permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory
authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described
in the
SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits could not,
individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result
in a
Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received
any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any
such
permits.
13
(o) Title
to Assets.
The
Company and the Subsidiaries have valid land use rights for all real property
that is material to their respective businesses and good and marketable title
in
all personal property owned by them that is material to their respective
businesses, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as
do not
materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company
and
the Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the
Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance,
except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably
be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Patents
and Trademarks.
The
Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent
applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, licenses and other similar rights that are necessary or material
for
use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC
Reports and which the failure to so have could, individually or in the

or
infringes upon the rights of any Person. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports,
to the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are

current consultant, and no third-party joint developer of the Company or
any
Subsidiary has any Intellectual Property Rights made, developed, conceived,
created or written by the aforesaid employee or consultant during the period
of
his or her retention by the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be,
which
can be asserted against the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may
be.
(q) Insurance.
The
Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries
are
engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to
renew
its and the 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.
(r) Transactions
With Affiliates and Employees; Customers.
Except
as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and, to the knowledge of the Company,
none of the employees of the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, 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. No material customer of the Company or any Subsidiary has indicated
their intention to diminish their relationship with the Company or any
Subsidiary (as the case may be) and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
has
any knowledge from which it could reasonably conclude that any such customer
relationship may be adversely affected.
14
(s) Internal
Accounting Controls.
The
Company and the 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 GAAP 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 (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) for the Company and its Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure
controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the
Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers
by
others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the
Company’s Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case may be, is being prepared. The
Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s
controls and procedures in accordance with Item 307 of Regulation S-B under
the
Exchange Act for the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal
year-end (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”).
The
Company presented in its most recently filed Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB the
conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure
controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.
Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the
Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ internal controls (as such term is defined in
Item 308(c) of Regulation S-B under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s
knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s or its
Subsidiaries’ internal controls.
(t) Solvency.
Based
on the financial condition of the Company, including its Subsidiaries, 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).
(u) Certain
Fees.
Except
as described in Schedule
3.1(u),
no
brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries to any broker, financial advisor or consultant,
finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect
to
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Investors shall have
no
obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims (other
than
such fees or commissions owed by an Investor pursuant to written agreements
executed by such Investor which fees or commissions shall be the sole
responsibility of such Investor) made by or on behalf of other Persons for
fees
of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with
the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
15
(v) Certain
Registration Matters.
Assuming the accuracy of the Investors’ representations and warranties set forth
in Section 3.2(b)-(e), no registration under the Securities Act is required
for
the offer and sale of the Shares by the Company and the Selling Stockholder
Shares by the Selling Stockholders to the Investors under the Transaction
Documents. The Company is eligible to register its Common Stock for resale
by
the Investors under Form SB-2 promulgated under the Securities Act. Except
as
specified in Schedule
3.1(v),
the
Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any Person any rights (including
“piggy-back” registration rights) to have any securities of the Company
registered with the Commission or any other governmental authority that have
not
been satisfied.
(w) Listing
and Maintenance Requirements.
Except
as specified in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the two years preceding
the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market to the effect that
the
Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements
thereof. The Company 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 Common Stock on the
Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted. The
issuance and sale of the Shares and the sale of the Selling Stockholder Shares
by the Selling Stockholders under the Transaction Documents does not contravene
the rules and regulations of the Trading Market on which the Common Stock
is
currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the stockholders of the Company
thereunder is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Investors
the
Shares and for the Selling Stockholders to deliver to the Investors the Selling
Stockholder Shares as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(x) 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.
(y) 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 Articles of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or
the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable
to the
Investors as a result of the Investors, the Company and the Selling Stockholders
fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction
Documents, including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the Shares,
the Selling Stockholders delivery of the Selling Stockholder Shares and the
Investors’ ownership of the Securities.
(z) No
Additional Agreements.
Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has any agreement or understanding with any
Investor with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents other than as specified in the Transaction Documents.
16
(aa) Consultation
with Auditors.
The
Company has consulted its independent auditors concerning the accounting
treatment of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
and in
connection therewith has furnished such auditors complete copies of the
Transaction Documents.
(bb) Make
Good Shares.
Each
Make Good Pledgor is the sole record and beneficial owner of the 2007 Make
Good
Shares and 2008 Make Good Shares being deposited by such Make Good Pledgor
into
escrow pursuant to the Make Good Escrow Agreement and the terms hereof, and
holds such 2007 Make Good Shares and/or 2008 Make Good Shares free and clear
of
all Liens.
(cc) Company
Policies.
The
sale of the Selling Stockholder Shares by the Selling Stockholders does not
violate any policies or procedures established by the Company.
(dd) Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act.
Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any
agent
or other person acting on behalf of any of the Company or any Subsidiary,
has,
directly or indirectly, (i) used any funds, or will use any proceeds from
the
sale of the Securities, for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment
or
other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity,
(ii)
made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or
employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from
corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by
the
Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any Person acting on their behalf of
which
the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) has violated
in any
material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977,
as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(ee) PFIC.
Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is or intends to become a “passive foreign
investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(ff) OFAC.
Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any
director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate or Person acting on behalf
of the
Company or any Subsidiary is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions
administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury
Department (“OFAC”);
and
the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the sale
of the
Securities, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds
to any
Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person or entity, towards any
sales
or operations in Cuba, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Myanmar or any other country
sanctioned by OFAC or for the purpose of financing the activities of any
Person
currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.
(gg) Money
Laundering Laws.
The
operations of each of the Company and any Subsidiary are and have been conducted
at all times in compliance with the money laundering statutes of applicable
jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar
rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any
applicable governmental agency (collectively, the “Money
Laundering Laws”)
and no
action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency,
authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company and/or any Subsidiary
with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge
of the Company, threatened.
17

Representations and Warranties Relating to PKU.
(i) All
material consents, approvals, authorizations or licenses requisite under
PRC law
for the due and proper establishment and operation of PKU have been duly
obtained from the relevant PRC governmental authorities and are in full force
and effect.
(ii) All
filings and registrations with the PRC governmental authorities required

respect of PKU and its operations including, without limitation, the
registration with the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration of Industry
and Commerce, the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, tax bureau and
customs authorities have been duly completed in accordance with the relevant
PRC
rules and regulations, except where, the failure to complete such filings
and
registrations does not, and would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(iii) PKU
has
complied with all relevant PRC laws and regulations regarding the contribution
and payment of its registered share capital, the payment schedule of which
has
been approved by the relevant PRC governmental authorities. There are no
outstanding rights of, or commitments made by the Company or any Subsidiary
to
sell any equity interest in PKU.
(iv) PKU
is
not in receipt of any letter or notice from any relevant PRC governmental
authority notifying it of revocation of any licenses or qualifications issued
to
it or any subsidy granted to it by any PRC governmental authority for
non-compliance with the terms thereof or with applicable PRC laws, or the
need
for compliance or remedial actions in respect of the activities carried out
by
PKU, except such revocation does not, and would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(v) PKU
has
conducted its business activities within the permitted scope of business
or has
otherwise operated its business in compliance with all relevant legal
requirements and with all requisite licenses and approvals granted by competent
PRC governmental authorities other than such non-compliance that do not,

would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
As
to licenses, approvals and government grants and concessions requisite or
material for the conduct of any part of PKU’s business which is subject to
periodic renewal, the Company has no knowledge of any grounds on which such
requisite renewals will not be granted by the relevant PRC governmental

PRC laws and regulations in all material respects, including without limitation,
laws and regulations pertaining to welfare funds, social benefits, medical
benefits, insurance, retirement benefits, pensions or the like, other than
such
non-compliance that do not, and would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect.

The
Company represents and warrants that as of the Closing Date it will have
cash or
highly liquid debt securities with insignificant interest rate risk and with
original maturities from the date of purchase of approximately three months
or
less on hand of not less than $9,308,298. The Company has no intention to

(jj) Disclosure.
The
Company and each Subsidiary a party hereto confirm that neither it nor any
Person acting on its behalf has provided any Investor or its respective agents
or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material,
non-public information concerning the Company, the Subsidiaries or their
respective businesses, except insofar as the existence and terms of the proposed
transactions contemplated hereunder may constitute such information. The
Company
understands and confirms that the Investors will rely on the foregoing
representations and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of
the
Company. To the knowledge of the Company, the representations and warranties
of
each Selling Stockholder are true and correct in all material respects. All

or
their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished

any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
3.2. Representations
and Warranties of the Investors.
Each
Investor hereby, for itself and for no other Investor, represents and warrants
to the Company and the Selling Stockholders as follows:
(a) Organization;
Authority.
Such
Investor is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite
corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate
the
transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise
to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance
by such Investor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if such Investor is not a
corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable
like action, on the part of such Investor. Each of this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement has been duly executed by such Investor, and
when
delivered by such Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited

or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.
(b) Investment
Intent.
Such
Investor is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account for
investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling
such Securities or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to such
Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of
such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws.
Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall
be
deemed a representation or warranty by such Investor to hold the Securities
for
any period of time. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in
the
ordinary course of its business. Such Investor does not have any agreement
or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any
of the
Securities.

risks
of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company
and
the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of
operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to
enable
it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such
additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without
unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other
investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Investor or its representatives
or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to rely on the
truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents. Such
Investor acknowledges that notwithstanding the foregoing, any draft of the
Registration Statement to be filed in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby that was provided to such Investor prior to the date
hereof
was incomplete in the form distributed, and such Investor is not relying
on such
draft in making its decision to enter into the transactions contemplated
hereby.

the
Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and such Investor confirms
that it has not relied on the advice of any other Investor’s business and/or

none of such Persons has made any representations or warranties to such Investor
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.

to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of each
of
the Transaction Documents by the Selling Stockholders (to the extent such
Selling Stockholder is a party thereto) and the consummation by each of them
of
the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of each of the Selling Stockholders and no further action
is
required by the Selling Stockholders in connection with such authorization.
Each
Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed
by
each Selling Stockholder to the extent any such Selling Stockholder is a
party
thereto and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and binding obligation of each of the Selling Stockholders (as
applicable) enforceable against each of the Selling Stockholders (as applicable)
in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited
by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation
or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.
(b) No
Consents.
No
consent, approval, authorization or order of, or any filing or declaration
with
any court or governmental agency or body or other Person is required in
connection with the consummation by each Selling Stockholder of the transactions
on its part contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except (i) filings
as may be required under Sections 13(d) and 16(a) of the Exchange Act, and
(ii) those that have been made or obtained prior to the date of this
Agreement.
(c) No
Conflicts.
The
execution, delivery and performance by each Selling Stockholder of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not result in a breach
or
violation of, or constitute a default under (with or without notice or lapse
of
time), any stockholders agreement, voting trust agreement, pledge registration
rights agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Selling
Stockholder or any of its properties are bound or affected, and will not
violate
or conflict with any judgment, decree or order of any court or other
governmental agency or any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Selling
Stockholder, in each case such as could not have or result in a Material
Adverse
Effect.
(d) Certain
Registration Matters.
Assuming the accuracy of the Investors’ representations and warranties set forth
in Sections 3.2(b)-(d), no registration under the Securities Act is required
for
the purchase and sale of the Selling Stockholder Shares to the Investors
hereunder.
21
(e) Good
and Marketable Title.
Each
Selling Stockholder is the sole lawful record and sole beneficial owner of
all
of the Selling Stockholder Shares to be sold by it hereunder. Such Selling
Stockholder has good and marketable title to the Selling Stockholder Shares
to
be sold by it hereunder, free and clear of any Liens, except for restrictions
on
subsequent transfer imposed by United States securities laws. Upon consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Investors will have good and
marketable title to the Selling Stockholder Shares purchased by them, free
and
clear of all Liens created by or through such Selling Stockholder.
(f) Certain
Fees.
Except
as described in Schedule
3.3(f),
no
brokerage or finder's fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Selling
Stockholders to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement
agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Investors shall have no obligation with
respect to any fees or with respect to any claims (other than such fees or
commissions owed by an Investor pursuant to written agreements executed by
such
Investor which fees or commissions shall be the sole responsibility of such
Investor) made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated
in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.
(g) No
Additional Agreements.
The
Selling Stockholders do not have any agreement or understanding with any
Investor or with the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated
by
the Transaction Documents other than as specified in the Transaction
Documents.
(h) Company
Policies.
The
sale of the Selling Stockholder Shares by the Selling Stockholders does not
violate any policies or procedures established by the Company.
(i) Other
Representations.
The
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 3.1(h),
(i),
(j) and (k) as, and solely to the extent that, they relate to the Company
and
its Subsidiaries (other than Cabowise and PKU) prior to the consummation
of the
Exchange, are true and correct in all respects on the date hereof.
ARTICLE
4.
OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1. (a)
Securities
may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws.
In
connection with any transfer of the Securities other than pursuant to an
effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of an Investor
or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company
may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of
counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under
the
Securities Act.
(b) Certificates
evidencing the Securities will contain the following legend, until such time
as
they are not required under Section 4.1(c):
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO
AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR
TO
SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE
COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN
ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
22
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge,
and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities pursuant
to a
bona fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account
and, if
required under the terms of such agreement or account, such Investor may
transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.
Such
a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company
and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor
shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may
be
required in connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the
Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge.
At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such
reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may
reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities
including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement
under
Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the
Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders
thereunder through a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, as
appropriate. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c), any Securities
subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this Section
4.1(b)
shall continue to bear the legend set forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be
subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section
4.1(a).
(c) Certificates
evidencing Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend
set
forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) while a registration statement (including the
Registration Statement) covering such Securities is then effective, or (ii)
following a sale or transfer of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming
the transferee is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such
Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k). If an Investor shall
make a
sale or transfer of Securities either (x) pursuant to Rule 144 or (y) pursuant
to a registration statement and in each case shall have delivered to the
Company
or the Company’s transfer agent the certificate representing Securities
containing a restrictive legend which are the subject of such sale or transfer
and a representation letter in customary form (the
date
of such sale or transfer and Securities delivery being the “Share
Delivery Date”)
and (1)
the Company shall fail to deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor
a
certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive
or
other legends by the third Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date
and (2)
following such third Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date and prior
to the
time such Securities are received free from restrictive legends, the Investor,
or any third party on behalf of such Investor, purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction
of a
sale by the Investor of such Securities (a "Buy-In"),
then
the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor (for costs incurred either
directly by such Investor or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which
the
total purchase price paid for Common Stock as a result of the Buy-In (including
brokerage commissions, if any) exceed the proceeds received by such Investor
as
a result of the sale to which such Buy-In relates. The Investor shall provide
the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Investor
in
respect of the Buy-In. The Company may not make any notation on its records
or
give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.
23
4.2. Furnishing
of Information.
As long
as any Investor owns the Securities, the Company covenants to timely file
(or
obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace
period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof
pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as any Investor owns Securities, if
the
Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare
and furnish to the Investors and make publicly available in accordance with
Rule
144(c) such information as is required for the Investors to sell the Securities
under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further
action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by Rule 144.
4.3. Integration.
The
Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate
of
the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in
a
manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the
sale
of the Securities to the Investors, or that would be integrated with the
offer
or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any
Trading Market in a manner that would require stockholder approval of the
sale
of the Securities to the Investors.
4.4. Subsequent
Registrations.
The
Company may not file any registration statement (other than on Form S-8)
with
the Commission with respect to any securities of the Company prior to the
time
that all Securities are registered pursuant to one or more effective
Registration Statement(s), and the prospectuses forming a portion of such
Registration Statement(s) is available for the resale of all
Securities.
4.5. Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity.
By 9:00
a.m. (New York time) on the Trading Day following the execution of this

or
include the name of any Investor in any filing with the Commission (other
than
the Registration Statement and any exhibits to filings made in respect of
this
transaction in accordance with periodic filing requirements under the Exchange
Act) or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written
consent of such Investor, except to the extent such disclosure is required
by
law or Trading Market regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
execution of this Agreement and the Closing occur on the same date (or if
the
Closing occurs the day after the execution of this Agreement), then the Company
shall be permitted to file one Current Report on Form 8-K that discloses
the
execution of this Agreement and the Closing (including details with respect
to
the make good provision contained in Section 4.11 herein) on the next Trading
Day (or on the same Trading Day if the Closing occurs the day after the
execution of this Agreement).
24
4.6. Limitation
on Issuance of Future Priced Securities.
During
the six months following the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue any
“Future Priced Securities” as such term is described by NASD

4.7. Indemnification
of Investors.
In
addition to the indemnity provided in the Registration Rights Agreement,
the
Company and the Selling Stockholders hereby agree severally as to the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.3(a)-(h) and jointly
as to
the representation and warranty contained in Section 3.3(i), to the following
indemnification of the Investors:
(a) The
Company will indemnify and hold the Investors and their respective directors,
officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, an "Investor
Party")
harmless from any and all Losses that any such Investor Party may suffer
or
incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy
of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company
in
any Transaction Document. In addition to the indemnity contained herein,
the
Company will reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other
expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and travel
in
connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses
are
incurred.
(b) Each
Selling Stockholder will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold each
Investor Party harmless from any and all Losses that such Investor Party
may
suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach
or
inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by
such
Selling Stockholder in any Transaction Document. In addition, such Selling
Stockholder will reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable legal and
other expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and
travel
in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses
are
incurred.
(c) Each
Selling Stockholder will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold the
Company harmless from any and all Losses that the Company may suffer or incur
as
a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of
any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by such Selling Stockholder
in any Transaction Document or in the Share Exchange Agreement, dated on
or
about the date hereof, among the Company, Cabowise and the Selling Stockholders.
In addition, such Selling Stockholder will reimburse the Company for its
reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation,
preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection
therewith, as such expenses are incurred.
25
(d) Except
as
otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to
the
rights and obligations under this Section 4.7 shall be the same as those
set
forth in Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(e) Prior
to
the Closing, the Selling Stockholders shall enter into an escrow agreement
(the
“Escrow
Holdback Agreement”)
with
the Company, the Investors and Comerica Bank, as escrow agent (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investors), pursuant to which the
Selling Stockholders shall place an aggregate of $1,000,000 (the “Escrow
Amount”)
into
escrow for a period of twelve months following the Closing in order to secure
the Selling Stockholders’ indemnification obligations to the Company and the
Investors in this Section 4.7. The Escrow Amount set forth in this Section
4.7(e) is in addition to and does not limit in any manner or act as a cap
on the
indemnification obligations of the Selling Stockholders set forth in Section
4.7(b) and Section 4.7(c).
4.8. Non-Public
Information.
Each of
the Company and the Selling Stockholders covenant and agree that neither
they
nor any other Person acting on their behalf will provide any Investor or
its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes
material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Investor shall
have
executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such
information. Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders understand
and
confirm that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing representations
in
effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.9. Listing
of Securities.
The
Company agrees, (i) if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded
on
any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Securities,
and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable to cause the
Securities to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible,
and (ii) the Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue
the
listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply
in
all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations
under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
4.10. Use
of
Proceeds.
The
Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder for
working capital purposes and not for the satisfaction of any portion of the
Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables and accrued expenses in the
ordinary course of the Company’s business and consistent with prior practices),
or to redeem any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.
4.11. Make
Good Shares.
(a) Each
Make
Good Pledgor
agrees
that in
the
event that the after tax net income reported in the 2007 Annual Report is
less
than $4,000,000 (the “2007
Guaranteed ATNI”)
the
Make Good Pledgors will
transfer (in accordance with the Make Good Escrow Agreement) to the Investors
on
a pro-rata basis (determined by dividing each Investor’s Investment Amount by
the aggregate of all Investment Amounts delivered to the Company by the
Investors hereunder) for no consideration other than their part of their
respective Investment Amount at Closing, an
aggregate of 14,583,333 shares of Common Stock (as
equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends
or
similar transactions)
(the
“2007
Make Good Shares”).
In
the
event that either (i) the earnings per share reported in the 2008 Annual
Report
is less than $0.049 on
a
fully diluted basis (as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock
combinations, stock dividends or similar transactions) (the “2008
Guaranteed EPS”)
or
(ii) the after tax net income reported in the 2008 Annual Report is less
than
$8,000,000
(the
“2008
Guaranteed ATNI”),
the
Make Good Pledgors will transfer (in accordance with the Make Good Escrow
Agreement) to the Investors on a pro rata basis (determined by dividing each
Investor’s Investment Amount by the aggregate of all Investment Amounts
delivered to the Company by the Investors hereunder) for no consideration
other
than their part of their respective Investment Amount at Closing, an aggregate
of 14,583,333 shares of Common Stock (as
equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends
or
similar transactions)
(the
“2008
Make Good Shares”).
In
the
event that the
after
tax net income reported in the 2007 Annual Report is equal to or greater
than
the 2007 Guaranteed ATNI no
transfer of the 2007 Make Good Shares shall be required to be made by the
Make
Good Pledgors to the Investors and such 2007 Make Good Shares shall be returned
to the Make Good Pledgors in accordance with the Make Good Escrow
Agreement. In
the
event that both (i)
the
earnings per share reported in the 2008
Annual Report is
equal to
or greater than the 2008 Guaranteed EPS and (ii) the after tax net income
reported in the 2008 Annual Report is equal to or greater than the 2008
Guaranteed ATNI, no
transfer of the 2008 Make Good Shares shall be required to be made by the
Make
Good Pledgors to the Investors and such 2008 Make Good Shares shall be returned
to the Make Good Pledgors in accordance with the Make Good Escrow Agreement.
Any
such
transfer of the 2007 Make Good Shares or the 2008 Make Good Shares shall
be made
to the Investors or the Make Good Pledgors, as applicable, within 10
Business
Days after
the date
which
the
2007
Annual Report or 2008 Annual Report, as applicable, is filed with the
Commission. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties agree that for purposes of determining whether
or not
the 2007 Guaranteed ATNI, the 2008 Guaranteed EPS or the 2008 Guaranteed
ATNI
have been achieved, (i) the release of the 2007 Make Good Shares or the 2008
Make Good Shares to the Make Good Pledgors or any other Person designated
by
either of the Make Good Pledgors shall not be deemed to be an expense, charge,
or other deduction from revenues even though GAAP may require contrary
treatment, (ii) any
registration liquidated damages (other than liquidated damages which may
be
owing by the Company due to the Company’s failure to file a Registration
Statement by the applicable Filing Date (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement)) accrued or paid by the Company for any registration rights will
be
excluded from the calculation of after-tax net income and earnings per share
amounts, as applicable, and (iii) any increase in taxes payable by the Company
or any Subsidiary as a result of recently adopted PRC tax laws or any related
implementing regulations promulgated for the purpose of making more equal
the
tax treatment of foreign invested entities (including sino-foreign joint
ventures) and domestic entities shall not be included as an
expense.
26
(b) In
connection with the foregoing,
each
Make Good Pledgor
agrees
that within three Trading Days following the Closing, the
Make
Good Pledgors will
deposit all potential 2007 Make Good Shares and 2008 Make Good Shares into
escrow in accordance with the Make Good Escrow Agreement along with bank
signature stamped stock powers executed in blank (or such other signed
instrument of transfer acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent), and the
handling and disposition of the 2007 Make Good Shares and 2008 Make Good
Shares
shall be governed by this Section 4.11 and the Make Good Escrow
Agreement.
The
Company shall notify the Investors in writing that the 2007 Make Good Shares
and
the 2008 Make Good Shares have been placed into escrow as required hereunder
and
in accordance with the Make Good Escrow Agreement within two Trading Days
following the deposit of such 2007 Make Good Shares and 2008 Make Good Shares
into escrow in accordance herewith and with the Make Good Escrow Agreement.
Each
Make
Good Pledgor hereby agrees that its obligation to transfer shares of Common
Stock to Investors pursuant to this Section 4.11 and the Make Good Escrow
Agreement shall continue to run to the benefit of any Investor who shall
have
transferred or sold all or any portion of its Securities, and that each Investor
shall have the right to retain, transfer or assign its rights to receive
all or
any 2007 Make Good Shares and/or 2008 Make Good Shares to other Persons in
conjunction with negotiated sales or transfers of any of its
Securities.
27
(c) The
Company covenants and agrees that upon any transfer of 2007 Make Good Shares
or
2008 Make Good Shares to the Investors in accordance with the Make Good Escrow
Agreement, the Company shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to reissue
such 2007 Make Good Shares or 2008 Make Good Shares in the applicable Investor’s
name and deliver the same as directed by such Investor.
(d) If
any
term or provision of this Section 4.11 is in contradiction of or conflicts
with
any term or provision of the Make Good Escrow Agreement, the terms of the
Make
Good Escrow Agreement shall control.
4.12. Independent
Board of Directors.
The
Company covenants and agrees that no later than 120 days following the Closing
Date, the Board of Directors of the Company shall be comprised of a minimum
of
five members, a majority of which shall be “independent directors” as such term
is defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).
4.13. Third
Party Hiring. By the thirtieth day following the Closing Date, the Company
shall hire (i) CCG Investor Relations as the Company’s investor relations firm
and (ii) Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx Raysman & Xxxxxxx LLP as the Company’s primary
corporate legal counsel.
4.14. Right
of First Refusal.
(a) From
the
date hereof until the one year anniversary of the Effective Date (the
"Trigger
Date"),
the
Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to
purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or
any
option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries'
equity or equity equivalent securities, including, without limitation, any
debt,
preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during
its
life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (any such
offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a
"Subsequent
Placement")
unless
the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4.14.
28
(b) The
Company shall deliver to each Investor hereunder a written notice
(the "Offer
Notice")
of any
proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the "Offer")
of the
securities being offered (the "Offered
Securities")
in a
Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe
the
Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they
are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered
Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the persons or
entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to
be
offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or
exchange with such Investors all of the Offered Securities, allocated among
such
Investors (a) based on such Investor's pro rata portion of the total Investment
Amount hereunder (the "Basic
Amount"),
and
(b) with respect to each Investor that elects to purchase its Basic Amount,
any
additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts
of other Investors as such Investor shall indicate it will purchase or acquire
should the other Investors subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the
"Undersubscription
Amount"),
which
process shall be repeated until the Investors shall have an opportunity to
subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.
(c) To
accept
an Offer, in whole or in part, such Investor must deliver a written notice
to
the Company prior to the end of the fifth Business Day after such Investor's
receipt of the Offer Notice (the "Offer
Period"),
setting forth the portion of such Investor's Basic Amount that such Investor
elects to purchase and, if such Investor shall elect to purchase all of its
Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Investor elects
to
purchase (in either case, the "Notice
of Acceptance").
If
the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Investors are less than the total of all
of the Basic Amounts, then each Investor who has set forth an Undersubscription
Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition
to
the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed
for; provided,
however,
that if
the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between
the
total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the
"Available
Undersubscription Amount"),
each
Investor who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled
to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as
the
Basic Amount of such Investor bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Investors
that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by
the
Company to the extent its deems reasonably necessary.
(d) The
Company shall have twenty Business Days from the expiration of the Offer
Period
above to (i) offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered
Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the
Investors (the "Refused
Securities"),
but
only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein)
and
only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices
and
interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring person or persons
or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice
and
(ii) to publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent Placement
Agreement (as defined below), and (b) either (x) the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the
termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed
with
the Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement
Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.
If
no disclosure has been made by the Company by the end of the twenty Business
Day
period referred to in this subsection (d), the Subsequent Placement shall
be
deemed to have been abandoned and the Investors shall no longer be deemed
to be
in possession of any non-public information with respect to the
Company.
29
(e) In
the
event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities
(any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in this Section
4.14), then each Investor may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion,
reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice
of
Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount
of the
Offered Securities that such Investor elected to purchase pursuant to Section
4.14(c) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall
be the
number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue,
sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Investors
pursuant to Section 4.14(c) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities.
In
the event that any Investor so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered
Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue,
sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered
Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the
Investors in accordance with Section 4.14(b) above.
(f) Upon
the
closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the
Refused
Securities, the Investors shall acquire from the Company, and the Company
shall
issue to the Investors, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified
in
the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4.14(e) above if
the
Investors have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the
Offer.
The purchase by the Investors of any Offered Securities is subject in all
cases
to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Investors
of a
purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Investors and their respective counsel (such
agreement, the “Subsequent
Placement Agreement”).
(g) Any
Offered Securities not acquired by the Investors or other persons in accordance
with Section 4.14(f) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they
are
again offered to the Investors under the procedures specified in this
Agreement.
(h) In
exchange for the Company’s willingness to agree to these procedures, each
Investor hereby irrevocably agrees that it will hold in strict confidence
any
and all Offer Notices, the information contained therein, and the fact that
the
Company is contemplating a Subsequent Placement, until such time as the Company
is obligated to make the disclosures required by Section 4.14(d), or unless
it
notifies the Company in writing that it no longer desires to receive Offer
Notices.
(i) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.14 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt
Issuance.
4.15. Stockholder
Approval.

as practicable following the Closing Date, but in any event within 60 days

otherwise use its best efforts to promptly and duly obtain stockholder approval,
including, without limitation, if necessary, soliciting proxies from its
stockholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management
proposals in such proxy statement and having all management-appointed
proxy-holders vote their proxies in favor of such proposals to carry out
such
resolutions (and, if necessary, hold a special meeting of the stockholders
as
soon as practicable, but in any event not later than the 45th
day
after delivery of the proxy or other applicable materials relating to such
meeting) and (c) within five Business Days of obtaining such stockholder
authorization, take all actions necessary to effectuate the actions set forth
in
subsection (a) above.
4.16. Liquidated
Damages for Governmental Rescission of Restructuring Transaction.
If any
governmental agency, quasi governmental agency, self-regulatory agency or
other
Person empowered under applicable law, rule or regulation in the PRC threatens
or takes any action or fails for any reason to take any action that adversely
affects the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the option
agreement or the related equity transfer and other agreements pursuant to
which
the Company’s indirect wholly-owned PRC Subsidiary, Oriental Intra-Asia, is
acquiring the Interest, and the Company cannot undo such governmental action
or
otherwise address the adverse effect to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Investors within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such governmental
action
or inaction, then, upon written demand from an Investor, the Company shall
promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days from the date of such
written
demand, pay to that Investor, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the
product obtained by multiplying (a) the Purchase Price Per Share by (b) the

adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations or similar
transactions). As a condition to the receipt of such payment, the Investor
shall
return to the Company for cancellation the certificates evidencing the
Securities acquired by the Investor under the Agreement. This Section 4.16

and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, engage in any business other than a Related Business.
4.18. AIC
Registration. Within 30 days following the Closing Date, the Company’s PRC

business license which reflects the increase of the registered capital of
PKU

(b) Within

the Company will immediately cause Oriental Intra-Asia to contribute such
amount
of the increase (which shall be $5.10MM) into PKU, such that Oriental
Intra-Asia’s percentage equity ownership of PKU will increase from 85% to

PKU (as contemplated in Section 4.19(a)) and (ii) the new ownership percentages
of the equity holders of PKU which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be
95%, in
any event no later than 30 days of such contribution by Oriental Intra-Asia.
(d) Until
the

be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default
or a

delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any
manner
impair the exercise of any such right. No consideration shall be offered
or paid
to any Investor to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision
of any Transaction Document unless the same consideration is also offered

36
6.5. Termination.
This
Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing:
(a) by
written agreement of the Investors and the Company; and
(b) by
the
Company, the Selling Stockholder (as to itself but no other Selling
Stockholder), or an Investor (as to itself but no other Investor) upon written
notice to the other, if the Closing shall not have taken place by 6:30 p.m.
Eastern time on the Outside Date; provided,
that
the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.5(b) shall not
be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under
this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing
to occur on or before such time.
In
the
event of a termination pursuant to Section 6.5(a) upon delivery of a joint
written notice from the Company and the Investors to the Escrow Agent or
in the
event of a termination pursuant to Section 6.5(b) upon delivery of written
notice by the applicable party to the Escrow Agent, an Investor shall have
the
right to a return of up to its entire Investment Amount deposited with the
Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i), without interest or deduction.
The
Company covenants and agrees to cooperate with such Investor in obtaining
the
return of its Investment Amount, and shall not communicate any instructions
to
the contrary to the Escrow Agent.
In
the
event of a termination pursuant to this Section, the Company shall promptly
notify all non-terminating Investors. Upon a termination in accordance with
this
Section 6.5, the Company, terminating Selling Stockholder(s) and terminating
Investor(s) shall not have any further obligation or liability (including
as
arising from such termination) to the other and no Investor will have any
liability to any other Investor under the Transaction Documents as a result
therefrom.
6.6. Construction.
The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be
construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden
of
proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship
of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents.
6.7. Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their successors and permitted assigns. Neither the Company nor the Selling
Stockholders may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Investors. Any Investor may assign
any
or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Investor
assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing
to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions
hereof that apply to the “Investors.”
6.8. No
Third-Party Beneficiaries.
This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set

37
6.9. Governing
Law.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings
concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether
brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or
agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the New York Courts. Each party
hereto
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York
Courts
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or
with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect
to the enforcement of the any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim
that
it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court,
or
that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence
of
delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under
this
Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by
law.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by
applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions
of
a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall
be
reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs
and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution
of
such Proceeding.
6.10. Survival.
The
representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall
survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
6.11. Execution.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when
taken
together 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 party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation
of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the
same
force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original
thereof.
6.12. Severability.
If any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and
the
parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that
is a
reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such
substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.13. Rescission
and Withdrawal Right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting
any
similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Investor
exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document
and
the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods
therein provided, then such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole
discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant
notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future
actions and rights.
38
6.14. Replacement
of Securities.
If any
certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company 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 Company 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 Securities.
If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is
requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of
such
mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance
of
a replacement.
6.15. Remedies.
In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted
by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors, the Company and
the
Selling Stockholders will be entitled to specific performance under the
Transaction Documents. 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.
6.16. Payment
Set Aside.
To the
extent that the Company or any Selling Stockholder makes a payment or payments
to any Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or an Investor enforces
or
exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds
of
such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged
by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company
or such Selling Stockholder, a trustee, receiver or any other person under
any
law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal
law,
common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
had
not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
6.17. Independent
Nature of Investors’
Obligations and Rights.
The
obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and
not
joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to
purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by
such
Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or
in any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association,
a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to
such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
Each
Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such
Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor
will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its
investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction
Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce
its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this
Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be
necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders
acknowledge that each of the Investors has been provided with the same
Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple
Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any
Investor.
39
6.18. Limitation
of Liability.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Company and
the
Selling Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the liability of an Investor
arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and
every
nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Investor,
and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other Affiliate
of
such Investor or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial
interest of such a Investor shall be personally liable for any liabilities
of
such Investor.
