corporation (the “Parent”), Zhaoheng
Investment Limited (BVI), a British Virgin Islands corporation (the “Company”), and
Xxxxxxxx Xx, the sole stockholder of the Company signatory hereto (the “Stockholder”). Each
of the parties to this Agreement are individually referred to herein as a “Party” and

BACKGROUND
The
Company has one common share (including any future shares acquired by the
Stockholder and any purchase option, call option, right of first refusal,
preemptive right, subscription right or any similar right granted to the
Stockholder relating to transactions on or before the date hereof, the “Company Stock”)
issued and outstanding, which is held by the Stockholder. The Stockholder has
agreed to transfer his share of Company Stock in exchange for the issuance of an
aggregate of 69,686,970 shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share,
of the Parent (the “Parent
Stock”), which Parent Stock shall be issued to Embedded
Internet Solutions Limited, a Cayman Islands company wholly-owned by the
Stockholder (“Embedded
Internet”). The Parent Stock, together with 572,170 shares of
Common Stock acquired by Embedded Internet pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement dated as of May 13, 2008 by and among Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
and Embedded Internet, constitute approximately 98% of the issued and
outstanding common stock of the Parent on a fully-diluted basis as of and
immediately after the Closing as defined in Section 1.02. The number of shares
of Parent Stock to be received by Embedded Internet, as nominee for the
Stockholder, is listed opposite the Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A attached to
this Agreement. The aggregate number of shares of Parent Stock that is reflected
on Exhibit A is
referred to herein as the “Shares”.
The
exchange of Company Stock for Parent Stock is intended to constitute a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended or
such other tax free reorganization exemptions that may be available under the
Code.
The Board
of Directors of the Parent and the Company have determined that it is desirable
to effect this plan of reorganization and share exchange.

adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any

upon the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a violation of
or default under) any Contract to which it is a party or by which it or any of
its properties or assets is bound, except for violations or defaults that would
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a
Company Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION
3.12. Title to Properties.
Except as set forth in the Disclosure Letter, the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries do not own any real property. Each of the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries has sufficient title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of
its properties and assets used in the conduct of its businesses. All such assets
and properties, other than assets and properties in which the Company or any of
the Company Subsidiaries has leasehold interests, are free and clear of all
Liens other than those set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter and except for
Liens that, in the aggregate, do not and will not materially interfere with the
ability of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to conduct business as
currently conducted.
SECTION
3.13. Intellectual
Property. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries own, or are validly
licensed or otherwise have the right to use, all patents, patent rights,

service xxxx rights, copyrights and other proprietary intellectual property
rights and computer programs (collectively, “Intellectual Property
Rights”) which are material to the conduct of the business of the Company
and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Company Disclosure Letter
sets forth a description of all Intellectual Property Rights which are material
to the conduct of the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken
as a whole. There are no claims pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened that the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is infringing or
otherwise adversely affecting the rights of any person with regard to any
Intellectual Property Right. To the knowledge of the Company, no person is
infringing the rights of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries with
respect to any Intellectual Property Right.
SECTION
3.14. Labor Matters.
Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter, there are no collective
bargaining or other labor union agreements to which the Company or any of the
Company Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound. No material
labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with
respect to any of the employees of the Company.
SECTION
3.15. Financial
Statements. Prior to the Closing the Company will deliver to the Parent
its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2007, and 2006 (collectively, the “Company Financial
Statements”). Upon delivery, the Company Financial Statements will have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”)
applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated. The Company
Financial Statements will fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition and operating results of the Company, as of the dates, and for the
periods, indicated therein. The Company will not have any material liabilities
or obligations, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in
the ordinary course of business subsequent to December 31, 2007, and (ii)
obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of
business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be
reflected in the Company Financial Statements, which, in both cases,
individually and in the aggregate would not be reasonably expected to result in
a Company Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION
3.16. Insurance. Except as
set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company and its subsidiaries are
insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against
such
losses
and risks in accordance with any applicable laws under their respective
jurisdictions of organization and in such amounts as are customary in the
businesses in which the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged and in the
geographic areas where they engage in such businesses. The Company has no reason
to believe that it will not be able to renew its and its subsidiaries’ existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar
coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business on
terms consistent with market for the Company’s and such subsidiaries’ respective
lines of business.
SECTION
3.17. Transactions With Affiliates
and Employees. Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter and
Company Financial Statements, none of the officers or directors of the Company
and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is
presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any subsidiary (other
than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract,
agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or
by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise
requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such
employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or
partner.
SECTION
3.18. Internal Accounting
Controls. The Company and its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal
accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i)
transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and
procedures for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures
to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its
subsidiaries, is made known to the officers by others within those entities. The
Company’s officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls
and procedures. Since December 31, 2007, there have been no significant changes
in the Company’s internal controls or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other
factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal
controls.
SECTION
3.19. Solvency. Based on
the financial condition of the Company as of the closing date (and assuming that
the closing shall have occurred), (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of
the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year
as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs
taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business
conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital
availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together
with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be
sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are
required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its
ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and
amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
SECTION
3.20. Application of Takeover
Protections. The Company has taken all necessary action, if any, in order
to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination,
poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other
similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s charter documents or the
laws of the British Virgin Islands that
is or
could become applicable to the Stockholder as a result of the Stockholder and
the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares and the
Stockholder’s ownership of the Shares.
SECTION
3.21. No Additional
Agreements. The Company does not have any agreement or understanding with
the Stockholder with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
other than as specified in this Agreement.
SECTION
3.22. Investment Company.
The Company is not, and is not an affiliate of, and immediately following the
Closing will not have become, an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
SECTION
3.23. Disclosure. All

the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Company
(including the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement) are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the

None of the information supplied or to be supplied by the Company for inclusion

statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of

or Events. Except as disclosed in the Company Financial Statements or in
the Company Disclosure Letter, from December 31, 2007 to the date of this
Agreement, the Company has conducted its business only in the ordinary course,
and during such period there has not been:

necessary
to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to

material adverse effect on Parent, a material adverse effect on the ability of
Parent to perform its obligations under this Agreement or on the ability of
Parent to consummate the Transactions (a “Parent Material Adverse
Effect”). Parent is duly
qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business

a party or otherwise bound. There are not any bonds, debentures, notes or other
indebtedness of Parent having the right to vote (or convertible into, or

is a party or by which it is bound (i) obligating Parent to issue, deliver or
sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of
capital stock or other equity interests in, or any security convertible or
exercisable for or exchangeable into any capital stock of or other equity
interest in, Parent or any Voting Parent Debt, (ii) obligating Parent to issue,
grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right,
security, commitment, Contract, arrangement or undertaking or (iii) that give

capital stock of the Parent. As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any
outstanding contractual obligations of Parent to repurchase, redeem or otherwise
acquire any shares of capital stock of Parent. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.03,
the Parent is not a party to any agreement granting any
securityholder of the Parent the right to cause the Parent to register shares of
the capital stock or other securities of the Parent held by such securityholder
under the Securities Act. The stockholder list to be provided at closing to the
Company shall be a current shareholder list generated by its stock transfer
agent, and such list shall accurately reflect all of the issued and outstanding
shares of the Parent’s Common Stock.
SECTION
4.04. Authority; Execution and
Delivery; Enforceability. The execution and
delivery by the Parent of this Agreement and the consummation by the Parent of
the
Transactions have been duly authorized and approved by the Board

without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of
termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a

expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
(b)
No Consent of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or
permit from, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by or

performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, other
than the (A) filing with the SEC of a 14f-1 Notice and (B) filing with the SEC
of reports under Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act, and (C) filings under

Documents”).
(b)
As of its respective filing date, each Parent SEC Document
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such
Parent SEC Document, and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. Except to the extent that information
contained in any Parent SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later
filed Parent SEC Document, none of the Parent SEC Documents contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The consolidated
financial statements of Parent included in the Parent SEC Documents comply
as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and
the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been
prepared in accordance with the GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited
statements, as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC) applied on a
consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the
notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated financial position of Parent
and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated
results of their operations and cash flows for the periods shown (subject, in
the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments).
(c)
Except as set forth in the Filed Parent SEC Documents, Parent
has no liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute,
contingent or otherwise) required by GAAP to be set forth on a balance sheet of
Parent or in the notes thereto. The Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth all
financial and contractual obligations and liabilities (including any obligations
to issue capital stock or other securities of the parent) due after the date
hereof. As of the date hereof the Parent has total liabilities of less than
$35,000, all of which liabilities shall be paid off at or prior to the Closing
and shall in no event remain liabilities of the Parent, the Company or the
Stockholder following the Closing.
SECTION
4.07. Information
Supplied. None of the
information supplied or to be supplied by Parent for inclusion or incorporation
by reference in the 14f-1 Notice will, at the date it is first mailed to the
Parent’s stockholders, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they are made, not misleading.
SECTION
4.08. Absence of Certain Changes
or Events. Except as disclosed
in the Filed Parent SEC Documents or in the Parent Disclosure Letter, from the
date of the most recent audited financial statements included in the Filed
Parent SEC Documents to the date of this Agreement, Parent has conducted its
business only in the ordinary course, and during such period there has not
been:

any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or
operating results of the Parent from that reflected in the Parent SEC Documents,

insurance, that would have a Parent Material Adverse Effect;

any waiver or compromise by the Parent of a valuable right or
of a material debt owed to it;

any satisfaction or discharge of any lien, claim, or
encumbrance or payment of any obligation by the Parent, except in the ordinary
course of business and the satisfaction or discharge of which would not have a
Parent Material Adverse Effect;

any material change to a material Contract by which the Parent
or any of its assets is bound or subject;
(f)
any material change in any compensation arrangement or
agreement with any employee, officer, director or stockholder;

lien, created by the Parent, with respect to any of its material properties or

ownership or use of such property or assets;
(i)
any loans or guarantees made by the Parent to or for the
benefit of its employees, officers or directors, or any members of their
immediate families, other than travel advances and other advances made in the

any declaration, setting aside or payment or other
distribution in respect of any of the Parent’s capital stock, or any direct or
indirect redemption, purchase, or other acquisition of any of such stock by the
Parent;
(k)
any alteration of the Parent’s method of accounting or the
identity of its auditors;
(l)
any issuance of equity securities to any officer, director or
affiliate, except pursuant to existing Parent stock option plans;

Except as set forth in Schedule 4.09, Parent has timely
filed, or has caused to be timely filed on its behalf, all Tax Returns required
to be filed by it, and all such Tax Returns are true, complete and accurate,
except to the extent any failure to file or any inaccuracies in any filed Tax
Returns, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably
be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. All Taxes shown to be due
on such Tax Returns, or otherwise owed, has been timely paid, except to the
extent that any failure to pay, individually or in the aggregate, has not had
and would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse
Effect.
(b)
The most recent financial statements contained in the Filed Parent
SEC Documents reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes payable by Parent (in
addition to any reserve for deferred Taxes to reflect timing differences between
book and Tax items) for all Taxable periods and portions thereof through the
date of such financial statements. No deficiency with respect to any Taxes has
been proposed, asserted or assessed against Parent, and no requests for waivers
of the time to assess any such Taxes are pending, except to the extent any
such deficiency or request for waiver, individually or in the aggregate, has not
had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse
Effect.
(c) There are no Liens for Taxes (other than
for current Taxes not yet due and payable) on the assets of Parent. Parent is
not bound by any agreement with respect to Taxes.
SECTION

which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of this Agreement or the Shares or (ii) could, if there
were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Neither
the Parent nor any subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof (in his or
her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any Action involving a
claim or violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a
claim of breach of fiduciary duty.
SECTION
4.13. Compliance with Applicable
Laws.
Parent is in compliance with all applicable Laws, including those relating to
occupational health and safety and the environment, except for instances of
noncompliance that, individually and in the aggregate, have not had and would
not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Except as
set forth in the Filed Parent SEC Documents or in the Parent Disclosure Letter,
Parent has not received any written communication during the past two years from
a Governmental Entity that alleges that Parent is not in compliance in any
material respect with any applicable Law. The Parent is in compliance with all
effective requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended, and the
rules and regulations thereunder, that are applicable to it, except where such
noncompliance could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Parent
Material Adverse Effect. This Section 4.13 does not relate to matters with
respect to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 4.09.
SECTION
4.14. Contracts. Except as disclosed
in the Parent Filed SEC Documents, there are no Contracts that are material to
the business, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise), results of
operations or prospects of the Parent taken as a whole. Parent is not in
violation of or in default under (nor does there exist any condition which
upon the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a violation of
or default under) any Contract to which it is a party or by which it or any of
its properties or assets is bound, except for violations or defaults that
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION
4.15. Title to
Properties. Parent has good
title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets used
in the conduct of its businesses. All such assets and properties, other than
assets and properties in which the Parent has leasehold interests, are free and
clear of all Liens other than those set forth in the Parent Disclosure Letter
and except for Liens that, in the aggregate, do not and will not materially
interfere with the ability of the Parent to conduct business as currently
conducted. Parent has complied in all material respects with the terms of all
material leases to which it is a party and under which it is in occupancy, and

of the Parent taken as a whole. Except as set forth in the Parent Disclosure
Letter no claims are pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent, threatened that
the Parent is infringing or otherwise adversely affecting the rights of any
person with regard to any Intellectual Property Right. To the knowledge of the
Parent, no person is infringing the rights of the Parent with respect to any
Intellectual Property Right.
SECTION
4.17. Labor Matters. There are no

market makers to continue as market makers of the Parent.
SECTION

Affiliates and
Employees. Except as set forth
in the Filed Parent SEC Documents and Parent Disclosure Letter, none of the
officers or directors of the Parent and, to the knowledge of the Parent, none of
the employees of the Parent is presently a party to any transaction with the
Parent or any subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and
directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for
the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer,
director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Parent, any entity in
which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or
is an officer, director, trustee or partner.
SECTION
4.20. Internal Accounting
Controls. The Parent
maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability,
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general
or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences. The Parent has established disclosure
controls and procedures for the Parent and designed such disclosure controls and
procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Parent is made
known to the officers by others within those entities. The Parent’s officers
have evaluated the effectiveness of the Parent’s controls and procedures. Since
December 31, 2007, there have been no significant changes in the Parent’s
internal controls or, to the Parent’s knowledge, in other factors that could
significantly affect the Parent’s internal controls.
SECTION
4.21. Solvency. Based on the
financial condition of the Parent as of the closing date (and assuming that the
closing shall have occurred), (i) the Parent’s fair saleable value of its assets
exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the
Parent’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Parent’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year
as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs
taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business
conducted by the Parent, and projected capital requirements and capital
availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Parent, together
with the proceeds the Parent would receive, were it to liquidate all of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be
sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are
required to be paid. The Parent does not intend to incur debts beyond its
ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and
amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
SECTION
4.22. Application of Takeover
Protections. The Parent has
taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control
share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution
under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the
Parent’s charter documents or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or
could become applicable to the Stockholder as a result of the Stockholder and
the Parent fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares and the
Stockholder’s ownership of the Shares.

provided to the Stockholder regarding the Parent, its business and the
transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Parent
(including the Parent’s representations and warranties set forth in this

Matters. The Parent has
not granted or agreed to grant to any person any rights (including “piggy-back”
registration rights) to have any securities of the Parent registered with the
SEC or any other governmental authority that have not been
satisfied.
SECTION
4.27. Listing and Maintenance
Requirements. The Parent is, and
has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to
be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued
listing of the Parent Stock on the trading market on which the Parent Stock are
currently listed or quoted. The issuance and sale of the Shares under this

which the Parent Stock are currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the
stockholders of the Parent is required for the Parent to issue and deliver to
the Stockholder the Shares contemplated by this Agreement.

Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. No event,
liability, development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is
contemplated to occur with respect to the Parent, its subsidiaries or their
respective business, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition,

issuance and sale by the Parent of its Common Stock and which has not been
publicly announced.

Practices. Neither the Parent,

of its subsidiaries has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, the
Parent (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift,
entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (ii)

government official or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in

independent contractors, employees and other Persons material to the operation

mutual written consent at any time prior to the

representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any
material respect, the Parent has notified the Company and/or the
Stockholder of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a
period of twenty days after the notice of breach, or (B) if the Closing
shall not have occurred on or before May 15, 2008 by reason of the failure

|
(iii)
|
The

breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this
Agreement).
|
(b)
Effect of
Termination. If any Party
terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.03(a) above, all rights and
obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any Liability of
any Party to any other Party to consummate its obligations hereunder or to

Liability of any Party then in breach.
SECTION
8.04. Power of Attorney. The Stockholder
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Company and any officer or agent
of the Company, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead of the Stockholder or in the Company’s own name, for the purpose of
carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action
and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or
useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on
behalf of the Stockholder, without notice to or assent by the Stockholder to
transfer any future shares acquired by the Stockholder and any purchase
option, call option, right of first refusal, preemptive right, subscription
right or any similar right granted to the Stockholder relating to transactions
on or before the date hereof.
SECTION
8.05. Replacement of
Securities. If any certificate
or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Parent shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and
upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new
certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Parent of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or
instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party
costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares. If a replacement
certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is requested due to a mutilation
thereof, the Parent may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or
instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a
replacement.
SECTION

being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law,
including recovery of damages, the Stockholder, Parent and the Company
will
be
entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The Parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and
hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such
obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
SECTION
8.07. Indemnification;
Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Indemnification. For
a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx (collectively, the “Indemnitor”) hereby
agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Parent (and their
respective directors, officers, managers, partners, members, shareholders,
affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) (an "indemnified party")
from and against any and all claims, causes of action, losses, liabilities,
deficiencies, costs, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) and fees incurred by the
indemnified party as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the
representations, warranties or covenants made by the Parent herein, including,
without limitation, (i) any payment upon any taxes, penalties or interest owed
with respect to such taxes arising from the Parent’s failure to file the tax
returns prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) any amounts owed to
creditors of the Parent which are not covered by the Settlements described in
Section 5.02(k). The obligations of the Indemnitor hereunder
are partially secured by the indemnified party’s interest in the Indemnitors’
shares of Parent Stock (the “Escrow Shares”) being
held pursuant to the terms of the Securities Escrow Agreement dated as of May
13, 2008 (the “Securities Escrow
Agreement”). In the event an Indemnitor defaults on his
obligation to make a payment under this Section 8.07, the indemnified party may
elect to claim the Escrow Shares by providing notice to the escrow agent and the
Indemnitor.
(b)
|
Indemnification
Procedure.
|
(i)
|
The
indemnified party will give written notice to the Indemnitor of any matter
giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the
failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice
as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations
under this Section 8.07 except to the extent that the Indemnitor is
actually prejudiced by such failure to give
notice.
|
(ii)
|
In
case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an
indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder,
the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the
reasonable judgment of the Indemnitor a conflict of interest between it
and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding
or claim (in which case the Indemnitor shall be responsible for the
reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified
parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the
Indemnitor advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim
for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of
receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person
of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and
expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at
any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may,
at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action
or claim. In any event, unless and until the Indemnitor elects
in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim,
proceeding or action, the indemnified party's costs and expenses arising
out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or
proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification
hereunder.
|
(iii)
|
The
indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor in connection
with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
Indemnitor and shall furnish to the Indemnitor all information reasonably
available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or
claim.
|
(iv)
|
The
Indemnitor shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as
to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect
thereto. If the Indemnitor elects to defend any such action or
claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such
defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and
expense.
|
(v)
|
The
Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or
proceeding effected without its prior written
consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.07 to the
contrary, the Indemnitor shall not, without the indemnified party's prior
written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any
judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the
indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term
thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified
party of a release from all liability in respect of such
claim.
|
(vi)
|
The
indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by
this Section 8.07 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof
during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are
received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the
indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to
indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein
shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the
indemnified party against the Indemnitor or others, and (b) any
liabilities the Indemnitor may be subject to pursuant to the
law. No Indemnitor will be liable to the indemnified party
under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss,
claim, damage or liability is attributable to the indemnified party’s
breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such
party in this Agreement.
|
SECTION
8.08. Limitation of
Liability. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, each of the Parent and the Company acknowledge
and agree that the liability of Stockholder arising directly or indirectly,
under any transaction document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be
satisfied solely out of the assets of Stockholder, and that no trustee, officer,
other investment vehicle or any other affiliate of Stockholder or any investor,
shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of Stockholder shall be
personally liable for any liabilities of Stockholder.
SECTION
8.09. Interpretation. When a reference is
made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of
this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”,
“includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be
followed by the words “without limitation”.
SECTION
8.10. Severability. If any term or
other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being
enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and
provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect
so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions contemplated
hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such
determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable
of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this
Agreement so as to effect the
original
intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end
that Transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent
possible.
SECTION
8.11. Counterparts; Facsimile
Execution. This Agreement may
be executed in one or more counterparts, 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 Parties.
Facsimile execution and delivery of this Agreement is legal, valid and binding
for all purposes.
SECTION
8.12. Entire Agreement; Third
Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement,
taken together with the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure
Letter, (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements
and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the
Transactions and (b) are not intended to confer upon any person other than the
Parties any rights or remedies.
SECTION
8.13. Governing Law. This Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable
principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees (i) that it is and shall continue to be
subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of the
federal courts sitting in the State of New York, and (ii)(A) to the extent that
such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of New
York, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of New York as such party’s
agent for acceptance of legal process and notify the other parties hereto of the
name and address of such agent, and (B) to the fullest extent permitted by law,
that service of process may also be made on such party by prepaid certified mail
with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the U.S. Postal Service
constituting evidence of valid service, and that, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, service made pursuant to (ii)(A) or (B) above shall
have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally
within the State of New York.
SECTION
8.14. Assignment. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests
or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by
operation of law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written
consent of the other Parties. Any purported assignment without such consent
shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be
binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and
their respective successors and assigns.
