附件一
This Schedule I is a part of and is incorporated into that certain Agreement dated as of September 27, 2009 by and between VLOV, Inc. (the "Company") and ARC China, Inc. ("Purchaser") This letter will confirm that the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its affiliates, the respective directors, officers, attorneys, finders and other agents, stockholders and employees of Purchaser and its affiliates and each other person, if any, controlling Purchaser or any of its affiliates (Purchaser and each such person and entity being referred to as an "Indemnified Person"), to the full extent lawful, from and against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities or actions (including without limitation shareholder actions and actions arising from the use of information provided to Purchaser by the Company or omissions from such materials) related to or arising out of this engagement or Purchaser's role in connection herewith, and will pay (or, if paid by an Indemnified Person, reimburse such Indemnified Person) for all fees and expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees and charges for the time of Purchaser professional employees at their then current hourly rates) incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which any Indemnified Person is a party.
本附件为劲都人(国际)服饰有限公司(“公司”))与宏弧商务咨询(上海)有限公司(“顾问”)于2009年9月27日签# 746;协议的一部分。本附件确认公司同意为买方和其关联机构、管理人员、律师、代理、股东、雇员,顾问的控制人和关联机构(“受偿人”)等免责,免予承担因此顾问协议而产生的任何损失、索赔、诉讼(包括但不限于股东诉讼,因使用公司提供信息而引起的诉讼)。并支付(如果受偿人先行支付,给予报销)受偿人为了调查、准备、辩护而支付的所有费用(包括但不限于律师费和买方雇员的按时计费)。
The Company will not, however, be responsible for any claims, liabilities, losses, damages or expenses which result from any compromise or settlement not approved by the Company or which are determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnified Person. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to the Company for or in connection with the Agreement, except for any such liability for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company, which are determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Person. The foregoing agreement shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Person may have at common law or otherwise, including without limitation any right to contribution.
对于未经公司认可的和解,或法院认定由任何受偿人的欺诈、故意或重大过失引起的索赔、责任、损失,公司不负责。公司同意,除了法院认定由受偿人的欺诈、故意或重大过失引起的索赔、责任、损失,受偿人对公司不承担责任。上述协& #35758;不限制受偿人依普通法所享有的其他权利。
The Company's agreement to indemnify Purchaser and other Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Agreement shall not be disclosed publicly or made available to third parties by either party hereto without the other party's prior written consent. If any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant hereto, or if any Indemnified Person receives notice from any potential litigant of a claim which such person reasonably believes will result in the commencement of any such action, proceeding, or claim, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the commencement of such action or proceeding, or of the existence of any such claim, but the failure so to notify the Company of any such action or proceeding shall not relieve the Company from any other obligation or liability which it may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Agreement or with respect to any other action or proceeding. In case any such action or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Person with respect to which such Indemnified Person gives notice of its intention to seek indemnification hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to participate in such action or proceeding and, to the extent that the Company may determine, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel of the Company's choice (in which case the Company shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by such Indemnified Person), or compromise or settle such action or proceeding, at its expense; provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the Indemnified Person in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. Notwithstanding the Company's election to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action or proceeding, and the Company shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel (and shall pay such fees, costs and expenses at least quarterly), if (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent such Indemnified Person would, in the judgment of the Indemnified Person, present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (b) the defendants in, or targets of, any such action or proceeding include both an Indemnified Person and the Company, and such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or to other Indemnified Persons which are different from or additional to those available to the Company (in which case the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Person); (c) the Company shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in the exercise of the Indemnified Person's reasonable judgment to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or proceeding; or (d) the Company shall authorize such Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the Company's expense.
非经另一方书面许可,公司同意赔偿买方和其他受偿人的消息不得对外公布或透露给第三方。如果任何受偿人被起诉,以向公司寻求赔偿,或任何受偿人接到诉讼或索赔的通知并由此有理由相信将会被起诉,该受偿人应及时以书面形式通知& #20844;司。怠于通知并不会减轻公司按照本协议应当承担的责任。如果受偿人被起诉,且受偿人发出将要求赔偿的通知,公司有权参加诉讼,经受偿人认可,自聘律师(公司不再支付该受偿人的律师费)进行辩护或和解。受偿人有权单独聘请律师,由公司支付合理费用(至少每季度一付),如果 (a)受偿人认为使用公司的律师有利益冲突;(b) 公司和受偿人同为被告,受偿人认为与公司的抗辩不同或有更多抗辩(则公司无权代表受偿人进行抗辩),(c)在接到起诉通知后合理时间内,公司未提供受偿人满意的律师;(d) 公司授权受偿人自聘律师,由公司支付费用。
In order to provide for the just and equitable contribution, if a claim for indemnification hereunder is found unenforceable in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal), even though the express provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case, then the Company and Purchaser shall contribute to the losses, claims, damages, judgments, liability, expenses or costs to which the Indemnified Person may be subject in accordance with the relative benefits received by, and the relative fault of, each in connection with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities, or costs. The Company agrees that a pro rata allocation would be unfair. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation or omission shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be obligated to contribute any amount hereunder that exceeds the amount of fees previously received by Purchaser for its services to the Company.
为保证公平公正,如果赔偿诉讼的法院裁决不能执行(不包括上诉),公司和买方应按照所得收益和相应过错来分担受偿人的损失、费用、裁决、责任。公司同意按人分配有失公平。有欺诈或疏漏行为的人无权获得无过错人的责任分担。买& #26041;的赔偿义务仅限于其从公司收取的费用。
These indemnification provisions shall (i) remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination or completion of the engagement of Purchaser; (ii) inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs or personal representative of any Indemnified Person; and (iii) be in addition to any other rights that any Indemnified Person may have.
本赔偿条款:(i) 无论协议是否终止,都保持全部效力;(ii) 适用于受偿人的继承人、受让人、代表人;(iii) 不限制受偿人的其他权利。
