(b)                   any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement contained herein or any of the other Transaction Documents (each of (a) and (b), a “Breach”).

the Key Holders shall, jointly and severally, or cause the other Warrantors to, cure such Breach (to the extent that such Breach is curable) to the satisfaction of the Purchaser (it being understood that any cure shall be without recourse to cash or assets of any of the Group Companies). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrantors shall also, jointly and severally, indemnify the Purchaser and its Affiliates, limited partners, members, stockholders, employees, agents and representatives (each, an “Indemnitee”) for any and all losses, liabilities, damages, liens, claims, obligations, penalties, diminution in the value of the Purchaser’s interest in the Company, settlements, deficiencies, costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable advisor’s fees and other reasonable expenses of investigation, defense and resolution of any Breach paid, suffered, sustained or incurred by the Indemnitees (each, an “Indemnifiable Loss”), resulting from, or arising out of, or due to, directly or indirectly, any Breach.

7

7.2.         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and keep indemnified the Indemnitees at all times and hold them harmless against any and all Indemnifiable Losses resulting from, or arising out of, or due to, directly or indirectly, any claim for tax which has been made or may hereafter be made against the Domestic Company and any other Group Company wholly or partly in respect of or in consequence of any event occurring or any income, profits or gains earned, accrued or received by the Domestic Company and any other Group Company on or before the Closing and any reasonable costs, fees or expenses incurred and other liabilities which the Domestic Company and any other Group Company may properly incur in connection with the investigation, assessment or the contesting of any claim, the settlement of any claim for tax, any legal proceedings in which the Domestic Company or any other Group Company claims in respect of the claim for tax and in which an arbitration award or judgment is given for the Domestic Company or any other Group Company and the enforcement of any such arbitration award or judgment whether or not such tax is chargeable against or attributable to any other person, provided, however, that the Warrantors shall be under no liability in respect of taxation:

(a)                   that is promptly cured without recourse to cash or other assets of any Group Company;

(b)                   to the extent that provision, reserve or allowance has been made for such tax in the audited consolidated financial statement of the Company;

(c)                    if it has arisen in and relates to the ordinary course of business of the Domestic Company since the Statement Date;

(d)                   to the extent that the liability arises as a result only of a provision or reserve in respect of the liability made in the Financial Report being insufficient by reason of any increase in rates of tax announced after the Closing with retrospective effect; and

(e)                    to the extent that the liability arises as a result of legislation which comes into force after the Closing and which is retrospective in effect.

The survival period for any indemnity obligation relating to claims for tax matters arising under this Section 7.2 shall be the applicable statute of limitations for tax claims.

7.3.         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.1 and 7.2, the Key Holders’ indemnity obligations shall be secondary to those of the Group Companies and shall solely be satisfied with the Ordinary Shares or other equity interests in any of the Group Companies held (either directly or indirectly) or acquired after August 26, 2016 by the Key Holders (with each Ordinary Share, to the extent such shares are used, valued at the higher of (i) the price paid for each Purchased Share hereunder (as adjusted for share splits, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications and similar transactions) and (ii) the fair market value of such Ordinary Share (determined pursuant to Section 8.14 if the parties to such dispute cannot agree). To the extent the Purchaser is able to recover any Indemnifiable Loss from the Group Companies, the Key Holders shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser with respect to such amount of Loss.

8

7.4.         If the Purchaser or other Indemnitee believes that it has a claim that may give rise to an obligation of any Warrantor pursuant to this Section 7, it shall give prompt notice thereof to the Warrantors stating specifically the basis on which such claim is being made, the material facts related thereto, and the amount of the claim asserted. In the event of a third party claim against an Indemnitee for which such Indemnitee seeks indemnification from the Warrantors pursuant to this Section 7, no settlement shall be deemed conclusive with respect to whether there was an Indemnifiable Loss or the amount of such Indemnifiable Loss unless such settlement is consented to by one Key Holder acting on behalf of the other Key Holders, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any dispute related to this Section 7 shall be resolved pursuant to Section 8.14.

7.5.         Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Warrantors shall not be liable in respect of a claim unless and until the amount recoverable from the Warrantors in respect of that claim exceeds US$500,000.

7.6.         Absent fraud, gross negligence and/or willful misconduct by any of the Warrantors, the aggregate amount of the Indemnifiable Losses of the Purchaser shall not exceed the purchase price actually received by the Company from the Purchaser.

8.              MISCELLANEOUS.

8.1.         Survival of Warranties.
