Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

This statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates to the Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Kaixin Auto Holdings, a Cayman Islands corporation (the “Issuer”) whose principal executive offices are located at 5/F, North Wing, 18 Jiuxianqiao Middle Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100016, People’s Republic of China.

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

The Schedule 13D is being filed by Renren Inc. (“Renren”), a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

Renren operates a used car business and SaaS business.

The business address and principal office of Renren is 5/F, North Wing, 18 Jiuxianqiao Middle Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100016, People’s Republic of China.

During the last five years, Renren has not been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

During the last five years, Renren was not a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which it was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement dated November 2, 2018, by and among Renren, the Issuer (at that time known as CM Seven Star Acquisition Corporation), and Kaixin Auto Group, at that time a wholly-owned subsidiary of Renren, Renren acquired shares of the Issuer in exchange for the Issuer acquiring 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Kaixin Auto Group. Therefore, the shares of Kaixin Auto Group were the consideration for the shares of the Issuer acquired by Renren.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The acquisition of the shares of the Issuer by Renren was part of an integrated series of transactions whereby the used automobile business of Renren became listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and obtained additional capital for expansion.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Issuer has issued 19,500,000 ordinary shares (the “Earnout Shares”), which are being held in escrow pending determination of whether Renren will be entitled to receive them. Renren is entitled to receive Earnout Shares as follows:

(1)

if the Issuer’s gross revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 is greater than or equal to RMB5,000,000,000, Renren is entitled to receive 1,950,000 ordinary shares of the Issuer;

(2)

if the Issuer’s adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2019 is greater than or equal to RMB150,000,000, Renren is entitled to receive 3,900,000 ordinary shares of the Issuer, increasing proportionally to 7,800,000 ordinary shares if Issuer’s adjusted EBITDA is greater than or equal to RMB200,000,000; and

(3)

if the Issuer’s adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2020 is greater than or equal to RMB340,000,000, Renren is entitled to receive 4,875,000 ordinary shares of the Issuer, increasing proportionally to 9,750,000 ordinary shares if the Issuer’s adjusted EBITDA is greater than or equal to RMB480,000,000.

Notwithstanding the above, Renren will receive the 2019 Earnout Shares if the stock price of the Issuer is higher than $13.00 for any sixty days in any period of ninety consecutive trading days during an fifteen month period following April 30, 2019, and will receive the 2019 Earnout Shares and the 2020 Earnout Shares if the stock price of the Issuer is higher than $13.50 for any sixty days in any period of ninety consecutive trading days during a thirty month period following April 30, 2019.

Any Earnout Shares not received by Renren will be cancelled by the Issuer.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Issuer has also issued an additional 3,300,000 ordinary shares (the “Indemnity Shares”) which are being held in escrow pending determination of whether any claim is asserted against Renren under the Share Exchange Agreement. If any claim is asserted successfully, the appropriate number of Indemnity Shares will be transferred to the party asserting the claim. If no claims are asserted and outstanding against Renren on April 30, 2021, the Indemnity Shares will be transferred to Renren within five business days.

Renren has the right under the escrow agreement to vote the Earnout Shares and Indemnity Shares while they are held in escrow.

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement dated as of April 30, 2019, between the Issuer (then known as CM Seven Star Acquisition Corporation), Shareholder Value Fund and Renren, filed as exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D, Renren has the right to appoint a majority of the members of the Issuer’s board of directors, including four members if the Issuer should be a foreign private issuer and six members if it should not be. Renren has also agreed that Shareholder Value Fund has the right to appoint one member to the Issuer’s board of directors.

Other than as described in this Item 4, Renren does not have any current plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; however, Renren may change its purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, Renren beneficially owns 47,784,300 ordinary shares of the Issuer, representing 77.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer. The Issuer has informed Renren that it has 61,352,859 ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this Schedule 13D, which amount includes the Earnout Shares and the Indemnity Shares.

(b)	Renren has sole power to vote 47,784,300 ordinary shares of the Issuer and sole power to dispose of the 24,984,300 ordinary shares of the Issuer, subject to certain restrictions in the Investor Rights Agreement described further below.

Renren has agreed in the Investor Rights Agreement to vote its ordinary shares to ensure that Shareholder Value Fund has one nominee on the board of directors of the Issuer. Renren has also agreed in the Investor Rights Agreement not to propose or vote for any amendment to the Issuer’s equity incentive plan which would have the effect of increasing the number of ordinary shares issuable pursuant to such plan or any additional equity incentive plan. In addition, Renren has agreed in the Investor Rights Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of any shares of the Issuer for a period of 180 days from April 30, 2019.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to Sections 10.3 and 10.6 and the other provisions of this ARTICLE X, from and after the Closing Date, the Indemnifying Party hereby, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, each of its Affiliates and each of its and their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, agents, successors and permitted assignees (the “Indemnified Party”), against and in respect of any and all losses, payments, interest, demands, penalties, forfeitures, costs, expenses, Actions, Liabilities, Taxes, Liens, judgments, deficiencies or damages (including actual costs of investigation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs and expenses) but for the avoidance of doubt not including any such amounts incurred in connection with any indemnification claim hereunder by a Indemnified Party to the extent that such Indemnified Party is not successful in such claim (all of the foregoing collectively, “Losses”) paid, suffered, incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon any Indemnified Party to the extent arising in whole or in part out of or as a result of or in connection with (whether or not involving a Third Party Claim):

(a) the failure of any representation or warranty of the Company and/or the Seller contained herein to be true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as if made at the Closing;

(b) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant of the Company and/or the Seller contained herein except for any breach of Section 6.3; or

(c) additional taxes payable to PRC tax authorities reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December, 31 2018 in relation to the Company’s used auto sales business resulting from a materially different tax treatment as compared to the corresponding tax treatment reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December, 31 2017 (“Special Tax Indemnity”);

(d) obligations incurred by the Purchaser relating to any contingent consideration due and owing to the (i) Dealer Partners under the Dealership Agreements and (ii) After Care Partners under the After Care Agreements in the form of equity in the Company (“Special Dealer Indemnity”).

10.2 Payment by the Escrow Agent Any amounts payable by the Indemnifying Party hereunder after Final Resolution of any claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE X (a “Claim”) shall first be paid with Accrued Dividends held in the Escrow Account, then with any cash or cash equivalents that are held in the Escrow Account, then with the Escrow Shares, and then with any remaining property in the Escrow Account. With respect to any indemnification payment that includes Escrow Shares, the value of each Escrow Share for purposes of determining the indemnification payment shall be the Purchaser Share Price on the date that the indemnification claim is finally determined in accordance with this ARTICLE X. For successful indemnification Claims by an Indemnified Party, within five (5) Business Days after Final Resolution, the Purchaser and the Seller will provide the Escrow Agent with joint written instructions to disburse and irrevocably surrender to Purchaser a number of Escrow Shares and other Escrow Property equal to the amount provided in such Final Resolution with respect to such Claim (as determined in accordance with this ARTICLE X) from the Escrow Account (and the Purchaser and the Seller will provide or cause to be provided to the Escrow Agent any written instructions or other information or documents required by the Escrow Agent to do so). The Purchaser will cancel any Escrow Shares surrendered to the Purchaser by the Escrow Agent promptly after its receipt thereof. The Seller is deemed to have waived its entitlement to any Accrued Dividend payable in respect of such Escrow Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, only the Earnout Payment paid pursuant to Section 3.4(c) shall be reduced by the amount of any indemnification claims by any Indemnified Party under this Article X, and only with respect to any such claims that (i) are pending, (ii) have been finally determined as due and owing but are unpaid by the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Article X or (iii) have been paid from the Escrow Account in accordance with this Article X but have not previously been used to reduce the amount of such Earnout Payment. No other Earnout Payments shall be reduced with respect to indemnification claims by the Indemnified Party. For the avoidance of doubt, (y) the Escrow Agent shall at all times prior to the final determination of amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.4(a) and (b) retain sufficient Escrow Shares and Escrow Property to pay the maximum possible amount payable to Seller thereunder, and (x) all amounts payable by the Escrow Agent to Seller in respect Sections 3.4(a) and (b) shall be paid to Seller, regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is entitled to any Losses under any Claim, and shall not be reduced by any such Claim. In the event that the conditions of Section 3.4(d) are satisfied, the Escrow Shares and Escrow Property shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms thereof. Upon the final determination of any such pending indemnification claim, if the final amount determined to be payable to the Indemnified Party is less than the amount reserved for such claim, then to the extent that such pending claim reduced and would otherwise continue to reduce the amount of the Earnout Payment (after first giving effect for other reductions to the amount of such prior Earnout Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence, including other pending indemnification claims, taking into account the following events occurring after the time that the Earnout Payment was initially reduced: (x) any adjustments to the claimed amount for any other indemnification claims existing at such time; and (y) the amount of any new pending or finally determined indemnification claims made since such time), such amount of Escrow Property will be promptly thereafter disbursed by the Escrow Agent to the Sellers (and Purchaser shall pay the Accrued Dividends).

10.3 Limitations and General Indemnification Provisions:

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and except for Fraud Claims and Special Indemnity Claims:

(i) no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any Losses under a Claim unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses under all Claims of all Indemnified Party shall exceed US$3,000,000 (the “Deductible”), at which time those additional Losses incurred exceeding and excluding the amount of the Deductible shall be subject to indemnification hereunder;

(ii) the Indemnifying Party’s aggregate Liability for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE X shall not exceed the value of 13,050,000 Escrow Shares (the “Indemnity Escrow Share Amount”), and any Losses that the Indemnifying Party is entitled to recover pursuant to this ARTICLE X shall be payable solely from the Escrow Shares and the Escrow Account in accordance with this ARTICLE X;

(iii) in no event shall any Loss be recoverable under the terms of this Agreement to the extent it consists of or is based upon punitive, special or exemplary damages, except to the extent awarded to a third party in connection with a Third Party Claim;

(iv) after the expiration of the Survival Period, the Indemnifying Party shall have no further Liability for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE X other than with respect to Claims already made as provided in this ARTICLE X.

(b) In the event that any Released 2020 Escrow Property or Released Provisional Indemnification Property is disbursed to the Seller, if there is an indemnification claim against the Indemnifying Party that is finally determined to be due and owing to an Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to the extent that there is insufficient Escrow Property in the Escrow Account (with each Escrow Share valued at the Purchaser Share Price) to pay for such indemnification claim in accordance with this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for such difference, provided that (except for Fraud Claims and Special Indemnity Claims) the aggregate liability of the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 10.3(b) shall not exceed the aggregate value of the Released 2020 Escrow Property and/or Released Provisional Indemnification Property that is actually disbursed to the Seller (with each Escrow Share valued at the Purchaser Share Price).

(c) No investigation or knowledge by an Indemnified Party or the Purchaser or their respective representatives of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of an Indemnifying Party shall affect the recourse available to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE X.

(d) Promptly after an Indemnified Party becomes aware of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Warrantors contained in this Agreement or any other claim for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE X, the Indemnified Party shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate and minimize all Losses that could result from or relate to such breach or claim.

10.4 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by any Indemnified Party for indemnification:

(a) In the event any Indemnified Party desires to make a Claim, Purchaser shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party, setting forth (i) the nature of and factual and legal basis for the Claim in reasonable detail and (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses for which indemnification is being sought that have been incurred, or to the extent not yet incurred, a good faith estimate of the amount of such Losses reasonably expected to be incurred (the “Claim Amount”). Any Claim Amount or any other matter set forth in a Claim Notice will be deemed to be finally resolved for purposes of this ARTICLE X when (A) resolved by a written agreement executed by Purchaser, the Company and the Seller or (B) resolved by a final, nonappealable order, decision or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator (clauses (A) and (B), together, a “Final Resolution”).

(b) An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party, as applicable, prompt notice (and within no more than 10 days) of any Third Party Claim with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1 (a “Third Party Claim Notice”) which include the same information as a Claim Notice. The failure to give the Third- Party Claim Notice shall not impair any of the rights or benefits of such Indemnified Party to indemnification under this ARTICLE X, except to the extent such failure actually prejudices any right, defense or claim available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received from the counterparty in such third party Action by the Indemnified Party relating to the claim.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim by written notice to Purchaser within sixty (60) days of delivery of the Third Party Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.4(c), then the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be kept reasonably informed by the Indemnifying Party and its legal counsel with respect to the status of any legal proceedings, to the extent not inconsistent with the preservation of attorney-client or work product privilege. If the Indemnifying Party so assumes the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to such Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include an Indemnified Party and counsel for Purchaser and the Indemnifying Party agrees that there is an actual conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense thereof, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be Losses eligible for submission in a Claim, subject to the other terms of this ARTICLE X. The Indemnifying Party shall seek the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to any settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim to the extent such settlement or compromise: (A) includes equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (B) involves the resolution of criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (C) will impose liability that will not be satisfied in full by the Indemnity Escrow Share Amount or amounts or property from the Escrow Account.

(d) To the extent the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of Section 10.4(c), Purchaser may elect to conduct such defense, using legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

10.5 Insurance. Any indemnification payments hereunder shall take into account any insurance proceeds or other third party reimbursement actually received. In the event that a recovery is made by an Indemnified Party or any Affiliate of an Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses for which such Indemnified Party has already been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party.

10.6 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except as expressly set forth otherwise, this ARTICLE X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Party from and after the Closing and shall be in lieu of any other remedies that may be available to the Indemnified Party under any other agreement or pursuant to any statutory or common law with respect to any Losses directly or indirectly resulting from or arising out of any claims arising under this Agreement or the Transactions; provided, however, that the foregoing sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief, or any right or remedy arising by reason of any Fraud Claims.

10.7 Survival of Indemnification Rights. All representations and warranties of the Warrantors contained in this Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits hereto and all certificates, documents, instruments and undertakings furnished pursuant to this Agreement) shall survive the Closing through and until April 30, 2021 (the “Survival Period”); provided, however, that Fraud Claims against the Warrantors shall survive indefinitely, and that claims in respect of the Special Tax Indemnity shall survive until April 30, 2019. If written notice of a claim for breach of any representation or warranty has been given before the applicable date when such representation or warranty no longer survives in accordance with this Section 10.7, then the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until the claim has been finally resolved. All covenants, obligations and agreements of the Warrantors contained in this Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits hereto and all certificates, documents, instruments and undertakings furnished pursuant to this Agreement), including any indemnification obligations, shall survive the Closing and continue until fully performed in accordance with their terms.

13.2 Amendments; No Waivers; Remedies.

(a) This Agreement cannot be amended, except by a writing signed by each party, and cannot be terminated orally or by course of conduct. No provision hereof can be waived, except by a writing signed by the party against whom such waiver is to be enforced, and any such waiver shall apply only in the particular instance in which such waiver shall have been given.

(b) Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any condition. No notice to or demand on a party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that party or impairs any right of the party giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this Agreement. No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no statement herein of any right or remedy shall impair any other right or remedy stated herein or that otherwise may be available.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, neither shall any party seek, nor shall any party be liable for, punitive or exemplary damages, under any tort, contract, equity, or other legal theory, with respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any matter otherwise relating hereto or arising in connection herewith.

13.3 Arm’s length bargaining; no presumption against drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any party in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.

13.4 Publicity. Except as required by law and except with respect to the Purchaser SEC Documents, the parties agree that neither they nor their agents shall issue any press release or make any other public disclosure concerning the transactions contemplated hereunder without the prior approval of the other party hereto. If a party is required to make such a disclosure as required by law, the parties will use their best efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or public disclosure to be issued.

13.5 Expenses. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, unless otherwise specified herein.

13.6 No Assignment or Delegation. No party may assign any right or delegate any obligation hereunder, including by merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise, without the written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void, in addition to constituting a material breach of this Agreement.

13.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

13.8 Counterparts; facsimile signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon delivery to each party of an executed counterpart or the earlier delivery to each party of original, photocopied, or electronically transmitted signature pages that together (but need not individually) bear the signatures of all other parties.

13.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Additional Agreements, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements related thereto (whether written or oral), all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement may be explained or qualified by any agreement, negotiations, understanding, discussion, conduct or course of conduct or by any trade usage. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or any Additional Agreement, there is no condition precedent to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof. No party has relied on any representation from, or warranty or agreement of, any person in entering into this Agreement, prior hereto or contemporaneous herewith or any Additional Agreement, except those expressly stated herein or therein.

13.10 Severability. A determination by a court or other legal authority that any provision that is not of the essence of this Agreement is legally invalid shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to substitute (or cause such court or other legal authority to substitute) for any provision so held to be invalid a valid provision, as alike in substance to such invalid provision as is lawful.

13.11 Construction of certain terms and references; captions. In this Agreement:

(a) References to particular sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits not otherwise specified are cross-references to sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits of this Agreement.

(b) The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and, unless the context requires otherwise, “party” means a party signatory hereto.

(c) Any use of the singular or plural, or the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, includes the others, unless the context otherwise requires; “including” means “including without limitation;” “or” means “and/or;” “any” means “any one, more than one, or all;” and, unless otherwise specified, any financial or accounting term has the meaning of the term under United States generally accepted accounting principles as consistently applied heretofore by the Company.

(d) Unless otherwise specified, any reference to any agreement (including this Agreement), instrument, or other document includes all schedules, exhibits, or other attachments referred to therein, and any reference to a statute or other law includes any rule, regulation, ordinance, or the like promulgated thereunder, in each case, as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time. Any reference to a numbered schedule means the same-numbered section of the disclosure schedule. Any reference in a schedule contained in the disclosure schedules delivered by a party hereunder shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) the applicable representations and warranties (or applicable covenants) that are contained in the section of this Agreement that corresponds to such schedule and any other representations and warranties of such party that are contained in this Agreement to which the relevance of such item thereto is reasonably apparent on its face. The mere inclusion of an item in a schedule as an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, or establish any standard of materiality to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If any action is required to be taken or notice is required to be given within a specified number of days following a specific date or event, the day of such date or event is not counted in determining the last day for such action or notice. If any action is required to be taken or notice is required to be given on or before a particular day which is not a Business Day, such action or notice shall be considered timely if it is taken or given on or before the next Business Day.

(f) Captions are not a part of this Agreement, but are included for convenience, only.

(g) For the avoidance of any doubt, all references in this Agreement to “the knowledge or best knowledge of the Company” or similar terms shall be deemed to include the actual or constructive (e.g., implied by Law) knowledge of the Key Personnel.

13.12 Further Assurances. Each party shall execute and deliver such documents and take such action, as may reasonably be considered within the scope of such party’s obligations hereunder, necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Additional Agreements.

13.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof confers any benefit or right upon or may be enforced by any Person not a signatory hereto.

13.14 Waiver. Reference is made to the final IPO prospectus of the Purchaser, dated October 25, 2017 (the “Prospectus”). The Company and the Seller have read the Prospectus and understand that the Purchaser has established the Trust Account for the benefit of the public shareholders of the Purchaser and the underwriters of the IPO pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Purchaser may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the purposes set forth in the Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of the Purchaser agreeing to enter into this Agreement, the Company and the Seller each hereby agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and hereby agrees that it will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Purchaser; provided that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against Purchaser for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including a claim for Purchaser to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect Purchaser’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Purchaser Shareholder Redemption, and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against Purchaser’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account upon completion of a “Business Combination” as such term is defined in Purchaser’s constitutional documents (except such amounts that are paid or payable to shareholders of Purchaser holding Purchaser Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO who shall have elected to redeem their Purchaser Ordinary Shares pursuant to Purchaser’s constitutional documents) and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).

13.15 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may be enforced only against, and any dispute, claim or controversy based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought only against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth in this Agreement with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, agent, attorney, advisor, lender or representative or Affiliate of any named party to this Agreement (which Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 13.15) shall have any liability (whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of such named party or for any dispute, claim or controversy based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

BOARD Of DIRECTORS

(a) Each of Renren, the Company and Shareholder Value Fund shall cause to be appointed, nominated and elected, in each case subject to the Articles and applicable law, (i) while the Company is not a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, four (4) designees of Renren (each, a “Renren Nominee”) to the Board, and while the Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act six (6) designees of Renren, or such number of Directors as needed to cause Renren Nominees to constitute a majority of the Directors, and (ii) one (1) designee (the “SVF Nominee”) of Shareholder Value Fund (“SVF”) to the Board, in each case on as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of the Closing. Renren shall ensure that any Renren Nominee, and SVF shall ensure that any SVF Nominee, meets any applicable requirements under the Articles, Cayman Islands law and the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or other applicable stock exchange) to act as a Director. Any Renren Nominee or SVF Nominee shall be subject to the terms of the Articles with respect to his or her directorship, including the term of office as a member of the designated class of director.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Renren Nominee or SVF Nominee resigns, is removed pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or otherwise, or is unable to continue to serve as a Director of the Company, Renren or SVF (as applicable) may designate a replacement Director and each of the Company, Renren and SVF shall cause such person to be elected a Director, including through the exercise of their respective nomination, appointment and and/or voting powers described in Section 2.1(a). (For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the resignation or removal of a Director pursuant to this Section 2.1(b), Renren and SVF (as applicable) shall remain entitled to nominate and designate one Director pursuant to and subject to Section 2.1(a)).

(c) Any Director of the Company may be removed from the Board of Directors in accordance with applicable law and the governing documents of the Company; provided, however, that (i) with respect to any Renren Nominee, SVF shall not take any action to cause any such removal without the prior written consent of Renren unless such removal is required by applicable law or such Director is no longer qualified to serve as a Director pursuant to applicable Commission or regulatory requirements, and (ii) with respect to any SVF Nominee, Renren shall not take any action to cause any such removal without the prior written consent of SVF unless such removal is required by applicable law or such Director is no longer qualified to serve as a Director pursuant to applicable Commission or regulatory requirements.

(d) The Company shall ensure, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that any Directors, including any Renren Nominee or SVF Nominee, nominated or designated pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall enjoy the same rights, capacities, entitlements, indemnification rights and compensation as any other members of the Board of Directors. Any Renren Nominee or SVF Nominee shall be entitled to reimbursement for documented, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors to the same extent as other members of the Board of Directors. The Company shall notify the Renren Nominees and the SVF Nominee of all regular meetings and special meetings of the Board of Directors. The Company shall provide the Renren Nominees and the SVF Nominee with copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other material that it provides to all other members of the Board of Directors concurrently with such materials being provided to the other members.

(e) Each of Renren, SVF and the Company agrees that the Board shall consist of (i) five (5) Directors while the Company is not a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act or (ii) seven (7) Directors while the Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, other than as required by applicable laws and regulations. In the event that applicable laws and/or regulations require the Company to appoint additional members to the Board, in order to fulfill applicable independence requirements, SFV agrees to grant a proxy to Renren with respect to the vote of all Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by it with respect to the appointment of any such independent Director(s) or Director nominee(s) (and any of their successors or replacements).

(f) In the event that Renren, together with its Affiliates, beneficially owns fewer Ordinary Shares than the Threshold Ownership Amount or Renren is not the single largest Shareholder of the Company, Renren’s rights, under this Section 2.1 shall terminate immediately. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of Renren set forth in this Section 2.1 shall reattach following any termination thereof pursuant to this Section 2.1(f) in the event that the number of Ordinary Shares owned by Renren and its Affiliates subsequently surpasses the Threshold Ownership Amount and Renren is the single largest Shareholder of the Company.

Renren shall be entitled to the following rights with respect to any potential public offering of Ordinary Shares in the United States, and to any analogous or equivalent rights with respect to any other offering of shares in any other jurisdiction pursuant to which the Company undertakes to publicly offer or list such securities for trading on a recognized securities exchange.

Section 3.2 Restrictive Legend; Execution by the Company.

The Company, by its execution in the space provided below, agrees that it will cause the certificates evidencing the Ordinary Shares to bear the legend required by Section 3.2(b) of the Exchange Agreement, and it shall supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any holder of a certificate evidencing Ordinary Shares containing such legend upon written request from such holder to the Company at its principal office. The parties hereto do hereby agree that the failure to cause the certificates evidencing the appropriate Ordinary Shares to bear the legend required by Section 3.2(b) of the Exchange Agreement and/or failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided under this Section 3.2 shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.

Section 3.3 Demand Registration.

(a) Request by Renren. If the Company shall at any time after six (6) months after the date of this Agreement receive a written request from Renren that the Company effect a registration, qualification or compliance with respect to the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.3, then the Company shall use its best efforts to effect, within 45 Business Days of such request, such registration, qualification or compliance (including, without limitation, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, subject only to the limitations of this Section 2.3; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration:

(i) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date six (6) months immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 145”) or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;

(ii) After the Company has effected two such registrations pursuant to this Section 3.3(a), and each such registration has been declared or ordered effective; or

(iii) If Renren may dispose of shares of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 or Form F-3 under the Securities Act as in effect on the date hereof or any successor form under the Securities Act (“Form S-3/F-3”) pursuant to a request made under Section 3.5 hereof.

The Company shall not undertake, or be required to undertake, any action to qualify, register or list any securities on any exchange other than the Nasdaq in connection with this Section 3.3, provided that the Ordinary Shares continue to be listed on the Nasdaq.

(b) Underwriting. If Renren intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, then it shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to this Section 3.3. In the event of an underwritten offering, the right of Renren to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon Renren’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Renren’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If Renren proposes to distribute its securities through such an underwriting, it shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by it and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise Renren, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated among the holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then held by each Shareholder requesting registration (including Renren); provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration including, without limitation, all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other Person, including, without limitation, any Person who is an employee, officer or director of any of the Group Companies. If Renren disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Renren may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities and/or other securities so excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. Renren and all corporations that are Affiliates of Renren shall be deemed to be a single “Shareholder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Shareholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Shareholder,” as defined in this sentence.

(c) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Renren following its request of the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3.3, a certificate signed by CEO of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of Renren; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; provided, further that during such ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not file any registration statement pertaining to the public offering of any securities of the Company.

(d) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses. If Renren participates in a registration pursuant to Section 3.3(b), Renren shall bear its proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all Selling Expenses incurred in connection with such registration of securities on behalf of Renren. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 3.3 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of Renren, unless Renren agrees that such registration constitutes the use by Renren of one (1) demand registration pursuant to this Section 3.3; provided, further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, Renren has learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company not known to Renren at the time of their request for such registration and has withdrawn its request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then Renren shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration pursuant to this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4 Piggyback Registrations.

(a) Notice of Registration. The Company shall notify Renren in writing of registration of any of its securities, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to (i) any registration under Section 3.3 or Section 3.5 of this Agreement, (ii) any employee benefit plan, or (iii) any corporate reorganization) and will afford Renren an opportunity to include in such registration all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by it. If Renren desires to include in any such registration (and any related qualifications under blue sky laws or other compliance) and in any underwriting involved therein, all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by Renren, it shall after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities Renren wishes to include in such registration statement. If Renren decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, Renren shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) Underwriting. If a registration under which the Company gives notice under this Section 3.4 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise Renren. In such event, the right of Renren’s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be conditioned upon Renren’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Renren’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If Renren proposes to distribute its Registrable Securities through such underwriting, Renren shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first to the Company, and second, to each of the Shareholders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Shareholder; provided, however, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities for which inclusion has been requested, even if this will cause the Company to reduce the number of shares it wishes to offer; and (ii) all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other Person, including, without limitation, any Person who is an employee, officer or director of any of the Group Companies shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If Renren disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Renren may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. Renren and all corporations that are Affiliates of Renren shall be deemed to be a single Shareholder, and any pro rata reduction with respect to Renren shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Shareholder”, as defined in this sentence.

(i) If the registration is being undertaken on behalf of the Company, first to the Company, and second, to each of the Shareholders requesting inclusion of their securities pursuant to piggyback registration rights (including those pursuant to this Agreement) in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of securities then held by each such Shareholder. If Renren disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Renren may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. Renren and all corporations that are Affiliates of Renren shall be deemed to be a single Shareholder, and any pro rata reduction with respect to Renren shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Shareholder”, as defined in this sentence.

(ii) If the registration is being undertaken on behalf of securityholders (not including Renren) making a written demand for registration pursuant to demand registration rights, first to such shareholders making a written demand for registration, and second, to each of the shareholders requesting inclusion of their securities pursuant to piggyback registration rights (including Renren, pursuant to this Agreement) in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of securities then held by each such shareholder. If Renren disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Renren may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. Renren and all corporations that are Affiliates of Renren shall be deemed to be a single Shareholder, and any pro rata reduction with respect to Renren shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Shareholder”, as defined in this sentence.

(c) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with each registration under this Section 3.4. If Renren participates in a registration pursuant to this Section 3.4, Renren shall bear its proportionate share (based upon the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all Selling Expenses incurred in connection with such registration of securities on behalf of Shareholders.

(d) Not a Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 3.3 above. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times Renren may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3.4.

Section 3.5 Form S-3/F-3 Registration.

(a) The Company shall use its best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3/F-3 or any comparable or successor form as early as possible and use best efforts to maintain such qualification thereafter. If the Company is qualified to use Form S-3/F-3, Renren shall have a right to request at such time from time to time (such request shall be in writing) that the Company effect a registration on either Form S-3/F-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by Renren, and upon receipt of each such request, the Company will:

(i) Registration. As soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of Renren’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3.5:

(1)

if Form S-3/F-3 becomes unavailable for such offering by Renren;

(2)

if Renren, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than US$1,000,000; or

(3)

if the Company has effected a registration pursuant to this Section 3.5 during the preceding six (6) month period.

(b) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with each registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.5. Renren shall bear such its proportionate share (based upon the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all Selling Expenses incurred in connection with such registration of securities.

(c) Maximum Frequency. Except as otherwise provided herein, Renren may request registration of Registrable Securities three (3) times under this Section 3.5.

(d) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Renren a certificate signed by the CEO of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form S-3/F-3 registration statement to be filed, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of Renren; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; provided, further that during such ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not file any registration statement pertaining to the public offering of any securities of the Company.

(e) Not Demand Registration. Form S-3/F-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 3.3 above.

(f) Underwriting. If the requested registration under this Section 3.5 is for an underwritten offering, the provisions of Section 3.3(b) shall apply.

Section 3.6 Obligations of the Company.

Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall keep Renren advised in writing as to the initiation of such registration and as to the completion thereof, and shall, at its expense and as expeditiously and as reasonably possible:

(a) Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and keep any such registration statement effective for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days or until Renren has completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever occurs first.

(b) Amendments and Supplements. Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

(c) Registration Statements and Prospectuses. Furnish to Renren such number of copies of registration statements and prospectuses, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws, and such other documents as it may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by it that are included in such registration.

(d) Blue Sky. Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by Renren, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

(e) Deposit Agreement. If the registration relates to an offering of depositary shares or other securities representing Ordinary Shares deposited pursuant to a deposit agreement or similar facility, cause the depositary under such agreement or facility to accept for deposit under such agreement or facility all Registrable Securities requested by Renren to be included in such registration in accordance with this Section 3.

(f) Underwriting. In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Renren shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(g) Notification. Notify Renren at any time when a prospectus relating to its Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(h) Opinion and Comfort Letter. Furnish, at the request of Renren, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriter(s) for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purpose of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to Renren, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to Renren and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to Renren, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and Renren.

(i) Listing on Securities Exchange(s). Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereto to be listed on the Nasdaq, or such other internationally recognized exchange, for long as the Company’s securities are listed on such exchange.

If the Company fails to perform any of the Company’s obligations set forth above in this Section 3.6 relating to a demand registration made pursuant to Section 3.3, such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration under Section 3.3.

Section 3.7 Furnish Information.

It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 with respect to the Registrable Securities of Renren, that Renren shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably requested in writing by the Company to timely effect the registration of its Registrable Securities.

Section 3.8 Indemnification.

The following indemnification provisions shall apply in the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5:

(a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Renren, its partners, officers, directors, employees, trustees, legal counsel and any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) for Renren and each Person, if any, who controls Renren or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any expenses, losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) (or actions in respect thereof) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable law, insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”):

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, offering circular, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or other document, or any amendments or supplements thereto;

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; or

(iii) any violation or alleged violation of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state or foreign securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will reimburse Renren, its partners, officers, directors, employees, legal counsel, underwriters or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by Renren, underwriter or controlling Person of Renren.

(b) By Renren. To the extent permitted by law, Renren will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) and any other Shareholder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Shareholder’s partners, directors, officers, employees, trustees, legal counsel and any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) for such Shareholder and each Person, if any, who controls such Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) (or actions in respect thereof) to which the Company or any such director, officer, employee, trustee, legal counsel, controlling Person, underwriter or other such Shareholder, partner or director, officer, employee or controlling Person of such other Shareholder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable law, insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Renren expressly for use in connection with such registration; and Renren will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, employee, controlling Person, underwriter or other Shareholder, partner, officer, employee, director or controlling Person of such other Shareholder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action: provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Renren, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further that the total amounts payable in indemnity by Renren under this Section 3.8(b) plus any amount under Section 3.8(e) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by Renren in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises.

(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 3.8 of notice of the commencement of any claim or action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 3.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof (a “Claim Notice”) and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, (i) during the period from the delivery of a Claim Notice until retention of counsel by the indemnifying party; and (ii) if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 3.8 to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 3.8.

(d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company and Renren are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in a preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the registration statement becomes effective, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Person if an amended prospectus is filed with the Commission and delivered pursuant to the Securities Act at or prior to the time of sale (including, without limitation, a contract of sale, and as further contemplated by Rule 159 promulgated under the Securities Act) to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage.

(e) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) Renren exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling Person of Renren, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 3.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of Renren or any such controlling Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 3.8; then, and in each such case, the Company and Renren will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that Renren is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by and sold under such registration statement, and the Company and any other selling Shareholders are responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however, that, in any such case: (A) Renren will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by Renren pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Renren under this Section 3.8 shall survive until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes.

Section 3.9 Rule 144 Reporting.

With a view to making available to Renren the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

(b) File with the Commission, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company; and

(c) So long as Renren owns any Restricted Securities, furnish to Renren forthwith upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual, interim, quarterly or other report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents as Renren may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

Section 3.10 Termination of the Company’s Obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligations pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by Renren in a registered public offering if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by Renren may then be sold under Rule 144 (i) in one three (3) month period without exceeding the volume limitations thereunder or (ii) without volume limitations.

Section 3.11 Re-Sale Rights.

The Company shall use its best efforts to assist Renren in the sale or disposition of its Registrable Securities, including the prompt delivery of applicable instruction letters by the Company and legal opinions from the Company’s counsels in forms reasonably satisfactory to Renren’s counsel. In the event the Company has depositary receipts listed or traded on any stock exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, the Company shall pay all costs and fees related to such depositary facility, including conversion fees and maintenance fees for Registrable Securities held by Renren.

Section 3.12 Transfer of Registration Rights.

The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to Renren under Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 may be assigned to a transferee or assignee in connection with any transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities by Renren; provided that: (a) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws, (b) the Company is given prompt notice of the transfer, (c) such assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering a Deed of Adherence (in the same form and substance as set out in Schedule 1 hereto), and(d) such assignee or transferee is (i) an Affiliate or affiliated fund (United States based or non-United States based) of Renren, (ii) a family member or trust for the benefit of any shareholder of Renren, or (iii) a transferee of the Registrable Securities originally issued to Renren (as adjusted for Recapitalization) equal to at least at least five percent (5%) of the total outstanding share capital of the Company (calculated on a fully-diluted basis.

Section 5.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with all the schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto and the certificates and other written instruments delivered in connection therewith from time to time on and following the date hereof, constitute and contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, understandings, duties or obligations between the parties respecting the subject matter hereof and thereof. Each party expressly represents and warrants that it is not relying on any oral or written representations, warranties, covenants or agreements outside of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 5.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of Hong Kong SAR, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Section 5.6 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination and the Parties’ rights and obligations hereunder (each, a “Dispute”) shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration (the “Arbitration”) in the following manner:

(a) The Arbitration shall be administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”);

(b) The Arbitration shall be procedurally governed by the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules as in force at the date on which the claimant party notifies the respondent party in writing (such notice, a “Notice of Arbitration”) of its intent to pursue Arbitration, which are deemed to be incorporated by reference and may be amended by this Section 5.6;

(d) A Dispute subject to Arbitration shall be determined by a panel of three (3) arbitrators (the “Tribunal”). One (1) arbitrator shall be nominated by the claimant party (and to the extent that there is more than one (1) claimant party, by mutual agreement among the claimant parties) and one (1) arbitrator shall be nominated by the respondent party (and to the extent that there is more than one (1) respondent party, by mutual agreement among the respondent parties). The third arbitrator shall be jointly nominated by the claimant party’s and respondent party’s respectively nominated arbitrators and shall act as the presiding arbitrator. If the claimant party or the respondent party fails to nominate its arbitrator within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the Notice of Arbitration by the respondent party or the claimant and respondent parties’ nominated arbitrators fail to jointly nominate the presiding arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the nomination of the respondent-nominated arbitrator, either party to the Dispute may request the Chairperson of the HKIAC to appoint such arbitrator; and

(e) The parties agree that all documents and evidence submitted in the Arbitration (including any statements of case and any interim or final award, as well as the fact that an arbitral award has been made) shall remain confidential both during and after any final award that is rendered unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. The arbitral award is final and binding upon the parties to the Arbitration.

Section 5.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable and to provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby on substantially the same terms as originally set forth herein, and if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect unless the severed provision is essential to the rights or benefits intended by the parties. In such event, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or agreement, which most nearly effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.

Section 5.8 Assignments and Transfers; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors and permitted assigns (and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by any transferee of equity securities held by Renren but only to the extent of such transfer), but shall not otherwise be for the benefit of any third party. Subject to Section 5.2 hereof, (a) the rights of Renren under this Agreement are assignable in connection with the transfer of any Ordinary Shares held by Renren but only to the extent of such transfer, and (b) the rights of Renren hereunder (including without limitation its rights under Article III of this Agreement) are assignable in the connection with the transfer of any Ordinary Shares held by Renren to any of its Affiliates (in each case subject to applicable securities laws and other laws), provided, however, that in either case (y) no party may be assigned any of the foregoing rights unless the Company is given written notice by the assigning party stating the name and address of the assignee and identifying the securities of the Company as to which the rights in question are being assigned; and (z) any such transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company and Renren a Deed of Adherence (in the same form and substance as set out in Schedule 1 hereto), subject to the terms and conditions hereof. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of any party hereunder shall not otherwise be assigned without the mutual written consent of the other parties hereto,

Section 5.9 Construction. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties. A facsimile or “PDF” signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original.

Section 5.11 Aggregation of Shares. All Securities held or acquired by Renren and/or its Affiliates and Permitted Transferees shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights of Renren under this Agreement.

Section 5.12 Conflict with Articles or Other Agreements. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Articles, the parties shall, notwithstanding the conflict or inconsistency, act so as to effect the intent of this Agreement to the greatest extent possible under the circumstances. The Company agrees that in the event that any holder of Ordinary Shares is, after the date of this Agreement, granted any registration rights that are more favorable to such other holder than those rights provided to Renren pursuant to Article II hereof, Renren shall be promptly notified in writing of such modification to the rights and the Company shall amend this Agreement to grant Renren the same rights from the date that those rights are provided to such other holder.

Section 5.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree irreparable harm may occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity, the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement without posting any bond or other undertaking.

Section 5.14 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by all the parties hereto. The observance of any provision in this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by the written consent of the party against whom such waiver is to be effective. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 5.14 shall be binding upon the parties hereof and their respective assigns. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring.

Section 5.15 Public Announcements. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, the parties hereto, to the extent permitted by applicable law, will consult with each other before issuance, and provide each other the opportunity to review, comment upon and agree on any press release or public statement with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the ongoing business relationship among the parties. The parties hereto will not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior written consent of the other party, except as may be required by law or any listing agreement with or requirement of the Nasdaq, the NYSE or any other applicable securities exchange, provided that the disclosing party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law or any listing agreement with or requirement of the Nasdaq, the NYSE or any other applicable securities exchange, and if reasonably practicable, inform the other parties about the disclosure to be made pursuant to such requirements prior to the disclosure.

(b) Upon receipt by a Party or its subsidiaries or VIE(s) of any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other Party or its subsidiaries or VIE(s), or if a Party or any of its subsidiaries or VIE(s) obtains knowledge that any of its current or former employees has received any subpoena, discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other Party or its subsidiaries or VIE(s), such Party shall promptly notify that other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide that other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights such other Party may have under this Section 3.8 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Information. Renren or its subsidiaries or VIEs, or Kaixin or its subsidiaries and VIE, as the case may be, will not produce or disclose to any third party any of the other Party’s Privileged Information under this Section 3.8 unless (a) such other Party has provided its express written consent to such production or disclosure or (b) a court of competent jurisdiction has entered an order not subject to interlocutory appeal or review finding that the Information is not entitled to protection from disclosure under any applicable privilege, doctrine or rule.

The access to Information, witnesses and individuals being granted pursuant to Section 3.4 and Section 3.6 and the disclosure to one Party of Privileged Information relating to the other Party’s businesses pursuant to this Agreement shall not be asserted by Renren or Kaixin to constitute, or otherwise be deemed, a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 3.8 or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to reduce, minimize or condition the rights granted to, or the obligations imposed upon, Renren and Kaixin by this Section 3.8.

Section 3.9 Future Litigation and Other Proceedings. In the event that Kaixin (or any of its subsidiaries or VIEs or any of its or their respective officers or directors) or Renren (or any of its subsidiaries or VIEs or any of its or their respective officers or directors) at any time after the date hereof initiates or becomes subject to any litigation or other proceedings before any Governmental Authority or arbitration panel with respect to which the Parties have no prior agreements (as to indemnification or otherwise), the Party (and its subsidiaries and VIEs and its and their respective officers and directors) that has not initiated and is not subject to such litigation or other proceedings shall comply, at the litigant Party’s expense, with any reasonable requests by the litigant Party for assistance in connection with such litigation or other proceedings (including by way of provision of Information and making available of employees as witnesses). In the event that Kaixin (or any of its subsidiaries or VIEs or any of its or their respective officers or directors) and Renren (or any of its subsidiaries or VIEs or any of its or their respective officers or directors), or any combination thereof, at any time after the date hereof initiate or become subject to any litigation or other proceedings before any Governmental Authority or arbitration panel with respect to which the litigant Parties have no prior agreements (as to indemnification or otherwise), each litigant Party (and its officers and directors) shall, at their own expense, coordinate their strategies and actions with respect to such litigation or other proceedings to the extent such coordination would not be detrimental to their respective interests and shall comply, at the expense of the requesting Party, with any reasonable requests of such Party for assistance in connection therewith (including by way of provision of information and making available of employees as witnesses).

The provisions of this Section 3.10 are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute (a) an authorization by either Renren or Kaixin to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and no Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other Party for service of process purposes or (b) a waiver of any Privilege with respect to Privileged Information contained in such mail, telegrams, packages or other communications.

Section 4.2 Indemnification by Kaixin. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Kaixin shall, for itself and as agent for each of its subsidiaries and VIEs, indemnify, defend (or, where applicable, pay the defense costs for) and hold harmless the Renren Indemnitees from and against, and shall reimburse the Renren Indemnitees with respect to, any and all Losses that any third party seeks to impose upon the Renren Indemnitees, or which are imposed upon the Renren Indemnitees, and that relate to, arise or result from, whether prior to, on or following the Closing Date, any of the following items (without duplication):

Section 4.4 Procedures for Defense, Settlement and Indemnification of the Third Party Claims.

(a) Notice of Claims. If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) other than Renren, Kaixin and their subsidiaries and VIEs and CM Seven Star of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification, Renren or Kaixin, as applicable, will ensure that such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 4.4 shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this ARTICLE 4, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually and substantially prejudiced by such delay or failure to give notice.

(b) Defense by Indemnifying Party. An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes, at its cost, risk and expense, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, unless the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such proceeding and the Indemnitee determines in good faith that joint representation would be materially prejudicial to the Indemnitee’s defense. After timely notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee of such election to so assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. The Indemnitee agrees to cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense against any Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to compromise or settle any Third Party Claim as to which it is providing indemnification, provided that any compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Defense by Indemnitee. If an Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such claim, the Indemnitee will, upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party, have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnifying Party subject to the limitations as set forth in this Section 4.4; provided, however, that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnitee assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, it shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse all such costs and expenses of the Indemnitee in the event it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim. In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 4.5 Additional Matters.

(a) Cooperation in Defense and Settlement. With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both the Kaixin Group and Renren Group in a material way due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities set forth in this Agreement or any of the Inter-Company Agreements, the Parties agree to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect thereto) so as to minimize such Liabilities and defense costs associated therewith. Any Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such Third Party Claims shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, engage counsel to assist in the defense of such claims.

(b) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of any Indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee, in whole or in part based upon whether the Indemnifying Party has paid all or only part of the Indemnitee’s Liability, as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

Section 4.6 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this ARTICLE 4 shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party of any of its assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities or the acquisition of control of such Party (by sale of capital stock or other equity interests, merger, consolidation or otherwise).

Section 4.7 Precedence. None of the provisions in this Agreement is intended to limit or affect the indemnification of CM Seven Star by Renren pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. In the event of conflict between this Agreement and the Exchange Agreement in respect of the indemnification of CM Seven Star by Renren, the Exchange Agreement shall prevail.

ARTICLE 5

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 5.1 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Transitional Services Agreement or Non-Competition Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity thereof (“Dispute”) which arises between the Parties shall first be negotiated between appropriate senior executives of each Party who shall have the authority to resolve the matter. Such executives shall meet to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute prior to pursuing other available remedies, within ten (10) days of receipt by a Party of written notice of a Dispute, which date of receipt shall be referred to herein as the “Dispute Resolution Commencement Date.” Discussions and correspondence relating to trying to resolve such Dispute shall be treated as Confidential Information and Privileged Information of each of Renren and Kaixin developed for the purpose of settlement and shall be exempt from discovery or production and shall not be admissible in any subsequent proceeding between the Parties.

(b) If the senior executives are unable to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days from the Dispute Resolution Commencement Date, then, the Dispute will be submitted to the boards of directors of Renren and Kaixin. Representatives of each board of directors shall meet as soon as practicable to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute.

(c) If the representatives of the two boards of directors are unable to resolve the Dispute within one hundred twenty (120) days from the Dispute Resolution Commencement Date, on the request of any Party, the Dispute will be mediated by a mediator appointed pursuant to the mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association. Both Parties will share the administrative costs of the mediation and the mediator’s fees and expenses equally, and each Party shall bear all of its other costs and expenses related to the mediation, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, witness fees, and travel expenses. The mediation shall take place in Beijing, China or in whatever alternative forum on which the Parties may agree.

(d) If the Parties cannot resolve any Dispute through mediation within forty-five (45) days after the appointment of the mediator (or the earlier withdrawal thereof), each Party shall be entitled to seek relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Inter-Company Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1 with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute, controversy or claim.
