The Covenantors Representations and Warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall terminate two (2) years after the Closing, provided however that, the Covenantors Representations and Warranties set forth in Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 15 shall survive until the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations.
7.2 General Indemnification. Each of the Covenantors shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Investor and its respective Affiliates, and officers, directors, agents, and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, damages, Liabilities, claims, diminution in the value of the Company or any other Group Companies, the business of any Group Company or the Indemnified Party’s investment in the Company, proceedings, costs, expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred by any Indemnified Party in any Action between any Covenantor and any Indemnified Party, or any Action which is between any Indemnified Party and any third party and is related to any Covenantor, in connection with any investigation or evaluation of a claim or otherwise), penalties and interest (collectively, the “Losses”) resulting from or arising out of any breach by any Covenantor of any of the Covenantors Representations and Warranties, or other representations, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
7.3 Specific Indemnification. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Covenantors shall jointly and severally indemnify any Indemnified Party for any Loss suffered by such Indemnified Party as a result of or arising out of (i) any Group Company’s failure to withhold any Tax, or pay any Tax or Social Insurance (including any non-payment or underpayment) in accordance with the applicable Laws for all tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date; (ii) any Group Company’s failure to comply with any applicable Laws in any material respects that incurred or existed on or prior to the Closing Date; (iii) any Group Company’s failure to timely obtain any Consent or Permit from any competent Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws; (iv) any Action that are brought against any Group Company for matters that incurred before or are attributable to any event or situation incurred or existed before the Closing Date; (v) any infringement of Intellectual Properties by or of any third party in connection with or arising from any Group Company’s use of such Intellectual Properties and/or the upload, display and dissemination of any content by websites operated through the Group Companies that incurred before the Closing Date; (vi) any penalties, fine or other damage to the Group Companies arising out from the withdrawal of the paid-in registered capital of Shanghai Kuanyu in violation of applicable Laws by its original shareholders; or (vii) any penalties, fine or other damage to the Group Companies arising from the operation of third parties-owned websites by the Group Companies in violation of laws. The indemnification under this Section 7.3 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 Covenantors have any actual or constructive knowledge with respect thereto.
7.4 Procedure.
Each Indemnified Party will notify each of the Covenantors and the other Parties in writing of any Action against such Indemnified Party in respect of which any Covenantor is or may be obligated to provide indemnification hereunder promptly after the receipt of notice or Knowledge of the commencement thereof. The failure of any Indemnified Party to notify any Covenantor shall not relieve such Covenantor from any Liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 7.4 or otherwise unless the failure to so notify results in the forfeiture by such Covenantor of substantial rights and defense and will not in any event relieve such Covenantor from any obligations other than the indemnification provided for herein. Any Covenantor will have the right to participate in, and, to the extent it so desires, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties. Such participation made by any Covenantor to assume the defense shall not be deemed an acknowledgement that such Covenantor is subject to indemnification hereunder. However, each Indemnified Party will have the right to retain separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Covenantors if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Covenantors would be, in the Indemnified Party’s view, inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Covenantors will be responsible for the expenses of such defense even if it does not elect to assume such defense. None of the Covenantors may, except with the Consent of the relevant Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as a term thereof the unconditional release of such Indemnified Party of all Liabilities in respect of such Action.
7.5 Indemnification Non-Exclusive. The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or common-law remedy any Party or Indemnified Party may otherwise have.
7.6 Limitation. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the maximum liability of the Covenantors under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not exceed (i) with respect to Cheerford Limited, the Series D1 Investment Amount and with respect to CMC and Tencent Mobility Limited, the share transfer payment payable by each of CMC and Tencent Mobility Limited (the details of which are set forth in Part I-A of Exhibit A herein) plus (ii) the respective potion of the Series D2 Investment Amount for each of the Investors who are Indemnified Parties, provided however, that such maximum liability shall not apply to the indemnification obligations of the Covenantors related to any fraud, gross negligence, intentional concealment, willful misconduct, or breach of any covenant or undertaking made by any Covenantor under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

A request for such equitable or injunctive relief shall not waive this arbitration provision.
