To the Company’s Knowledge, no executive officer is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any term of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of a third party, and to the Company’s Knowledge, the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any Subsidiary to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.  The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance, and have complied, with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Since January 1, 2012, none of the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has conducted or initiated any internal investigation or made a voluntary, directed, or involuntary disclosure to any Governmental Authority or similar agency with respect to any alleged act or omission arising under or relating to any noncompliance with the FCPA, the Bribery Act or any Other Anticorruption Law.

The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Owned Intellectual Property Rights, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Person that has created, developed or contributed to any material Owned IP has executed a valid, present assignment of all of such Person’s right, title and interest therein to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (or all such right, title and interest is vested in the Company or a Subsidiary as a matter of law).

The Company and each of the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as is prudent and customary in the businesses and locations in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of cancellation of any such insurance, nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, will it or any Subsidiary be unable to renew their respective existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.

The Company is, and at all times since January 1, 2014 has been, in compliance in all material respects with all of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) which are applicable to it as of the Closing Date.  The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared, and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer to material information required to be included in Company’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act.  The Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have, at all times since January 1, 2014, disclosed to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Board (A) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data, and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls, and the Company has made available prior to the date hereof to the Purchaser copies of any material written materials relating to the foregoing.

The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the principal executive officer and its principal financial officer about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.  Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  The Company has not, at any time since January 1, 2014, received any notice or correspondence from any accountant relating to any potential material weakness in any part of the internal controls over financial reporting of the Company or the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.  Each of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer and each former principal financial officer of the Company, as applicable) has, at all times since January 1, 2014, made all certifications required by Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act and Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to the SEC Reports, and the statements contained in such certifications were true and correct on the date such certifications were made. For purposes of this Section 3.1(r) “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Except as set forth in Section 3.1(s) of the Disclosure Schedule, no person or entity will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(t)    Private Placement.  Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement and the accuracy of the information disclosed in the Accredited Investor Questionnaire provided by the Purchaser, no registration under the Securities Act is 

required for the offer and sale of the Shares by the Company to the Purchaser under the Transaction Documents.  The issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Principal Trading Market.

The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares will not be, an “investment company,” an affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” within the meaning of such terms under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The Company has not, in the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof, received written notice from the Principal Trading Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of the Principal Trading Market.  The Company is and has been in compliance with all listing and maintenance requirements of the Principal Trading Market.
(x)    Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreements.  The Company has not adopted any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company.

3.2    Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.  Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows:
(a)    Organization; Authority.  Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser and performance by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if Purchaser is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of Purchaser.  Each Transaction document to which it is a party has been duly executed by Purchaser, and when delivered by Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application, or (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
(b)    No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment  or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the ability of Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder.
(c)    Investment Intent.  Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and not with a view to, or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and has no present intention of distributing any of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, provided, however, that by making the representations herein, Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Shares for any minimum period of time and reserves the right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.  Purchaser understands that it may not be able to sell any of the Shares without prior registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption from such 

registration requirement.  Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.  Purchaser does not presently have any agreement, plan or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute or effect any distribution of any of the Shares (or any securities which are derivatives thereof) to or through any person or entity; Purchaser is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered as a broker-dealer.
(d)    Purchaser Status.  At the time Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
(e)    General Solicitation.  Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general advertisement.
(f)    Experience of Purchaser.  Purchaser, either alone or together with its Representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.  Purchaser acknowledges that it has not received any legal or tax advice from the Company or any of its Representatives with respect the transactions contemplated hereby.
(g)    Access to Information.  Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Disclosure Schedules and SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares, and (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects.  Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser or its Representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Schedules and SEC Reports and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.  Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares.
(h)    Certain Trading Activities.  Other than with respect to the purchase of Shares hereunder or pursuant to a transaction in compliance with Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act, Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with Purchaser, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that Purchaser was first contacted by the Company or any other Person regarding the specific investment contemplated hereby.  Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any purchase or sale of securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly disclosed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, because the Purchaser is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of Purchaser’s assets, the representation and covenant set forth above shall apply only with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that has knowledge about the financing transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  Purchaser has complied with its obligations under 

that certain Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2016 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), by and between SDIC Fund Management Co., Ltd. and the Company.
(i)    Brokers and Finders.  No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company or the Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Purchaser.
(j)    Independent Investment Decision.  Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents.  Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.  Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares.  
(k)    Reliance on Exemptions.  Purchaser understands that the Shares being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Purchaser to acquire the Shares.
(l)    No Governmental Review.  Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.
(m)    Regulation M.  Purchaser is aware that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of Common Stock and other activities with respect to the Common Stock by the Purchaser. 
(n)    Sufficiency of Funds.  Purchaser has, and at the Closing will have, sufficient funds to timely pay the Subscription Amount, without delay, at the Closing.   
(o)    Foreign Investors.  If it is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Rule 902 of Regulation S of the Securities Act, Purchaser further represents that:
(i)    Purchaser has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (A) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (B) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (C) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained and (D) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares;
(ii)    Purchaser’s subscription and payment for, and such Purchaser’s continued beneficial ownership of the Shares, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of such Purchaser’s jurisdiction; and
(iii)    Purchaser is not a “10-percent shareholder” as defined in Section 871(h) of the Code.

(p)    Ownership of Common Stock.  Purchaser does not own (beneficially or of record) any shares of Common Stock or any option, warrant or other right to acquire any shares of Common Stock.  
The Company and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that no party to this Agreement has made or makes any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Article III and the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE IV.     
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1    Transfer Restrictions.  
(a)    Compliance with Laws.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV, Purchaser covenants that the Shares may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, 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 compliance with any other applicable state and federal securities laws.  In connection with any transfer of the Shares other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Company, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 (provided that the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and, if applicable, broker representation letters) that the securities may be sold pursuant to such rule) or (iv) in connection with a bona fide 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 and reasonably acceptable to the Company, 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 Shares under the Securities Act.  As a condition of such transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the obligations of Purchaser following the Closing under this Article IV and shall have the rights of the Purchaser under this Article IV and the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such transferred Shares. 
(b)    Legends.  The Shares shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(c):
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) 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 OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.      
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in, some or all of the legended Shares in connection with applicable securities laws, pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in compliance with a bona fide margin loan.  Such a pledge 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 shall be required in connection with a subsequent transfer or foreclosure following default by the Purchaser transferee of the pledge.  No notice shall be required of such pledge, but Purchaser’s transferee shall promptly notify the Company of any such subsequent transfer or foreclosure.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Company shall not be responsible for any pledges relating to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the Shares or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement between the Purchaser and its pledgee or secured party.  At the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares, 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.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c), any Shares 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)    Removal of Legends.  The legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend or any other legend to the holder of the applicable Shares upon which it is stamped or if the applicable Shares are evidenced by a book entry notification, cause the Transfer Agent to remove restrictions under the Securities Act that are stated to apply to such Shares on the books and records of the Transfer Agent or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), if (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided that, if the Purchaser is selling pursuant to an effective registration statement registering the Shares for resale, the Purchaser agrees to only sell such Shares during such time that such registration statement is effective and not withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such registration statement), (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions.  Following the earlier of (i) the Effective Date or (ii) Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of Shares, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company shall cause Company Counsel, or such other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Purchaser, to issue to the Transfer Agent the legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions.  Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, Company Counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company.  Following the Effective Date, or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for certain Shares, the Company will no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by Purchaser to the Transfer Agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing Shares or, if the applicable Shares are evidenced by book entry notation, delivery by the Purchaser to the Transfer Agent (with notice to the Company) of an appropriate instruction letter (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer), and any other documents required by Section 4.1(a), deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or remove such legend from such Shares evidenced by book entry notation.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1(c).  Certificates for Shares subject to legend removal hereunder may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC as directed by Purchaser.

The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to the Transfer Agent (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to credit shares to the applicable balance accounts on the books of the Transfer Agent, registered in the name of Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Shares.  The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 4.1(d), subject to any stop transfer instructions that we may issue to you from time to time, will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Shares, and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  If Purchaser effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares in accordance with this Section 4.1, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct the Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts on the books of the Transfer Agent in such name and in such denominations as specified by Purchaser to effect such sale, transfer or assignment.  In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the Transfer Agent shall issue such shares to Purchaser, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with this Section 4.1 and by crediting such shares to the applicable balance account at DTC.  Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Shares shall be borne by the Company.

4.2    Furnishing of Information.  In order to enable the Purchaser to sell the Shares under Rule 144, for a period of one year from the Closing, the Company shall make all required filings under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and 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.  For a period of one (1) year from the Closing, or any longer period during which the Purchaser may be considered an affiliate of the Company, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and make publicly available the information described in Rule 144(c)(2), if the provision of such information will allow the Purchaser to sell the Shares under Rule 144.  

4.3    Integration.  From and after the date hereof, the Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable 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 may reasonably be expected to be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares to the Purchaser, or that may reasonably be expected to be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require the Company to obtain stockholder approval prior to the Closing or the closing of such other transaction.

4.4    Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity.  On or before the fourth (4th) Trading Day immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission describing the terms of the Transaction Documents (and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K the material Transaction Documents).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser or any Affiliate or investment adviser of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser or any Affiliate or investment adviser of the Purchaser in any press release or filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with (A) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement; and (B) the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, request of the Staff of the Commission or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (ii); provided, that, in either case (i) or (ii), such disclosure is in substantial conformity with the Current Report on Form 8-K.  

4.5    Confidentiality.

Moreover, neither the Purchaser nor the Company shall have any obligations to share with the other any confidential business information unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including to the extent such information is requested by CFIUS.  No party shall communicate with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other party sufficient prior notice of such communication and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to review and comment on any proposed written communication (subject to the 

terms of this Section 4.7) and, with respect to any oral communication, to attend and/or participate in such conversation or meeting.  The parties, in cooperation with each other, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the CFIUS Approval, and without limiting the foregoing, the parties shall take all such reasonable actions and agree to such reasonable requirements or conditions to mitigate any national security concerns as may be requested or required by CFIUS in connection with, or as a condition of, the CFIUS Approval; provided, however, that (i) the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be required enter into any agreement that interferes with the Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ ability to participate as an observer or director on the board of directors of the Company or to exercise the full rights of ownership of the Shares; and (ii) neither the Purchaser nor the Company (nor any of their Affiliates) shall be required to (a) propose, commit to or effect, by consent decree, agreement, hold-separate or administrative order, or otherwise, the sale, transfer, license, divestiture, hold-separate or other disposition of any Shares or any of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (b) propose, commit to or effect, by consent decree, agreement, hold-separate or administrative order, or otherwise any conditions, restrictions, or requirements that would reasonably be expected to limit (other than nominally) the Company’s growth or expansion into China or otherwise on a worldwide basis, (c) defend any judicial or administrative action or similar Proceeding instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any Person under Exon-Florio or seek to have any stay, restraining order, injunction or similar order entered by any Governmental Entity vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned, or (d) agree to do any of the foregoing.  The actions set forth in clauses (a) through (d) of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence are referred to as a “Burdensome Condition”.  
4.8    Supplements to Disclosure Schedule.  The Company shall on one occasion not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, by notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (which notice shall indicate if the Company believes that such notice discloses matters that, absent such amendments or supplements, would cause the failure of the condition set forth in Section 5.1(a)), amend or supplement by means of a written notice to Purchaser specifically identifying that it is a supplement delivered pursuant to this Section 4.8 any one (1) or more Sections of the Disclosure Schedules, to reflect any Effects first arising or, in the case of representations given to the Company’s Knowledge, first becoming known to the Company during the period subsequent to the date hereof, by providing the Purchaser with written notice setting forth the proposed amendment or supplement and specifying the Section or Sections of the Disclosure Schedules and the specific representations and warranties to which the supplement or amendment relates affected thereby; provided, however, that if any Section of the Disclosure Schedules is amended or supplemented pursuant to this Section 4.8 in a manner that either individually or in the aggregate with all other such prior amendments or supplements made to the Disclosure Schedules pursuant to this Section 4.8 discloses matters that, absent such amendments or supplements, would cause the failure of the condition set forth in Section 5.1(a) and such condition has not been (x) waived in writing by the Purchaser or (y) cured by the Company, no later than the earlier of thirty (30) days after the Purchaser’s receipt of such disclosure and the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Closing Date (such earlier date being the “Supplement Effective Time”), then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within five (5) Business Days following the Supplement Effective Time and prior to the Closing.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement as permitted above, such amendment and supplement will be effective to cure and correct solely for purposes of Section 5.1(a) any breach, inaccuracy or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty corrected thereby as specified in the notice to Purchaser, but shall not be effective for any other purpose of this Agreement.

4.9    Principal Trading Market Listing.  In the time and manner required by the Principal Trading Market, the Company shall prepare and file with such Principal Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Shares and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all steps necessary to cause all of the Shares to be approved for listing on the Principal Trading Market as promptly as possible thereafter.

Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any of the Company or its Affiliates shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.11 by the Company.  Nothing in this Section 4.11 shall eliminate or alter the Company’s obligation under this Agreement to complete the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement so long as this Agreement has not been terminated.  

4.12    Conduct of Business.  The Company agrees that during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, conduct its respective operations only in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and to use their commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact their respective business organizations, keep available the services of their officers and employees and maintain satisfactory relationships with licensors, suppliers, distributors, clients and others having business relationships with them.

6.4    Amendments; Waivers; No Additional Consideration.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver provision is sought.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.  

6.5    Construction.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.  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 provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to sections or exhibits, such reference shall be to a section of or an exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof,” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to the date first above written.  Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender include each other gender, (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, and (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement.

6.6    Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  This Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of Purchaser (other than by merger).  The Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder in whole or in part to any controlled Affiliate, provided such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Shares, by the terms and conditions of this Agreement that apply to the “Purchaser”; provided, further, that Purchaser shall remain liable for any and all obligations under this Agreement arising up to and including the Closing notwithstanding any such assignment occurring prior to the Closing.  

6.7    No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  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.

6.8    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 Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretation, 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 Delaware Courts.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware 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 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 Delaware 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.  

6.9    Survival.  Subject to applicable statute of limitations, the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares.

6.10    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 the parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, 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 signature page were an original thereof.

6.11    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 all other terms and provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired so long as the economic and legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  In such event, the parties hereto 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.

6.12    Replacement of Shares.  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares 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 and the Transfer Agent of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Transfer Agent for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by the Transfer Agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the Transfer Agent.  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 Shares.  If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares 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.

6.13    Remedies.  
(a)    The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, may not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.13, the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without any requirement for the posting of security, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of, and to prevent or cure breaches of this Agreement by Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance to cause Purchaser to cause the Subscription Amount to be funded and to consummate the Closing in accordance with Section 2.1 if, but only if, (a) Purchaser is required to complete the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1 and Purchaser fails to 

complete the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.1 and (b) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing that, it is ready, willing and able to close and if specific performance is granted and the Subscription Amount is funded, then the Closing will occur in accordance with Section 2.1.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (i) either party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may concurrently seek (A) specific performance or other equitable relief, subject in all respects to this Section 6.13 and (B) payment of the Termination Fee and monetary damages, if, as and when required pursuant to this Agreement, but under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive (1) both a grant of specific performance to cause the Subscription Amount to be funded at the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.13 or other equitable relief, on the one hand, and payment of the Termination Fee, monetary damages and/or any other amounts, on the other hand, or (2) both payment of any monetary damages whatsoever, on the one hand, and payment of any of the Termination Fee and/or any other amounts, if any, as and when due, pursuant to Section 6.17, on the other hand.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except for the right to specific performance set forth in this Section 6.13 (solely to the extent expressly permitted by and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.13), the aggregate liability of Purchaser and the Purchaser Related Parties under this Agreement for any reason (under any legal theory), including for any willful breach, shall not exceed the amount of the Termination Fee plus reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) in connection with actions to collect the such amounts.
(b)    The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, institute in the name of or on behalf of the Company or any other Person any action or bring any other claim arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, against Purchaser or any Purchaser Related Party except for (i) claims seeking specific performance of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder (solely to the extent expressly permitted by and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.13), (ii) claims seeking monetary damages for breach, which shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to the Termination Fee plus reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) in connection with actions to collect such amounts and (iii) claims seeking payment of the Termination Fee, plus reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) in connection with actions to collect the Termination Fee, or any portion thereof. 

6.14    Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or the Purchaser 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 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. 

6.15    Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or 

rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event. 

6.16    Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated and the transaction contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time before the Closing:
(a)    by mutual written consent of the Purchaser and the Company;
(b)    by either the Purchaser or the Company:
(i)    if, following the date hereof, any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued or entered any restraining order, injunction or similar order or legal restraint or prohibition which remains in effect that enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and such order, injunction, legal restraint or prohibition shall have become final and non-appealable; or
(ii)    if the Closing shall not have occurred by August 15, 2017 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.16(b)(ii) shall not have breached in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have been the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date. 
(c)    by the Purchaser, 
(i)    if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred and such breach or failure to perform would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure to perform either cannot be cured or, if curable, has not been cured prior to the earlier of (1) the fifteenth (15th) calendar day following receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Purchaser and (2) the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately prior to the Outside Date; 
(ii)    if a breach of Section 4.11 shall have occurred; or 
(iii)    if the Company or the Board or any committee thereof shall have approved or recommended, or resolved to approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or a Definitive Transaction Agreement for an Acquisition Proposal or if the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have entered into a Definitive Transaction Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal;
(d)    by the Company, 
(i)    if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred and such breach or failure to perform would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b) not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure to perform either cannot be cured or has not been cured prior to the earlier of (1) the fifteenth (15th) calendar day following receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Purchaser and (2) the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately prior to the Outside Date; or 

(ii)    if (A) the Company shall have received an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal, (B) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under Section 4.11, (C) the Board of Directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that it is required to terminate this Agreement and pursue such unsolicited Acquisition Proposal in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, and the Company concurrently with the termination of this Agreement, enters into, a Definitive Transaction Agreement with respect to such unsolicited Acquisition Proposal, and (D) prior to or concurrently with such termination, the Company pays to the Purchaser the amounts contemplated by Section 6.17(d); or
(iii)    if the Closing shall not have occurred by the date that is two (2) Business Days following the date the Closing should have occurred under Section 2.1(b) because Purchaser has failed to transfer from China the Subscription Amount or to cause the Subscription Amount to be transferred from China to the Company, and, the Company has delivered to Purchaser an irrevocable written notice confirming that all conditions set forth in Section 5.2 have been satisfied (or that the Company is willing to waive any unsatisfied conditions in Section 5.2) and that the Company is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing. 

6.17    Effect of Termination; Termination Fee.

(c)    If the Company terminates this Agreement under Section 6.16(d)(ii) or the Purchaser terminates this Agreement under Section 6.16(c)(iii), then the Company shall, in the case of a termination under Section 6.16(d)(ii), prior to or concurrently with such termination, and in the case of a termination under Section 6.16(c)(iii), within two (2) Business Days following such termination, pay or cause to be paid to the Purchaser the Termination Fee.

The amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.17(c) constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser’s right to receive the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 6.17(c) shall be of no further force or effect if the Purchaser or any Purchaser Related Party 

under its control commences any Proceeding (except any claim in respect of fraud) as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder against the Company or any Company Related Party other than for the payment of the Termination Fee.    
(d)    If the Purchaser terminates this Agreement under Section 6.16(c)(ii), then the Company shall within two (2) Business Days following such termination, pay or cause to be paid to the Purchaser the Expense Reimbursement.  Any fee due under this Section 6.17(d) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account provided in writing by the Purchaser to the Company on the date of termination of this Agreement; provided, that the provisions of this Section 6.17(d) shall be subject to Section 6.17(e).  The amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.17(d) constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser’s right to receive the Expense Reimbursment pursuant to this Section 6.17(d) shall be of no further force or effect if the Purchaser or any Purchaser Related Party under its control commences any Proceeding (except any claim in respect of fraud) as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder against the Company or any Company Related Party other than for the payment of the Expense Reimbursement.  
(e)    In the event this Agreement is terminated and the Company is entitled to receive the Termination Fee from Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.17(b), the Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and its Affiliates, on one hand, against the Purchaser and the Purchaser Related Parties, on the other hand, in each case, for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except in the case of fraud).  Upon payment of the Termination Fee, neither Purchaser nor any of the Purchaser Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the Purchaser be required to pay the Termination Fee more than once.  In the event this Agreement is terminated and the Purchaser is entitled to receive the Termination Fee from the Company pursuant to Section 6.17(c) or the Expense Reimbursement pursuant to Section 6.17(d), the Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, on one hand, against the Company and the Company Related Parties, on the other hand, in each case, for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except in the case of fraud).  Upon payment of the Termination Fee or Expense Reimbursement, as applicable, neither the Company nor any of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee or the Expense Reimbursement, as applicable, more than once.

This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto and.

WHEREAS, the shares of Common Stock acquired by the Purchaser in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, and any other shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents of which the Shareholder or the Purchaser acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Exchange Act”), in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) after the date hereof, including (i) by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, (ii) pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants to purchase such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents; and (iii) upon the conversion of any convertible debentures or exchange for debt, in each case, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (all such shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser, the “Shares”). 
WHEREAS, this Agreement sets out the terms and conditions of, among other things, the agreement between the Company and the Shareholder related to certain limitations on the Shareholder’s ownership of the Shares and the Shareholder’s right to nominate a member to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”). 
NOW, THEREFORE, this Agreement witnesses that, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Lock-Up Agreement.
1.1    The Shareholder agrees that the Shares whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Shareholder or its Principal Shareholder Affiliates (collectively, the “Lock-Up Shares”) shall be subject to the restrictions and obligations as set forth in this Section 1.
1.2    The Shareholder and its Principal Shareholder Affiliates shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, during the Lock-Up Period (as defined below):  (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of or lend, directly or indirectly, Lock-Up Shares; (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; (iii) subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated the date hereof, between the Company and the Shareholder, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Lock-Up Shares; or (iv) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the 

foregoing (each of the foregoing a “Transfer”).  The “Lock-Up Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date of the Effective Time and continuing until and including the date that is 18 months after the date of the Effective Time, at which time the Lock-Up Period shall automatically terminate without any action by any party, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Company and Shareholder.  
1.3    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1, the Shareholder and its Principal Shareholder Affiliates may Transfer any or all of the Lock-Up Shares (i) by gift or to any member of the immediate family of the Shareholder or such Principal Shareholder Affiliates or to any trust or partnership for the direct or indirect benefit of the Shareholder or such Principal Shareholder Affiliates or the immediate family of the Shareholder or such Principal Shareholder Affiliates (including by will or intestate succession), provided that any such Transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (ii) to any Affiliates (as defined below), associates, limited partners, members or shareholders of the Shareholder, (iii) pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction available to all holders of Common Stock, and (iv) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that in any such case it shall be a condition to the Transfer pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, that the transferee executes an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Lock-Up Shares subject to the provisions of this Agreement and there shall be no further Transfer of such Lock-Up Shares except in accordance with this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, a “Transfer” shall not include any direct or indirect transfer of the equity securities of Shareholder or such Principal Shareholder Affiliates or any issuance of equity securities by the Shareholder or such Principal Shareholder Affiliates.  
1.4    Without limiting the restrictions or obligations herein, any Transfer shall remain at all times subject to applicable securities laws.
1.5    The Shareholder agrees that the Company may place an appropriate restrictive legend on any stock certificates representing the Lock-Up Shares, or if the applicable Lock-Up Shares are evidenced by a book entry notification, state that such restrictions apply to such Lock-Up Shares on the books and records of the Transfer Agent issued to the Shareholder to indicate that such shares are subject to the terms of this Agreement.  The Company agrees that it will (or will instruct the Transfer Agent to) promptly remove such restrictive legend upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and that the Company shall pay all costs associated with such removal (including all reasonable legal and broker fees of the Shareholder).

The Company renounces any interest in a Corporate Opportunity and any expectancy that a Corporate Opportunity will be offered to the Company, 

7

and at or prior to the Effective Time, the Board shall adopt resolutions in accordance with Section 122(17) of the Delaware General Corporation Law to give effect to such renunciation.

In the event that such protective order is not promptly obtained, or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, (x) the Shareholder or such representative, as the case may be, may disclose to any tribunal or other person only that portion of the Company’s confidential information which is legally required to be disclosed or disclosure of which is otherwise necessary to avoid sanction for contempt of court (or such other tribunal or person) and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, at the Company’s sole expense, to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Company’s confidential information and (y) the Shareholder shall not be liable for such disclosure unless such disclosure to such tribunal or other person was caused by, or resulted from, a previous disclosure by the Shareholder or any of its representatives, which disclosure was not permitted under the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by this Section 5, the Shareholder and its Affiliates may disclose confidential information in connection with any 

8

This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and (ii) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such assignment or delegation that is not consented to shall be null and void.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any person to whom any Shares are sold, transferred or assigned).
6.6    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 all other terms and provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired so long as the economic and legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  In such event, the parties hereto 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.
6.7    Remedies Cumulative.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party shall be deemed cumulative (but without duplication) with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
6.8    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 Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the Delaware Courts.  Each party hereto hereby 

11

irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, 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 Delaware 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.  
6.9    Termination.  The term of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from the Effective Time until the earliest of the following dates:  (a) the date as of which the parties hereto terminate this Agreement by written agreement; (b) the date as of which the last of the rights and obligations provided by Section 1.4 have expired and are in no further effect; (c) the closing of a transaction or series of related transactions deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, winding up, merger or consolidation of the Company, provided, that in the case of a merger or consolidation, this Agreement shall terminate if and only if the Shareholder receives cash in exchange for all the Shares and the acquiror is a Person other than the Company, the Shareholder or their respective Affiliates; and (d) a termination in accordance with Section 4.6.  
6.10    Amendment.  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against which the waiver is to be effective.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any party hereto 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 right hereunder.
6.11    Rules of Construction.  The parties hereto agree that they have been (or have had the opportunity to be) represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.
6.12    Additional Documents, Etc.  Shareholder and the Company shall execute and deliver any additional documents necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.
6.13    Effectiveness.
