any statutory requirement of any applicable law: (i) the failure of the Executive to properly carry out his duties after notice
by the Company of the failure to do so and a reasonable opportunity for the Executive to correct the same within a reasonable period

policies of, the Company or his fiduciary duties to the Company likely to cause material harm to the Company and its affiliates,
at the Company's reasonable discretion, or (iii) any theft, fraud, dishonesty or serious misconduct by the Executive involving

or estate, as appropriate, a special compensation not exceeding the annual Base Salary as provided in Article 3.1 above, as decided
by the board of directors of the Company.


 


4.3          By Disability. If the
Executive becomes eligible for the Company's long-term disability benefits or if, in the sole opinion of the Company, the Executive
is unable to carry out the responsibilities and functions of the position held by the Executive by reason of any physical or mental
impairment for more than ninety (90) consecutive days or more than one hundred twenty (120) days in any twelve-month period, then,

5.            Termination By Executive.


 


5.1          Termination by Executive other
than for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate employment with the Company at any time for any reason or no reason at all,
upon three (3) months' advance written notice. During such notice period the Executive shall continue to diligently perform all
of the Executive's duties hereunder. The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to make the Executive's termination
effective at any time prior to the end of such notice period as long as the Company pays the Executive all compensation under Section
3 hereof to which the Executive is entitled up through the last day of the three (3) months' notice period. Thereafter all obligations
of the Company shall cease. Unless the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, as provided in Section 5.2, no severance
or other separation benefits shall be paid to the Executive.


 


5.2          Termination for Good
Reason After Change in Control. The Executive's termination shall be for Good Reason (as defined below) if the Executive
provides written notice to the Company of the Good Reason within three (3) months of the event constituting Good Reason and provides
the Company with a period of twenty (20) days to cure the Good Reason and the Company fails to cure the Good Reason within that
period. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean a material reduction in the Executive's Base
Salary, except for reductions that are comparable to reductions generally applicable to similarly situated executives of the Company
if (i) such reduction is effected by the Company without the consent of the Executive and (ii) such event occurs within
three (3) months after a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control"
of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred when: (i) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of
the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the shareholders of the Company
immediately prior thereto holding fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or the surviving
entity immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (ii) the shareholders of the Company approve
either a plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement for the sale, lease, exchange or other transfer or disposition
by the Company of fifty-percent (50%) or more of the Company's assets. If the Executive terminates his employment for Good
Reason, the Executive will be eligible to receive an amount equal to one (1) month of the Executive's then-current Base Salary
payable in the form of salary continuation. Thereafter all obligations of the Company or its successor under this Agreement shall
cease. Any severance shall be reduced by any remuneration paid to the Executive because of the Executive's employment or self-employment
during the severance period, and the Executive shall promptly report all such remuneration to the Company or its successor in writing.
The Executive's eligibility for severance is conditioned on the Executive having first signed a Termination Certificate in the
form attached as Exhibit A.


 


6.            Termination Obligations.


 


The Executive agrees that on or before termination
of employment, he will promptly return to the Company all documents and materials of any nature pertaining to his work with the
Company, including all originals and copies of all or any part of any Proprietary Information or Inventions (as defined below)
along with any and all equipment and other tangible and intangible property of the Company. The Executive
agrees not to retain any documents or materials or copies thereof containing any Proprietary Information or Inventions.


 




    	4



    	 



    

 


 


The Executive further agrees that: (i) all
representations, warranties, and obligations under Articles 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3 contained in this Agreement
shall survive the termination of the Period of Employment; (ii) the Executive's representations, warranties and obligations
under Articles 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3 shall also survive the expiration of this Agreement; and (iii) following
any termination of the Period of Employment, the Executive shall fully cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to his
continuing obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to the winding up of pending work on behalf of the Company,
the orderly transfer of work to the other employees of the Company, and the defense of any action brought by any third party against
the Company that relates in any way to the Executive's acts or omissions while employed by the Company. The Executive also agrees
to sign and deliver the Termination Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A prior to his termination of employment with
the Company.


 


7.            Post-Termination Activity. 


 


7.1          No Use of Proprietary Information.
The Executive acknowledges that the pursuit of the activities forbidden by this subsection would necessarily involve the use or
disclosure of Proprietary Information in breach of this Agreement, but that proof of such a breach would be extremely difficult.
To forestall such disclosure, use, and breach, and in consideration of the employment under this Agreement, the Executive also
agrees that while employed by the Company, and for a period of one (1) year after termination of the Executive's employment, the
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly:


 


(i)          divert or attempt to divert from
the Company or any Affiliate ("Affiliate" shall mean any person or entity that directly, or indirectly through
one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with such entity). For the purposes of this
definition "control" means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction
of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and includes
(x) ownership directly or indirectly of 50% or more of the shares in issue or other equity interests of such person, (y) possession
directly or indirectly of 50% or more of the voting power of such person or (z) the power directly or indirectly to appoint a majority
of the members of the board of directors or similar governing body of such person, and the terms "controlling"
and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing) any business of any kind in which it is engaged,
including, without limitation, soliciting business from or performing services for, any persons, company or other entity which
at any time during the Executive's employment by the Company is a client, supplier, or customer of the Company or prospective client,
supplier, or customer of the Company if such business or services are of the same general character as those engaged in or performed
by the Company;


 




    	5



    	 



    

 


(ii)          solicit or otherwise induce
any person to terminate his employment or consulting relationship with the Company or any Affiliate; and


 


(iii)         engage,
invest or assist in any business activity that directly or indirectly competes with any business plan of the Company or any Affiliate.


 


In addition, because the Executive acknowledges
the difficulty of establishing when any intellectual property, invention, or proprietary information is first conceived or developed
by the Executive, or whether it results from access to Proprietary Information or the Company equipment, supplies, facilities,
or data, the Executive agrees that any intellectual property, invention, or proprietary information shall be reported to the Company
and, unless proven otherwise to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, shall be presumed to be an Invention for the purpose
of this Agreement and shall be subject to all terms and conditions hereof, if reduced to practice by the Executive or with the
aid of the Executive within one (1) year after termination of the Period of Employment.


 


7.2          No Competition. Notwithstanding
Section 7.1 above, while employed by the Company and for a period equal to the greater of one (1) year after the termination of
the Executive's employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, as an executive,
employer, employee, consultant, agent, principal, partner, manager, stockholder, officer, director, or in any other individual
or representative capacity, engage or participate in any business within the PRC and/or Hong Kong that is competitive with the
business of the Company or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may own less than one percent (1%) of any
class of stock or security of any corporation listed on an internationally recognized securities exchange which competes with the
Company.


 


7.3          Enforceability. The covenants
of this Article 7 are several and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of
any other covenant. If any provision of this Article 7 relating to the time period or geographic area of the restrictive covenants
shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period or geographic area, as applicable, that
such court deems reasonable and enforceable, then this Agreement shall automatically be considered to have been amended and revised
to reflect the maximum time period or geographic area that such court deems enforceable.


 


7.4          Independent Covenants. All
of the covenants in this Article 7 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement,
and the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Executive against the Company or any of its Affiliates, whether predicated
on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants.

8.            Proprietary Information.


 


The Executive agrees during his employment
with the Company and within three (3) years thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence and trust, and not to use or disclose to
any person, firm or corporation any Proprietary Information without the prior written consent of the Company, except as necessary
in carrying out his duties as an employee of the Company for the benefit of the Company. "Proprietary Information"
means any information of a proprietary, confidential or secret nature that may be disclosed to the Executive that relates to the
business of the Company or of any parent, subsidiary, Affiliate, customer or supplier of the Company or any other party with whom
the Company agrees to hold information of such party in confidence ("Relevant Parties"). Such Proprietary Information
includes, but is not limited to, Inventions (as defined below), research, product plans, products, services, business strategies,
personnel information, customer lists, customers, markets, technical information, forecasts, marketing, finances or other business
information of the Company and its Affiliates. This information shall remain confidential whether it was disclosed to the Executive
either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or observation. The Executive understands that Proprietary Information

of the Executive or others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the items involved.


 


9.            Former Employer Information.


 


The Executive agrees that he will not, during
his employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets, or bring onto the premises
of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to any former or concurrent employer or other person
or entity (excluding Chuanglian and any other direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company).


 


10.          Third Party Information.


 


The Executive recognizes that the Company
has received and in the future will receive confidential or proprietary information from third parties. The Executive agrees to
hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and trust, and not to disclose it to any person,
firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out his work for the Company consistent with the Company's agreement
with such third party.


 


11.           No Conflict.


 


The Executive represents and warrants that
the Executive's execution of this Agreement, his employment with the Company, and the performance of his proposed duties under
this Agreement shall not violate any obligations he may have to any former employer or other party, including any obligations with
respect to proprietary or confidential information or intellectual property rights of such party.


 


12.           Inventions. 


 


12.1         Inventions Retained and Licensed.
The Executive has attached, as Exhibit C, a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments,
improvements, and trade secrets which were made by the Executive prior to the Executive's employment with the Company ("Prior
Inventions"), which belong to the Executive, and which relate to the Company's actual and/or proposed business, products
or research and development. If, in the course of his employment with the Company, the Executive incorporates into a Company product,
process or machine a Prior Invention owned by the Executive or in which the Executive has an interest, the Company is hereby granted
and shall have a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use and sell
such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process or machine.

12.2          Assignment of Inventions.
The Executive agrees that he will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and
benefit of the Company, and hereby irrevocably assign to the Company, or its designee, all the Executive's right, title, and interest
in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, drawings, discoveries,
ideas, formulas, processes, compositions of matter, software, databases, mask works, computer programs (including all source codes)
and related documentation, algorithms, engineering and reverse engineering, technology, hardware configuration information, logos,
trade names, trademarks, patents, patent applications, copyrights, trade secrets or know-how, which the Executive may solely or
jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice ("Inventions"),
while the Executive is employed by the Company. The Executive further acknowledges that all original works of authorship which
are made by the Executive (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during his employment with the Company and which
are protectible by copyright are "works made for hire," as that term is defined in the United States Copyright
Act and that the Company will be considered the author and owner of such works. The Executive understands and agrees that the decision
whether or not to commercialize or market any Invention developed by the Executive solely or jointly with others is within the
Company's sole discretion and for the Company's sole benefit and that no royalty will be due to the Executive as a result of the
Company's efforts to commercialize or market any such Invention.


 


12.3          Waiver of Moral Rights. To
the utmost extent legally permitted, the Executive also hereby forever waives and agrees never to assert any and all Moral Rights
(as defined below) he may have in or with respect to any Invention, even after termination of his work on behalf of the Company.
"Moral Rights" mean any rights to claim authorship of an
Invention to object to or prevent the modification of any Invention, or to withdraw from circulation or control the publication
or distribution of any Invention, and any similar right, existing under judicial or statutory law of any country in the world,
or under any treaty, regardless of whether or not such right is denominated or generally referred to as a "moral right."


 


12.4          Maintenance of Records. The
Executive agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions made by the Executive (solely or jointly
with others) during the Executive's employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings,
and any other format that may be specified by the Company. The records will be provided to, and remain the sole property of, the
Company at all times.


 


12.5          Patent and Copyright Registrations.
The Executive agrees to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company's expense, in every proper way, to secure the Company's
rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights, trade secret rights or other intellectual property rights
relating thereto in any and all countries. The Executive will disclose to the Company all pertinent information and data which
the Company deems necessary for the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and execute all instruments
necessary to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees,
the sole and exclusive right, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights, or other
intellectual property rights relating thereto. The Executive further agrees that the Executive's obligation to execute or cause
to be executed, when it is in the Executive power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination
of this Agreement. If the Company is unable, because of the Executive's mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason,
to secure his signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any patents or copyright registrations covering the Inventions
assigned to the Company as above, then the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized
officers and agents as his agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in the Executive's behalf and stead to execute and file any
such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters, patent or copyright
registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Executive.

The Company and Executive mutually agree
that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, or any other dispute between
the parties, shall be submitted to mediation before a mutually agreeable mediator, which cost is to be borne equally by the parties
hereto. In the event the Parties fail to agree on a mediator, or mediation is unsuccessful in resolving the claim or controversy
within one (1) month after the commencement of mediation, such claim or controversy shall be resolved by arbitration in Hong Kong
