Any party to the dispute shall be entitled to seek preliminary injunctive relief, if possible, from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the constitution of the arbitral tribunal.

(c) Remedies and Waivers. No delay or omission by any party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement or any other documents referred to in it shall: (i) affect that right, power or remedy; or (ii) operate as a waiver thereof. The single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement shall not preclude any other or further exercise or any other right, power or remedy. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies provided by law.

(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. Signatures in the form of facsimile or electronically imaged “.pdf” shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signatures were original.

(e) Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents and headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

(f) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

(g) Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. All references to “$” mean the lawful currency of the U.S. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Except as specifically stated herein, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Except as otherwise specified herein, references to a person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(h) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits hereto), together with the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Purchaser, the Company, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Purchaser. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

(i) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile or email (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an internationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) when sent by confirmed electronic mail if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not, then on the next Business Day, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The up-to-date addresses and other contact information shall be provided by a party to the other party from time to time.

(j) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties.

(k) Adjustment of Share Numbers. If there is a subdivision, split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or similar event with respect to any of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares referred to in this Agreement, then, in any such event, the numbers and types of shares of such Class A Ordinary Shares referred to in this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted as appropriate to the number and types of shares or securities that a holder of such number of Class A Ordinary Shares would own or be entitled to receive as a result of such event by reason of holding such number of Class A Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the record date for, or effectiveness of, such event.

(l) Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree irreparable harm may occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties to the Transaction Documents shall be entitled to seek injunction to prevent breaches of the Transaction Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents.
