Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences under this paragraph, upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event described by clause (b) of the definition thereof and triggered pursuant to Section 10.2 of the JD Finance Reorganization and Subscription Framework Agreement, and if Issuances have not then occurred such that the Issuance Percentage is 100%, JD Finance shall immediately become obligated, at the times and in the manner provided for herein, to pay to JD Group the Liquidity Event Payment in the amount referenced in the immediately preceding sentence, and JD Group agrees that only upon such occurrence, (a) JD Group shall participate in the distribution of the proceeds from such Liquidity Event with respect to the Liquidity Event Payment payable to it and the JD Finance Equity held by it at the time, only after the other shareholders of JD Finance (other than the Founder ESOP Partnership) have received their distribution in full pursuant to Section 10.2 of the JD Finance Reorganization and Subscription Framework Agreement, and (b) if there are any remaining assets after the other shareholders of JD Finance (other than the Founder ESOP Partnership) have received their distribution in full pursuant to Section 10.2 of the JD Finance Reorganization and Subscription Framework Agreement, such remaining assets shall be distributed to JD Group before the Founder ESOP Partnership until JD Group receives the full amount of Liquidity Event Payment, and (c) if there are any remaining assets after JD Group has received the full amount of Liquidity Event pursuant to the preceding sub-clause (b), such remaining assets shall be distributed to JD Group and the Founder ESOP Partnership based on the relative proportion of the JD Finance Equity held by JD Group (if any) and the Founder ESOP partnership.

any event within ninety (90) days following the consummation of such Liquidity Event, with the remainder of the Liquidity Event Payment, after giving effect to the Initial Liquidity Event Payment to be paid in three (3) equal installments due twelve (12), eighteen (18) and twenty-four (24) months after the date of such Liquidity Event; provided, that any portion of the Initial Liquidity Event Payment and the remainder of the Liquidity Event Payment arising in each case due to any Contingent Consideration shall be paid by JD Finance to JD Group as soon as reasonably practicable following the payment of such Contingent Consideration and in any event within ninety (90) days of the payment of such Contingent Consideration.

If, at the time of the determination of any Preemptive Amount of Securities under this Section 10.3(a)(iii), any other Person has preemptive or other equity purchase rights similar to the Preemptive Rights, such Preemptive Amount of Securities shall be recalculated to take into account the amount in RMB or the number of equivalent equity interests reflecting the Ownership Interest in JD Finance of such Persons that such Persons have committed to purchase, rounding down such Preemptive Amount of Securities to the nearest whole such security of JD Finance that is proposed for sale.

(iv) With respect to Additional Securities that are Equity Securities and not JD Finance Equity nor equivalent equity interests of JD Finance, JD Finance shall offer to JD Group, all or any portion specified by JD Group, of a number of such securities equal to the total number of such Additional Securities proposed to be sold, multiplied by JD Group’s Ownership Interest in JD Finance at such time (which number shall constitute the Preemptive Amount of Securities for purposes of any exercise of Preemptive Rights to which this Section 10.3(a)(iv) applies). If, at the time of the determination of any Preemptive Amount of Securities under this Section 10.3(a)(iv), any other Person has preemptive or other equity purchase rights similar to the Preemptive Rights, such Preemptive Amount of Securities shall be recalculated to take into account the number of such securities such Persons have committed to purchase, rounding down such Preemptive Amount of Securities to the nearest whole such security of JD Finance that is proposed for sale.

(b) Purchase Price. The “Additional Securities Purchase Price” for the Additional Securities to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Preemptive Rights shall be payable only in cash (unless otherwise unanimously agreed by JD Group and JD Finance), and shall equal per Additional Security the per security issuance price for the Additional Securities giving rise to such Preemptive Right.

(c) Exercise Period. The Preemptive Rights set forth in this Section 10.3 must be exercised by acceptance in writing of any offer referred to in Section 10.3(a)(i), (i) within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the notice from JD Finance of its intention to sell Equity Securities, and (ii) in connection with any marketed offering (prior to the Qualified IPO), at least five (5) Business Days prior to the printing of the preliminary prospectus in connection with such offering; provided, that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), such acceptance shall indicate a willingness to purchase at the same per equity interest price at which such securities are sold to the public (less underwriting fees and discounts, which difference shall be shared equally by JD Group and JD Finance) and may specify a maximum and/or minimum per equity interest price that such offeree is willing to pay for such Equity Securities. The closing of any purchase of Additional Securities pursuant to the exercise by JD Group of its Preemptive Rights hereunder shall occur within sixty (60) days after delivery of the notice by JD Finance as provided in Section 10.3(a)(i), subject to the receipt of any necessary Governmental Approvals to which the issuance of the Additional Securities is subject; provided, that such sixty (60)-day period shall be extended automatically as necessary to apply for and obtain any Governmental Approvals that are required to consummate such purchase, so long as JD Group is making good faith efforts to obtain such Governmental Approvals as soon as practicable in accordance with applicable Laws. If there is any such extension, the relevant period will end on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the receipt of such Governmental Approvals.

(d) Termination of Rights. The Preemptive Rights shall not be exercisable with respect to the Qualified IPO, and shall terminate (if not already terminated pursuant to the following sentence) upon, and be of no force and effect from and after, the completion of the Qualified IPO.

(a) Prior to the occurrence of Issuances resulting, in the aggregate, in an Issuance Percentage of 100%, without the prior consent of the JD Group Audit Committee:

(i) JD Finance will not issue any Equity Securities other than in a Qualified IPO, unless the pre-money valuation of JD Finance on a consolidated basis implied by such issuance of Equity Securities is not less than the valuation of JD Finance on a consolidated basis implied by the issuance of Equity Securities contemplated by the JD Finance Reorganization and Subscription Framework Agreement;

(ii) JD Finance will not undertake or consummate, and each Founder Holdco will not otherwise permit, any IPO of JD Finance other than a Qualified IPO;

(iii) JD Finance will not undertake or consummate, and each Founder Holdco will not otherwise permit, any Liquidity Event involving a Related Party as a counter-party; and

(b) Following the earliest occurrence of any Issuance, without the prior consent of the JD Group Audit Committee, JD Group shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include JD Finance or any of its Subsidiaries) to:

(i) elect not to exercise, or fail to exercise, wholly or in part, its Preemptive Rights pursuant to Section 10.3;

(ii) voluntarily Transfer any Equity Securities of JD Finance directly or indirectly held by JD Group.

Section 10.5 Transfer Restrictions. Following the Closing, neither of JD Group nor any Founder Holdco shall Transfer any Equity Securities of JD Finance Beneficially Owned by it except pursuant to one of the following provisions:

(a) Transfers to Subsidiaries. At any time, JD Group (or its Subsidiaries) and Founder Holdcos (or their Subsidiaries) (each, to the extent that it owns Equity Securities of JD Finance, a “JD Finance Equityholder” and “JD Finance Equity Transferor”) may transfer their Equity Securities of JD Finance to any wholly-owned Subsidiary of such JD Finance Equityholder; provided, however, that such transferee shall at all times continue to be a wholly-owned Subsidiary and that such transferee becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an instrument satisfactory to JD Group’s and each Founder Holdco’s Representative; and provided, further, that if, at any time, such transferee ceases to be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such JD Finance Equityholder, it shall immediately return all of the Equity Securities of JD Finance received under this Section 10.5(a) to such JD Finance Equityholder. For the avoidance of doubt, no transfer of Equity Securities of JD Group shall be deemed to be a Transfer of Equity Securities of JD Finance.

(b) Right of First Refusal.

(i) If, from time to time, a JD Finance Equityholder proposes to Transfer any Equity Securities owned by that JD Finance Equityholder to a specific Person other than the other JD Finance Equityholder (a “Proposed Transferee”), then prior to consummating such Transfer, the JD Finance Equity Transferor shall deliver a written notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the other JD Finance Equityholder (the “Offeree”), setting forth the identity of the Proposed Transferee, its bona fide intention to Transfer Equity Securities of JD Finance to such Proposed Transferee, the number and type of Equity Securities of JD Finance to be Transferred (the “JD Finance Subject Equities”), the total consideration (including the amount and form thereof) for which such Proposed Transferee has offered to acquire, or such JD Finance Equityholder has offered to sell to such Proposed Transferee the JD Finance Subject Equities (the “Offer Price”), and any other terms of the proposed Transfer.

(ii) The Offer Notice shall constitute, for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date on which it shall have been deemed given, an irrevocable and exclusive offer to sell to the Offeree (or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary designated by the Offeree), at the Offer Price, all or a portion of the JD Finance Subject Equities.

(iii) The Offeree (or a designated direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary thereof) may accept the offer set forth in an Offer Notice by giving notice to the JD Finance Equity Transferor, prior to the expiration of such offer, specifying the number of the JD Finance Subject Equities that the Offeree wishes to purchase. The Offeree may exercise the right to purchase all or a portion of the JD Finance Subject Equities pursuant to this Section 10.5(b) by causing such Person(s) to which the Offeree would be permitted to Transfer Equity Securities of JD Finance pursuant to Section 10.5(a) to purchase all or portion of the JD Finance Subject Equities directly from the JD Finance Equity Transferor, if so specified in the notice given to the JD Finance Equity Transferor pursuant to this Section 10.5(b)(iii).

(iv) If the Offeree agrees to purchase any or all of the JD Finance Subject Equities pursuant to this Section 10.5(b), it shall pay in cash or immediately available funds for, and the JD Finance Equity Transferor shall deliver valid title, free and clear of any Encumbrance, to, such JD Finance Subject Equities, subject to receipt of any necessary or advisable third-party approvals or any Governmental Approvals, within fifteen (15) days following completion of the procedures set forth in Section 10.5(b)(ii) or such longer period as is required to obtain any necessary or advisable third-party approvals or Governmental Approvals.

(v) If the offers made by the JD Finance Equity Transferor to the Offeree pursuant to Section 10.5(b)(ii) expire without an agreement by the Offeree to purchase all of the JD Finance Subject Equities, the JD Finance Equity Transferor shall have thirty (30) days following such expiry to enter into a definitive agreement with the Proposed Transferee with respect to such Transfer and, if such agreement is timely entered into, sixty (60) days following the date of that agreement to effect the Transfer of the balance of the JD Finance Subject Equities to the Proposed Transferee, for cash, at a price not less than the Offer Price, and upon terms not otherwise more favorable to the transferee or transferees than those specified in the Offer Notice, subject to the execution

and delivery by such third party of an assignment and assumption agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the other JD Finance Equityholders, pursuant to which such third party shall assume all of the obligations of a party pursuant to or under this Agreement. In the event that the JD Finance Equity Transferor has not entered into a definitive agreement with the Proposed Transferee within such thirty (30)-day period or such Transfer is not consummated within such sixty (60)-day period, the JD Finance Equity Transferor shall not be permitted to sell its JD Finance Equity Securities pursuant to this Section 10.5(b) without again complying with each of the requirements of this Section 10.5(b); provided, that such sixty (60)-day period should be extended automatically as necessary to apply for and obtain any Governmental Approvals that are required to consummate such Transfer, so long as the JD Finance Equity Transferor is making good faith efforts to obtain such Governmental Approvals as soon as practicable in accordance with applicable Laws. If there is such extension, the relevant period will end on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the receipt of such Governmental Approvals.

(vi) The right of first refusal held by JD Group pursuant to this Section 10.5(b) shall be freely assignable, in connection with any specific Transfer, to the extent that JD Group could not exercise such right without exceeding any applicable regulatory threshold. The right of first refusal held by such Founder Holdco shall be freely assignable to any Person that is controlled by the Founder.

(vii) The provisions of this Section 10.5(b) shall not be exercisable with respect to, and shall terminate upon, and be of no force and effect from and after, the completion of the Qualified IPO.

(c) Transfers to Non-PRC Persons. Prior to the occurrence of Issuances resulting, in the aggregate, in an Issuance Percentage of 100%, neither any Founder Holdco nor JD Finance shall, and JD Finance shall cause each holder of Equity Securities of JD Finance not to, enter into, effect or give effect to any Transfer of Equity Securities of JD Finance or other transaction if, to his or its knowledge after due inquiry, immediately following such transaction, any Person other than a PRC Person would acquire Beneficial Ownership of Equity Securities of JD Finance, it being understood that the applicable proposed Transferor party shall have satisfied his or its obligation of due inquiry if each Transferee party in such transaction has given an enforceable representation and warranty to each Transferor party to the effect that it is a PRC Person. Actions taken and agreements made by JD Finance, Founder Holdcos or any holder of Equity Securities of JD Finance not consistent with this Section 10.5 shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 10.6 IPO.

(a) Restructuring. Following the earliest occurrence of any Issuance, if, for any reason, a restructuring of JD Finance’s Equity Securities, including any stock split or reverse stock split, share exchange, merger or share or equity interest conversion, or of JD Finance and its Subsidiaries is required in order to effect the Qualified IPO, such restructuring shall be conducted in a manner that results in JD Group and its Subsidiaries holding equity interests of the entity that is to issue equity interests in the Qualified IPO (and equity interests of any other

entity that is not a Subsidiary of such entity succeeding to or acquiring any material assets or operations of JD Finance in such restructuring) having equivalent value and voting power as the Equity Securities of JD Finance held by JD Group and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to such restructuring.

(b) Participation Right. Following the earliest occurrence of any Issuance, if JD Finance proposes to effect the Qualified IPO, JD Finance shall give JD Group written notice of its intent to do so as soon as reasonably practicable, at a time leaving JD Group a reasonable opportunity to comply with any applicable Laws in connection with its exercise of the right described in this Section 10.6(b), and in any event not less than thirty (30) Business Days prior to the contemplated publication or public filing of the prospectus for such offering. Within fifteen (15) Business Days following the delivery of such notice and subject to applicable Law, JD Group may, at the sole discretion of the JD Group Audit Committee, by notice to JD Finance, irrevocably commit to sell a number of equity interests of JD Finance up to the number of equity interests JD Group and its Subsidiaries own directly in JD Finance, and JD Finance shall include in the Qualified IPO such number of equity interests as specified in such notice; provided, that if the managing underwriter of such Qualified IPO in good faith shall have advised JD Finance that, in its opinion, the inclusion in the offering of the number of equity interests committed to be sold by JD Group in accordance with this Section 10.6(b) would adversely affect the price or success of the offering, JD Finance shall include in the offering only such number of equity interests as JD Finance is advised can be sold in such offering without such an effect provided that any reduction in equity interests to be included in the offering shall be effected in the following order of priority: (i) first, equity interests that the JD Finance proposes to offer for its own account; (ii) second, equity interests that JD Group and its Subsidiaries have committed to sell in the offering; and (iii) third, any equity interests that other equityholders have requested to be sold in such offering.

(c) Cooperation. If requested by the managing underwriter in a Qualified IPO, following the earliest occurrence of any Issuance, JD Group shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, agree not to effect any transfer of Equity Securities of JD Finance other than as part of the Qualified IPO during a lock-up period for the longer of (i) any statutory lock-up period and (ii) a period that the managing underwriter reasonably determines to be customary for major stockholders in a large initial public offering after consultation with JD Group; provided, that in the case of clause (ii), such lock-up period is not longer than, and shall expire no later than the expiration of, any lock-up period required to be agreed to by any other seller of Equity Securities of JD Finance in the offering (including any management seller) that is expected to sell shares constituting more than 20% of the aggregate shares to be offered in the offering. If JD Group or any of its Subsidiaries is selling equity interests in the Qualified IPO, JD Group and such Subsidiaries shall enter into customary underwriting and other agreements and documentation in connection with such offering on terms substantially similar to those applicable to JD Finance, and furnish to JD Finance such information regarding JD Group and its intended method of distribution of the equity interests to be sold as JD Finance may from time to time reasonably request in order to comply with JD Finance’s obligations under all applicable securities and other Laws and to ensure that the prospectus or other offering documents conform to applicable securities and other Laws. If JD Group or any of its Subsidiaries is selling equity interests in the Qualified IPO, JD Finance shall fully cooperate with the marketing of the equity interests to be sold in the offering, including the equity interests to be sold by JD Group and its

Subsidiaries, including, at the recommendation or request of the managing underwriter, making its officers available to participate in “road show,” “one on one” and other customary marketing activities in such locations as recommended by the managing underwriter.

Section 10.7 Business Scope.

(a) JD Finance.

(i) Competing Business Investments. During the Business Scope Period, JD Finance shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of JD Group, directly or indirectly engage in, enter into, or participate in the JD Group Business as an owner, partner or principal (including by means of any arrangements that function similarly to equity interests), or otherwise compete with JD Group in the JD Group Business; provided, that JD Finance and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to make passive investment (including in Equity Securities and/or debt securities or instruments), from time to time, regardless of whether the invested company competes with the JD Group Business, provided, further that JD Finance and its Subsidiaries shall not Control the invested company.

(ii) No Exit Obligation. If JD Finance first engages in, enters into, participates in, or invests in any of the businesses at a time when it is not prohibited from doing so pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 10.7(a), JD Finance shall be permitted to continue to engage or participate in such businesses notwithstanding any such prohibition arising after such time, including as a result of subsequent changes to the scope of the JD Group Business.

Section 12.5 Procedures.

(a) In order for a JD Finance Indemnified Party or a JD Group Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement as a result of a Loss or a claim or demand made by any third Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to JD Group or JD Finance, as the case may be, (the “Indemnifying Party”), promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third-Party Claim, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XII, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) An Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, that, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Party, there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to such Indemnified Party in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party such 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 the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third-Party Claim by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the Liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim, and releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third-Party Claim. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or

discharge, or offer to settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

(c) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against an Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third-Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim promptly to the Indemnifying Party, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters, in each case, to the extent reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party.

Section 13.3 Amendment; Waiver; Etc.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived or modified if, and only if, such amendment, waiver or modification is in writing and signed, (x) in the case of an amendment or waiver of any provision of Article II, Section 10.7 or this Section 13.3 of this Agreement or of any provision that by its terms requires or contemplates the approval of or otherwise refers to the JD Group Audit Committee, by JD Finance, and by JD Group after obtaining consent of the JD Group Audit Committee, (y) in the case of an amendment of any other provision of this Agreement, by (i) JD Group and JD Finance and (ii) any Party other than JD Finance and the JD Group Parties that is adversely and directly affected by such amendment, or (z) in the case of a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, by the Party against whom 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.

(b) JD Group and JD Finance agree to negotiate in good faith and reach agreement on the termination of any provision of Section 10.1(a), Section 10.3 or Section 10.4, which termination shall be subject to the condition that the Qualified IPO be completed within a certain period of time and other conditions mutually agreed to by the parties at the time, before JD Finance applies for a Qualified IPO, if JD Group’s rights under such provision of Section 10.1(a), Section 10.3 or Section 10.4 are not permitted by, and not capable of being preserved (through preferred stock or otherwise) under, applicable Laws or applicable listing rules; provided, that JD Finance shall have used its reasonable best efforts to cause such rights to be permitted and preserved, including by seeking an exemption under applicable stock exchange rules that would permit or otherwise allow such rights to be preserved.

(c) All material actions, consents, determinations, and approvals, including in connection with amendments and waivers under Section 13.3(a) and the agreement on termination under Section 13.3(b), to be taken or made by JD Group or its controlled Affiliates under or in connection with any Transaction Document (other than any such matters that require the approval of the JD Group Audit Committee) shall be taken or made solely with prior approval of the JD Group Audit Committee or any person to whom the JD Group Audit Committee delegates such matters.

Section 13.4 Assignment. With the exception of the right of first refusal held by JD Group pursuant to Section 10.5(b), no Party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or

obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of JD Finance and JD Group; provided that the assignor shall remain liable for its obligations under this Agreement. Any assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void.

Section 13.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Schedules and Exhibits), the Disclosure Letters and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters. To the extent there is any inconsistency between (i) a provision of another Transaction Document and (ii) a provision of this Agreement that is more specific or detailed with respect to the subject matter of such other Transaction Document, then the provision of this Agreement shall govern and control. Otherwise, the provision of the other Transaction Document shall govern. In the case of any other inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Transaction Document, this Agreement shall govern.

Section 13.6 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns in accordance with this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties, or their successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. Founder Holdco shall be party to this Agreement solely with respect to Article VII, this Article XIII, and Sections 8.1, 8.2, 9.2(a), 10.1(a)(ii), 10.5, 11.1, and 12.4 and 12.5.

Section 13.7 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Transaction Documents shall be borne by the Person incurring such expenses.

Section 13.8 Governing Laws. THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE UNDER, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 13.9 Arbitration.

(a) Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination hereof or thereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted, except as they may be modified by mutual agreement of the parties. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong; 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.

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators. The Party (or the Parties, acting jointly, if there is more than one (1)) initiating arbitration (the “Claimant”) shall appoint an arbitrator in its request for arbitration (the “Request”). The other Party (or the other Parties, acting jointly, if there is more than one (1)) 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 HKIAC. The first two (2) 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 HKIAC 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 (3rd) arbitrator has accepted the appointment, the two (2) 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 HKIAC shall appoint the third (3rd) arbitrator and shall promptly notify the Parties of the appointment. The third (3rd) arbitrator shall act as chair of the tribunal.

(c) 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 reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitral tribunal shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including 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 punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any dispute, except insofar as a claim is for indemnification for an award of punitive 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.

(d) In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any Party to the arbitration Proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may, within ninety (90) days of its appointment, consolidate the arbitration Proceeding with any other arbitration Proceeding involving any of the Parties relating to the Transaction Documents. The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the Proceedings, so that a consolidated Proceeding would be more efficient than separate Proceedings, and (ii) no Party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder and any tribunal constituted under these Transaction Documents, the ruling of the tribunal constituted under this Agreement shall govern, and that tribunal shall decide all disputes in the consolidated Proceeding.

(e) The Parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the Proceeding and any element of it (including 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 HKIAC, 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 NASDAQ rules or the rules of any other quotation system or exchange on which the disclosing Party’s Equity 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 U.S. Dollars (or, if a payment in U.S. Dollars is not permitted by Law and if mutually agreed upon by the Parties, in Renminbi), free from any deduction, offset or withholding for Taxes.

(h) Notwithstanding this Section 13.9 or any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party shall be obligated to follow the foregoing arbitration procedures where such Party intends to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an interim injunction or similar equitable relief against any other Party; provided, that there is no unreasonable delay in the prosecution of that application. None of the Parties shall institute a proceeding in any court or administrative agency to resolve a dispute arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, except for a court proceeding to compel arbitration or otherwise enforce this agreement to arbitrate, to enforce an order or award of the arbitration tribunal or petition for the provisional or emergency remedies provided for herein. The Parties waive objection to venue and consent to the nonexclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore in any action to enforce this arbitration agreement, any order or award of the arbitration tribunal or the provisional or emergency remedies provided for herein. In any such permitted court action, the Parties agree that delivery of the complaint or petition by international courier, with proof of delivery, shall constitute valid and sufficient service, and they individually and collectively waive any objection to such service.

Section 13.10 Severability. Each provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a material and integral part hereof. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, in the event of a final determination of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement (and any other Transaction Documents, as applicable) or to enter into new agreements to replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and enforceable provisions providing the Parties with benefits, rights and obligations that are equivalent in all material respects as provided by this Agreement (and any other Transaction Documents, as applicable) as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) had been valid, legal and enforceable. In the event the Parties are not able to reach agreement on such amendments or new agreements, then the arbitrators (pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 13.9) shall determine, as part of their arbitral award, such amendments or new agreements such to provide the Parties with benefits, rights and obligations that are equivalent in all material respect as provided by the Agreement as if the stricken provision(s) had been valid, legal and enforceable. No Party shall, or shall permit any of its Related Parties or Representatives to, directly or indirectly assert that any provision of any Transaction Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Section 13.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and such counterparts may be delivered in electronic format (including by email), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 13.12 Rules of Construction. Each Party represents and acknowledges that, in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other instruments and documents required or contemplated hereby, it has been represented by and has relied upon the advice of counsel of its choice. Each Party hereby affirms that its counsel has had a substantial role in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement and such other instruments and documents. Therefore, each Party agrees that no rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafter shall be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement and such other instruments and documents and in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, the Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties.
