosure Schedule or otherwise) and shall apply regardless of whether the Purchaser Indemnified Parties have any knowledge, actual or constructive, with respect thereto.

7.3 Limit on Liability. The aggregate liability of the Warrantors in respect of all claims under the Transaction Documents to any Purchaser shall not exceed the purchase price paid by such Purchaser under this Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to conduct due diligence and investigation with respect to the Group Companies, and in no event shall any Warrantor have any liability to such Purchaser with respect to inaccuracy in or breach or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Warrantor in or pursuant to this Agreement to the extent such Purchaser or Delta knew of such inaccuracy, breach or nonperformance as of the relevant Closing Date.
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing as between the Company and the Purchasers:
(a) by mutual written consent of the Parties;
(b) by the Company if there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Purchasers in this Agreement, or any such representation and warranty shall have become untrue after the Execution Date, such that Article V would not be satisfied and such breach or condition is not curable or, if curable, is not cured within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof is given by the Company to the Purchasers; or
(c) by the Purchasers if there has been a material breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company to the Purchasers in this Agreement, or any such representation and warranty shall have become untrue after the Execution Date, such that Article IV would not be satisfied and such breach or condition is not curable or, if curable, is not cured within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof is given by the Purchasers to the Company.
8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VII, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect with no liability to any Person on the part of any Party (or of any of its Representatives or Affiliates); provided, however, and notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, that no such termination shall relieve any Party of any liability or damages to the other Party resulting from (a) any knowing and intentional material breach of this Agreement or (b) the provisions set forth in this Section 7.2 and Article VIII.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each Party, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against which the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
-22-
9.2 Expenses. The Company shall bear the cost of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction, including all reasonable fees and expenses of its and the Purchasers’ respective Representatives; provided, however, that such fees and expenses of all of the Purchasers in the aggregate shall not exceed US$70,000.00. If the Closing does not occur, each Party shall bear its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the Transaction contemplated herein, including all fees and expenses of their Representatives.
9.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement.
9.4 Governing Law and Venue; Specific Performance.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW RULES THEREOF THAT WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
(b) Subject to Section 9.4(c), any disputes, actions and proceedings against any Party arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the HKIAC and resolved in accordance with the arbitration rules of the HKIAC (the “Arbitration Rules”) in force at the relevant time, except as such rules are modified or displaced by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). 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 to the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator, as applicable, within the time limits specified by the Arbitration 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 and, in the case of any award of monetary damages, shall be denominated in U.S. dollars. 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.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in this Section 9.4, any Party may, to the extent permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction where application is made, seek an interim injunction from a court or other authority with competent jurisdiction and, notwithstanding that this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, a court or authority hearing an application for injunctive relief may apply the procedural law of the jurisdiction where the court or other authority is located in determining whether to grant the interim injunction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.4(c) is only applicable to the seeking of interim injunctions and does not restrict the application of Section 9.4(d) in any way.
-23-
(d) The Parties 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. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity.
9.5 Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any Party to any other Party or Parties shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, by facsimile, e-mail or overnight courier:

(a) Each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, keep confidential and not use or disclose any information provided by the other Party or the Company (whether oral, written or in any other form), which the other Party or the Company has provided prior to the date of this Agreement or may provide to the Purchaser subsequent to the date of this Agreement, and any information derived by the Purchaser or its Representatives from such information, including the existence and terms and conditions of this Agreement (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall not include information that:
(i) is publicly available or becomes publicly available without the breach of any obligations of confidentiality by the receiving Party;

(c) If a Party becomes legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, it shall provide the other Party with prompt prior written notice and may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required and shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such Confidential Information; provided, that the failure to obtain such assurance of confidential treatment shall not limit or restrict any disclosures otherwise permitted under this Section 9.7. If a Party is required by applicable securities laws or rules or regulations of each stock exchange upon which the securities of a Party or the Company are listed or pursuant to a request by any other regulatory or Governmental Entity in any jurisdiction to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such Party shall as far as reasonably practicable, and to the extent permitted by law, make such disclosure only after prior consultation with the other Party and after giving the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed disclosure.
-25-
(d) All Confidential Information provided by a Party shall be and shall remain the property of such Party or, as the case may be, the Company. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, subject to applicable laws, within ten (10) days following a request by the other Party, return to such Party all Confidential Information and all reproductions of Confidential Information, or promptly destroy such Confidential Information or reproductions thereof in any form (except that if such Confidential Information or any reproduction thereof is in electronic form, a Party shall only be required to destroy such Confidential Information or any reproduction thereof to the extent permitted by applicable laws and reasonably practicable) and deliver to the other Party a certificate signed by a senior officer of the receiving Party confirming compliance with this Section 9.7. In the case of such Confidential Information that is not returned or destroyed, the Purchaser shall continue to keep such information confidential pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.7 and shall not use such Confidential Information for purposes other than the compliance with such laws.
9.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Party hereby agrees that its representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other Party, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Persons other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.
9.9 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.
