ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL; MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

3.1 Effect on Issued Share Capital. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any other holders of any securities of the Company:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each common share, with par value of US$0.0045 per share, of the Company (a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”) issued and

outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Excluded Shares, shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$6.00 in cash per Share without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and the register of members of the Surviving Corporation will be amended accordingly. Each Share formerly represented by a certificate (a “Share Certificate”) and non-certificated Share represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) (in each case other than any Excluded Share) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration without interest, and any Dissenting Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments set forth in Section 3.2(f). “Excluded Shares” means, collectively, (i) Shares beneficially owned by certain holders of Shares (the “Rollover Shareholders”) as set forth on Appendix II hereto (the “Rollover Shares”), (ii) Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) owned by holders of Shares who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their appraisal rights pursuant to Section 179 of the BVI Companies Act (“Dissenting Shareholders”) and (iii) Shares owned by the Company or any direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company. In the event that the Company changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, share split (including a reverse share split), share dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer self-tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such change, be the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(b) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share (other than the Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of its holder, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and no consideration shall be delivered with respect thereto.

(c) Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each ordinary share, par value US$1.00 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share, par value US$1.00 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Such ordinary share shall be the only issued and outstanding share capital of the Surviving Corporation and this will be reflected in the register of members of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time.

(d) Untraceable and Dissenting Shareholders. Remittances for the Per Share Merger Consideration shall not be sent to holders of Shares who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Paying Agent of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time. A holder of Shares will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) he has no registered address in the register of members (or branch register) maintained by the Company or, (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by the Company a cheque payable to such shareholder either (A) has been sent to such Person and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed or, (B) has not been sent to such Person because on an earlier occasion a cheque for a dividend so payable has been returned undelivered, and in any such case no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to the Company or, (C) notice of the Shareholders’ Meeting has been sent to such Person and has been returned undelivered. Monies due to Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares who are untraceable and any monies which are returned shall be held by the Surviving Corporation in a separate non-

interest bearing bank account for the benefit of Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares who are untraceable. Monies unclaimed after a period of seven (7) years from the date of the notice of the Shareholders’ Meeting shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Surviving Corporation. Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares who are untraceable who subsequently wish to receive any monies otherwise payable in respect of the Merger within applicable time limits or limitation periods should be advised to contact the Surviving Corporation.

3.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares (other than the Excluded Shares), a cash amount in immediately available funds sufficient for the Paying Agent to make payments under Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.2(f) (in the case of payments under Section 3.2(f), an amount equal to the number of Dissenting Shares multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration) (such aggregate cash amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within (x) five (5) Business Days in the case of registered holders of the Shares and (y) three (3) Business Days in the case of the Depository Trust Company on behalf of the holders holding the Shares through brokers, nominees, custodians or through a Third Party), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail (or, in the case of the Depository Trust Company, to deliver), to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered holder of Shares entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a): (i) a letter of transmittal which shall be in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Share Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Share Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)) and Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Share Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)) and Book-Entry Shares and/or such other documents as may be required in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, bona vacantia, escheat or similar Laws.

The Per Share Merger Consideration paid in respect of Shares entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) upon the surrender for exchange of Share Certificates or for Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article III, shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares, and, at the Effective Time, the register of members of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the register of members of the Surviving Corporation of Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than with respect to shares held by Dissenting Shareholders.

(h) Tax Withholding. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent, without double counting, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares or Options, such amounts as it reasonably determines in good faith it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to Taxes. In the event that Parent determines that any deduction or withholding is required to be made from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, Parent shall so notify the Company in writing at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date (or as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date if the circumstances giving rise to such deduction or withholding obligation occur less than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date). To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares or Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

3.3 Treatment of Stock Incentive Plans.

(a) Treatment of Options. At the Effective Time, each option to purchase Shares pursuant to any of the Stock Incentive Plans (an “Option” and collectively the “Options”) that is then outstanding, whether or not vested, shall be cancelled and converted into

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB

Parent and Merger Sub hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Company that:

5.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of Parent and Merger Sub is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification. Each of Parent and Merger Sub has made available to the Company (i) complete and correct copies of its memorandum and articles of association, or similar governing documents, as currently in effect, and (ii) a true and complete list of all directors and executive officers of Parent and Merger Sub, as of the date hereof.

5.2 Corporate Authority; No Conflict.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub and is a valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception. No vote or consent of the holders of any class or series of share capital of Parent is necessary to approve this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger. The vote or consent of Parent, as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub, is the only vote or consent of the holders of any class or series of share capital of Merger Sub necessary to authorize and approve this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub do not, and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the memorandum and articles of association, or similar governing documents, of Parent or Merger Sub, (ii) a breach or violation of any Law applicable to Parent or Merger Sub or by which any property or asset of Parent or Merger Sub is bound or affected, (iii) a default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which Parent or Merger Sub is a party, or an acceleration of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations under any such Contract, or (iv) the creation of any encumbrance on any properties or assets of Parent or Merger Sub, except, in the case of clause (iii) or clause (iv), for any such default, acceleration or creation as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

5.3 Available Funds and Financing.

(a) Parent has delivered to the Company true, correct and complete copies of the executed equity commitment letters (the “Equity Commitment Letters”) pursuant to which each of Forebright Smart Connection Technology Limited and Mr. Xxxxxxx Xx (together, the “Sponsors”) have committed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to invest in Parent the cash amount set forth therein (“Equity Financing”) and the Debt Commitment Letter. Each of the Commitment Letters provide, and will continue to provide, that the Company is a third-party beneficiary with respect to the provisions therein.

(b) None of the Commitment Letters hast been amended or modified, no such amendment or modification is contemplated (other than amendments or modifications that are permitted by Section 6.15), and none of the obligations and commitments of any party thereto contained in the Commitment Letters has been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect, and no such withdrawal, termination, or restriction is contemplated. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.2 hereof (except for de minis inaccuracies), Parent and Merger Sub will have at and after the Closing funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration and related fees and expenses in connection with the Merger. The Commitment Letters are in full force and effect and are legal, valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or

without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of any parties thereto, under the Commitment Letters. Parent and Merger Sub do not have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Equity Financing or the financing as contemplated under the Debt Commitment Letter will not be satisfied or that the Equity Financing will not be available to Parent or Merger Sub at the Closing. The Commitment Letters contain all of the conditions precedent (or, where applicable, refer to customary conditions precedent for a transaction of the nature contemplated by the Commitment Letters) to the obligations of the parties thereunder to make the Equity Financing available to Parent on the terms under the Equity Commitment Letters. There are no side letters or other agreements, contracts or arrangements to which Parent or any of its Affiliates is a party related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Equity Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letters and any customary engagement letter and non-disclosure agreements that do not impact the conditionality or amount of the Equity Financing. Between the date hereof and the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub will not need to enter into any new agreements or arrangements with unaffiliated third parties with respect to the provision of financing or funds in order to satisfy their obligations in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is not a condition to Closing under this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, for Parent or Merger Sub to obtain the Equity Financing or any alternative financing.

5.4 Absence of Litigation. There are no Actions pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against Parent or Merger Sub or any property or asset of Parent or Merger Sub and neither Parent nor Merger Sub is subject to any outstanding Judgment.

Parent and Merger Sub each has not conducted any business prior to the date hereof and each has no, and prior to the Effective Time will have no, assets, liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those incident to its formation and capitalization and, pursuant to this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

full force and effect and constitutes, on a several but not joint basis, legal, valid and binding obligation of Mr. Xxxxxxx Xx and Forebright New Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“Guarantors”), subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception, and no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default on the part of either Guarantor under the Limited Guarantee.

5.8 Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub.

Further, each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets, that Parent and Merger Sub are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets), and that neither Parent nor Merger Sub is relying on any estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or budgets furnished by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates and Representatives, and neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives not to, hold any such Person liable with respect thereto.

such action and the basis therefor, including all required information under Section 6.2(g), (ii) during the four (4) Business Day period following Parent’s and Merger Sub’s receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and Merger Sub in good faith (to the extent Parent and Merger Sub desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (iii) following the end of the four (4) Business Day period, the board of directors Company (acting at the direction of the Special Committee following consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) shall have determined in good faith, taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and Merger Sub in response to the Notice of Superior Proposal or otherwise, that the Acquisition Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided further, that substantially simultaneous with the Company’s board of directors’ making of the Company Adverse Recommendation, the Company shall terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(ii) and pay the Termination Fee to Parent in accordance with Section 8.3(a)(ii). Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.2 and shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal to Parent and Merger Sub as contemplated by Section 6.2(g); and the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.2 fully with respect to such amended Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Intervening Event. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Vote, in connection with an Intervening Event and other than in response to or in connection with a Superior Proposal, if the board of directors of the Company determines, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Special Committee (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel), that failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the board of directors of the Company may, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, effect a Company Adverse Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(iii); provided that prior to making such Company Adverse Recommendation, (i) the Company has provided Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice with reasonable details about the Intervening Event indicating that the board of directors of the Company intends to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement, and (ii) during the four (4) Business Day period following Parent and Merger Sub's receipt of the aforementioned notice, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and Merger Sub in good faith (to the extent Parent and Merger Sub desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so that it would no longer be inconsistent with the board of directors’ fiduciary obligations not to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation, and (iii) following the end of the four (4) Business Day period, the board of directors of the Company (acting at the direction of the Special Committee following consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) shall have determined in good faith, taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and Merger Sub in response to the aforementioned notice, that it would continue to be inconsistent with the board of directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law not to effect the Company Adverse Recommendation in light of the Intervening Event.

(e) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under United States federal or state Law, or other applicable Laws, with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that if such disclosure includes a Company Adverse Recommendation or has the substantive effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation. Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.1(c)(ii) (it being understood that a statement by the Company that describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto, or any “stop, look or listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, or any substantially similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, shall not be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation or be deemed to have the substantive effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Recommendation).

(f) Existing Discussions. The Company agrees that it will: (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal as of the date hereof; (ii) take the necessary steps to promptly inform the individuals or entities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 6.2(f) of the obligations undertaken in this Section 6.2; and (iii) promptly request each Person that has executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of acquiring the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(g) Notice. The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) notify Parent and Merger Sub in writing if any proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiation are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person, the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers and whether the Company has any intention to provide confidential information to such Person, and thereafter shall keep Parent and Merger Sub informed, on a reasonably current basis (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of the occurrence of any material changes, developments, discussions or negotiations) of the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication, inquiry or request and of any material changes in the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication, inquiry or request (including the material terms and conditions thereof). The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date hereof that prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent or Merger Sub. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) notify Parent and Merger Sub in writing if it determines to initiate actions concerning an Acquisition Proposal as permitted by this Section 6.2.

6.3 Preparation of the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, with the assistance of Parent, prepare and file the Proxy Statement with the SEC. Concurrently with filing the Proxy Statement with the SEC, the Company and Parent shall prepare and file the

Schedule 13E-3 with the SEC. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party will furnish to the other party the information relating to it required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in each of the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve all SEC comments with respect to the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees to correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 which shall have become false or misleading. The Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify Parent and Merger Sub of the receipt of any comments from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3 or for additional information in connection therewith. The Company will promptly provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company and the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3, and Parent will promptly provide the Company with copies of all correspondence between Parent and the SEC with respect to the Schedule 13E-3. Prior to filing or mailing (as applicable) the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, with respect to the Proxy Statement or any response with respect thereto, the Company shall (i) provide Parent and its counsel with an opportunity to review and comment on such document or response, as the case may be and (ii) consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by Parent and its counsel, and with respect to the Schedule 13E-3 or any response with respect thereto, each party shall (x) provide the other party and its counsel with an opportunity to review and comment on such document or response, as the case may be and (y) consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by the other party and its counsel; provided, however, nothing in this Section 6.3 shall limit or preclude the board of directors of the Company to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.2(c) or Section 6.2(d) of this Agreement; provided, further, that no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by Parent, the Rollover Shareholders or the Sponsors for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement.

6.4 Shareholders’ Meeting.

(a) Subject to Section 8.1, the Company will take, in accordance with applicable Law and its memorandum and articles of association, all actions necessary to convene a general meeting (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Schedule 13E-3 and Proxy Statement to consider and vote upon the approval and authorization of this Agreement and the Plan of Merger. The Company may adjourn or postpone the Shareholders’ Meeting to allow reasonable time (i) for the filing and mailing of any supplement or amendment to the disclosure, which the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel is necessary or advisable under applicable Law, and (ii) for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the Company’s shareholders prior to the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, and the Company may adjourn or postpone the Shareholders’ Meeting if, as of the time for which the Shareholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient Shares represented (either in person or by

proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Shareholders’ Meeting or if the Company reasonably deems necessary to solicit more proxies.

(b) Subject to Section 6.2 and Section 8.1, the Company shall include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Company Vote. In the event that subsequent to the date hereof, the board of directors of the Company makes a Company Adverse Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.2(c) or Section 6.2(d), the Company shall not be required to submit this Agreement to the holders of the Shares for the approval at the Shareholders’ Meeting in accordance with this Section 6.4.

6.5 Filings; Other Actions; Notification.

(a) Cooperation. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates and Representatives shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable, including preparing, execution and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any Third Party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Status. Subject to applicable Laws and as required by any Governmental Entity, the Company, on the one hand, Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as the case may be, or any of its Subsidiaries, from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall give reasonably prompt notice to Parent and Merger Sub of the discovery of any change, fact or condition that is reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or of any failure of any condition to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s respective obligations to effect the Merger. Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonably prompt notice to the Company of the discovery of any change, fact or condition that is reasonably expected to prevent or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or of any failure of any condition to the Company’s obligations

to effect the Merger; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.5(c) shall not (A) cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure or such other matter prior to the date hereof, or noncompliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (B) limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice; provided, further, that the failure to give prompt notice pursuant to this Section 6.5(c) shall not constitute a failure of a condition to the Merger Set forth in Article VII except to the extent that the underlying fact or circumstance, the occurrence or nonoccurrence of the event, or failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement not so notified would, standing alone, constitute such failure.

6.6 Access and Reports. (a) Subject to applicable Law, upon reasonable advance notice from Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to (i) afford Parent’s officers and other authorized Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, to its employees, properties, books, Contracts and records and, (ii) during such period, furnish as promptly as reasonably practicable to Parent and their authorized Representatives all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as may reasonably be requested; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide access to or disclose any information if such access or disclosure would (A) jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) violate any Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, Law or order, or (C) give a third party the right to terminate or accelerate the rights under a Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, in each case of (A), (B) and (C), that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy or violation or third party right.

6.7 Stock Exchange Delisting. Parent and its Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of The NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) to cause the delisting of the Shares from NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Company under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

6.8 Publicity. The initial press release regarding the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release, mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent. After the initial press release, so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Company and Parent shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any press release or public statement with respect to a Company Adverse Recommendation, a Superior Proposal or an Acquisition Proposal) and prior to making any filings with any third party and/or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service) with respect thereto, except as may be required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service or by the request of any Governmental Entity. This Section 6.8 shall terminate upon a Company Adverse Recommendation.

6.11 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) The indemnification, advancement and exculpation provisions of certain indemnification agreements by and among the Company and its directors and certain executive officers, as in effect at the Effective Time shall survive the Merger and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner. The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under (i) any indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation provision set forth in any memorandum and articles of association or comparable organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement and (ii) all indemnification agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time(the “Indemnified Parties”). The Memorandum and Articles of Association will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the directors, officers or employees of the Company as those contained in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, except to the extent prohibited by the BVI Companies Act or any other applicable Law, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner, unless such modification is required by Law.

(b) From and after the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall comply with all of the Company’s obligations, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with their respective obligations to indemnify and hold harmless (including any obligations to advance funds for expenses) (i) the Indemnified Parties thereof against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in

connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“Damages”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to occur prior to or at the Effective Time to the extent provided under the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s respective organizational and governing documents or agreements in effect on the date hereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by the BVI Companies Act or any other applicable Law, including the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or arising out of or pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that such indemnification shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law; and (ii) such Indemnified Parties against any and all Damages arising out of acts or omissions in connection with such persons serving as an officer, director or other fiduciary in any entity during the course of performance of their duties in such capacities.

(c) The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) covering each Indemnified Parties covered as of the Effective Time by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof for a period of six years after the Effective Time; provided, however, that, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend an amount in excess of 300% of the current annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance. Alternatively, the Company may and, at Parent’s request, the Company will, purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy prior to the Effective Time on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company. If such “tail” prepaid policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the respective obligations thereunder, and all other obligations under this Section 6.11(c) shall terminate.

(d) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then the obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, that are set forth under this Section 6.11 shall survive, and to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and legal representatives, each of which shall be a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 6.11.

6.12 Resignations. To the extent requested by Parent in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, on the Closing Date, the Company shall use reasonable best

efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent duly signed resignations, effective as of the Effective Time, of the directors of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company specified by Parent in writing.

6.13 Participation in Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, of any Actions commenced or, to the Company’s Knowledge on the one hand and Parent’s Knowledge on the other hand, threatened against such party which relate to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and Parent shall give each other reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no such litigation shall be settled without the other party’s prior written consent.

6.14 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

6.15 No Amendment to Transaction Documents. Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, (a) amend, modify, withdraw, waive or terminate any Buyer Group Contract or (b) enter into or modify any other Contract directly relating to the Transactions, in each case without the prior written consent of the Special Committee (acting on behalf of the Company).

6.16 Management. In no event shall Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, enter into or seek to enter into any arrangements that are effective prior to the Closing with any member of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ management or any other Company or Subsidiary employee that contain any terms that prohibit or restrict such member of management or such employee from discussing, negotiating or entering into any arrangements with any third party in connection with an Acquisition Proposal.

6.17 Actions Taken at Direction or Acquiescence of Parent or the Rollover Shareholders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be deemed to be in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder, including, without limitation, Article IV and this Article VI hereof, if the alleged breach is the proximate result of an action or inaction by the Company at the direction of Parent, the Rollover Shareholders, the Sponsors or their respective Affiliates, regardless of whether there is any approval by or direction from the Company’s board (acting with the concurrence of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee.

(i) if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before nine (9) months (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Merger to have been consummated on or before the Termination Date was primarily due to the breach or failure of such party to perform in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) if any Injunction permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger shall become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a party if the issuance of such Injunction was

primarily due to the breach or failure of such party to perform in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(i) if the representations and warranties of Parent or Merger Sub shall have become untrue after the date of this Agreement or Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of their covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which failure to be true and correct, breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 and (B) cannot be cured by the Termination Date, or if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Company stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(i) and the basis for such termination (or, if earlier, the Termination Date); provided, however, that, the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(i) if it is then in material breach of any representations, warranties,

covenants or other agreements hereunder that would result in the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 not being satisfied;

(ii) prior to obtaining the Requisite Company vote, in order to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 6.2; or

(ii) (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(c), or (B) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) or Section 8.1(d)(iii);

then, in any such event under clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 8.3(a), the Company shall pay if and as directed by Parent or its designee a cash amount equal to US$3,940,429 (the “Termination Fee”) to Parent or its designee by wire transfer of same day funds, within five (5) Business Days after such termination; it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. In the event that Parent or its designee shall receive full payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.3(a), the receipt of the Termination Fee and the expenses referred to in Section 8.3(c) shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment

thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Representatives arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.3(a) shall limit the rights of Parent and Merger Sub under Section 9.11.

(b) In the event that the Company shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i), Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Company or its designee promptly (but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days) after the Company validly terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) a termination fee equal to US$3,940,429 (the “Parent Termination Fee”). In the event that the Company shall receive full payment pursuant to this Section 8.3(b) and reimbursement of any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 8.3(c), the receipt of the Parent Termination Fee and such expenses shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by the Company or any other Person in connection with this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and neither the Company nor any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective former, current or future Representatives or Affiliates arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (or the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.3(b) shall limit the rights of the Company under Section 9.11.

(c) Each of the parties hereto acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the Merger, and that without these agreements the other parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences an Action which results in a judgment against the other party, with respect to Parent or Merger Sub, or parties, with respect to the Company for the payment set forth in this Section 8.3, such paying party shall pay the other party or parties, as applicable, its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment is actually received.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL

9.1 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties and Agreements. None of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, shall survive the Effective Time,

except for those covenants and agreements contained herein to the extent that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Effective Time.

9.2 Modification or Amendment. This Agreement may be amended with the approval of the respective boards of directors of the parties at any time (whether before or after the adoption of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company); provided, however, that (a) in the case of the Company, the board of directors of the Company (upon the direction of the Special Committee) has approved such amendment in writing, and (b) after any such adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Company Vote, no amendment shall be made which by law requires further approval of the shareholders of the Company without the further approval of such shareholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

9.3 Waiver. The conditions to each of the parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Laws and this Section 9.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

9.4 Governing Law and Venue.

(a) This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any provision of this Agreement with specific reference to the Laws of the British Virgin Islands shall be subject to the Laws of the British Virgin Islands, the Laws of the British Virgin Islands shall supersede the Laws of the State of New York with respect to such provision.

(b) Each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its subject matter (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity, formation, effect, interpretation, performance or termination of this Agreement) (each, a “Dispute”) be finally settled by arbitration. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong, and the arbitration shall be administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the HKIAC in force at the date of commencement of the arbitration (the “HKIAC Rules”). The arbitration shall be decided by a tribunal of three (3) arbitrators, who shall be qualified to practice law in the State of New York, the United States of America. The claimants, on one hand, and the respondents, on the other hand, shall each select one (1) arbitrator, and the HKIAC Council shall select the third arbitrator, whose appointment shall be in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. Arbitration proceedings (including but not limited to any arbitral award rendered) shall be in English. Subject to the agreement of the tribunal, any Dispute(s) which arise subsequent to the commencement of arbitration of any existing Dispute(s), shall be resolved by the tribunal already appointed to hear the existing Dispute(s). The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and

conclusive and binding upon the parties as from the date rendered. Judgment upon any award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction over a party or any of its assets. For the purpose of the enforcement of an award, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any competent court and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum. In any action at law or suit in equity to enforce this Agreement or the rights of any of the parties hereunder, the prevailing party in such action or suit shall be entitled to receive a reasonable sum for its attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such action or suit.

9.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the schedules and exhibits hereto , the Rollover Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Commitment Letters and the Limited Guarantee constitute the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

9.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth in Section 6.11 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance) of this Agreement, this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties who are signatories hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

9.8 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, shall, subject to the following sentence, remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, 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 provision or the application thereof is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

9.9 Interpretation; Absence of Presumption.

(a) For the purposes hereof, (i) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (ii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including the schedules, exhibits and annexes hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Article, Section, paragraph, and clause references are to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, and clauses to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (iii) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including without limitation” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified; (iv) the word “or” shall not be exclusive; (v) references to a Person are also to its successors and permitted

assigns; provisions shall apply, when appropriate, to successive events and transactions; (vi) all references to any period of days shall be deemed to be to the relevant number of calendar days unless otherwise specified and (vii) all terms defined herein shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein.

(b) The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, 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 provision of this Agreement.

9.10 Assignment. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not be assignable by any party hereto except that Parent may designate, by written notice to the Company, another company all of the outstanding voting securities of which are owned by Parent to be a constituent corporation in lieu of Merger Sub, whereupon all references herein to Merger Sub shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary, except that all representations and warranties with respect to Merger Sub as of the date hereof shall be deemed representations and warranties with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation.

9.11 Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur, damages would be difficult to determine and would be an insufficient remedy and no other adequate remedy would exist at law or in equity, in each case in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached (or any party hereto threatens such a breach). It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity (in the case of the Company, acting upon the direction of the Special Committee). Each of the parties irrevocably waives any defenses based on adequacy of any other remedy, whether at law or in equity, that might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance of any of the terms or provisions hereof or injunctive relief in any action brought therefor by any other party hereto, and any requirement under any Law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. Until such time as the Company pays the Termination Fee or Parent pays the Parent Termination Fee, as the case may be, the remedies available to each party shall be in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit Parent or Merger Sub from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate this Agreement and collect the Termination Fee under Section 8.3(a) or the Company from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate this Agreement and collect the Parent Termination Fee under Section 8.3(b). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) under no circumstances will the Company be entitled to monetary damages in connection with this Agreement in excess of the aggregate amount of (x) Parent Termination Fee, and (y) any amount payable by Parent pursuant to Section 8.3(c), and (B) under no circumstances will Parent be

entitled to monetary damages in excess of the aggregate amount of (A) the Termination Fee and (B) any amount payable by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(c).

9.12 Counterparts; Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, and in the event this Agreement is so executed and delivered, 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 or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
