	(5)	Pursuant to the Service Agreement, Party B shall pay to Party A certain technical service fee. However, up to now, the technical service fee is still not yet paid and the daily operation of Party B has a material effect on its ability to pay to Party A the technical service fee; 


 


	(6)	Party C constitutes the shareholders of Party B and has a 100% equity interest in Party B. Kuan Song and Pan Zong hold a 90% equity interest and a 10% equity interest respectively in Acorn Network Technology. 


 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and
the mutual agreements contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:


 


	1.	To ensure Party B’s daily operation and management, Party A agrees to provide guarantee for Party B’s obligations to a third party under any contract or agreement entered into between Party B and a third party or other transactions at the request of a third party and then a guarantee agreement will be entered into. Party B agrees to provide counter-guarantee with its accounts receivable and its assets in connection with the aforesaid Party A’s guarantee. 


 




     


     


    

 


	2.	As a condition precedent to Article 1 hereof and to ensure the performance of other operation agreements between Party A and Party B (for example, the payment of Party B’s technical service fee), Party B and Party C (i.e., Party B’s shareholder) hereby agree that without the prior written consent of Party A, Party B shall not carry out any transaction which may materially affect its assets, obligations, rights or operation or management, including, but not limited to: 


 


	 	(1)	borrow money from or assume debt for any third party; 


 


	 	(2)	purchase or sell any assets or rights or interests from or to any third party, including, but not limited to, any intellectual property rights; 


 


	 	(3)	provide any third party with guarantee interest in Party B’s assets or intellectual property rights; 


 


	 	(4)	transfer to any third party any agreement with respect to Party B’s business. 


 


	3.	To ensure the performance of other operation agreements between Party A and Party B (for example, the payment of Party B’s technical service fee), Party B and Party C (i.e., Party B’s shareholder) hereby agree to accept company policies and guidance provided by Party A from time to time with respect to Party B’s employment and dismissal of employees, daily operation and management and financial management policies. 


 


	4.	Party B and Party C (i.e., Party B’s shareholder) hereby agree that: (1) the persons appointed by Party A or its affiliates will attend and exercise the voting right at the meeting of shareholder of Party B on behalf of Party C (i.e., Party B’s shareholder); (2) Party B will appoint candidates nominated by Party A or its affiliates as Party B’s directors and undertake that the constitution of the board of directors of Party B and the directors’ rights shall be in consistency with those of the board of directors of Party A; (3) Party B will appoint persons employed and designated by Party A as Party B’s general manager and other senior management persons; (4) Party B and Party C will amend Party B’s articles of association in accordance with the above agreement. If such candidates as nominated by Party A or its affiliate no longer act as a director of Party A or its affiliate or are no longer employed by Party A or its affiliate, whether they are voluntarily resigned or dismissed by Party A, they will accordingly no longer hold any positions in Party B. In such case, Party B shall appoint other management persons employed or designated by Party A. 


 


	5.	Party B and Party C (i.e., Party B’s shareholder) hereby agree and acknowledge that, in addition to relevant provisions in Article 1 hereof, if Party B needs to fulfill any guarantee or needs any guarantee for its working capital to be borrowed during its operation, Party B shall first apply to Party A for such guarantee. In such case, Party A shall have the right but no obligation to provide Party B with proper guarantee. If Party A does not provide such guarantee, it shall promptly send a written notice to Party B for Party B’s seeking guarantee from a third party. If Party A is willing to provide guarantee, Party A will enter into a contract with Party B or the parties may otherwise enter into a guarantee agreement. Party A’s warrant hereunder does not by itself constitute Party A’s obligation to act as a guarantor under any guarantee agreement which has not yet been signed by Party A. 


 


	6.	If any of the agreements between Party A and Party B is expired or terminated, Party A shall have the right but no obligation to terminate all of the agreements between Party A and Party B, including but not limited to the Service Agreement. 


 


	7.	This Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by agreement in writing executed by each of the Parties. Any such amendment or supplement is an integral part of this Agreement with the same force and effect as this Agreement.
