Securities Purchase Agreement and Content
License Transaction
On November 23, 2015, YOU On Demand
Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SSS
Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Beijing Sun Seven Stars Culture Development Limited, a PRC company (“SSS”),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and SSS agreed to purchase 4,545,454 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value
$0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for $2.20 per share, or a total purchase price of $10.0 million.
In addition, the Company agreed to issue SSS two-year warrants to acquire an additional 1,818,182 shares of Common Stock, which
warrants will have an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the “SSS Securities Purchase”). Closing of
the SSS Securities Purchase is subject to certain closing conditions, including receipt of approval from the holders of a majority
of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, voting together as a single
class on an as-converted basis. The Company is also required to enter into a Voting Agreement and the Content License, both of
which are further described below. In addition, C Media Limited (of which Xuesong Song is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer)
will exchange 7,000,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for 933,333 shares of our common stock, and both Xuesong Song and
Shane McMahon will step down as Executive Chairman and Chairman, respectively, and their respective employment agreements shall
terminate on January 31, 2016 provided that Mr. Song and Mr. McMahon will remain as members of the Board of Directors.
Prior to the closing of the SSS Securities
Purchase Agreement, SSS agreed to use reasonable efforts to secure $50.0 million of financing for the Company, which proceeds
will be used by the Company to produce its own original content.
Pursuant to the SSS Securities Purchase
Agreement, and contingent upon the closing of the SSS Securities Purchase, the Company agreed to increase the size of its board
of directors from five to eight members, and SSS will have the right to nominate up to three directors, such nomination rights
intended to be proportional with its beneficial ownership following the closing of the SSS Securities Purchase. SSS will have
such designation rights, proportional to its beneficial ownership, for so long as it beneficially owns at least 5% of the Common
Stock.
The foregoing summary does not purport to
be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the SSS Securities Purchase Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
SSS Securities Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Content License
In connection with the closing of the SSS Securities
Purchase, the Company will enter into a Content License Agreement with SSS (the “Content License”), pursuant
to which SSS will grant the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free content distribution right for certain assets valued at approximately
$29.1 million, in exchange for 9,208,860 shares of Common Stock, at a value exchange of $3.16 per share. These assets include,
subject to certain restrictions, the right to (i) license, exhibit, distribute, reproduce, transmit, perform, display and otherwise
exploit and make available certain movies and television programs (that the Company currently has no rights to with its own content
agreements and arrangements) (the “Titles”) within mainland China, (ii) copy and dub the Titles and make
or have made translations of the Titles, (iii) promote each Title in any manner or media, (iv) use the Titles for audience and
marketing testing, sponsor/advertiser screening and reference and file purposes and (v) include the Company’s name, trademark
and logo in the Titles to identify the Company as the exhibitor of the Titles. Additionally, SSS will provide the Company with
the right of first negotiation on all live-action or animated feature-length movies that SSS develops or obtains the right to license
during the term of the Content License.
The foregoing summary does not purport to
be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Content License and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Content License
attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.
Tianjin Agreement
On November 23, 2015, the Company also
entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Tianjin Enternet Network Technology Limited, a PRC Company ("Tianjin"), an affiliate of SSS (the “Tianjin Agreement”). Under the Tianjin Agreement,
Tianjin agreed to contribute 100% of the equity interests of Tianjin Sevenstarsflix Network Technology Limited, a PRC company
(“SSF”), a to-be-formed subsidiary of Tianjin to the Company. SSF will offer a branded pay content
service delivered to consumers ubiquitously through all its platform partners, will track and share consumer payments and other
behavior data, will operate a customer management and data-based service and will develop mobile social TV-based customer management
portals.
In exchange for the sale of the equity interest
in SSF, Tianjin will receive shares of the Common Stock over
three years, with the exact amount based on
an earn-out provision, such amounts not to exceed 5.0 million shares of Common Stock for each of 2016, 2017 and 2018. Pursuant
to the earn-out provision, Tianjin may receive up to 5.0 million shares of the Common Stock for each of 2016, 2017
and 2018 if either (i) the number of homes and/or users subscribing to one or more of the content services provided by SSF (the
“Homes/Users Passed”) is greater than or equal to the earn-out Homes/Users Passed threshold or (ii)
the net income of SSF’s business is greater than or equal to the earn-out net income threshold. The target thresholds for
the year ending December 31, 2016 are either 50.0 million Homes/Users Passed or $4.0 million net income. The target thresholds
for the year ending December 31, 2017 are either 100.0 million Homes/Users Passed or $6.0 million net income. The target thresholds
for the year ending December 31, 2018 are either 150.0 million Homes/Users Passed or $8.0 million net income.
The closing of the Tianjin Agreement is
subject to various closing conditions, including receipt of approval from the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding
Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis.
The Company is also required to enter into a Voting Agreement and the Content License, both of which are further described below.
The foregoing summary does not purport to
be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Tianjin Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Tianjin Agreement

not be materially adverse to the Company. None of such Licenses is subject to any restriction or condition that limits or would
reasonably be expected to limit in any material way the full operation of the Company or its Subsidiaries as currently conducted
or currently contemplated to be conducted. Each of the Licenses has been duly obtained, is valid and in full force and effect,
and is not subject to any pending or threatened proceeding to limit, condition, suspend, cancel, suspend, or declare such License
invalid. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in any material respect with respect to any of the Licenses,
and to the knowledge of the Company no event has occurred which constitutes, or with due notice or lapse of time or both may constitute,
a default by the Company or any such Subsidiary under any License.
3.11 Litigation.
There is no legal action, suit, arbitration, proceeding or, to the knowledge of the Company, other legal, administrative or other
governmental investigation or inquiry pending or claims asserted (or, to the knowledge of the Company, any threat thereof) against
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or relating to any of the Company Agreements or the Contemplated Transactions or against
any officer, director or employee of the Company in connection with such Person’s relationship with or actions taken on behalf
of the Company. The Company is not subject to any Decree that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be
expected to be material to the Company.
3.12 Material
Contracts.
(a) Schedule
3.12(a) sets forth a true, correct and complete list of the following Contractual Obligations (including every written amendment,
modification or supplement to the foregoing or other material amendment, modification or supplement to the foregoing that is binding
on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party: (i) any Contractual Obligation
that is a “material contract” (as such term is defined in Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K of the Commission), (ii)
Contractual Obligations that collectively represent the top 5 agreements (based on cost) with content licensors for the Company
and its Subsidiaries during the Company’s last fiscal year, (iii) Contractual Obligations that collectively represent the
top 5 agreements (based on revenue) for distribution services and cooperation agreements of the Company and its Subsidiaries during
the Company’s last fiscal year, (iv) any Contractual Obligation (other than a Contractual Obligation described in one of
the other provisions of this Section 3.12(a) without regard to any threshold contained therein) that involves annual expenditures
during the Company’s last fiscal year by the Company or any Company Subsidiary in excess of $200,000 and is not otherwise
cancelable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without any financial or other penalty on 90-days’ or less notice, (v)
any Lease for real property or (vi) any other Contractual Obligation that is material to the Company or its Subsidiaries (each
Contractual Obligation referenced above in clauses (i) through (vi) individually, a “Material Contract” and collectively,
“Material Contracts”); provided that, with respect to Company Material Contracts described above, such list shall identify
the date of such contract and any communications (written or, to the knowledge of the Company, oral) received by the Company or
its Subsidiaries from any party to such contract or on behalf of any such party that such party intends to cancel, terminate, seek
re-bidding of or fail to renew such contract. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.12(a), the Company has delivered or made available
true, correct and complete copies of all such Contractual Obligations to counsel to Purchaser.
(b) All
of the Material Contracts are valid, binding and in full force and effect in all material respects and enforceable by the Company
in accordance with their respective terms in all material respects, subject to Equitable Principles. The Company is not in material
default or breach under any of its Contractual Obligations or organizational documents and, to the knowledge of the Company, no
other party to any of its Contractual Obligations is in material default or breach thereunder (and no event has occurred which
with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would result in a material default or breach by the Company or, to the
knowledge of the Company, by any other party thereunder). Except as set forth on Schedule 3.12(b), neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries is a party to any non-competition agreement or any other agreement or obligation that materially limits or
will materially limit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from engaging in any line of business in any territory.
3.13 Environmental.
The Company and its Subsidiaries are, and have been, in compliance with all Environmental Laws, except where such non-compliance,
individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Company. Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice that alleges that the Company or its Subsidiaries is not
in compliance with any Environmental Laws, and to the knowledge of the
Company, there are
no circumstances that could reasonably be expected to prevent or interfere with such compliance in the future. There is no Environmental
Claim pending, or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the
operations or business of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or against any Person whose liability for any Environmental Claim the
Company or its Subsidiaries has retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of Law. There has been no release at any
time of any Materials of Environmental Concern at, on, about, under or within any real property currently, or to the knowledge
of the Company, formerly owned, leased, operated or controlled by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their predecessors.
3.14 Taxes.
All Returns required to be filed by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have been timely filed (after giving effect to any
valid extensions of time in which to make such filings) and all such Returns are true, complete, and correct in all material respects.
All Taxes that are due or claimed to be due from the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have been timely paid, other than those
(i) currently payable without penalty or interest or (ii) being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for
which, in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii), adequate reserves have been established on the books and records of the Company
and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP. There are no proposed, asserted, ongoing or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened,
assessments, examinations, claims, deficiencies, Liens or other litigation with regard to any Taxes or Returns of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries. To the knowledge of the Company, the accruals and reserves on the books and records of the Company and
its Subsidiaries in respect of any Tax liability for any taxable period not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments
of Tax for any such period. The Company is not a United States real property holding corporation as defined in Section 897(c)(2)
of the Code. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to
file any Tax Return. All material amounts required to be collected or withheld by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have been
collected or withheld and any such amounts that are required to be remitted to any taxing authority have been duly and timely remitted.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension
of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency. No taxing authority in a jurisdiction where the Company or its Subsidiaries
do not file Tax Returns has made a written claim or assertion that the Company or its Subsidiaries are or may be subject to taxation
by such jurisdiction. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is not a party to or bound by any Tax sharing or Tax allocation
or similar Contractual Obligation. True and complete copies of all income Tax Returns that have been filed by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries for Tax periods after December 31, 2008 have been delivered or made available to the Purchaser. The Company
and each of its Subsidiaries (A) has not been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return (other
than a group of which the Company was the common parent) or (B) does not have any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other
than the Company) under Treasury Regulation ss. 1.1502 -6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Requirement of
Law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has not agreed, and is
not required to include in income any adjustment pursuant to Section 481(a) of the Code (or analogous provision of foreign, state,
or local Requirement of Law) by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise, and the Company and each of its Subsidiaries
does not have knowledge that the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) has proposed or is considering any such change
in accounting. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries will not be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item
of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a result of any:
(A) “closing agreement” as described in Code ss. 7121 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or
foreign income Tax Requirement of Law) executed on or prior to the Closing Date; (B) installment sale or open transaction disposition
made on or prior to the Closing Date; or (C) prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing Date.
3.15 Title
to Property and Assets; Leases. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.15, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good and
marketable title, free and clear of all Liens to all of its assets, including all real property and interests in real property
owned in fee simple by the Company and its Subsidiaries and all real property leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by the Company
and its Subsidiaries and any assets and properties which it purports to own, except (i) Liens for taxes not yet due and payable
and (ii) Liens that do not interfere with the use, utility or value of such assets in any material respect. All leases to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (collectively, the “Leases”) are valid and binding and in full force
and effect in accordance with their respective terms on the Company and its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company,
with respect to each other party to any such Leases, except, in each case, subject to Equitable Principles. No material default
(or event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a material default) by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, or to the knowledge of the Company by any other party thereto, has occurred and is continuing under the
Leases. The Company and its Subsidiaries enjoy a peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such Leases to which any of them
is a party as lessee. With respect to each Lease, to the knowledge of the Company, either (a) such Lease is not subject or subordinate
to any mortgage, deed of trust or other lien which has priority over such Lease, or (b) the holder of any such lien has entered
into a valid, binding and enforceable nondisturbance agreement in favor of the lessee pursuant to which the Lease cannot be extinguished
or terminated by reason of any foreclosure or other acquisition of title by such holder if the lessee thereunder is not in default
under the Lease as of the date of acquisition of title. As used herein, the term
“Lease”
shall also include subleases or other occupancy agreements (and any amendments thereto) and the term “lessee” shall
also include any sublessee or other occupant. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries own any real property.
3.16 Compliance
with ERISA. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16, the Company has made available to the Purchaser true and complete copies
of each Employment Agreement and each material Company Benefit Plan, as well as certain related documents, including, but not limited
to, (a) the actuarial report for such Company Benefit Plan (if applicable) for each of the last two years, (b) the most recent
determination letter from the IRS (if applicable) for such Company Benefit Plan, (c) the two most recent annual reports (Series
5500 and related schedules) required under ERISA (if any), (d) the most recent summary plan descriptions (with all material modifications)
and (e) all material communications to any current or former employees of the Company relating to any material Company Benefit
Plan or Employment Agreement. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect: (A) each of the Company Benefit Plans has been operated and administered in all material respects in compliance
with its terms and all applicable Laws; (B) each of the Company Benefit Plans intended to be “qualified” within the
meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified; and (C) there are no pending, or to the knowledge of Company, threatened
claims (other than routine claims for benefits) by, on behalf of or against any of the Company Benefit Plans or any trusts related
thereto or pursuant to any Employment Agreement. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate currently sponsors, maintains or contributes
to, and is not required to contribute to, nor has ever sponsored, maintained or contributed to, and been required to contribute
to, or incurred any liability with respect to any “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA)
that is subject to Section 302 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA. No non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” within the
meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA, has occurred with respect to any Company Benefit Plan which could,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company. No material liability
under any Company Benefit Plan has been funded nor has any such obligation been satisfied with the purchase of a contract from
an insurance company as to which the Company has received notice that such insurance company is insolvent or is in rehabilitation
or any similar proceeding. No Company Benefit Plan is under audit or, to the knowledge of the Company, investigation by, or is
the subject of a proceeding with respect to, the IRS, the Department of Labor or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, and,
to the knowledge of the Company, no such audit, investigation or proceeding is threatened. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16,
with respect to each Company Benefit Plan which provides medical benefits, short-term disability benefits or long-term disability
benefits (other than any “pension plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA), all claims incurred by the Company
under such Company Benefit Plan are either insured pursuant to a contract of insurance whereby the insurance company bears any
risk of loss with respect to such claims or covered under a contract with a health maintenance organization pursuant to which such
health maintenance organization bears the liability for such claims. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16 hereto or disclosed in
the SEC Reports filed with the Commission prior to the date hereof, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or in conjunction with any other event such as termination
of employment) (i) result in, or cause any increase, acceleration or vesting of, any payment, benefit or award under any Company
Benefit Plan or Employment Agreement to any director or employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) give rise to any obligation
to fund for any such payments, awards or benefits, (iii) give rise to any limitation on the ability of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to amend or terminate any Company Benefit Plan, or (iv) result in any payment or benefit that will or may be made
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates that will be characterized as an “excess parachute payment,”
within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
or ERISA Affiliates has any liability to provide any post-retirement or post-termination life, health, medical or other welfare
benefits to any current or former employees or beneficiaries or dependents thereof which, individually or in the aggregate, is
material, except for health continuation coverage as required by Section 4980B of the Code or Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or applicable
state healthcare continuation coverage Laws which, individually or in the aggregate, is at no material expense to the Company and
its Subsidiaries. With respect to each Company Benefit Plan, there are no understandings, agreements or undertakings that would
prevent the Company from amending or terminating such Company Benefit Plan at any time without incurring material liability thereunder
other than in respect of accrued obligations and medical or welfare claims incurred prior to such amendment or termination.

bargaining).

Cap, it shall not be a breach or default by the Company under this Agreement of its obligations as set forth above.

144. The Company shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall
take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable

adequate current public information meeting the requirements of paragraph (c) of Rule 144.

the authorized amount of Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued and available for
issuance shall be insufficient to permit conversion of the Warrant.

shown above (the “Expiration Time”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:
This Warrant
is being issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December ___, 2015
(the “SPA”), by and between the Company and the Holder.
1. Definitions.
In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
given to such terms in the SPA.
2. Record
of Warrant Holders. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose
(the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the Holder or, as the case may
be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder from time to time). The Company may deem and
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution
to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Record
of Assignments; Restrictions on Assignment. The Company shall register any assignment of all or any portion of this Warrant
to an Affiliate or designee of the Holder in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment
attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or assignment,
a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of
this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a “New
Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so assigned shall be issued to the assignee and a New Warrant evidencing
the remaining portion of this Warrant not so assigned, if any, shall be issued to the assigning Holder. The acceptance of the New
Warrant by the assignee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such assignee of all of the rights and obligations in respect
of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant.
4. Exercise
and Duration of Warrant.
a. All
or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by Section 4 of this Warrant
at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date and through and including the Expiration Time. At the Expiration
Time, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value and this Warrant shall
be terminated and shall no longer be outstanding.
b. The
Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company: (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise
Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated by the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised.
The date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise
Date.” The Holder shall be required to deliver the original Warrant, or any New Warrant that may have been previously
issued, in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as
cancellation of the original Warrant, or any New Warrant that may have been previously issued, and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing
the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
c. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant pursuant
to the terms hereof.
5. Delivery
of Warrant Shares.
a.
Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after the Exercise
Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such
exercise. “Trading Day” shall mean a date on which the Company’s Common Stock trades on its principal
trading market (the “Trading Market”). The Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such
Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver,
or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”)
or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available; provided, that, the Company may, but will
not be required to, change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through
DTCC or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available. If as of the time of exercise the
Warrant Shares constitute restricted or control securities, the Holder, by exercising, agrees not to resell them except in compliance
with all applicable securities laws.
b. To
the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms
hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
any action or inaction by the Holder to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereto the recovery of any judgment against any Person or
any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach
by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or
any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder
in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies
available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
c.
If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates (or, if electronically,
a book-entry position) representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms hereof by the applicable delivery date, then the Holder
will have the right to rescind such exercise.
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of a certificate or the certificates (or, if electronically, a book-entry
position) representing the Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding
tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate or certificates (or,
if electronically, a book-entry position), all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of
any certificates for Warrant Shares or the Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for
all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise
hereof.
7. Replacement
of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof: or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity,
if requested. The Holder’s application for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and procedures, and the Holder shall pay such reasonable third-party costs, as the Company may prescribe. If a New
Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the
Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation
of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of
this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire
Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account
the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall,
upon issuance
and the payment of the applicable Exercise
Price in accordance with the terms hereof: be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
9. Certain
Adjustments to Exercise Price. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are
subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
a. Adjustments
for Stock Splits and Combinations and Stock Dividends. If the Company shall at any time, or from time to time after the date
hereof, effect a stock split or combination of the outstanding Common Stock or pay a stock dividend in shares of Common Stock,
then the Exercise Price shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustments under this Section 9(a) shall be effective at
the close of business on the date the stock split or combination becomes effective or the date of payment of the stock dividend,
as applicable.
b. Merger,
Sale, Reclassification, etc. In case of any: (i) consolidation or merger (including a merger in which the Company is the surviving
entity), (ii) sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or distribution of property
to shareholders (other than distributions payable out of earnings or retained earnings), or reclassification, change or conversion
of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities
of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the
date hereof: then and in each such case the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time thereafter shall be entitled
to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consolidation,
merger, sale or other disposition, reclassification, change, conversion or reorganization, the stock or other securities or property
to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior
thereto.
10. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu
of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied
by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported by the Trading Market on the Exercise Date.
11. Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall
be delivered in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.3 of the SPA.
12. Warrant
Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon thirty (30) calendar days’ notice to the Holder,
the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or
any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation
to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business
shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly
cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s
last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
13. Miscellaneous.
a. This
Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and
the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing
signed by the Company and the Holder, or their respective successors and permitted assigns.

of any Title as either inappropriate or otherwise objectionable or undesirable (whether for editorial, legal, business or other

(d) Licensor
will provide Licensee with reasonable assistance in responding to User inquiries regarding the Titles.
If, during the Term, Licensor develops or
obtains the rights to license any live action or animated feature-length motion picture (each an “Additional Title”),
Licensor shall give Licensee the first right of negotiation for each Additional Title (i.e., the preferred vendor). Licensor will
promptly provide written notice to Licensee in which Licensor lists each Additional Title. Should Licensee agree to be the vendor
for an Additional Title, Licensor and Licensee will negotiate in good faith to mutually agree upon the pricing and terms for each
Additional Title in an amendment to this Agreement. Licensor will deliver each Additional Title in accordance with Section 4(a).
Unless otherwise expressly stated in such an amendment, each Additional Title listed in such an amendment will be deemed a “Title”
and Schedule A will be deemed amended to include such Additional Title.
| 6. | Expansion of Licensee’s VOD Services. |

for which the license term specified in Schedule A extends beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Sections

| 8. | Privacy and Data Collection; Reports. |
(a) All
User information (including, without limitation, any personally identifiable information and statistical information regarding
Users’ use and viewing of the Titles) generated, collected or created in connection with the display of the Titles through
Licensee’s services shall be considered Confidential Information of Licensee, and all right, title and interest in and to

gather from time to time, subject to mutual approval. The Reports will be delivered in a format that is mutually agreed upon by

owed by Licensee under this Agreement. The consideration for the licenses granted by Licensor to Licensee under this Agreement

in connection with the use of the Titles as set forth in this Agreement. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensee’s
use of the Licensor Marks shall inure to the benefit of Licensor. Should Licensor find objectionable any use of the Licensor Marks
by Licensee, Licensor shall have the right to revoke, with respect to the objectionable use, the rights granted to Licensee under
this Agreement to use the Licensor Marks, and Licensee shall promptly cease using the Licensor Marks in the manner found objectionable
by Licensor.

(a) Confidential
Information. “Confidential Information” means all non-public information about the disclosing party’s business
or activities that is marked or designated by such party as “confidential” or “proprietary” at the time
of disclosure or that reasonably would be understood to be confidential given the circumstances of disclosure. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is in or enters the public domain without breach
of this Agreement; (b) the receiving party lawfully receives from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach
of a nondisclosure obligation; (c) the receiving party rightfully knew prior to receiving such information from the disclosing
party; or (d) the receiving party develops entirely independently of, and without any access or reference to or use of, any Confidential
Information communicated to the receiving party by the disclosing party.
(b) Restrictions.
Each party agrees that, during the Term and for two (2) years thereafter: (i) it will not disclose to any third party any Confidential
Information disclosed to it by the other party except as expressly permitted in this Agreement; (ii) it will only permit access
to Confidential Information of the disclosing party to those of its employees or authorized representatives or advisors (including,
without limitation, the receiving party’s auditors, accountants, and attorneys) having a need to know and who, prior to obtaining
such access, are legally bound to protect the disclosing party’s Confidential Information at least to the same extent as
set forth herein; (iii) it will use any Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party only for the purpose of performing
its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement and not for any other purpose, whether for such party’s own
benefit or the benefit of any third party; (iv) it will maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information of the other
party in its possession or control; and (v) that (x) upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, or (y) at
any time the disclosing party may so request, it will deliver promptly to the disclosing party, or, at the disclosing party’s
option, it will destroy, all Confidential Information of the disclosing party that it may then possess or have under its control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose Confidential Information of the other party to the extent required by a
court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority or otherwise as required by law, provided that such party will,
as soon as reasonably practicable, provide the disclosing party with written notice of such requirement so that the disclosing
party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.
The receiving party and its representatives will cooperate fully with the disclosing party to obtain any such protective order
or other remedy. If the disclosing party elects not to seek, or is unsuccessful in obtaining, any such protective order or similar
remedy and if the receiving party receives advice from reputable legal counsel confirming that the disclosure of Confidential Information
is required pursuant to applicable law, then the receiving party may disclose such Confidential Information to the extent required;
provided, however, that the receiving party will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Confidential Information
is treated confidentially by each party to which it is disclosed.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN SECTION 12,
THE PARTIES HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONCERNING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT.
| 16. | Limitation of Liability. |
EXCEPT FOR THE ABOVE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS
AND FOR BREACHES OF SECTION 14, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS), WHETHER IN AN ACTION OR ARISING OUT OF
BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
(a) Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles.
(b) Dispute
Resolution. Any dispute, controversy and/or difference which may arise out of or in connection with or in relation to this
Agreement, shall be solely and finally settled by binding arbitration pursuant to then-current rules of the International Chamber
of Commerce. Such arbitration shall be held in New York, New York. The merits of the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its choice of law rules. The tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators,
each of whom shall be knowledgeable in the subject matter hereof. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, and
all documents shall be submitted in English or be accompanied by a certified English translation. The arbitrators will provide
a written explanation to the parties of any arbitration award. The award thereof shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto,
and judgment on such award may be entered in any court or tribunal having jurisdiction, and the parties hereby irrevocably waive
any objection to the jurisdiction of such courts based on any ground,
including without limitation, improper venue or forum non conveniens.
The parties and the arbitration panel shall be bound to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement, the dispute and any award,
except to the extent necessary to enforce any such award. The prevailing party, if a party is so designated in the arbitration
award, shall be entitled to recover from the other party its costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, associated with such
arbitration. By agreeing to this binding arbitration provision, the parties understand that they are waiving certain rights and
protections which may otherwise be available if a dispute between the parties were determined by litigation in court, including,
without limitation, the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this arbitration provision, the right to
a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, and a right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, each party shall be entitled, at any time, without first resorting to the dispute resolution process set
forth above, to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, wherever such party deems appropriate,
in order to preserve or enforce such party’s rights hereunder.
(c) Non-Exclusivity.
Nothing in this Agreement limits or restricts Licensee from entering into any similar agreements with any third party.
(d) Severability.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise
illegal, such provision shall be deemed restated, in accordance with applicable law, to reflect as nearly as possible the original
intentions of the parties, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
(e) Waiver.
No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, and no breach shall be deemed excused, unless such waiver or excuse
is in writing and is executed by the party against whom such waiver or excuse is claimed.
(f) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with regard to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral or written agreements and representations with respect to such subject
matter. This Agreement may be modified or amended only in a writing signed by all parties.

Trial Waiver. THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO ANY CONTRACTUAL, TORTIOUS,
OR STATUTORY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, OR CROSS-CLAIM AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT, BECAUSE
THE PARTIES HERETO, BOTH OF WHOM ARE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL, BELIEVE THAT THE COMPLEX COMMERCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL ASPECTS OF THEIR
DEALINGS WITH ONE ANOTHER MAKE A JURY DETERMINATION NEITHER DESIRABLE NOR APPROPRIATE.
(h) Assignment.
Neither party may assign its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement to any third party in whole or in part, without
the other party’s prior written consent, except that (i) Licensee may assign its rights and obligations to this Agreement

and obligations in this Agreement to its Affiliates or subsidiaries and either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety

to the benefit of, the respective permitted assignees, transferees and successors of each of the parties.
(i) No
Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties acknowledge and agree that there are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
(j) Interpretation.
In interpreting the terms and conditions of this Agreement, no presumption shall be interpreted for or against a party as a result
of the role of such party in the drafting of this Agreement. Sections headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to

(b) Procedures
for Determining Satisfaction of Earn-Out Thresholds.
(i) On
or before the date which is thirty (30) days following the end of each Earn-Out Year (the “Earn-Out Calculation Delivery
Date”), Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Earn-Out Calculation Statement”),
to be reviewed and approved by the Buyer’s Board of Directors, setting forth in reasonable detail its determination of the
number of Homes/Users Passed (as determined and calculated pursuant to and as set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto) and
the Business Net Income for the Earn-Out Year for which such Earn-Out Calculation Statement has been prepared (the “Earn-Out
Calculations”). Buyer shall provide any and all reasonable assistance to Seller in preparing the calculations.
(ii) Buyer
shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Earn-Out Calculation Statement (the “Review Period”) to review
the Earn-Out Calculation Statement and the Earn-Out Calculations set forth therein. Unless Buyer delivers written notice to Seller
setting forth the specific items disputed by Buyer on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of the Earn-Out Calculation
Statement (delivered in accordance with Section 11.2), Buyer will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Earn-Out
Calculation Statement and such Earn-Out Calculation Statement (and the calculations contained therein) will be final, binding and
conclusive. During the Review Period, Buyer and its accountants and representatives shall have the right to inspect the applicable
books and records of the Company and Seller during normal business hours at the Company’s or Seller’s offices, as applicable,
upon reasonable prior notice and for purposes related to the determinations of number of Homes/Users Passed and the Business Net
Income. Prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer may object to the Earn-Out Calculations set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation
Statement by delivering a written notice of objection (an “Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice”) to Seller.
The Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice shall specify the items in the applicable Earn-Out Calculation disputed by Buyer and
shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, as well as the amount in dispute. Buyer and Seller shall negotiate
in good faith to resolve the disputed items and agree upon the resulting number of Homes/Users Passed and the Business Net Income.
(iii) If
Buyer and Seller are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after such an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice has
been given, all unresolved disputed items (the “Earn-Out Disputed Items”) shall be promptly referred to an international
independent accounting firm of recognized standing mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Neutral Arbitrator”).
The Neutral Arbitrator shall act as an arbitrator to determine only the Earn-Out Disputed Items and shall be directed to render
a written report (such written report to include a work sheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such
determination and to be based solely on information provided to the Neutral Arbitrator by Buyer and Seller) on the unresolved Earn-Out
Disputed Items with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Calculation as promptly as practicable, but in no event greater than thirty
(30) days after such submission to the Neutral Arbitrator and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the
Earn Out Calculation Objection Notice. If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator, Buyer and Seller shall
each furnish to the Neutral Arbitrator such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved
disputed items as the Neutral Arbitrator may reasonably request. If any Party fails to submit a supporting brief regarding any
Earn-Out Disputed Item submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator within the time set forth above or otherwise fails to give the Neutral
Arbitrator access as reasonably requested, then
the Neutral Arbitrator shall render a decision
based solely on the evidence timely submitted and the access afforded to the Neutral Arbitrator by Buyer and Seller. The Neutral
Arbitrator shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the
presentations by Buyer and Seller, and not by independent review. In resolving each Earn-Out Disputed Item, the Neutral Arbitrator
may not assign a value to any Earn-Out Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such Earn-Out Disputed Item claimed by
any Party or less than the lowest value for such Earn-Out Disputed Item claimed by any Party. The resolution of the dispute and
the calculations of the number of Homes/Users Passed and the Business Net Income shall be final and binding on the Parties absent
manifest error. All fees and expenses of the Neutral Arbitrator in connection with its work on the disputed items as described
in this Section 2.3(b)(iii) shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in the same
proportion that the aggregate amount of such disputed items so submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator that is unsuccessfully disputed
by each such Party (as finally determined by the Neutral Arbitrator) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted.
(c) Issuance
of Earn-Out Share Award. No later than thirty (30) days following the final determination of the Earn-Out Calculations pursuant
to Section 2.3(b) for any Earn-Out Year, if either of the Earn-Out Homes/Users Passed Threshold or the Earn-Out Net Income
Threshold has been satisfied for the applicable Earn-Out Year, Buyer shall issue to Seller, or an account or Affiliate designated
by Seller, an Earn-Out Share Award.
(d) Control
of the Company Post-Closing. Seller acknowledges that, after the Closing, Buyer, directly or indirectly through an Affiliate,
will own and control the Shares and that, after the Closing, Buyer may vote the Shares in such manner as it determines to be in
its best interest in connection with the operation of the Company and the Business; provided, however, that Buyer
shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action with the intent of (i) materially and negatively impacting the Business, the
number of Homes/Users Passed, or the Business Net Income, or (ii) avoiding or reducing an Earn-Out Share Award.
(e) Offset.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the issuance of each Earn-Out Share Aware is subject to Buyer’s offset and
reduction rights set forth in Article VIII.
2.4 Withholding.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and each of its Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold,
or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Buyer or any of its
Affiliates reasonably determines is required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of any such payment under
any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted
and withheld amounts are to be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which
such deduction and withholding was made. To the extent Buyer or any of its Affiliates deducts and withholds or causes to be deducted
and withheld any such amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer and any such Affiliate, as the case may be, shall remit
(or cause to be remitted) to the appropriate Taxing Authority all such amounts deducted and withheld or caused to be deducted

whether in the form of disbursements of the Company or requests for reimbursements, that would allow for the accurate description
of any payments that are made to a government official and has not taken any steps to hide any transactions that would violate

Article
VII
POST-CLOSING MATTERS
7.1 Transfer
Taxes. Seller shall pay all transfer, real property transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, duty, recording and similar Taxes
(including any penalties, interest and additions to Tax) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (together,
“Transfer Taxes”). Buyer shall be responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns or other applicable documents
in connection with all Transfer Taxes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provided, however, that Seller and the Company
shall cooperate with Buyer in the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns or other applicable documents for or with respect to
Transfer Taxes, including timely signing and delivering such Tax Returns, documents, and certificates as may be necessary or appropriate
to file such Tax Returns or establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, “Transfer Taxes” shall not include any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld with
respect to payments made by Buyer to Seller (under the Code or Treasury Regulations thereunder or any applicable provision of state,
local or foreign Law) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any P.R.C. withholding Taxes).
7.2 Conduct
of Business with Respect to Taxes. During the Pre-Closing Period:
(a) The
Company shall not, and Seller shall cause the Company not to, make, revoke or amend any Tax election; change any annual accounting
period; adopt or change any method of accounting or reverse any accruals (except as required by a change in Law or P.R.C. GAAP);
file any amended Tax Returns; sign or enter into any closing agreement or settlement agreement with respect to any, or compromise
any, Claim or assessment of any Tax liability; surrender any right to claim a refund, offset or other reduction in liability; consent
to any extension or waiver of the limitations period applicable to any Claim or assessment, in each case, with respect to Taxes;
or act or omit to act where such action or omission to act could reasonably be expected to have the effect of increasing any present
or future Tax liability or decreasing any present or future Tax benefit for the Company, Buyer or its Affiliates; and
(b) The
Company shall, and Seller shall cause the Company to: (i) timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by it and all such Tax
Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice and that is reasonably acceptable to Buyer; (ii) timely pay
all Taxes due and payable; and (iii) promptly notify Buyer of any income, franchise or similar (or other material) Tax Claim, investigation
or audit pending against or with respect to the Company in respect of any Tax matters (or any significant developments with respect
to ongoing Tax matters), including material Tax liabilities and material Tax refund claims.
7.3 Cooperation
on Tax Matters. Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees,
agents, auditors and representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns of the Company relating to
any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in
connection with Taxes of the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, and in resolving all disputes and
audits with respect to all such Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods in accordance with Section 7.7. Buyer recognizes
that Seller may need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information held
by the Company to the extent such records and information pertain to events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date; therefore,
Buyer agrees that from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, retain and maintain such records
and information until the later of: (a) six (6) years following the Closing Date; and (b) the applicable statute of limitations
with respect to the Tax for which such records or information relate, and allow Seller to inspect, review and make copies of such
records and information as Seller reasonably requests from time to time during normal business hours and after appropriate prior
notification. Subject to Section 7.7, Buyer will not file, and will cause the Company not to file, any amended Tax Return,
Tax election or change in accounting method, in each case, for any Pre-Closing Period of the Company which would cause an increase
in Taxes of the Company for any period for which Seller is liable for the payment of Taxes.
7.4 Preparation
and Filing of Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns for the Company. Seller shall, at the cost and expense of Seller, prepare, or
cause to be prepared all Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of the Company. All such Pre-Closing
Period Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent with the prior practice of the Company, except as
required by applicable Law. Drafts of all such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns shall be delivered to Buyer for its review and approval
at least thirty (30)
days prior to the Due
Date of any such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return; provided, however, that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. If Buyer disputes any item on such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, it shall notify Seller (by written notice within
fifteen (15) days of receipt of such draft of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return) of such disputed item (or items) and the basis
for its objection. If Buyer does not object by written notice within such period, the amount of Taxes shown to be due and payable
on such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return shall be deemed to be accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes of
this Section 7.4. Buyer and Seller shall act in good faith to resolve any dispute prior to the Due Date of any such Pre-Closing
Period Tax Return. If Buyer and Seller cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by Neutral Arbitrator
as promptly as practicable (in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4), whose determination shall be final
and conclusive for purposes of this Section 7.4. The Neutral Arbitrator shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort
to complete their services within thirty (30) days after submission of the dispute to them and in any case, as soon as practicable
after such submission. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Arbitrator in connection with its work pursuant to this Section
7.4 shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate
amount of the disputed item(s) so submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally
determined by the Neutral Arbitrator) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted. Seller shall timely file
all such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns; provided, however, if any such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return is filed after
the Closing and Seller is not authorized to execute and file such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return by applicable Law, Buyer shall
execute and file (or cause to be filed) such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return (as finally determined pursuant to this Section
7.4) with the appropriate Taxing Authority. Seller shall pay all Pre-Closing Taxes due and payable in respect of all Pre-Closing
Period Tax Returns of the Company; provided, however, that if any Pre-Closing Period Tax Return is due after the
Closing and is to be filed (or caused to be filed) by Buyer, Seller shall pay (in immediately available funds) to Buyer the amount
of all Pre-Closing Taxes due and payable with respect of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return (determined pursuant to this Section
7.4) no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the earlier of the date such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return is filed or
the Due Date of such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, and Buyer shall timely pay the amount of such Pre-Closing Taxes reflected
on such Tax Return, provided further, however, that if Seller has disputed any item on such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return or the
determination of the Pre-Closing Taxes in accordance with this Section 7.4 and such dispute has not yet been resolved,
Seller shall be obligated at such time to pay only so much of such Pre-Closing Taxes as are not in dispute, and upon the resolution
of such dispute, Seller shall promptly pay (in immediately available funds) to Buyer any further amount owing in accordance with
this Section 7.4. Amounts required to be paid by Seller pursuant to this Section 7.4 that are not paid on or prior
to the date specified herein shall accrue interest at the simple rate of 8% per annum until paid in full. In the event that such
Pre-Closing Period Tax Return reflects any refund, the provisions of Section 7.8 (Tax Refunds) shall control.
7.5 Preparation
and Filing of Straddle Period Tax Returns for the Company. Buyer shall, at its expense, prepare and timely file, or cause to
be prepared and timely filed, all Straddle Period Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company. All Straddle Period Tax Returns
shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent with the prior practice of the Company, except as required by applicable
Law. Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered drafts of all Straddle Period Tax Returns to Seller for its review and approval
at least thirty (30) days prior to
the Due Date of any such
Straddle Period Tax Return and shall notify Seller of Buyer’s calculation of Seller’s share of the Taxes of the Company
for such Straddle Period (determined in accordance with Section 7.6); provided, however, that such approval by Seller of
any such Straddle Period Tax Returns and such calculations of Seller’s share of the Tax liability for such Straddle Period
(determined in accordance with Section 7.6) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Seller disputes
any item on such Straddle Period Tax Return, it shall notify Buyer (by written notice within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such
Straddle Period Tax Return and calculation) of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection. If Seller does not
object by written notice within such period, such draft of such Straddle Period Tax Return and calculation of Seller’s share
of the Taxes for such Straddle Period shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for purposes
of this Section 7.5. Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the Due Date of
such Straddle Period Tax Return. If Buyer and Seller cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved
by the Neutral Arbitrator as promptly as practicable (in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.5), whose determination
shall be final and conclusive for purposes of this Section 7.5. The Neutral Arbitrator shall be instructed to use every
reasonable effort to complete their services within thirty (30) days after submission of the dispute to them and in any case,
as soon as practicable after such submission. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Arbitrator in connection with its work pursuant
to this Section 7.5 shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in the same proportion
that the aggregate amount of the disputed item(s) so submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator that is unsuccessfully disputed by each
such Party (as finally determined by the Neutral Arbitrator) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted. No
later than three (3) Business Days prior to the earlier of the date a Straddle Period Tax Return of the Company is filed or the
Due Date of such Straddle Period Tax Return, Seller shall pay (in immediately available funds) to Buyer the amount of all Pre-Closing
Taxes required to be paid with respect to such Straddle Period Tax Return (determined pursuant to this Section 7.5); provided,
however, that if Seller has disputed any item on such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return or the determination of the Pre-Closing Taxes
in accordance with this Section 7.5 and such dispute has not yet been resolved, Seller shall be obligated at such time to pay
only so much of such Pre-Closing Taxes as are not in dispute, and upon the resolution of such dispute, Seller shall promptly pay
(in immediately available funds) to Buyer any further amount owing in accordance with this Section 7.5. Amounts required
to be paid by Sellers to Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.5 that are not paid on or prior to the date specified herein
shall accrue interest at the simple rate of 8% per annum until paid in full. In the event that such Straddle Period Tax Return
reflects any refund, the provisions of Section 7.8 (Refunds) shall control.
7.6 Computation
of Tax Liabilities. To the extent permitted or required, the taxable year of the Company that includes the Closing Date shall
close as of the end of the Closing Date. Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes for a Straddle Period relating
to:
(a) Taxes
not described in Section 7.6(b) (e.g., Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, such as real property and other ad valorem Taxes),
the determination of Taxes of the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall
be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire
Straddle Period; and
(b) (i)
Taxes based on the income or receipts for a Straddle Period, (ii) Taxes imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or
assignment of property (including all sales and use Taxes) for a Straddle Period, and (iii) withholding Taxes relating to a Straddle
Period, the determination of the Taxes of the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion
of the Straddle Period beginning and ending after, the Closing Date shall be calculated by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted
of two (2) taxable periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the
day following the Closing Date and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of the Company for the Straddle Period shall
be allocated between such two (2) taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books
of the Company were closed at the close of the Closing Date; provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions
that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) will be allocated
between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each
such period.
7.7 Tax
Contests.
(a) Buyer
shall deliver a written notice to Seller promptly following any demand, Claim, or notice of commencement of a Claim, proposed adjustment,
assessment, audit, examination or other administrative or court Proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company for which Seller
may be liable (“Tax Contest”) and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by Buyer) the facts
constituting the basis for such Tax Contest, the nature of the relief sought, and the amount of the claimed Losses (including Taxes),
if any (the “Tax Claim Notice”), provided, however, that the failure or delay to so notify Seller
shall not relieve Seller of any obligation or liability that Seller may have to Buyer, except to the extent that Seller demonstrates
that Seller is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby.
(b) With
respect to Tax Contests for Taxes of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller may elect to assume and control the defense
of such Tax Contest by written notice to Buyer within thirty (30) days after delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Tax Claim Notice.
If Seller elects to assume and control the defense of such Tax Contest, Seller: (i) shall bear its own costs and expenses; (ii)
shall be entitled to engage its own counsel; and (iii) may (A) pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, Proceedings,
hearings and conferences with any Taxing Authority, (B) either pay the Tax claimed or sue for refund where applicable Law permits
such refund suit, or (C) contest, settle or compromise the Tax Contest in any permissible manner; provided, however,
that Seller shall not settle or compromise (or take other actions described herein with respect to) any Tax Contest without the
prior written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, further,
that Seller shall not settle or compromise (or take other actions described herein with respect to) any Tax Contest without the
prior written consent of Buyer (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Buyer) if such settlement or compromise
would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax liability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company) for
any Tax period ending after the Closing Date. If Seller elects to assume the defense of any Tax Contest, Seller shall: (x) keep
Buyer reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Contest (including promptly forwarding copies
to Buyer of any related correspondence, and shall provide Buyer with an opportunity to review and comment on any material correspondence
before Seller sends such correspondence to any Taxing Authority); (y) consult with Buyer in
connection with the defense or prosecution
of any such Tax Contest; and (z) provide such cooperation and information as Buyer shall reasonably request, and Buyer shall have
the right, at its expense, to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Tax Contest (including participating in any
discussions with the applicable Tax Authorities regarding such Tax Contests).
(c) In
connection with any Tax Contest that relates to Taxes of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period that: (i) Seller does not timely
elect to control pursuant to Section 7.7(b); or (ii) Seller fails to diligently defend, such Tax Contest shall be controlled
by Buyer (and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer relating to a Tax Contest described
in this Section 7.7(c)) and Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in pursuing such Tax Contest. In connection with any Tax
Contest that is described in this Section 7.7(c) and controlled by Buyer, Buyer shall: (x) keep Seller informed of all material
developments and events relating to such Tax Contest (including promptly forwarding copies to Seller of any related correspondence
and shall provide Seller with an opportunity to review and comment on any material correspondence before Buyer sends such correspondence
to any Taxing Authority); (y) consult with Seller in connection with the defense or prosecution of any such Tax Contest; and (z)
provide such cooperation and information as Seller shall reasonably request, and, at his own cost and expense, Seller shall have
the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Tax Contest (including participating in any discussions with
the applicable Tax Authorities regarding such Tax Contests).
(d) In
connection with any Tax Contest for Taxes of the Company for any Straddle Period, such Tax Contest shall be controlled by Buyer;
provided, that Buyer shall not settle or compromise (or take such other actions described herein with respect to) any Tax
Contest without the prior written consent of Seller, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Buyer shall: (x) keep Seller informed of all material developments and events relating to such Tax Contest (including promptly
forwarding copies to Seller of any related correspondence and shall provide Seller with an opportunity to review and comment on
any material correspondence before Buyer sends such correspondence to any Taxing Authority); (y) consult with Seller in connection
with the defense or prosecution of any such Tax Contest; and (z) provide such cooperation and information as Seller shall reasonably
request, and, at its own cost and expense, Seller shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of such
Tax Contest (including participating in any discussions with the applicable Tax Authorities regarding such Tax Contests).
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the procedures for all Tax Contests shall be governed exclusively by this
Section 7.7 (and not Section 8.3).
7.8 Tax
Refunds. Buyer may, at its option, cause the Company to elect, where permitted by applicable Law, to carry forward or carry
back any Tax attribute carryover that would, absent such election, be carried back to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period.
Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of and pay (or cause to be paid) to Seller: (a) any refund of Taxes paid by the Company for
any Pre-Closing Tax Period actually received by the Company; or (b) a portion of any refund of Taxes paid by the Company for any
Straddle Period (such portion to be allocated consistent with the principles set forth in Section 7.8 hereof) actually
received by the Company, in each case,
net of any Tax liabilities or increase in Tax liabilities imposed on Buyer or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) resulting
from such refund; provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to any refund to the extent such refund relates
to a carryback of a Tax attribute from any period ending after the Closing Date. Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) the amounts
described in the second sentence of this Section 7.8 within thirty (30) days after the actual receipt of the Tax refund
giving rise to Buyer’s obligation to make payment hereunder with respect thereto. At the request of Seller, Buyer shall reasonably
cooperate with Seller in obtaining any such refunds for which Seller is entitled pursuant to this Section 7.8, including
through the filing of amended Tax Returns or refund claims as prepared by Seller, at the expense of Seller; provided, however,
that any such amended Tax Return shall be prepared by Seller, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered drafts of any such
amended Tax Return to Buyer for its review prior to the time such amended Tax Return may be filed and any such amended Tax Return
shall be subject to the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and provided,
further, that Buyer shall not be required to cooperate with Seller in obtaining such refunds (or, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, consent to the filing of such amended Tax Return) if such refund could reasonably be expected to adversely
affect Buyer or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) in any Straddle Period or Post-Closing Period.
7.9 Adjustments
to Purchase Price in Connection With Taxes. Buyer and Seller agree to treat any amounts payable after the Closing by Seller
to Buyer (or by Buyer to Seller) pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless a final determination
by the appropriate Taxing Authority or court causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for
Tax purposes.
7.10 Payments
in Connection with Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to this Article
VII), payment by Seller of any amount due related or attributable to Taxes or Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement shall
be made within five (5) Business Days following written notice by Buyer that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Taxing
Authority is due (or, in connection with this Agreement, is required to be paid by Seller to Buyer or are the responsibility of
Seller in whole or in part); provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to make any payment earlier than
three (3) Business Days before it is due (without regard to any extensions for filing the applicable Tax Return) to the appropriate
Taxing Authority. Amounts required to be paid by Seller for Taxes, or otherwise, that are not paid on or prior to the date specified
herein shall accrue interest at the simple rate of 8% per annum until paid in full.

hereby acknowledges that (i) in addition to disposing of Seller’s ownership interest in the Shares as set forth in this Agreement,
Seller is selling all the goodwill of the Company associated with or attributable to the Shares, (ii) Seller has contributed to
the development of the goodwill of the Company, and (iii) the Parties have agreed upon the Purchase Price to specifically include
and reflect such sale of goodwill. In consideration of the sale of Seller’s ownership in the Shares, including the sale of
all goodwill, Seller agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall cause its affiliates where Seller owns
more than a 51% controlling interest in, not to, without the express written consent of Buyer, anywhere
within mainland China, compete directly
with the products or services sold or offered by the Company. Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth above, nothing herein
shall prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from making investments in the ordinary course of business in the securities of
any Person that are listed on any national stock exchange or NASDAQ.
7.12 Non-Solicitation.
Seller agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly,
(i) solicit any employee of the Company or any of its controlled Affiliates for employment, or solicit, suggest, induce or encourage

Company or its Affiliates, or (ii) solicit, induce or attempt to induce any customer, consultant, independent contractor, vendor,
supplier, or partner of the Company or any of its controlled Affiliates to terminate, diminish, or materially alter in a manner
harmful to the Company or any of its controlled Affiliates its relationship or their relationships with the Company or any of its
controlled Affiliates.
7.13 Further
Assurances. From and after the Closing, as and when required by any Party, each Party will execute and deliver, or cause to
be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, at the requesting Party’s
expense, all such further or other actions, as such other Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions.

the Company following the Closing) or the businesses of any of the foregoing (including the financial information, technical information
or data relating to the Company’s products and services and the names of customers of the Company, as well as filings and
testimony (if any) presented in the course of any proceeding pursuant to Article X and any award and the tribunal’s reasons
therefor relating to the same) (such knowledge, information or documents, “Proprietary Information”); provided,

other than through improper disclosure by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller, or (b) is lawfully acquired by Seller or an Affiliate
of Seller from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual
or fiduciary obligation. Seller and its Affiliates may disclose Proprietary Information as requested or required by (y) any applicable

(d) any
Company Transaction Costs that are not paid in full prior to the Closing.

on Liability.
(a) Survival.
The representations and warranties contained in Article IV of this Agreement shall survive the Closing for the twenty-four
(24) month period following the Closing (the “Survival Period”), provided, however, that (i) the
Fundamental Representations shall survive and continue indefinitely, (ii) no such limitation will apply in the event that the applicable
breach is the result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation and (iii) if written notice of a Claim for Losses based upon breach

representation(s) and/or warranty(ies) shall survive as to such Claim until such Claim has been fully resolved. The Parties hereto
specifically and unambiguously intend that the survival periods that are set forth in this Section 8.2(a) (other than with
respect to clause (i) above), for the representations and warranties contained herein shall replace any statute of limitations
for such representations or warranties that would otherwise be applicable. Any covenant or agreement contained herein to be performed

event of a termination of this Agreement, or if the Closing does not otherwise occur, the Parties reserve all rights and remedies
as a result of any breach of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
8.3 Third
Party Claims.
(a) In
the event that any Third Party Claim is asserted or commenced against a Indemnitee with respect to which such Indemnitee is entitled
to indemnification under this Section 8.3, the Indemnitee shall: (A) promptly notify Seller of its existence, setting forth
in writing with reasonable specificity the facts and circumstances of which such Indemnitee received notice; and (B) specify the
basis hereunder upon which the Indemnitee’s Claim for indemnification is asserted.
(b) Except
as herein provided, the Indemnitee shall not, and Seller shall, have the right to contest, defend, litigate or settle such Third
Party Claim, if the defense of a Third Party Claim is so tendered and within thirty (30) days thereafter Seller accepts such tender
and acknowledges in writing without qualification its indemnification obligation hereunder, subject only to the limitations on
indemnification set forth in this Agreement, including Section 8.2. The Indemnitee shall have the right to be represented
by counsel at its own expense in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnitor. Seller shall
lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim if it shall fail to diligently contest the Third Party
Claim. So long as Seller has not lost its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle as herein provided, Seller shall have the
right to contest, defend and litigate the Third Party Claim and shall have the right to enter into any settlement of any Third
Party Claim; provided, that such settlement includes an unconditional written release from all liability in respect of such Third
Party Claim; provided, further, that Seller may not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Indemnitee if pursuant to or as a result
of such settlement: (A) injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnitee; (B) such settlement would
or could reasonably be expected to lead to any liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnitee;
or (C) such settlement would adversely affect the conduct of the Business. Seller shall not be entitled to assume control of a
Third Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee if: (X) the Third Party
Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment or allegation; (Y) the Third Party Claim
seeks injunctive or other equitable relief, or Buyer reasonably believes that the Third Party Claim, if adversely determined, would
impair in any respect the financial condition, business, operations, reputation or prospects of Buyer, the Indemnitee, or the Company;
or (Z) the interests of the Indemnitee in the Third Party Claim is or can reasonably be expected to be adverse to the interests
of Seller. If the Indemnitee has
assumed control of the defense of a Third
Party Claim pursuant to the foregoing sentence, it shall not agree to any settlement without the consent of Seller (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that Seller has acknowledged in writing without qualification
its indemnification obligation hereunder, subject only to the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Agreement, including
Section 8.2. Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in Section 8.2, all expenses (including attorneys’
fees) incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by Seller. If an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
against a Third Party Claim, and Seller fails to accept a tender of the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section
8.3(b), or if, in accordance with the foregoing, Seller shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle such a
Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right, without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion
exercised in reasonable good faith and upon the advice of counsel, to contest, defend and litigate such Third Party Claim, and
may settle such Third Party Claim, either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the
Indemnitee deems fair and reasonable. If, pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Indemnitee so contests, defends, litigates or
settles a Third Party Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be reimbursed by Seller
for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of contesting, defending, litigating and settling the Third Party Claim
which are incurred from time to time, promptly following the presentation to Seller of itemized bills for such attorneys’
fees and other expenses, subject, however, to any applicable limitations set forth in Section 8.2. Seller and any Indemnitee
shall reasonably cooperate with one another in the contest, defense or litigation of any Third Party Claim.

Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnitee giving the Seller written notice thereof. Such notice by the Indemnitee shall

the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. Seller shall
have fifteen (15) days after Seller’s receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such fifteen
(15)-day period, the Indemnitee shall allow Seller and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged
to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnitee
shall assist Seller’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises
and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as Seller or any of its professional advisors
may reasonably request. If Seller does not so respond within such fifteen (15)-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have acknowledged
and agreed that the applicable Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of such Direct Claim.
8.5 Satisfaction
of Indemnification Claims. If Seller shall acknowledge and agree in writing, or it is finally determined pursuant to the dispute
resolution procedures set forth in Article X hereof, that an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect
of Losses incurred by such Indemnitee (the date of such acknowledgement and agreement or
determination, the “Claim Determination
Date”), Seller shall make payment in respect of such Losses within five (5) days following the Claim Determination Date
by delivering to such Indemnitee that number of shares of Buyer Stock equal in value to the amount of the Losses to be indemnified
hereunder. At the option of Buyer, the indemnifiable Losses of any Indemnitee may be satisfied by Buyer withholding from any future
Earn-Out Share Award to which Seller is entitled that number of Earn-Out Shares equal in value to the amount of the indemnifiable
Losses of such Indemnitee. For purposes of calculating the number of shares of Buyer Stock necessary to satisfy the Losses of an
Indemnitee as described in this Section 8.5, each share of Buyer Stock shall be valued using the Applicable Stock Price.
8.6 Treatment
of Indemnification Payments. For all purposes hereunder, any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VIII
