For the avoidance of doubt, all indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Total Price and portion thereof paid or payable to the Indemnifying Party for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law; or

8.3. Proceedings.

(a) The Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it (if by a third party) or discovering the Loss, obligation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable), and the basis thereof; provided that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its liability hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. In that regard, if any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim shall be brought or asserted by any third party that, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to Section 8, the Indemnified Party shall notify promptly the Indemnifying Party of the same in writing, specifying in reasonable detail the basis of such claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, and at the Indemnifying Party’s option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled to appoint lead counsel of such defense with a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of an indemnification claim, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party stating whether it disputes all or any portion of the claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give written notice to the Indemnified Party that it disputes an indemnification claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the claim, which shall become due and payable in accordance with Section 8.4, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to control the defense of any third-party claim as provided above, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense, unless the Indemnifying Party has specifically authorized the employment of such counsel in writing, in which case the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, if the Indemnified Party controls the defense of any such claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense. If the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there exists a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to control the defense of any third-party claim as provided above, then the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense. Similarly, in the event that the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, controlling the defense of any such claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim.

8.4. Payment. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the agreement of the Indemnifying Party to pay the amount claimed by an Indemnified Party in a claim notice, or (ii) a final determination of a court or arbitration tribunal of competent jurisdiction as provided for in Section 10.3 that any amount is payable by an Indemnifying Party hereunder, such Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party as soon as commercially practicable but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter.

8.5. Investigation and Disclosure. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreement of the Indemnifying Parties, and any Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any reasonable investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of any Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 6.1.

9. Termination. This Agreement may only be terminated prior to the Closing as follows:

(a) by either the Company or Alibaba (acting on behalf of other Investors), if the Closing has not occurred by August 31, 2018;

(b) by Alibaba (acting on behalf of other Investors), if the Company is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach cannot be cured or, if it is capable of being cured, is not cured within thirty (30) days after the Company has been notified in writing of the same; provided, however, that the Investor shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9(b) if the Investor shall have materially breached or failed to perform any of its representation, warrant, covenant or agreement under this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform would give rise to the failure of the condition set forth in Section 6.2;
