(i) After receipt of the Closing Adjustment Statement, the Seller Representative shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Adjustment Statement. During the Review Period, the Seller Representative and its accountants, legal advisors and other representatives who by reason of their direct involvement have a need to know the relevant information to render their services relating to the review of the Closing Adjustment Statement shall have access to the books and records of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Parent and/or its accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Adjustment Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Parent’s possession) relating to the Closing Adjustment Statement as the Seller Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Adjustment Statement and to prepare the Statement of Objections (as defined below), provided, however, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Parent or the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries.

(ii) On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Seller Representative may object to the Closing Adjustment Statement by delivering to Parent a written statement setting forth its objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for its disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If the Seller Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Adjustment Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Seller Representative on behalf of the Shareholders. If the Seller Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Parent and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the Closing Adjustment Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Parent and the Seller Representative, shall be final and binding.

(iii) If the Seller Representative and Parent fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to a partner of at least ten (10) years qualified experience as a PRC Certified Public Accountant at an independent accounting firm of recognized international standing (being one of the Big Four) that is not a regular auditing firm of the Parent or the Company (the “Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Seller Representative and Parent fail to jointly select such Independent Accountant within ten (10) calendar days of the expiration of the Resolution Period, either the Seller Representative or the Parent may apply to HKIAC to appoint an expert who meets the qualifications set forth in the proceeding sentence and such person shall become the Independent Accountant for the purpose of this Agreement. The Parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Adjustment Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

28

(iv) The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant (including without limitation, the fees and expenses incurred from any engagement of HKIAC to appoint the Independent Accountant pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(iii) hereof) shall be paid by the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders), on the one hand, and by Parent, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to the Seller Representative or Parent, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by the Seller Representative and Parent.

(v) The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the Parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Adjustment Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties hereto.

(d) Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment. In the event that there is any Post-Closing Adjustment (as determined pursuant to this Section 2.10), the Parent Parties shall be entitled to deduct from the Holdback KC Shares pursuant to Section 2.12(b) and/or the Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 2.11(b). For the avoidance of doubt, deduction from the Holdback KC Shares and the Escrow Amount shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent and the Surviving Company for and in respect of any Post-Closing Adjustment and in no circumstances shall offset be made against the payment of the Second-Tranche Merger Consideration.

Section 2.11 Escrow.

(a) Without limiting the application of Section 2.12, for the purpose of securing the obligations set forth in Section 2.10(d), Section 5.8(a), (b) and (d), and Section 8.2, at the Closing, Parent shall set aside from the cash portion of the Adjusted Merger Consideration an amount equal to the Escrow Amount and deposit, or cause to be deposited such amount, by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Escrow Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. For the avoidance of any doubt, Parent shall not be obligated to give any instruction to the Escrow Agent to release any Escrow Amount to the Seller Representative prior to the Escrow Release Date pursuant to Section 2.11(a).

(b) On the Escrow Release Date, Parent and the Seller Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Shareholders, in proportion to their respective percentages set out in the Merger Consideration Schedule, such amount of cash denominated in United States dollars that in the aggregate equals the product of (i) the Escrow Amount, minus (ii) the sum (the “Escrow Deduction”) of (x) the then unpaid portion of indemnification reasonably claimed by Parent Indemnitees in accordance with Section 8.2 which is reasonably supported by relevant documents, and (y) any Post-Closing Adjustment pursuant to Section 2.10(b), and (z) the Circular 7 Taxes, if any, actually paid by the Parent Parties on behalf of the Shareholders in accordance with Section 5.8(d), in each case, to the extent elected by Parent to recover, in whole or in part, from deducting the Escrow Amount pursuant to the terms hereof. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, with respect to the portion of the Escrow Deduction arising from and out of any pending or unresolved claim made by any Parent Indemnitee in accordance with Section 8.2, immediately after such pending or unresolved claim is finally resolved, any amount exceeding the final amount so resolved as payable to such Parent Indemnitee shall be paid to the Shareholders in proportion to their respective percentages set out in the Merger Consideration Schedule as soon as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.11 shall preclude any Parent Indemnitee from or other prejudice such Parent Indemnitee’s right to claim indemnification against the Founders pursuant to Section 8.2.

29

Section 2.12 Holdback

(a) At the Closing, without limiting the application of Section 2.11, the Holdback KC Shares shall be held back from the stock portion of the Adjusted Merger Consideration for the purpose of securing the obligations set forth in Section 2.10(d), Section 5.8(a), Section 5.8(b) and Section 5.8(d) and Section 8.2. For the avoidance of any doubt, Parent shall not be obligated to issue the Holdback KC Shares to the Shareholders prior to the Holdback Release Date pursuant to Section 2.12(b).

(b) On the Holdback Release Date, Parent shall issue to the Shareholders, in proportion to their respective percentages set out in the Merger Consideration Schedule, such number of KC Shares that in the aggregate equals the result of (i) the difference of (x) the US$ equivalent of RMB180 million, minus (y) the sum (the “Holdback Share Deduction”) of (i) the then unpaid portion of indemnification reasonably claimed by Parent Indemnitees in accordance with Section 8.2 which is reasonably supported by relevant documents (to the extent not deducted from the Escrow Amount) and (ii) the Circular 7 Taxes, if any, actually paid by the Parent Parties on behalf of the Shareholders in accordance with Section 5.8(d) (to the extent not deducted from the Escrow Amount), and (iii) any Post-Closing Adjustment pursuant to Section 2.10(b) (to the extent not deducted from the Escrow Amount), in each case, to the extent elected by Parent to recover, in whole or in part, from deducting the Holdback KC Shares pursuant to the terms hereof, divided by (z) KC Share Price. In the event, with respect to the portion of the Holdback Share Deduction arising from and out of any pending or unresolved claim made by any Parent Indemnitee in accordance with Section 8.2, immediately after the last of such pending or unresolved claim is finally resolved, any amount exceeding the final amount so resolved as payable to such Parent Indemnitee (the “Excess Amount”) shall be paid to the Shareholders in the form of KC Shares in proportion to their respective percentages set out in the Merger Consideration Schedule as soon as practicable, and the number of KC Shares to be issued shall equal to (A) the Excess Amount divided by (B) the KC Share Price which shall be determined based on the volume-weighted average price of Parent’s ADSs listed on the NASDAQ for thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the issuance date. If on the Holdback Release Date, Parent is no longer a public company listed on NASDAQ, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in lieu of KC Shares, payment in cash denominated in United States dollars in such amount that equals the difference of (A) the US$ equivalent of RMB180 million minus (B) the Holdback Share Deduction shall be made to the Shareholders, after the payment of which and upon the payment of the Excess Amount (if any), Parent’s obligations to issue the applicable KC Shares hereunder shall be deemed as duly discharged. If on the date the Excess Amount is determined, Parent is no longer a public company listed on NASDAQ, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in lieu of KC Shares, payment in cash denominated in United States dollars in such amount that equals the Excess Amount shall be made to the Shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.12 shall preclude any Parent Indemnitee from or otherwise prejudice such Parent Indemnitee’s right to claim indemnification against the Founders pursuant to Section 8.2.

(v) any fine or additional payment imposed or requested by relevant Government Authority after the Closing Date against the Company or any Parent Party resulting from any non-payment or underpayment of the PRC social insurance and housing fund contributions by the Group Companies before the Closing, in violation of relevant PRC Law; provided that (A) such fine or additional payment imposed or requested by relevant Government Authority is not solicited by Parent or resulted from Parent’s voluntary filings, (B) the Parent shall keep the Seller Representative fully and promptly informed of its communications with the Government Authority, and shall, promptly after the proposed amount of the fine and/or additional payment payable by the Parent Parties is determined by the competent Government Authority, deliver a written notice to the Seller Representative setting forth such proposed amount and obtain the Seller Representative’s written confirmation (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the proposed amount payable. If the Seller Representative does not agree with the proposed amount of the fine or additional payment payable, the Seller Representative shall have a reasonable opportunity to confer with the competent Government Authority to appeal and/or to reach mutual agreement as to the amount of fine or additional payment payable, and the Parent Parties shall provide necessary assistance and support upon reasonable request by the Seller Representative;

(vi) any claim against the Company or any Parent Party, arising from the date on which a notice of objection is given pursuant to Section 179 of the BVI Companies Act or from the date of which any claim is made known to the Company or the Founder Parties, as the case may be attributable to, arising out of, or relating to any Shareholder’s exercise of any right to demand payment of the fair value of its Company Shares or any Shareholder’s exercise of any dissenting or appraisal rights with respect to its Company Shares, in each case, as a result of the Acquisition Merger and pursuant to the BVI Companies Act or any other applicable Law, disregarding, for the purposes of this Section 8.2(a)(vi), in determining the amount of Losses relating thereto, any limitations provided under Section 8.2(b) and any disclosure contained in the Disclosure Schedule; and

With respect to any recovery or indemnification sought by an Indemnified Party from the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has disputed a claim for indemnification (including but not limited to any Third Party Claim), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot resolve such dispute in thirty (30) days after delivery of the dispute notice by the Indemnifying Party, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 9.4.

66

(ii) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Legal Proceeding, audit, demand or assessment (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against it or which may give rise to a claim for Loss under this Section 8.2, within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Section 8.2 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party 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 Indemnified Party within five (5) days of the receipt of such notice from the 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 Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the other party.

67
