8.3 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the other Series C Transaction Documents and any other documents referred to herein or therein constitute the entire understanding and agreement among the Parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof.

8.4 Notices.

Except as may be otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, waivers and other communications made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be conclusively deemed to have been duly given (a) when hand delivered to the relevant Party, upon delivery; (b) when sent by facsimile at the number set forth in Schedule 5 hereto, upon receipt of confirmation of error-free transmission; (c) seven (7) Business Days after deposit in the mail as air mail or certified mail, receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed to the relevant Party as set forth in Schedule 5; or (d) three (3) Business Days after deposit with an international overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the relevant Party as set forth in Schedule 5 with next Business Day delivery guaranteed, provided that the sending Party receives a confirmation of delivery from the delivery service provider.

8.5 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument executed by the Parties.

No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of the same preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Without limiting the foregoing, no waiver by a Party of any breach by any other Party of any provision hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of that or any other provision hereof.

8.6 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Facsimile and e-mailed copies of signatures shall be deemed to be originals for purposes of the effectiveness of this Agreement.

8.7 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render such provision valid and enforceable and to provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby on substantially the same terms as originally intended by the Parties, and if no feasible construction would save such provision, such provision shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect unless the severed provision is essential to the rights or benefits intended by the Parties. In such event, each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or agreement which most closely effectuates the Parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.

8.8 Interpretation.

This Agreement shall be construed according to its fair language. The rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in interpreting this Agreement.

8.9 Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure.

(a) The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Series C Transaction Documents, any term sheet or memorandum of understanding entered into pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, all exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (collectively, the “Financing Terms”), including their existence and all information of a confidential nature furnished by any Party hereto and by representatives of such Party to any other Party hereto or any of the representatives of such Party shall be considered confidential information (the “Confidential Information”) and shall not be disclosed by any Party hereto to any third party except in accordance with the provisions set forth below.

(b) Except as required by law, by any Governmental Authority (including any relevant stock exchange on which the shares in a Party or any of its parent companies is listed) or otherwise agreed by all of the Parties in writing, no announcement regarding any of the Financing Terms in a press release, conference, advertisement, announcement, professional or trade publication, mass marketing materials or otherwise to the general public may be made without the prior written consent of the Investors. The final form of any press release issued by the Company shall be approved in advance in writing by the Investors.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 8.9(a), any Party may disclose (i) the Confidential Information to its current or bona fide prospective investors, Affiliates and their respective investors, shareholders, partners, limited partners, general partners, fund managers, employees, bankers, lenders, accountants, legal counsels, business partners or representatives or advisors who need to know such information, in each case only where such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and are under appropriate nondisclosure obligations substantially similar to those set forth in this Section8.8, (ii) such Confidential Information as is required to be disclosed pursuant to routine examination requests from Governmental Authorities with authority to regulate such Party’s operations, in each case as such Party reasonably deems appropriate, and (iii) the Confidential Information to any Person to which disclosure is approved in writing by the other Parties hereto. Any Party hereto may also provide disclosure in order to comply with applicable Laws, as set forth in Section 8.9(d) below.

(d) Except as set forth in Section 8.9(c) above, in the event that any Party is requested or becomes legally compelled (including pursuant to any applicable Tax, securities or other Laws of any jurisdiction) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall provide the other Parties hereto with prompt written notice of that fact and shall consult with the other Parties hereto regarding such disclosure. At the request of the other Parties, the Disclosing Party shall, to the extent reasonably and legally possible and with the cooperation and reasonable efforts of the other Parties, seek a protective order, confidential treatment or other appropriate remedy for such Confidential Information. In any event, the Disclosing Party shall furnish only that portion of Confidential Information that is legally required and shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section8.8, the confidentiality obligations of a Party under this Agreement shall not apply to (i) information which such Party learns from a third party which, in such Party’s reasonable opinion, has the right to make the disclosure, provided such Party complies with any restrictions imposed by the third party, (ii) information which is rightfully in such Party’s possession prior to the time of disclosure by the relevant other Party and not acquired by such Party under a confidentiality obligation and (iii) information which enters the public domain through no breach of confidentiality by such Party.

8.10 Further Assurances.

Each Party shall from time to time and at all times hereafter make, do, execute or cause to be made, done and executed such further acts, deeds, conveyances, consents and assurances, without further consideration, which may reasonably be required to give full effect to the terms of this Agreement or to vest in any other Party such other Party’s full rights and entitlements hereunder.

8.11 Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the Laws of Hong Kong, without regard to principles of conflict of laws thereunder.

8.12 Dispute Resolution.

Any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to or concerning any interpretation, construction, performance or breach of this Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration in Hong Kong which shall be administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules in force at the time of the commencement of the arbitration (the “Arbitration Rules”) and as may be amended by the rest of this Section 8.12. For purposes of such arbitration, there shall be three (3) arbitrators. To the extent that one Investor is involved in such arbitration, the relevant Investor shall select one arbitrator, and to the extent that multiple Investors are involved in such arbitration, Didi shall select one arbitrator on behalf of all the relevant Investors. The Warrantors and the Partnerships shall jointly select one arbitrator. All selections shall be made within 30 days after the selecting Party gives or receives the demand for arbitration. The Chairman of the HKIAC shall select the third arbitrator. If any arbitrator to be appointed by a Party has not been appointed and consented to participate within 30 days after the selection of the first arbitrator, the relevant appointment shall be made by the Chairman of the HKIAC. Such arbitrators shall be freely selected, and the Parties and the Chairman of the HKIAC shall not be limited in their selection to any prescribed list; provided, however, that (a) all arbitrators shall be fluent in English and Chinese and (b) the third arbitrator selected by the Chairman of the HKIAC cannot be a citizen of the PRC. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and Chinese. The decision of the arbitration tribunal shall be in writing and be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitration tribunal’s decision in any court having jurisdiction. The parties to the arbitration shall each pay an equal share of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each party shall separately pay for its counsel fees and expenses; provided, however, that the prevailing party or parties in any such arbitration shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party or parties its or their reasonable costs and counsel fees and expenses. In addition to contract damages, the arbitration tribunal may award provisional and final equitable relief, including injunctions, specific performance and lost profits.

8.13 Remedies.

(a) The Parties acknowledge that damages may not be an adequate remedy for losses incurred by reason of a breach of this Agreement. Each Party shall have the right to an injunction or other equitable relief enjoining any breach of this Agreement and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and each Party hereby waives any and all defenses it may have on the ground of lack of jurisdiction or competence of the court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief. The existence of this right will not preclude a Party from pursuing any other rights or remedies that it may have at law or in equity.

(b) The rights of each Party under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to all other rights or remedies that such Party may otherwise have at law or in equity.

8.14 Expenses.

Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Series C Transaction Documents, including all fees and expenses of such Party’s agents, representatives, financial and legal advisors and accountants; provided, that (a) if the Closing with respect to Didi occurs, or (b) if the Closing with respect to Didi does not occur due to (x) the breach of any provision of this Agreement by any Warrantor or Partnership, or (y) any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 not being fulfilled due to any reason attributable to any Warrantor or Partnership, the Company shall be responsible for all such expenses of Didi up to US$140,000 by transferring an amount equal to such expenses of Didi, in US$ in immediately available funds, to a bank account designated by Didi not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of transfer.

8.15 Termination of this Agreement.

(a) The Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing:

(i) with respect to any Investor, by mutual written agreement between such Investor and the Company;

(ii) with respect to any Investor, by such Investor by written notice to the Company, pursuant to Section 5.10;

(iii) with respect to any Investor, by such Investor by written notice to the Company, if any Warrantor or Partnership is in material breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement; provided, that such breach did not arise from a breach by such Investor of any provision of this Agreement;

(iv) with respect to any Investor, by the Company by written notice to such Investor, if such Investor is in material breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement; provided, that such breach did not arise from a breach by any Warrantor or Partnership of any provision of this Agreement; or

(v) with respect to any Investor, by such Investor by written notice to the Company or by the Company by written notice to such Investor, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to June 15, 2018; provided that (A) the termination right of the Company under this clause shall be conditional upon the fact that none of the Warrantors have materially breached their representations, warranties or covenants hereunder and the failure of the Closing is not due to any reasons attributable to any Warrantors; (ii) the termination rights of such Investor under this clause shall be conditional upon the fact that such Investor has not materially breached its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement and the failure of the Closing is not due to any reasons attributable to such Investor.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.15(a), it shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of this Section 8.15(b) and Section 1, Section5.8, Section 8.1 to Section 8.9 and Section 8.11 to Section8.14; provided, that such termination shall be without prejudice to the rights of any Party in respect of a breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

8.16 Investors’ Obligations Being Several. All obligations of each Investor under Section 5.8(e) and each other provision of this Agreement and under any other Series C Transaction Document shall be several and not joint.
