Article IV
MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1  Indemnity.

 

(a) In consideration of the Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and acquiring the Purchased Shares hereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee, without duplication, as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, or (c) any Legal Proceeding. The maximum amount of Indemnified Liabilities payable by the Company under this Section 4.1 shall not exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price actually paid by the Purchaser to the Company.

 

(b) In the event an Indemnitee has a claim against the Company, such Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 4.1 unless and to the extent that the Company shall have been actually prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnitee to so notify such party. If the Company disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the relevant Indemnitee and the Company shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 4.4.

 

(c)   In case any proceeding is brought against an Indemnitee which such Indemnitee reasonably believes may result in a demand for indemnification against the Company pursuant to this Section 4.1 (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnitee shall promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days) give notice of such Third-Party Claim to the Company indicating the nature of such Third-Party Claim and the stated basis therefor and the amount of Indemnified Liabilities claimed pursuant to such Third-Party Claim, to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay, including any notice provided beyond such thirty (30) day period, on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying the Company shall relieve the Company from any liability hereunder, unless (and then solely to the extent) the Company is prejudiced or damaged in any manner by such delay. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third Party Claim, including, without limitation, any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument directly relating thereto. If within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnitee shall have received written notice from the Company acknowledging, in a writing, that the Company is obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnitee under the terms of their indemnification obligations hereunder in connection with a particular Third Party Claim, then the Company shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, in which case the attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs incurred by the Company in connection with defending such Third-Party Claim shall be payable by the Company. If the Company elects to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Company shall consult with Indemnitees and the Indemnitee may participate in such defense, but in such case the expenses of the Indemnitee shall be paid by Indemnitee (however, such fees shall be at the Company’s expense if a conflict of interests exists between an Indemnitee and the Company with the Indemnitee having different or additional defenses than the Company). If the Company fails to defend a Third Party Claim, is otherwise restricted from so defending, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the Company fails to prosecute or withdraws from such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the Company’s expense. If an Indemnitee assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms hereof (i) the Indemnitee shall consult with the Company on selection of counsel and other litigation decisions, (ii) the Company may otherwise participate in such defense at its own expense and (iii) if the Indemnitee proposes to settle such Third Party Claim prior to a final judgment thereon, then Indemnitee shall give the Company prompt written notice thereof, and the Indemnitee may not settle such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that, except with the consent of the Company, no such settlement shall be determinative of whether there is any underlying basis for indemnification under this Section 4.1 nor the amount of Indemnified Liabilities relating to such Third Party Claim. No Indemnitee shall be entitled to settle any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Company at any time when the Company is conducting the defense of such Third party Claim in accordance with this Section 4.1(c). If the Company exercises its right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, it shall not make any settlement of any claims without the written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

4.2  No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section 4.1.

 

4.3  Survival. The representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1 shall survive the Closing.

Such negotiations shall begin immediately after one party has delivered to the other parties a written request for such negotiations. If within ten (10) days following the date on which such notice is delivered a Dispute is not resolved, all such unresolved Disputes shall be referred to arbitration upon the request of a Party with notice to the other Party.

ii.The respondent (the “Respondent”) shall designate one arbitrator in the answer to the Notice of Arbitration (the “Answer to the Notice of Arbitration”).

iii.The two arbitrators so appointed above shall, within 15 days of confirmation of the second arbitrator, designate a third arbitrator who shall act as the presiding arbitrator of the arbitral tribunal. Failing such designation within the 15 days from the confirmation of the second arbitrator, HKIAC shall, within 15 days upon application by either party, appoint the presiding arbitrator.

 

(c)   The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The arbitration tribunal shall apply the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center Administered Arbitration Rules (the “HKIAC Rules”) in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. The HKIAC Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference to this sub-Section.

(e)   Each Party shall cooperate with the other Party in making full disclosure of and providing complete access to all relevant information and documents requested by the other in connection with such arbitration proceedings; provided, that the Dispute shall be resolved in a confidential manner, and none of the foregoing information or documents or the result of the arbitration shall be disclosed or otherwise used unless required by law or to a court in aid of enforcement of the arbitration award.

 

(f)   During arbitration and prior to an arbitration award being granted, the Parties shall continue to perform those obligations under this Agreement that are not in dispute. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, it is agreed and understood that each Party retains its right to seek any temporary injunctive relief available under applicable law in respect of any breach by the Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(g) Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may be entitled or become entitled (including without limitation sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-award attachment, immunity to post-award attachment or otherwise) in any arbitration proceedings and/or enforcement proceedings against it arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.11 Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any action or proceeding whether in its entirety or in any portion, then such provision shall be deemed amended, if possible, or deleted, as the case may be, from the Agreement in order to render the remainder of the Agreement and any provision thereof both valid and enforceable, and all other provisions hereof shall be given effect separately therefrom and shall not be affected thereby.

 

4.12 Fees and Expenses. Each of the Parties will bear their respective expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, consultants and financial advisors.

 

4.13 Confidentiality and Public Announcement. Each Party shall keep in confidence, and shall not use (except for the purposes of the transactions contemplated hereby) or disclose, any non-public information disclosed to it or its affiliates, representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Each Party shall ensure that its affiliates, representatives and agents keep in confidence, and do not use (except for the purposes of the transactions contemplated hereby) or disclose, any such non-public information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Party believes in good faith that any announcement or notice must be prepared or published pursuant to applicable laws (including any rules or regulations of any securities exchange or valid legal process) or information is otherwise required to be disclosed to any governmental authority, such Party may, in accordance with its understanding of the applicable laws, make the required disclosure in the manner it deems in compliance with the requirements of applicable laws, provided that any public announcement of this transaction by each Party shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser or an affiliate of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser or an affiliate of the Purchaser in any press release or filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Nasdaq, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with (A) any registration statement and (B) the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the SEC and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, request of the SEC or Nasdaq regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (ii).

The Purchaser, covenants that it will comply with the provisions of any confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement executed by it and, in addition, until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are required to be publicly disclosed by the Company, the Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

4.14 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Purchaser by written notice to the Company, if the Closing has not been consummated by October 1, 2026 (the “Long Stop Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall not be available to the Purchaser whose failure to perform any material obligation required to be performed by the Purchaser under this Agreement has been a cause of, or results in, the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated by the Long Stop Date. No such termination pursuant to this Section 4.14 will affect the right of any Party to sue for any breach by the other Party.

 

4.15 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity. The Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Purchaser. The Company agrees that the Purchaser shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

 

4.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

4.17 Headings. The headings of the various articles and sections of this Agreement are inserted merely for the purpose of convenience and do not expressly or by implication limit, define or extend the specific terms of the section so designated.
