ARTICLE 4.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1. Transferability; Certificate. (a) The 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 Securities will contain, in addition to the legend described in Section 3.2(i) as the case may be, the following legend, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(c):

THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF 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.

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 thereof 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. 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 by the selling Investor without volume restrictions under Rule 144. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or such other time as legends are no longer required to be set forth on certificates representing Securities under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no longer than three Trading Days following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing such Securities containing a restrictive legend, deliver or instruct the Transfer Agent to deliver to such Investor, Securities which are free of all restrictive and other legends. If the Company is then eligible, certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to an Investor by crediting the prime brokerage account of such Investor with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Investor. 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 the applicable 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 “Securities 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 Securities Delivery Date and (2) following such third Trading Day after the Securities 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, in addition to any other rights available to the Investor under the Transaction Documents and applicable law, 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.

4.2. Furnishing of Information. As long as any Investor or any transferee owns any 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. Other than pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and as set forth on Schedule 4.4, prior to the first to occur of (a) the Effective Date of a Registration Statement resulting in all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) being registered for resale pursuant to one or more effective Registration Statements or (b) such time as all Registrable Securities may be sold by the Investors without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, 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.

4.5. Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. By (i) 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Trading Day following the Closing Date, the Company shall issue a press release, disclosing the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Closing and by (ii) 5:30 p.m. (New York time) on the Trading Day following the Closing Date, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the material terms of the Transaction Documents (and attach as exhibits thereto all existing Transaction Documents) and the Closing. The Company covenants that following such disclosure, the Investors shall no longer be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary. In addition, the Company will make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission and the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Investor, 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.

4.6. Pre-emptive Rights. Until the expiration of the 12-month period following the Effective Date, the Investors shall have the right to purchase in any other equity or equity-linked offering conducted by the Company during such period that amount of securities, which are the subject of such offering, as will preserve such Investor’s percentage ownership of the Company as such Investor has upon completion of the Final Closing under this Agreement. Any such purchase shall be on the same terms and subject to the same limitations as are included in the Offering. The Company shall provide Investors with not less than 20-days’ notice of such Offering.

4.7. Indemnification of Investors. In addition to the indemnity provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold the Investors, the Investor Representative, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, affiliates, employees and agents (each, an “Investor 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 in respect thereof (collectively, “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 any of 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. 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.

4.8. Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that, except as specifically contemplated by the Transaction Documents, neither it nor any other Person acting on its 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. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

4.9. Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder to support capital expenditures, provide capital for acquisition opportunities and for working capital, 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.

4.10. Make Good Shares.

(a) The Make Good Pledgor agrees that in the event that (i) the net revenue of the Company reported for the existing business segments (excluding any future acquisitions) in the Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K (or such other form appropriate for such purpose as promulgated by the Commission) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, as filed with the Commission (the “2011 Annual Report”), is less than $81,300,000 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Guaranteed Amount”) or (ii) the net revenue of the Company reported for the existing business segments (excluding any future acquisitions) in the Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K (or such other form appropriate for such purpose as promulgated by the Commission) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, as filed with the Commission (the “2012 Annual Report”), is less than $102,000,000 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Guaranteed Amount”), then in either case, the Make Good Escrow Agent (on behalf of the Make Good Pledgor) will, without any further action on the part of the Investors, transfer a number of Make Good Shares (as calculated below) 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) as specified in Exhibit A to this Agreement for no consideration other than payment of their respective Investment Amount paid to the Company at Closing. If the net revenue of the Company for the existing business segments (excluding any future acquisitions) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 equals or exceeds the 2011 Guaranteed Amount, then 50% of the Make Good Shares will be released back to the Make Good Pledgor. The “Make Good Shares” means 500,000 shares of Common Stock owned by the Make Good Pledgor. The number of Make Good Shares transferable to Investors shall be calculated as follows:

(i) For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, the number of Make Good Shares transferable to Investors shall be equal to (A) the 2011 Guaranteed Amount less the actual net revenues of the Company for the existing business segments (excluding any future acquisitions) as reflected in the 2011 Annual Report, divided by (B) the 2011 Guaranteed Amount multiplied by the aggregate number of Make Good Shares; and

(ii) For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, the number of Make Good Shares transferable to Investors shall be equal to (A) the 2012 Guaranteed Amount less the actual net revenues of the Company for the existing business segments (excluding any future acquisitions) as reflected in the 2012 Annual Report, divided by (B) the 2012 Guaranteed Amount multiplied by the aggregate number of remaining Make Good Shares that have not been released to the Make Good Pledgor or transferred to the Investors.

If the net revenue of the Company for the existing business segments (excluding any future acquisitions) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 equals or exceeds the 2012 Guaranteed Amount, then the remaining Make Good Shares not previously released to the Make Good Pledgor or transferred to the Investors will be released back to the Make Good Pledgor.

(b) Any required transfer of the Make Good Shares under this Section shall be made to the Investors or the Make Good Pledgor, as applicable, within 20 calendar days after the date on which the 2012 Annual Report or 2012 Annual Report, as applicable, is filed with the Commission and otherwise in accordance with the Make Good Escrow Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining whether or not the 2011 Guaranteed Amount or the 2012 Guaranteed Amount, as applicable, has been met, the Company may disregard any compensation charge or expense required to be recognized by the Company under GAAP resulting from the release of the Make Good Shares to the Make Good Pledgor if and to the extent such charge or expense is specified in the Company’s financial statements for the relevant year, as filed with the Commission. In determining whether the Company has achieved the 2011 Guaranteed Amount or the 2012 Guaranteed Amount, as applicable, any liquidated damages payable pursuant to the Transaction Documents shall not be included as expenses of the Company.

(d) The Company and the Make Good Pledgor shall notify the Investors as soon as the Make Good Shares have been deposited with the Make Good Escrow Agent. Each of the Company and the Make Good Pledgor covenants and agrees that upon any transfer of Make Good Shares to the Investors in accordance with the Make Good Escrow Agreement, the Company and the Make Good Pledgor shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to reissue such Make Good Shares in the applicable Investor’s name and deliver the same as directed by such Investor.

(e) The Investors hereby appoint the Investor Representative to act on their collective behalf with respect to all matters related to the Make Good Shares within the scope of this Section 4.10 and the Make Good Escrow Agreement, and the Investor Representative hereby accepts such appointment. All decisions of the Investor Representative with respect to the subject matter of this Section 4.10 shall be binding on the Investors absent fraud or willful misconduct.

(f) If any term or provision of this Section 4.10 contradicts or conflicts with any term or provision of the Make Good Escrow Agreement, the terms of the Make Good Escrow Agreement shall control.

(g) In connection with the foregoing, the Make Good Pledgor agrees that within five (5) Trading Days following the Closing, the Make Good Pledgor will deposit 500,000 shares of Common Stock into escrow in accordance with the Make Good Escrow Agreement.

(h) The Company agrees that any Make Good Shares to be issued to the Investors will be properly treated for United States tax purposes as constituting a non-taxable purchase price adjustment within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.305-1(c) and, accordingly, the Company shall effect all applicable tax reporting and all withholding tax determinations on a basis consistent with such non-taxable purchase price adjustment treatment.

(i) If the Company shall at any time after the date hereof (A) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on Common Stock, or (B) subdivide or split the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (C) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) make any other similar changes to its share capital (each of (A), (B), (C) and (D), a “Share Adjustment Event”), the Investors shall be entitled to receive the proportionately adjusted number of Make Good Shares and all dividends and other distributions made on the Make Good Shares that the Investors would have received had the Investors received such Make Good Shares at their applicable Closing.

4.11. Post-Closing Covenants.

(a) Government Approvals. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain or cause its subsidiaries, affiliates and third party to obtain all requisite licenses and approvals granted by competent PRC Governmental Bodies for each PRC Subsidiary to conduct its business activities.

(b) Deposit of Make Good Shares. Within five (5) Trading Days after the Closing, the Make Good Pledgor shall have deposited 500,000 shares of Common Stock (which shall be equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar transactions) 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).

(c) Trust Arrangements. Within twenty eight (28) days after the Closing, the Company will take such action as may be required by the Investor Representative to modify certain trust arrangements that were entered into among significant stockholders of record of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and the beneficial owners of such record interests, to the satisfaction of the Investor Representative.

(d) By-laws. Within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date The Company will amend its by-laws to be in compliance with the listing standards of NASDAQ or NYSE Amex, or such other national exchange as the Company’s securities are listed or quoted on, or any other applicable laws or regulations. Prior to adoption, such by-laws will be subject to review and approval by the Investor Representative, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) Chief Financial Officer. The Company will use its best efforts to hire an English-speaking Chief Financial Officer with U.S. GAAP experience within 120 days of the First Closing Date.

(f) Investor Relations. The Company shall set aside $240,000 of the proceeds of the Offering in an escrow account for the purpose of paying expenses for investor relations activities and in connection therewith will retain the services of a nationally recognized investor relations firm within 120 days from any Final Closing Date under this Agreement.

(g) Listing of Common Stock. The Company agrees, (i) to use its best efforts to cause the listing of its Common Stock, including the Shares, for trading on a National Exchange within 180 days of the First Closing Date, (ii) to take all action reasonably necessary to continue the present trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market, and (iii) to comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of any Trading Market on which shares of its Common Stock are listed and/or traded.

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 forth in Section 4.7 (as to each Investor Party). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor Representative may rely on the representations and warranties of the Company and the Investors set forth in this Agreement and is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall have all of the rights of an “Investor” under this Agreement.

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 for 18 months following the Closing Date.

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 or e-mail 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 or e-mail 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.

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 and the Company 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 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, 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. The Company acknowledges 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.

6.18. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees 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.
