If written notice of a claim has been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties by the Purchaser to the Company, then the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until such claim has been finally resolved.

SECTION 7.02. Indemnification by the Sellers and the Founders. (a) The Purchaser and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Sellers and the Founders, jointly and severally, for and against any and all Liabilities, losses, damages, claims (including, without limitation, claims by any third party against the Company or any Subsidiary or the Purchaser alleging that the Company or any Subsidiary infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated the Intellectual Property of such third party during any period prior to the Closing), costs and expenses (including, without limitation, costs and expenses resulting from the correction or rectification by the Purchaser or the Company after the Closing of any improper use, infringement, misappropriation or other violation by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Intellectual Property of any third party during any period prior to the Closing) actually suffered or incurred by them (including, without limitation, any Action brought or otherwise initiated by any of them) (hereinafter a “Loss”), arising out of or resulting from:

(i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company, a Seller or a Founder contained in this Agreement or made by Longmaster contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement; or

(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company, a Seller or a Founder contained in this Agreement or by Longmaster contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement;

provided, however, that the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from IDGVC and Guangdong General Digital Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. (“General Digital”) shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Losses unless such Losses result from a breach by either IDGVC or General Digital; provided, further, that IDGVC and General Digital’s indemnification liabilities with respect to Losses resulted from a breach by either IDGVC or General Digital are deemed several, not joint, as to the Company and other Sellers. To the extent that the Seller’s and the Founders’ undertakings set forth in this Section 7.02 may be unenforceable, the Sellers and the Founders shall contribute the maximum amount that it is permitted to contribute under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all direct Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties.

(b) A Purchaser Indemnified Party shall give the Sellers and the Founders notice of any matter which a Purchaser Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within 60 days of such determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. The obligations and Liabilities of the Sellers and the Founders under this Article VII with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article VII (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and be contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if a Purchaser Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall give the Sellers and the Founders notice of such Third Party Claim within 30 days of the receipt by the Purchaser Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Founders from any of their obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that the Founders are materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Sellers or the Founders from any other obligation or Liability that it may have to any

Purchaser Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article VII. If the Sellers and the Founders acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Sellers and the Founders shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Purchaser Indemnified Party within five days of the receipt of such notice from the Purchaser Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Purchaser Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Purchaser Indemnified Party and the Sellers/the Founders, then the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Purchaser Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Sellers and the Founders. In the event that the Sellers and Founders exercise the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Sellers and the Founders in such defense and make available to the Sellers and the Founders, at the Founders’ expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Purchaser Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Purchaser Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Sellers and the Founders. Similarly, in the event the Purchaser Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Sellers and the Founders shall cooperate with the Purchaser Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Purchaser Indemnified Party, at the Sellers’ and the Founders’ expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Sellers’ and the Founders’ possession or under the Sellers’ and the Founders’ control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Purchaser Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Sellers and the Founders without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Indemnified Party.

(c) In the event that a Purchaser Indemnified Party claims an indemnification payment is due pursuant to Section 7.02(a), the Purchaser may withhold all or a portion of any Additional Consideration payable by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.02(c) until the dispute with respect to the indemnifiable Loss is resolved. In the event that, upon resolution of such dispute in accordance with Section 7.02(b), the Purchaser is deemed to have incorrectly withheld a portion of such Additional Consideration, the Purchaser shall promptly pay such incorrectly withheld portion to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.02, together with interest thereon calculated at the interest rate for the U.S. dollar loans of the period of delay quoted by the Bank of China on the date when such Additional Consideration is due and payable and a penalty interest calculated thereon at a daily interest rate of 0.05% for each day of delay.
