Intellectual Property of any other Person, including, without limitation, any former employer of
any past or present employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. To the Company’s Knowledge,
neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective employees has any
agreements or arrangements with former employers of such employees relating to any Intellectual

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) The Company is expected to achieve EBITDA of US$25,000,000 (assuming the Jiangmen
Acquisition is consummated during the 2010 fiscal year) or US$22,000,000 (assuming the Jiangmen
Acquisition is not consummated during the 2010 fiscal year) (as applicable, the “2010 Target
EBITDA”). The 2010 Target EBITDA however, shall be adjusted upwards to account for expected
returns from utilization of all or a part of the Escrow Funds during 2010 fiscal year and such
adjusted EBITDA shall become the new 2010 Target EBITDA. Furthermore, the 2010 Target EBITDA is
subject to a downward adjustment of US$1,000,000 if Closing occurs after January 31, 2010. If the
actual EBITDA of the Company for the 2010 fiscal year (“2010 Actual EBITDA”) is less than 90% of
the applicable 2010 Target EBITDA, Investor may require the Company to issue to Investor that
number of Common Shares equal to X (the “2010 Additional Shares”), where:
X = ((A*B) - C)/(1 - A)
Where:
X = 2010 Additional Shares
A = 2010 Target EBITDA / 2010 Actual EBITDA * Investor Ownership Percentage
29
B = Total number of Equity Securities of the Company issued and outstanding on a Fully Diluted
Basis, at the time of determination but prior to the issuance of 2010 Additional Shares
C = Total number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis, at the time of determination but
prior to the issuance of any 2010 Additional Shares
The purchase price for the 2010 Additional Shares shall equal the product of the number of 2010
Additional Shares and the par value of each 2010 Additional Share.
(b) The Company is expected to achieve EBITDA of US$39,000,000 (assuming the Jiangmen
Acquisition is consummated during the 2010 or 2011 fiscal year) or US$30,000,000 (assuming the
Jiangmen Acquisition is not consummated during the 2010 or 2011 fiscal year), (as applicable, the
“2011 Target EBITDA”). The 2011 Target EBITDA however, shall be adjusted upwards to account for
expected returns from utilization of all or a part of the Escrow Funds during 2010 or 2011 fiscal
year and such adjusted EBITDA shall become the new 2011 Target EBITDA. If the actual EBITDA of the
Company for the 2011 fiscal year (“2011 Actual EBITDA”) is less than 95% of the applicable 2011
Target EBITDA, Investor may require the Company to issue to Investor that number of Common Shares
equal to Y (the “2011 Additional Shares”), where:
Y = ((D*E) - F)/(1 - D)
Where:
Y = 2011 Additional Shares
D = 2011 Target EBITDA / 2011 Actual EBITDA * Investor Ownership Percentage

determination but prior to the issuance of any 2011 Additional Shares
F = Total number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis, at the time of determination but
prior to the issuance of any 2011 Additional Shares

Additional Shares and the par value of each 2011 Additional Share.
(c) In the event Section 4.9(a) or Section 4.9(b) would result in the issuance of that number
of Common Shares to Investor which would result in the Investor Ownership Percentage being greater
than 75%, the number of Common Shares required to be issued pursuant to Section 4.9(a) or Section
4.9(b) shall be reduced so that the Investor Ownership Percentage shall equal 75% less one (1)
Common Share.
30
(d) If (A) the exercise of any warrant or option by any shareholder of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, or the issuance of any Equity Security by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, except for an Exempt Issuance, would result in Investor holding,
directly or indirectly, less than 50.1% of all securities entitled to vote at a meeting of
shareholders of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (B) prior to such exercise or issuance
the Investor held more than 50.1% of all securities entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Investor may require the Company to issue such number of
Common Shares of the Company as may be required for Investor to hold more than 50.1% of all
securities entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders of the Company and all of its
Subsidiaries. The Company shall not set a record date for any meeting of shareholders until and
unless Investor holds more than 50.1% of all securities entitled to vote at a meeting of
shareholders of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or waived its rights under this Section 4.9.

Shares and an amount equal to the Market Price. Investor shall inform the Company of whether it
elects to subscribe for additional shares under this Section within thirty (30) days after the date
the Company provides notice to Investor that its rights under this Section have been triggered.
(e) In the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries requires additional capital for its
operations, Investor may require the Company to issue to Investor certain number of Common Shares
in consideration of Investor’s additional investment in the Company. The number of the Common
Shares to be issued to Investor shall equal G divided by H where:
G = amount of capital required
H = Market Price
Section 4.10 Management Incentive Plan. The Board of Directors may, at its sole and
absolute discretion, establish a committee (the “Remuneration Committee”) for the purpose of
determining appropriate remuneration of its directors and officers. The Remuneration Committee
shall be comprised of three members of the Board of Directors, one of which shall be the member
nominated by Investor, one of which shall be the member nominated by the Executive Shareholder and
one of which shall be an Independent Director agreed to by the Board of Directors. The
Remuneration Committee shall establish a management incentive plan (the “Incentive Plan”) which
shall provide for the award of Common Shares to management upon the achievement of certain
milestones (the “Performance Milestones”) for each of the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 fiscal years.
Satisfaction of the Performance Milestones for 2010 shall permit the issuance of up to 429,514
Common Shares, which is equal to approximately 1% of the Common Shares of the Company on a Fully
Diluted Basis as of the Closing Date. Satisfaction of the Performance Milestones for 2011 shall
permit the issuance of up to 859,027 Common Shares, which is equal to approximately 2% of the
Common Shares of the Company on a Fully Diluted Basis as of the Closing Date. Satisfaction of the
Performance Milestones for 2012 shall permit the issuance of up to 859,027 Common Shares, which is
equal to approximately 2% of the Common Shares of the Company on a Fully Diluted Basis as of the
Closing Date. Satisfaction of the Performance Milestones for 2013 shall permit the issuance of up
to 1,288,542 Common Shares, which is equal to approximately 3% of the Common Shares of the Company
on a Fully Diluted Basis as of the Closing Date. The Remuneration Committee shall grant Executive
Shareholder the power to reallocate the Management Incentive Shares among the management, to the
extent such reallocation is reasonable. The issuance of the Management Incentive Shares shall be
subject to the requirements of Section 4.9(d). The
Board of Directors may accelerate the issuance of the Management Incentive Shares once the
Investor holds less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis at
the time of determination.

Foreign Exchange for Transfer of Shares (a “SAFE Release”), Investor may elect to require the
Escrow Agent to disburse immediately all or any portion of the Escrow Funds (the “Redemption
Amount”) to Investor, provided however, Investor shall not be entitled to a SAFE Release with
respect to US$8 million of the Escrow Funds if a good faith effort has been exerted to obtain such
certificate and the Company and Investor believe that such certificate is forthcoming. Upon
receipt of the Redemption Amount, Investor shall surrender to the Company that number of Purchased
Preferred Shares equal to X, where:

number of days passed from Closing to date of determination and the denominator of which is 365.
Upon receipt of the surrendered certificates or certificates, the Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Shares represented by such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been
redeemed by the Company and the Company shall cancel such certificate or certificates. The shares
of such cancelled Purchased Preferred Shares shall have the status of authorized but unissued
shares of preferred stock of the Company.
In the event Escrow Funds are disbursed to Investor pursuant to a SAFE Release, Investor
agrees to reimburse the Company for one-half the Company’s cash expenses relating to the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including fees and expenses of Peak Capital), provided
that the maximum amount to be reimbursed by Investor pursuant to this provision shall be
US$375,000.

agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations,
claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in
settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that an
Indemnified Party may suffer or incur (the “Indemnifiable Losses”) as a result of or relating to
(i) any misstatement, material omission, or breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by the Company or any of its Affiliates or the Executive Shareholder
in any Transaction Document; and (ii) any Action instituted against Investor, or any of its
Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of Investor, with respect to
any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such Action is based upon
a breach of Investor’s representation, warranty or covenant under the Transaction Documents or any
violation by Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by Investor which
constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).
(c) Indemnification of Investor for Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Executive Shareholder hereby agree to, jointly and
severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its Affiliates, directors, managers,

Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.2(gg) of this Agreement to
be true or correct as of the Closing Date; (ii) all Taxes imposed on or asserted against the

financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents, and adequately disclosed in such
financial statements, the books and records of the Company or a schedule attached hereto, (iii) all
Taxes imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or for which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries may be liable, as a result of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv)

this Section 4.12(c) shall be treated as an Indemnified Party, and (y) required to indemnify
another party pursuant to this Section 4.12(c) shall be treated as an Indemnifying Party. For the
avoidance of doubt, if a Tax Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification under more than
one clause of this Section 4.12(c) for a single loss, such Tax Indemnified Party shall not be
entitled to duplicate payments for such loss.
33

Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action and
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the

specifically authorized by any Indemnifying Party in writing, (ii) an Indemnifying Party has failed
after a reasonable period of time following such Indemnified Party’s written request that it do so,
to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such Action there is, in the reasonable

or (c) of this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Indemnified Party effected without the any of
the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, or (ii) in the case of Section 4.12(b), to the extent, but only to the extent that the
Indemnifiable Losses are attributable to such Indemnified Party’s wrongful actions or omissions, or
gross negligence or to such Indemnified Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by Investor in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the
aggregate amount of indemnification to be paid by (x) the Company under Section 4.12(b) exceed the
aggregate purchase price of the Purchased Shares and (y) the Executive Shareholder under Section
4.12(b) exceed the lesser of (A) the sum of the Common Shares Purchase Price and that portion of
the Preferred Shares Purchase Price actually received by the Company until the time such
indemnification payment is made by the Executive Shareholder and (B) the total Market Price of the
Common Shares pledged by the Executive Shareholder as of the Closing Date.

knowledge (whether constructive or imputed) at or prior to the date of this Agreement of any breach
by an Indemnifying Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any representation, warranty
or covenant in this Agreement, such knowledge shall not constitute a waiver of any available remedy
by the Indemnified Party under this Section 4.12 and the Indemnified Party shall not be precluded
or prejudiced for any claim or recourse against the Indemnifying Parties or any of their Affiliates
or the Escrow Funds with respect to such breach, under this Section 4.12 or otherwise. Knowledge

purposes of determining the knowledge of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or
Representatives for the purpose of this Agreement. Investor confirms that as of the date hereof,
Investor does not have knowledge of any breach by an Indemnifying Party or any of its Subsidiaries
or Affiliates of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement.

Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (the “Overlap Period”) shall be apportioned between
the Pre-Closing Period and any period ending after the Closing Date as follows: (i) in the case of
Taxes other than income, sales and use and withholding Taxes, on a per diem basis, and (ii) in the
case of income, sales and use and withholding Taxes, as determined from the books and records of
the Company and its Subsidiaries as though the taxable year of the Company or any relevant
Subsidiary terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date.

obtain the Waiver as soon as practicable after the date hereof. The Company covenants that upon
execution by the Private Placement Investors, the Waiver shall be effective and enforceable against

such information. The Company understands and confirms that Investor shall be relying on the
foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

Closing, the Company shall amend or supplement any schedule hereto by delivery of a written
amendment or supplement thereto to Investor. Any such amendment or supplement shall only be
effective to modify such representations and warranties for the purpose of determining the
fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1(a), unless Investor promptly
objects to any such amendment or supplement. No such amendment or supplement shall be effective to
modify the representations and warranties made by the
Company and the Executive Shareholder on the date hereof for purposes of the Indemnifying
Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

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.

Section 6.14 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.
Section 6.15 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents,
whenever 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 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.
Section 6.16 Replacement of Purchased Shares. If any certificate or instrument
evidencing any Purchased Shares 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 Purchased Shares.
Section 6.17 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided
herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, Investor 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.
Section 6.18 Further Actions. Each party shall execute and deliver such certificates
and other documents and take such other actions as may reasonably be requested by the other party
in order to consummate or implement the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction
Documents.
Section 6.19 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their
respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and,
therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved
against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents
or any amendments hereto.
