Section 2.4 Sublicensing.

(a) Subsidiaries. Subject to this Section 2.4(a), JD Finance may sublicense to its Subsidiaries (each, a “Subsidiary Sublicensee”) the rights granted to it under Section 2.1 or Section 2.1(b). Any such sublicense of rights to a Subsidiary Sublicensee must be granted pursuant to an enforceable, written agreement with such Subsidiary Sublicensee that (i) requires, to the extent necessary to enable JD Finance to comply with the ownership provisions set forth in this Agreement, each such Subsidiary Sublicensee to assign to JD Finance all right, title and interest in and to any Intellectual Property Rights arising from or related to the exercise of such Subsidiary Sublicensee’s rights thereunder and (ii) contains terms that are at least as protective of the applicable JD Group Companies’ rights in, and confidentiality and Source Code security with respect to, the Licensed IP as those contained in this Agreement (each, a “Sublicense Agreement”).

JD Finance and its Subsidiary Sublicensees shall require in such End User License that all JD Finance End Users comply with all applicable trademark and brand usage guidelines for such Licensed Trademarks and that all goodwill arising from any JD Finance End User’s use of the Licensed Trademarks inures to the benefit of the applicable JD Group Companies, and JD Finance or the applicable Subsidiary Sublicensee shall enforce these terms against any JD Finance End User.

(d) JD Finance’s Rights and Obligations. Each Sublicense Agreement, Subcontractor Agreement and End User License entered into by JD Finance or its Subsidiary Sublicensees, in each case in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall not contain any provision that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(y) solely to the extent of the applicable JD Group Companies’ right to grant such license; and

(b) Domain Name Usage Guidelines. The use by JD Finance and any of its Subsidiary Sublicensees and Permitted Subcontractors of the Licensed Domain Names shall at all times adhere to the then-current domain name usage guidelines, as such guidelines may be revised during the Term by the applicable JD Group Companies.

JD Finance agrees, during the Term, to maintain, and to cause its Subsidiary Sublicensees to maintain, a level of quality for the JD Finance Business Products, in connection with which JD Finance and its Subsidiary Sublicensees use, reproduce or display the Licensed Trademarks, that is at least as high as the level of quality of the comparable products and services in connection with which JD Finance and its Subsidiary Sublicensees use, reproduce or display Trademarks owned by the JD Finance Companies. JD Finance shall not use, nor permit the use of, and shall cause its Subsidiary Sublicensees not to use or permit the use of, the Licensed Trademarks, (i) in any manner that could otherwise reasonably be expected to impair, tarnish, dilute or otherwise damage the value and goodwill associated with the Licensed Trademarks, or any other Trademarks or Domains Names owned, held, or licensed by any JD Group Company, or that are in the process of registration or application for registration by any JD Group Company, anywhere in the world, or (ii) in connection with any unfair, misleading, illegal, vulgar, obscene, immoral or offensive materials, or any products or services that violate applicable Laws or are false or misleading.

(d) No Adverse Claim. JD Finance shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiary Sublicensees not to, and JD Finance shall not and shall cause its Subsidiary Sublicensees not to authorize any third Person to, at any time during the Term, assert any claim or interest in, or take any action which may in any way:

(ii) result in the harm or misuse of, bring into disrepute, or adversely affect JD Group Company’s rights or interest in and to, or

(iii) result in obtaining registrations in or otherwise challenge the validity of, or any JD Group Company’s ownership of or rights in:

(1) the Licensed Trademarks or (2) any other Trademark or Domain Name that is derivative of or similar to any Trademarks or Domain Names (including the Licensed Trademarks) owned, held, or licensed by any JD Group Company, both prior to and during the Term.

(e) Goodwill. All goodwill arising from JD Finance’s or its Subsidiary Sublicensees’ or Permitted Subcontractor’s use of the Licensed Trademarks will inure solely to the benefit of the applicable JD Group Company, and JD Finance and any applicable Subsidiary Sublicensee shall transfer and assign and do hereby transfer and assign to the applicable JD Group Company on an ongoing basis all such goodwill arising from the use of the Licensed Trademarks permitted hereunder.

Section 2.7 JDF Patents and JDF Improvements. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, JD Finance hereby grants to the JD Group Companies, and shall cause the applicable JD Finance Companies to grant to the JD Group Companies a worldwide, non-

In the event that either Party or its applicable Subsidiary licensor under this Agreement determines that, for regulatory or other reasons, a Providers Addendum (i) should be executed to confirm the grant of one or more of the licenses set forth in this Article II or (ii) is necessary in order for any JD Finance Company to comply with any of its payment obligations pursuant to Article V, then upon request of such Party, such Party or its applicable Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the other Party or its applicable Subsidiary, on the other hand, shall promptly execute such Providers Addendum in a form mutually agreed between the executing parties, and obtain all necessary authorizations or consents with respect to such Providers Addendum from applicable Governmental Authorities in order for each Party to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement. For clarity, the fact that a Providers Addendum may later be executed pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall not relieve JD Finance of any of its payment obligations hereunder with respect to the JD Finance Royalty or any other payments. In the event of any conflict between any Providers Addendum and any term or condition of this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

Section 2.10 No Other Grant. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to grant, directly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any right, license or covenant (a) from any JD Group Company to any JD Finance Company or third Person or (b) from any JD Finance Company to any JD Group Company or third Person.

Section 2.11 Injunctive Relief. JD Finance acknowledges that any material breach of the provisions of this Article II will result in irreparable harm to the JD Group Companies, and in such event the exact amount of damages will be difficult to ascertain and the remedies at law for such breach may not be adequate. Accordingly, in the event of any material breach of the provisions of this Article II by any JD Finance Company, JD Group, in addition to any other relief available to it at law, in equity or otherwise, shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief restraining such JD Finance Company from engaging in the conduct constituting such material breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond or other security.

Concurrently with such payment, the designated JD Finance Company shall provide to the applicable JD Group Company (i) a report detailing with reasonable specificity the basis for the JD Finance Royalty payments, (ii) a report detailing with reasonable specificity the basis for the Software Technology Services Fee, (iii) true and complete income statements of the revenues and expenses of the JD Finance Companies reflecting the consolidated Pre-Tax Income of the JD Finance Companies during the applicable fiscal year, and (iv) such additional information as the applicable JD Group Companies may reasonably request describing and further evidencing the calculation of the JD Finance Royalty or Software Technology Service Fee payments.

Section 5.6 Income Share Buyout Amount. Upon an Income Share Buyout Event, the fees and payments described in this Article V shall be reduced in accordance with their terms, in consideration of a lump-sum cash payment from JD Finance to the applicable JD Group Companies (the “Income Share Buyout Amount”) agreed in good faith between the Parties as the fair value of the projected decrease in the payments to be made pursuant to this Article V, to be paid at or prior to the Issuance related to the relevant Income Share Buyout Event.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 JD Finance Indemnification of JD Group. JD Finance agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless JD Group, its Subsidiaries and each of its and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents (the “JD Group Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, judgment, awards, liabilities, losses, costs or damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or relating to any claim by any third Person arising out of or relating to the use of, or the exercise of rights in and to, the Licensed IP by JD Finance, its Subsidiary Sublicensees, or its Permitted Subcontractors.

Section 8.2 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Promptly after receipt by JD Group of notice of the commencement or threatened commencement of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration, investigation or litigation, whether civil or criminal, at law or in equity, made or brought by a third Person (each a “Third Party Claim”), in respect of which JD Group will seek indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, JD Group shall notify JD Finance of such Third Party Claim in writing. No failure to so notify JD Finance shall relieve it of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that it can demonstrate that it was materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) JD Finance shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of notice to elect, at its option, to assume and control the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such Third Party Claim, and shall be entitled to assert any and all defenses available to the JD Group Companies to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided, however, that JD Finance shall have no right to assume and control, and JD Group shall at all times remain in sole control of (including selecting counsel), the defense of any Third Party Claim related to taxes. If JD Finance shall undertake to compromise or defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days of the receipt of notice from JD Group of such Third Party Claim, notify JD Group of its intention to do so, and JD Group shall cooperate with JD Finance and its counsel as reasonably requested in the compromise of, or defense against, any

26

such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that (A) JD Finance shall not settle, compromise or discharge, with respect to, any such Third Party Claim without JD Group’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) and (B) JD Finance shall not admit any liability with respect to any such Third Party Claim without JD Group’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned).

(i) Notwithstanding an election by JD Finance to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, JD Group or the applicable member of the JD Group Indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, and JD Finance shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (A) JD Group shall have determined in good faith that an actual or potential conflict of interest makes representation by the same counsel or the counsel selected by JD Finance inappropriate or (B) JD Finance shall have authorized JD Group to employ separate counsel at JD Finance’s expense.

(ii) JD Group, JD Finance, and their respective counsel shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to Section 8.1, keep such Persons informed of all developments relating to any such Third Party Claims, and provide copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation relating thereto, except as necessary to preserve attorney-client, work product and other applicable privileges. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the JD Group Companies’ cooperation shall be borne by JD Finance. In any event, JD Group or the applicable member of the JD Group Indemnitees shall have the right at its own expense to participate in the defense of such asserted liability.

(c) If JD Finance does not elect to defend a Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.2(b), or does not defend such Third Party Claim in good faith, the JD Group Companies shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy they may have hereunder, at JD Finance’s expense, to defend such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the JD Group Companies shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to, any such Third Party Claim without JD Finance’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

ARTICLE IX

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 9.1 Confidential Information. Each Party (the “Receiving Party”) shall use the same standard of care to prevent the public disclosure and dissemination of the Confidential Information of the other Party or its Subsidiaries (the “Disclosing Party”) as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own comparable Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” of a Party means confidential, non-public marketing plans, product plans, business strategies, financial information, forecasts, Personal Information, Highly Sensitive Information, customer lists and customer data, technical documents and information and any similar confidential, non-public materials and information, regarding such Party and its Subsidiaries, or their representatives or customers, disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party under or in connection with this Agreement, whether orally, electronically, in writing, or otherwise, including copies thereof, in each case to the extent expressly marked in writing as

27

“Confidential,” or, if disclosed orally, identified as confidential at the time of disclosure and set forth or summarized in a written document expressly marked as “Confidential” delivered to the Receiving Party no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the initial oral disclosure thereof, or, if not so marked or identified as “Confidential,” shall nevertheless be regarded as Confidential Information if a reasonable person under the circumstances would know the information is considered confidential by the Disclosing Party. Confidential Information of JD Group includes the Source Code and Object Code of the Licensed Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Confidential Information may be disclosed on an as needed basis to personnel or subcontractors (in the case of JD Finance, solely to Permitted Subcontractors) of the Receiving Party and its Subsidiaries solely as and to the extent required for the purpose of fulfilling the Receiving Party’s obligations or exercising the Receiving Party’s rights under any Transaction Document (including, in the case of the JD Group Companies, their rights to contract with other Persons for the procurement by the JD Group Companies of the Software Technology Services, (b) Confidential Information may be disclosed and used as expressly permitted pursuant to the Data Sharing Agreement, and (c) nothing in this Section 9.1 shall be deemed to prevent the JD Finance Companies from engaging in the JD Finance Business or the JD Group Companies from engaging in the business of the JD Group Companies or otherwise preventing the JD Finance Companies from exercising their rights in and to the Licensed IP. Nonetheless, each Receiving Party (x) shall, except as expressly permitted by the Data Sharing Agreement, limit the disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to third Persons to what is necessary for a reasonable purpose in the conduct of the business of the Receiving Party (including its Subsidiaries), and (y) shall not disclose any Highly Sensitive Information to any third Persons, except as expressly permitted in the Data Sharing Agreement. Each Receiving Party shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that any such Confidential Information disclosed to any personnel or subcontractors in accordance with this Section 9.1 is treated as confidential by the personnel, Subsidiary Sublicensees, Permitted Subcontractors, and JD Finance End Users to whom it is disclosed, and shall require the foregoing to enter into an agreement which imposes confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Confidential Information than those imposed under this Agreement.

Section 9.2 Permitted Disclosures. The provisions of this Article IX shall not apply to any Confidential Information which: (a) is or becomes commonly known within the public domain other than by breach of this Agreement or any other agreement that the Disclosing Party has with any Person; (b) is obtained from a third Person who is lawfully authorized to disclose such information free from any obligation of confidentiality; (c) is independently developed without reference to or use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (d) is rightfully known to the Receiving Party without any obligation of confidentiality prior to its receipt from the Disclosing Party.

Section 9.3 Disclosure in Compliance with Law. Nothing in this Article IX shall prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information where it is required to be disclosed by judicial, administrative, governmental, or regulatory process in connection with any Proceeding, or otherwise by applicable Law; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall, if legally permitted, give the Disclosing Party reasonable advance notice as soon as possible of such required disclosure so as to enable the Disclosing Party to seek relief from such disclosure requirement or measures to protect the confidentiality of the disclosure.

28

Section 9.4 Restricted Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require either Party or its Subsidiaries to disclose to the other Party or its Subsidiaries any information, communications or documents that are protected by attorney-client privilege, work product privilege or are protected under similar legal principles in foreign jurisdictions, Personal Information, or any other information or data where such disclosure would be prohibited by applicable Law, including PRC Laws relating to payment data security or state economic security.

Section 9.5 Confidentiality of the Licensed IP. In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 2.4(c), JD Finance and its Subsidiary Sublicensees shall comply with the obligations set forth in this Section 9.5 with respect to the Licensed Software. JD Finance and the Subsidiary Sublicensees shall take reasonable steps, during and after the Term with respect to Licensed Software, to ensure that no unauthorized copy, in whole or in part, of the Licensed Software will be made available to any third Person. JD Finance and the Subsidiary Sublicensees shall use the Licensed Software disclosed to each of them hereunder under carefully controlled conditions, shall distribute such Licensed Software only to each of its respective employees with a need to have access thereto, and solely to the extent necessary to exercise their license or sublicense rights set forth in this Agreement, and JD Finance and each Subsidiary Sublicensee shall observe, at a minimum, the same level of security, copy restrictions and non-disclosure as it exercises with respect to confidential Licensed Software and related documentation for each of their own products, which in no event shall be less than a reasonable degree of care. JD Finance shall be fully responsible for the conduct of its employees, agents, representatives, Subsidiary Sublicensees and Permitted Subcontractors who may in any way breach this Agreement, and JD Finance shall immediately notify JD Group of any known breach of this Agreement including any act or omission by any Subsidiaries of JD Finance that, if committed by JD Finance, would constitute a breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Disclosure. The terms of this Agreement are confidential information and shall not be disclosed by a Party to any Person that is not a Party or a Subsidiary of a Party without prior written consent from the other Party, except that nothing herein shall prevent a Party from (a) disclosing or acknowledging the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the Parties, and the existence of Licensed Software or Licensed Other Materials (but not the particular Licensed Software or Licensed Other Materials), (b) disclosing the terms of this Agreement (including the financial terms) in confidence to such Party’s legal counsel and professional advisors, tax preparers, accountants, auditors, insurers, and directors, (c) disclosing the terms of this Agreement (including the financial terms) as required by any Law or court order, but only to the extent required to comply with such Law or order and only after providing reasonable advance notice to the other Party to allow such Party to contest such disclosure, or (d) disclosing in confidence to a third Person affected by this Agreement (e.g., a customer or potential successor party) the terms and conditions relevant to such third Person, including the identity of particular Licensed Software or Licensed Other Materials.

Section 15.4 Counterparts and Exchanges by Electronic Transmission or Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts and such counterparts may be delivered in electronic format (including by email), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 15.5 Arbitration.

(a) Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination hereof or thereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted, except as they may be modified by mutual agreement of the Parties. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong; provided, that the arbitrators may hold hearings in such other locations as the arbitrators determine to be most convenient and efficient for all of the parties to such arbitration under the circumstances. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

34

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators. The Party (or the parties, acting jointly, if there is more than one (1)) initiating arbitration (the “Claimant”) shall appoint an arbitrator in its request for arbitration (the “Request”). The other Party (or the other parties, acting jointly, if there is more than one (1)) to the arbitration (the “Respondent”) shall appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Request and shall notify the Claimant of such appointment in writing. If, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Request by the Respondent, either Party has not appointed an arbitrator, then that arbitrator shall be appointed by the HKIAC. The first two (2) arbitrators appointed in accordance with this provision shall appoint a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the Respondent has notified Claimant of the appointment of the Respondent’s arbitrator or, in the event of a failure by a Party to appoint, within thirty (30) days after the HKIAC has notified the Parties and any arbitrator already appointed of the appointment of an arbitrator on behalf of the Party failing to appoint. When the third (3rd) arbitrator has accepted the appointment, the two (2) arbitrators making the appointment shall promptly notify the Parties of the appointment. If the first two (2) arbitrators appointed fail to appoint a third (3rd) arbitrator or so to notify the Parties within the time period prescribed above, then the HKIAC shall appoint the third (3rd) arbitrator and shall promptly notify the Parties of the appointment. The third (3rd) arbitrator shall act as chair of the tribunal.

(c) The arbitral award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding on the Parties and the parties thereto. The award may include an award of costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. In addition to monetary damages, the arbitral tribunal shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement. The arbitral tribunal is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any dispute, except insofar as a claim is for indemnification for an award of punitive damages awarded against a Party in an action brought against it by an independent third Person. The arbitral tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at commercial rates. Any costs, fees or taxes incident to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, be charged against the Party resisting such enforcement. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets.

(d) In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any Party to the arbitration Proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may, within ninety (90) days of its appointment, consolidate the arbitration Proceeding with any other arbitration Proceeding involving any of the Parties relating to the Transaction Documents. The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the Proceedings, so that a consolidated Proceeding would be more efficient than separate Proceedings and (ii) no Party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. In the event of different rulings on this question by the arbitration tribunal constituted hereunder and any tribunal constituted under these Transaction Documents, the ruling of the tribunal constituted under the Framework Agreement shall govern, and that tribunal shall decide all disputes in the consolidated Proceeding.

(e) The Parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the Proceeding and any element of it (including any pleadings, briefs or

35

other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, the HKIAC, the parties, their counsel and any person necessary to the conduct of the Proceeding, except as may be lawfully required in judicial Proceedings relating to the arbitration or otherwise, or as required by NASDAQ rules or the rules of any other quotation system or exchange on which the disclosing Party’s Equity Securities are listed or applicable Laws.

(f) The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the losing Party unless otherwise determined by the arbitration award.

(g) All payments made pursuant to the arbitration decision or award and any judgment entered thereon shall be made in U.S. Dollars (or, if a payment in U.S. Dollars is not permitted by Law and if mutually agreed upon by the Parties, in Renminbi), free from any deduction, offset or withholding for taxes.

(h) Notwithstanding this Section 15.5 or any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party shall be obligated to follow the foregoing arbitration procedures where such Party intends to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an interim injunction or similar equitable relief against any other Party; provided, that there is no unreasonable delay in the prosecution of that application. Neither of the Parties shall institute a proceeding in any court or administrative agency to resolve a dispute arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, except for a court proceeding to compel arbitration or otherwise enforce this agreement to arbitrate, to enforce an order or award of the arbitration tribunal or petition for the provisional or emergency remedies provided for herein. The Parties waive objection to venue and consent to the nonexclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore in any action to enforce this arbitration agreement, any order or award of the arbitration tribunal or the provisional or emergency remedies provided for herein. In any such permitted court action, the Parties agree that delivery of the complaint or petition by international courier, with proof of delivery, shall constitute valid and sufficient service, and they individually and collectively waive any objection to such service.

Section 15.6 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE UNDER, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 15.7 Assignment. No Party shall transfer this Agreement, or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any purported transfer, assignment or delegation by a Party without the appropriate prior written approval will be null and void and of no force or effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement is binding upon the Parties’ successors, heirs and assigns.

Section 15.8 Specific Performance. Each Party agrees that: (a) in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the other Party of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement, such Party will be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to seek (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach and (b) no Party will be required to

36

provide any bond or other security in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related Proceeding.

Section 15.9 Waiver. No failure on the part of either Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, will operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No Party will be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party; and any such waiver will not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

Section 15.10 Amendments. No amendment, waiver, or discharge hereof (including any exhibit or schedule hereto) shall be valid unless in writing and signed (a) by the Party against which such amendment, waiver or discharge is sought to be enforced, and (b) in the case of JD Group, with respect to amendments of this Agreement (including any amendments to the JD Finance Royalty and the Software Technology Services Fee) and waivers or discharges of any material right of JD Group or obligations of JD Finance under this Agreement, including those pertaining to Article V, after obtaining consent of the JD Group Audit Committee.

Section 15.11 Severability. Each provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a material and integral part hereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 15.11, in the event of a final determination of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement (and any other Transaction Documents, as applicable) or to enter into new agreements to replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and enforceable provisions providing the Parties with benefits, rights and obligations that are equivalent in all material respects as provided by the Agreement (and any other Transaction Documents, as applicable) as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) had been valid, legal and enforceable. In the event the Parties are not able to reach agreement on such amendments or new agreements, then the arbitrators (pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 15.5 of this Agreement) shall determine, as part of their arbitral award, such amendments or new agreements such to provide the Parties with benefits, rights and obligations that are equivalent in all material respect as provided by the Agreement as if the stricken provision(s) had been valid, legal and enforceable. No Party shall, or shall permit any of its Related Parties to, directly or indirectly assert that any provision of any Transaction Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Section 15.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all provisions of any Transaction Documents referred to herein, including all schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto, sets forth the entire understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among or between any of the Parties relating to the subject matter thereof. To the extent there is any inconsistency between (a) provision of the Framework Agreement or another Transaction Document that pertains to the subject matter of this Agreement and (b) a provision of this Agreement that is more specific or detailed with respect to such subject matter, then the provision of this Agreement shall govern and control.

Otherwise, the provision of the Framework Agreement, or of the other Transaction Document (provided it is not inconsistent with a more specific or detailed provision of the Framework Agreement), shall govern and control to the extent of such inconsistency.

Section 15.13 Further Assurances.
