Attn: Guoshen Tu
Date: April 20, 2011
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, sets forth the irrevocable commitment of each of the undersigned (each, a “Rollover Holder”), subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, to transfer, contribute and deliver shares of Company Common Stock to Rightmark Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Parent”) in exchange for certain equity securities of Intelligent One Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Holdco”), which owns 100% shares of Parent, or if agreed between Parent and such Rollover Holder, certain amount in cash. It is contemplated that, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Parent and Rightmark Merger Sub Limited, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Mr. Guoshen Tu (solely for purposes of Section 6.15 of the Merger Agreement), Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving entity of such Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Each capitalized term used and not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.
1. Commitment. Each of the Rollover Holders hereby commits (its “Commitment”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to transfer, contribute and deliver to Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time the number of shares of Company Common Stock corresponding to such Rollover Holder as set forth on Exhibit A (in respect of such Rollover Holder, its “Rollover Contribution Shares”), valued at US$6.50 per share, in exchange for equity securities of Holdco of equivalent value or, if agreed between Parent and such Rollover Holder, in exchange for an amount in cash equal to US$6.50 per share multiplied by the number of the Rollover Contribution Shares. Holdco shall immediately prior to the Effective Time issue such equity securities of Holdco, if any, to such Rollover Holder in connection with such Rollover Holder’s contribution of the Rollover Contribution Shares to Parent.
2. Conditions. The Commitments shall be subject to (i) the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to effect the Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Debt Financing has been or will be funded in accordance with the terms of the Facility Agreement at the Effective Time, and (iii) the substantially simultaneous consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
3. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches and/or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Rollover Holders and to enforce specifically against the Rollover Holders the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Parent or the Company is entitled at law or in equity. Each of Parent and the Company shall have the right to specific performance of this Agreement without having to prove actual damages and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security or having to establish that monetary relief would not provide an adequate remedy.
4. No Modification; Entire Agreement. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision hereof shall be enforceable unless approved by Parent, the Rollover Holders and the Company in writing. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and statements, written or oral, between Rollover Holders and Parent with respect to the subject matter hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby. No transfer or assignment of any of the Rollover Holders’ rights or obligations hereunder (including the contribution, transfer and delivery of the Rollover Contribution Shares) shall be permitted without the prior written consent of Parent and the Company and no transfer or assignment of any of Parent’s rights or obligations hereunder shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the Rollover Holders and the Company. Any purported transfer in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void.
5. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed entirely within such state, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles. The parties hereto agree that any proceeding brought by any party or third party beneficiary to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of jurisdiction derived from present or future domicile or otherwise in such proceeding. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding in any such court or that any such proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
6. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS OR INSTRUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic means), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other party hereto, it being understood that each party hereto need not sign the same counterpart.
8. Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties hereby agree that, except as expressly provided otherwise herein, their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies hereunder or any rights under any provision of this Agreement.
