Subscription Agreement, including the Terms and Conditions For Purchase of Units
attached hereto as Annex

the date set forth below between China BAK Battery, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the “Company”), and
the Investor.

     

    2.           The
Company has authorized the sale and issuance to certain investors of up to an
aggregate of 5,790,000
units (the “Units”),
each consisting of (i) one share (the “Share,” collectively the
“Shares”) of its common
stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) one
warrant (the “Warrant,”
collectively the “Warrants”) to purchase 0.25
of a share of Common Stock (the fraction amount being the “Warrant Ratio”), subject to
adjustment by the Company’s Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, for a
purchase price of $3.55 per Unit (the “Purchase
Price”).  The Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants
are referred to herein as the “Warrant
Shares.”  The Warrant Shares, together with the Shares and the
Warrants, are referred to herein as the “Securities.”

     

    3.           The
offering and sale of the Units (the “Offering”) are being made
pursuant to (1) an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (including the
Prospectus contained therein (the “Base Prospectus”), the “Registration Statement”)
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), (2) if
applicable, certain “free writing prospectuses” (as that term is defined in Rule
405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”)), that have or will be
filed with the Commission and delivered to the Investor on or prior to the date
hereof and (3) a Prospectus Supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement” and
together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”) containing
certain supplemental information regarding the Units and terms of the offering
that will be filed with the Commission and delivered to the Investor (or made
available to the Investor by the filing by the Company of an electronic version
thereof with the Commission).

     

    4.           The
Company and the Investor agree that the Investor will purchase from the Company
and the Company will issue and sell to the Investor the number of Units set
forth below for the aggregate purchase price set forth below.  The
Units shall be purchased pursuant to the Terms and Conditions for Purchase of
Units attached hereto as Annex I and
incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth
herein.  The Investor acknowledges that the Offering is not being
underwritten by the placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) named in
the Prospectus Supplement and that there is no minimum offering
amount.

     

    5.           The
manner of settlement of the Shares included in the Units purchased by the
Investor shall be as follows:

name and address as set forth below and released by the Transfer Agent to the
Investor through DTC at the Closing directly to the account(s) at Cowen and
Company, LLC (“Cowen”)
identified by the Investor and simultaneously therewith payment shall be made by

      INVESTOR, AND

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (II)

            	
              CONFIRM
      THAT THE ACCOUNT OR ACCOUNTS AT COWEN TO BE CREDITED WITH THE SHARES BEING

    INVESTOR.

            

    

     

    IT IS THE INVESTOR’S
RESPONSIBILITY TO (A) MAKE THE NECESSARY WIRE TRANSFER OR CONFIRM THE PROPER
ACCOUNT BALANCE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND (B) ARRANGE FOR SETTLEMENT BY WAY OF DVP
IN A TIMELY MANNER.  IF THE INVESTOR DOES NOT DELIVER THE AGGREGATE
PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE UNITS OR DOES NOT MAKE PROPER ARRANGEMENTS FOR SETTLEMENT
IN A TIMELY MANNER, THE SHARES AND WARRANTS MAY NOT BE DELIVERED AT CLOSING TO
THE INVESTOR OR THE INVESTOR MAY BE EXCLUDED FROM THE CLOSING
ALTOGETHER.

     

    6.           The

thereof.

     

    7.           The
Investor represents that it (a) is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced

shares presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of
the Units, including investments in securities issued by the Company and
investments in comparable companies, (b) has answered all questions on the
Investor Questionnaire for use in preparation of the Prospectus Supplement and
the answers thereto are true and correct as of the date hereof and will be true

and is relying solely upon (i) the Disclosure Package and the documents
incorporated by reference therein and (ii) the Offering
Information.

     

    8.           The
Investor represents that (a) no action has been or will be taken in any
jurisdiction outside the United States by the Company or the Placement Agent
that would permit an offering of the Units, or possession or distribution of
offering materials in connection with the issue of the Units in any jurisdiction
outside the United States where action for that purpose is required, (b) if the
Investor is outside the United States, it will comply with all applicable laws
and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers,
sells or delivers securities or has in its possession or distributes any
offering material, in all cases at its own expense and (c) the Placement Agent
is not authorized to make and has not made any representation, disclosure or use
of any information in connection with the issue, placement, purchase and sale of
the Units, except as set forth or incorporated by reference in the Base

Investor represents that (a) the Investor has full right, power, authority and
capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against
the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and
except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law) and except as to the enforceability of any rights to
indemnification or contribution that may be violative of the public policy
underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state
securities law, rule or regulation).

     

    10.           The
Investor represents that nothing in this Agreement, the Prospectus or any other
materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of
the Units constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.  The Investor
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 Units.

securities).  Each Investor covenants that it will not engage in any
purchases or sales of the securities of the Company (including Short Sales)
prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
publicly disclosed.  Each Investor agrees that it will not use any of
the Units acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any short position in the
Common Stock if doing so would be in violation of applicable securities
laws.  For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without
limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under
Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, whether or not against the box, and all
types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sales contracts, options,
puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule
16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) and similar arrangements (including on a total
return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker dealers or
foreign regulated brokers.

     

    12.           The
Investor represents that, except as set forth below, (a) it has had no position,
office or other material relationship within the past three years with the
Company or persons known to it to be affiliates of the Company, (b) it is not a
NASD member or an Associated Person (as such term is defined under the NASD
Membership and Registration Rules Section 1011) as of the Closing, and (c)
neither the Investor nor any group of Investors (as identified in a public
filing made with the Commission) of which the Investor is a part in connection
with the Offering of the Units, acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, 20%
or more of the Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for
Common Stock) or the voting power of the Company on a post-transaction
basis.  Exceptions:

     

    

      
        
(If
no exceptions, write “none.” If left blank, response will be deemed to be
“none.”)

    

     

    13.           The
Investor represents that it has received (or otherwise had made available to it
by the filing by the Company of an electronic version thereof with the
Commission) the Base Prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference therein
and any free writing prospectus (collectively, the “Disclosure Package”), prior
to or in connection with the receipt of this Agreement.  The Investor
acknowledges that, prior to the delivery of this Agreement to the Company, the
Investor will receive certain additional information regarding the Offering,
including pricing information (the “Offering Information”). Such
information may be provided to the Investor by any means permitted under the
Act, including in the Prospectus Supplement, a free writing prospectus or oral
communications.

    14.           The
Investor represents that neither the Investor nor any person acting on behalf
of, or pursuant to any understanding with or based upon any information received
from, the Investor has, directly or indirectly, as of the date of this
Subscription Agreement, violated its obligations of confidentiality with respect
to the Offering since the time that the Investor was first contacted by the
Company or its agents with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby.

     

    15.           The
Company represents and warrants to the Investor, that (i) the Company has full
right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary
action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting
parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as to the enforceability of any
rights to indemnification or contribution that may be violative of the public
policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state
securities law, rule or regulation).

     

    16.           The
Company covenants that it will not, for a period of sixty (60) days from the
date hereof (the “Lock-Up
Period”) without the prior written consent of the Cowen, directly or
indirectly offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise
dispose of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, other than the Company’s sale of
the Units hereunder and the issuance of restricted Common Stock or options to
acquire Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s employee benefit plans, qualified
stock option plans or other employee compensation plans as such plans are in
existence on the date hereof and described in the Prospectus and the issuance of
Common Stock pursuant to the valid exercises of options, warrants or rights
outstanding on the date hereof.  The Company will cause Xiangqian Li,
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a shareholder, to furnish to Cowen, on
or prior to the date hereof, a letter pursuant to which he shall agree, among
other things, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, assign, transfer,
pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, or announce the intention to
otherwise dispose of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, not to engage in any swap,
hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part,
directly or indirectly, the economic risk of ownership of Common Stock or any
such securities and not to engage in any short selling of any Common Stock or
any such securities, during the Lock-Up Period, without the prior written
consent of Cowen.  The Company also agrees that during such period,
other than for the sale of the Units hereunder, the Company will not file any
registration statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, under the Securities Act for any such transaction or
which registers, or offers for sale, Common Stock or any securities convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, except for a registration
statement on Form S-8 relating to employee benefit plans.

     

    17.           Notwithstanding
any investigation made by any party to this Agreement or by the Placement Agent,
all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company
and the Investor herein will survive the execution of this Agreement, the
delivery to the Investor of the Units being purchased and the payment
therefor.  The Placement Agent shall be a third party beneficiary with
respect to the representations, warranties and agreements of the Investor in
Sections 7 through 14 hereof.

    18.           No
offer by the Investor to buy Units will be accepted and no part of the Purchase
Price will be delivered to the Company until the Investor has received the
Offering Information and the Company has accepted such offer by countersigning a
copy of this Agreement, and any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without
obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time prior to the Company (or Cowen
on behalf of the Company) sending (orally, in writing or by electronic mail)
notice of its acceptance of such offer.  An indication of interest
will involve no obligation or commitment of any kind until the Investor has been
delivered the Offering Information and this Agreement is accepted and
countersigned by or on behalf of the Company.

     

    19.           The
Company acknowledges that the only material, non-public information relating to
the Company or its subsidiaries that the Company, its employees or agents has
provided to the Investor in connection with the Offering prior to the date
hereof is the existence of the Offering and that neither the Company nor any
other person acting on its behalf has provided the Investor or any other
investor or its respective agents or counsel with any information that the
Company believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public
information which is not otherwise disclosed in the Press Release.

     

    20.           In the
event the Lock-Up Period is waived by Cowen pursuant to Section 16 hereof, the
Company agrees that it will not issue or sell any Common Stock or other equity
or equity-linked securities (other than under existing equity incentive plans or
as a result of the exercise, exchange or conversion of outstanding Company
securities that are exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into Common
Stock) for thirty calendar days from the date of this Subscription Agreement at
less than the per share Purchase Price or equivalent.

     

    21.           The
Company and the Investor agree that the Company shall, (i) prior to the opening
of the financial markets in New York City on the business day immediately after
the date hereof issue a press release announcing the Offering and disclosing all
material information regarding the Offering (the “Press Release”) and (ii)
within the timeframe required, file a current report on Form 8-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to, a form of this
Agreement as an exhibit thereto (the “8-K”).  From and
after the issuance of the Press Release and the 8-K, the Company shall have
publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the
Investor by the Company, if any, or any of its officers or directors in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Company
shall not identify any Investor by name in any press release or public filing,
or otherwise publicly disclose any Investor’s name, without such Investor’s
prior written consent, unless required by law or the rules and regulations of a
national securities exchange, provided, however, that promptly after becoming
aware of any request or requirement to so disclose (a “Disclosure Requirement”), and
in any event prior to any such disclosure, the Company will provide such
Investor with notice of such request or requirement so that such Investor may at
its election seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and the Company
will fully cooperate with such Investor’s efforts to obtain the same; provided,
further, however, if, absent the entry of such a protective order or other
remedy, the Company is compelled by applicable law, rule or regulation or a
court order, subpoena, similar judicial process, regulatory agency or stock
exchange rule to disclose such Investor’s name, the Company may disclose only
that portion of such information that the Company is so compelled to disclose
and will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded to that portion of such information that is being
disclosed.  As of the date hereof, the Company is not aware of any
Disclosure Requirement

Agreement may not be modified or amended except pursuant to an instrument in
writing signed by the Company and the Investor. This Agreement will be governed
by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of law. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts, each of which will constitute an original, but all of
which, when taken together, will constitute but one instrument, and signatures
may be delivered by facsimile or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data
file.

exercisable for shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (any such
offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”),
unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4.

Company shall deliver to the Investor an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any
proposed or intended issuance or sale (the “Offer”) of the Common Stock

Company, and the Company shall issue to the Investor, the number or amount of
Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance upon the terms and

the Investor any of the Offered Securities. The purchase by the Investor of any
Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and
delivery by the Company and the Investor of a purchase agreement relating to
such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Investor and its counsel.

    

    4.7           Any

in such a manner such that the Investor will not be in possession of material
non-public  information, by the twentieth (20th) Business Day, subject to
extension at the discretion of the Company with the consent of the Investor,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld following delivery of the Offer
Notice. If by the twentieth (20th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer
Notice, or later day if extended as set forth above, no public disclosure
regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made,
and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by
the Investor, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the
Investor shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public

permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to the Investor in any 60

    Dear
Sirs:

    
       

      1.           Introductory.  China
BAK Battery, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and
sell to certain purchasers, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a
subscription agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto (the “Subscription Agreement”) to be entered into with such purchasers
(each a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), up to an aggregate of
5,790,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common
stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) one warrant (the
“Warrants”) to purchase 0.25 of a share of Common Stock.  The
aggregate 5,790,000 shares of Common Stock so proposed to be sold is hereinafter
referred to as the “Stock” and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants is hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant
Stock.”  The Warrant Stock, together with the Stock and the Warrants,
are referred to herein as the “Securities.”  The Company hereby
confirms that Cowen and Company, LLC, (“Cowen” or the “Placement Agent”) acted
as Placement Agent in the sale of the Units in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Placement Agent Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the
Subscription Agreement.

       

    

    2.           Agreement
to Act as Placement Agent; Placement of Securities.  On the
basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained
herein, and subject to all the terms and conditions of this
Agreement:

     

    a.           The
Company hereby acknowledges that the Placement Agent acted as its sole agent to
solicit offers for the purchase of all or part of the Units from the Company in
connection with the proposed offering of the Units (the
“Offering”).  Until the Closing Date (as defined in Section 7 hereof),
the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent,
solicit or accept offers to purchase the Stock or the Warrants otherwise than
through the Placement Agent.

     

    b.           The
Company hereby acknowledges that the Placement Agent, as agent of the Company,
used its best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Units from the Company
on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as
defined below).  The Placement Agent shall use reasonable efforts to
assist the Company in obtaining performance by each Purchaser whose offer to
purchase the Units was solicited by the Placement Agent and accepted by the
Company, but the Placement Agent shall not, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, be obligated to disclose the identity of any potential purchaser or
have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not
consummated for any reason.  Under no circumstances will the Placement
Agent be obligated to underwrite or purchase any Units for its own account and,
in soliciting purchases of Units, the Placement Agent acted solely as the
Company's agent and not as principal.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
and except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.b, it is understood and
agreed that the Placement Agent (or its affiliates) may, solely at its
discretion and without any obligation to do so, purchase the Units as
principal.

     

    c.           Offers
for the purchase of Units were solicited by the Placement Agent as agent for the
Company at such times and in such amounts as the Placement Agent deemed
advisable.  The Placement Agent communicated to the Company, orally or
in writing, each reasonable offer to purchase Units received by it as agent of
the Company.  The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers
to purchase the Units and may reject any such offer, in whole or in
part.  The Placement Agent has the right, in its discretion, without
notice to the Company, to reject any offer to purchase Units received by it, in
whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of this
Agreement.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    d.           The
Units are being sold to the Purchasers at a price of US$3.55 per
Unit.  The purchases of the Units by the Purchasers shall be evidenced
by the execution of Subscription Agreements by each of the Purchasers and the
Company.

     

    e.           As
compensation for services rendered, on the Closing Date, the Company shall pay
to the Placement Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account or accounts designated by the Placement Agent, an aggregate amount equal
to 5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the Sale of the Units
and an aggregate amount equal to 5% of the gross proceeds received by the
Company upon exercise of the Warrants.  The fees set forth above shall
supersede any and all fees payable to Cowen pursuant to the terms of the
engagement letter between Cowen and the Company, dated October 10, 2009, as
amended (the “Engagement Letter”), except for the $10,000 retainer paid by the
Company to Cowen pursuant to the Engagement Letter.

       

    

    f.           No
Unit which the Company has agreed to sell pursuant to this Agreement and the
Subscription Agreements shall be deemed to have been purchased and paid for, or
sold by the Company, until such Unit shall have been delivered to the Purchaser
thereof against payment by such Purchaser.  If the Company shall
default in its obligations to deliver Units to a Purchaser whose offer it has
accepted, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Placement Agent harmless
against any loss, claim, damage or expense arising from or as a result of such
default by the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11
herein.

     

    3.           Registration
Statement and Prospectus. The Company has
prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-151985) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and
regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Commission thereunder, and such
amendments to such registration statement (including post effective amendments)
as may have been required to the date of this Agreement.  Such

has been declared effective by the Commission.  Such registration
statement, as amended (including post effective amendments thereto), the
exhibits and any schedules thereto and the documents and information otherwise
deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the Securities Act or
otherwise pursuant to the Rules and Regulations, is herein called the
“Registration Statement.”  If the Company has filed or files an
abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities
Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the
term Registration Statement shall include such Rule 462 Registration
Statement.  The Company will file with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424 under the Securities Act a prospectus supplement relating to the Units to
the form of prospectus included in the Registration Statement.  The
prospectus filed as part of the registration statement in the form in which it
has most recently been filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this
Agreement, is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus” and any prospectus
subject to completion included in the Registration Statement or any preliminary
prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus supplement) relating to the
Units filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and
Regulations is hereinafter called a “Preliminary Prospectus.”  The
final prospectus supplement as filed, along with the Base Prospectus, is
hereinafter called the “Final Prospectus.”

     

    For purposes of this Agreement, all
references to the Registration Statement, the Rule 462 Registration Statement,
the Base Prospectus, a Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any

schedules and other information which is “described,” “contained,” “included” or
“stated” in the Registration Statement, the Rule 462 Registration Statement, the
Base Prospectus, a Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (or other
references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such
financial statements, pro forma financial information and schedules and other
information which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the
Rules and Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement,
the Rule 462 Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, a Preliminary
Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in
this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the
Rule 462 Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, a Preliminary Prospectus
or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the subsequent

    4.           Representations
and Warranties Regarding the Offering.  The Company represents
and warrants to the Placement Agent and the Purchasers, as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date, and agrees with the Placement Agent and the
Purchasers, that:

     

    a.           At
each time of effectiveness, at the date hereof and at the Closing Date, the
Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, complied or
will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the Rules and Regulations and did not and will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading.  The General Disclosure Package (as defined below) as of
the Applicable Time (as defined below), at the date hereof and at the Closing
Date, and the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, at the time of
filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and at the Closing Date,
did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.  The representations and warranties set forth in
the two immediately preceding sentences shall not apply to statements in or
omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or the Final Prospectus in reliance upon, and in conformity with,
written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent specifically
for use in the preparation thereof.  The Registration Statement
(including each document incorporated by reference therein) contains all
exhibits and schedules required to be filed by the Securities Act or the Rules
and Regulations.  No order preventing or suspending the effectiveness
or use of the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus is in effect and no
proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending, or, to the
knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by the
Commission.

     

    
      b.           The
documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, when they became effective or were
filed with the Commission, as the case may be, conformed in all material
respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as
applicable, were filed on a timely basis with the Commission and none of such
documents, when they were filed (or, if amendments to such documents were filed,
when such amendments were filed), contained an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.  Any further documents so filed and incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the
Final Prospectus, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will
conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act, and
will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The
Prospectus contains all required information under the Securities Act with
respect to the Units and the distribution of the Units.  As used in
this Agreement, “General Disclosure Package” means the Base Prospectus, the
Prospectus most recently filed with the Commission before the time of this
Agreement (including a Preliminary Prospectus, if applicable), any subscription
agreement between the Company and the Investors, and any issuer free writing
prospectus as defined in Rule 433 of the Act (an “Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus”), if any, that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in
writing to treat as part of the General Disclosure Package.  As used
in this Agreement, “Applicable Time” means 11:00 P.M., New York time on the date
of this Agreement or such other time as agreed to by the Company and the
Placement Agent.

       

    

    c.           The
financial statements of the Company, together with the related notes, included
or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus comply in all material respects with
the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and
fairly present the financial condition of the Company as of the dates indicated
and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods therein
specified in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied throughout the periods involved; and the supporting
schedules included in the Registration Statement present fairly the information
required to be stated therein.  The financial statements, together
with the related notes, included or incorporated by reference in the General
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus comply in all material respects with
Regulation S-X..

     

    d.           The
summary and selected financial data included or incorporated by reference in the
General Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and the Registration Statement
fairly present the information shown therein as at their respective dates and
for the respective periods specified and are derived from the consolidated
financial statements set forth or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement, the General Disclosure Package, and the Final Prospectus and other
financial information. All information contained in the Registration Statement,
the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus regarding "non-GAAP
financial measures" (as defined in Regulation G) complies with Regulation G and
Item 10 of Regulation S-K, to the extent applicable.

    e.           To
the Company’s knowledge, PKF Accountants and Business Advisors, which has
expressed its opinion with respect to the financial statements and schedules
filed as a part of the Registration Statement and included in the Registration
Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus is an
independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and the rules
and regulations of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(the “PCAOB”).

     

    f.   
        The Company had a reasonable
basis for, and made in good faith, each “forward-looking statement” (within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Act or Section 21E of the Exchange Act) contained
or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus.

     

    g.           All
statistical or market-related data included or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus
are based on or derived from sources that the Company reasonably believes to be
reliable and accurate, and the Company has obtained the written consent to the
use of such data from such sources, to the extent required.

     

    h.           The
Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and is
included or approved for inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market. There is no
action pending by the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, the Nasdaq Global
Market to delist the Common Stock from the Nasdaq Global Market, nor has the
Company received any notification that the Nasdaq Global Market is contemplating
terminating such listing.  When issued, the Stock, and the Warrant
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, will be listed on the Nasdaq
Global Market.

     

    i.   
        The Stock, and the Warrant Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, have been or will be qualified for sale
under the securities laws of such jurisdictions (United States and foreign) as
the Placement Agent determines, or are or will be exempt from the qualification
and broker-dealer requirements of such jurisdictions.

     

    j. 
          Neither the Company
nor any of its officers, directors or affiliates has taken, directly or
indirectly, any action that is designed to or that has constituted or that would
reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation
of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of
the Stock or the Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants.

     

    k.           The
Company is not and during the past three years neither the Company nor any
predecessor was: (A) a blank check company as defined in Rule 419(a)(2) of the
Securities Act, (B) a shell company, other than a business combination shell
company, each as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or (C) an issuer for
an offering of penny stock as defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange
Act.

     

    l.           The
Company is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities
Act.  Subject to Section 8.b. below, the Company represents and
warrants that it has not prepared or had prepared on its behalf or used or
referred to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in connection with the
Offering.  Subject to Section 8.b. below, the Company has not
distributed and the Company will not distribute, prior to the completion of the
distribution of the Securities, any offering material in connection with the
Offering other than subscription agreements between the Company and the
Investors and the Base Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, the Registration
Statement, and copies of the documents, if any, incorporated by reference
therein.

     

    m.           The
Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the
Securities, will not be an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

    n.           The
Company was at the time of filing the Registration Statement, and at the date
hereof, remains eligible to use Form S-3 under the Securities Act.  In
addition, at the time of filing of the Registration Statement and at the date
hereof, the Company had or has (A) a non-affiliate public float of (1) $150
million, or (2) $100 million and an annual trading volume of at least 3 million
shares, (B) filed all the material required to be filed by the Company pursuant
to the Exchange Act for a period of at least 36 calendar months, and (C) filed
in a timely manner all reports required to be filed during the past 12 calendar
months, and, in the case of (B) and (C), any portion of a month immediately
preceding such dates.  For purposes of this subsection (xi),
“non-affiliate public float” shall mean the number of shares held by
non-affiliates of the Company multiplied by the price at which the Common
Stock was last sold before the filing of the Registration Statement or the
applicable Closing Date, as applicable, and “annual trading volume” shall mean
the volume of Company stock traded in any continuous 12 month period ended
within 60 days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or each Closing
Date, as applicable.

     

    Any
certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to the Placement
Agent or to the Placement Agent’s counsel shall be deemed a representation and
warranty by the Company to the Placement Agent as to the matters covered
thereby.

     

    5.           Representations
and Warranties Regarding the Company.  The Company represents
and warrants to the Placement Agent and the Purchasers, as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date, and agrees with the Placement Agent and the
Purchasers, that:

     

    a.           The
Company and each of its subsidiaries has been duly organized and is validly
existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has the corporate power
and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as currently being
carried on and as described in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, and is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
it owns or leases real property or in which the conduct of its business makes
such qualification necessary and in which the failure to so qualify would have
or is reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect upon the
business, prospects, properties, operations, condition (financial or otherwise)
or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
or in its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the General
Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus (“Material Adverse
Effect”).

     

    b.           The
Company has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and each of the
Subscription Agreements and to authorize, issue and sell the Securities as
contemplated by this Agreement.  This Agreement and each of the
Subscription Agreements has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company, and constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnity
hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws and except as such
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to general
principles of equity.

     

    c.           The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the
Subscription Agreements and the consummation of the transactions herein and
therein contemplated will not (A) result in a breach or violation of any of the
terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any law, rule or
regulation to which the Company or any subsidiary is subject, or by which any
property or asset of the Company or any subsidiary is bound or affected, (B)
conflict with, result in any violation or breach of, or constitute a default (or
an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement,
lease, credit facility, debt, note, bond, mortgage, indenture or other
instrument (the “Contracts”) or obligation or other understanding to which the
Company or any subsidiary is a party of by which any property or asset of the
Company or any subsidiary is bound or affected, except to the extent that such
conflict, default, termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation right is
not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (C) result in a
breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a
default under, the Company’s charter or by-laws.

     

    d.           Neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation, breach or default under
its certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other equivalent organizational or
governing documents, except where the violation, breach or default in the case
of a subsidiary of the Company would not result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, have been
issued in compliance with all applicable securities laws, and conform to the

Agreement and for the issuances of options or restricted stock in the ordinary
course of business, since the respective dates as of which information is
provided in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the
Final Prospectus, the Company has not entered into or granted any convertible or
exchangeable securities, options, warrants, agreements, contracts or other
rights in existence to purchase or acquire from the Company any shares of the
capital stock of the Company.  The Stock, when issued, will be duly
authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will be issued in
compliance with all applicable securities laws, and will be free of preemptive,
registration or similar rights.  The Warrant Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants are duly authorized and, when issued by the Company
upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will have
been issued in compliance with all applicable securities laws, and will conform
to the description thereof in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure
Package and the Final Prospectus.  None of the outstanding shares of
Common stock was issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first
refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the
Company.  There are no authorized or outstanding shares of capital
stock, options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other
rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries other than those described above or accurately described in the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final
Prospectus.  The description of the Company’s stock option, stock
bonus and other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or other rights, as
described in the Registration Statement, General Disclosure Package and the
Final Prospectus, accurately and fairly present the information required to be
shown with respect to such plans, arrangements, options and rights.

     

    f.

outstanding shares of capital stock (if any) of each subsidiary of the Company
have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable
and, except to the extent set forth in the General Disclosure Package and the
Final Prospectus, are owned by the Company directly or indirectly through one or
more wholly-owned subsidiaries, free and clear of any claim, lien, encumbrance,
security interest, restriction upon voting or transfer or any other claim of any
third party.

     

    g.           Except
for the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act, Exchange Act
and applicable state securities laws, the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. and the Nasdaq Global Market in connection with the purchase of
the Units by the Purchasers and the listing of the Stock and Warrant Stock on
the Nasdaq Global Market, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or
filing, qualification or registration (each an “Authorization") with, any court,
governmental or non-governmental agency or body, foreign or domestic, which has
not been made, obtained or taken and is not in full force and effect, is
required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the
Subscription Agreements by the Company, the offer or sale of the Units or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; and no event
has occurred that allows or results in, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would allow or result in, revocation, suspension, termination or invalidation of
any such authorization or any other impairment of the rights of the holder or
maker of any such authorization. All corporate approvals (including those of
stockholders) necessary for the Company to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Subscription Agreements have been
obtained and are in effect.

     

    h.           Each

defined) required to be filed with taxing authorities prior to the date hereof
or has duly obtained extensions of time for the filing thereof.  Each
of the Company and its subsidiaries has paid all taxes (as hereinafter defined)
shown as due on such returns that were filed and has paid all taxes imposed on
or assessed against the Company or such respective subsidiary.  The
provisions for taxes payable, if any, shown on the financial statements filed
with or as part of the Registration Statement are sufficient for all accrued and
unpaid taxes, whether or not disputed, and for all periods to and including the
dates of such consolidated financial statements.  No issues have been
raised (and are currently pending) by any taxing authority in connection with
any of the returns or taxes asserted as due from the Company or its
subsidiaries, and no waivers of statutes of limitation with respect to the
returns or collection of taxes have been given by or requested from the Company
or its subsidiaries.  The term “taxes” mean all federal, state, local,

    i.           Since
the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration

awards or restricted stock units under the Company’s existing stock awards plan,
or any new grants thereof in the ordinary course of business), (d) there has not
been any material change in the Company’s long-term or short-term debt, and (e)
there has not been the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect.

is not pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, any action, suit
or proceeding to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of
which any property or assets of the Company is the subject before or by any
court or governmental agency, authority or body, or any arbitrator or mediator,
which is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Company and each of its subsidiaries holds, and is in compliance with, all
franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, consents,
certificates and orders (“Permits”) of any governmental or self-regulatory
agency, authority or body required for the conduct of its business, and all such
Permits are in full force and effect, in each case except where the failure to
hold, or comply with, any of them is not reasonably likely to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

     

    l.           The
Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all property
(whether real or personal) described in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus as being owned by them that are
material to the business of the Company, in each case free and clear of all
liens, claims, security interests, other encumbrances or defects, except those
that are not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.  The property held under lease by the Company and its
subsidiaries is held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with
only such exceptions with respect to any particular lease as do not interfere in
any material respect with the conduct of the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries.

     

    m.           The
Company and each of its subsidiaries owns or possesses or has valid right to use

for the conduct of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as currently
carried on and as described in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.  To the knowledge of the
Company, no action or use by the Company or any of its subsidiaries will involve
or give rise to any infringement of, or license or similar fees for, any
Intellectual Property of others, except where such action, use, license or fee
is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.  Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received
any notice alleging any such infringement or fee.

     

    n.           The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries has complied with, is not in violation of,

any director, officer, employee, representative, agent or affiliate of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions
administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury
Department (“OFAC”); and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the
proceeds of the offering of the Units contemplated hereby, or lend, contribute
or otherwise make available such proceeds to any person or entity, for the
purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S.
sanctions administered by OFAC.

Company and each of its subsidiaries carries, or is covered by, insurance in
such amounts and covering such risks as is adequate for the conduct of its
business and the value of its properties and as is customary for companies
engaged in similar businesses in similar industries.

     

    q.           No
labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent that is reasonably
likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    r.           Neither
the Company, its subsidiaries nor, to its knowledge, any other party is in
violation, breach or default of any Contract that is reasonably likely to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    s.           No
supplier, customer, distributor or sales agent of the Company
has notified the Company that it intends to discontinue
or decrease the rate of business done with the Company, except
where such decrease is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

     

    t.           Other
than as contemplated by this Agreement, the Company has not incurred any
liability for any finder’s or broker’s fee or agent’s commission in connection
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the

that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus, comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the

the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue
statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made when the Prospectus is delivered (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred
to in Rule 173(a) of the Rules and Regulations), not misleading, or if it is
necessary at any time to amend or supplement any Registration Statement or the
Final Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by
reference in the Final Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, that the Company will promptly notify the Placement Agent thereof
and upon their request will prepare an appropriate amendment or supplement or

use its best efforts to have any amendment to any Registration Statement
declared effective as soon as possible.  The Company will furnish
without charge to the Placement Agent and to any dealer in securities as many
copies as the Placement Agent may from time to time reasonably request of such
amendment or supplement.  In case the Placement Agent is required to
deliver a prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a)
of the Rules and Regulations) relating to the Units nine (9) months or more
after the date of the Final Prospectus, the Company upon the request of the

of the Securities Act and deliver to the Placement Agent as many copies as the
Placement Agent may request of such amended or supplemented prospectus complying
with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

purchasers and any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of
the Company or in the reasonable opinion of the Placement Agent, it becomes
necessary to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not

Statement then on file, or so that the General Disclosure Package will comply
with law.

Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any
prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof and not superseded or modified

certificate, dated the Closing Date, of its Chairman of the Board or President

statement of a material fact and did not omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and the General Disclosure Package, as of the Closing Date, any Permitted Free
Writing Prospectus as of its date and as of the Closing Date, the Final
Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, as of the respective date
thereof and as of the Closing Date, did not include any untrue statement of a

the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth in the General
Disclosure Package, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause
(i) or (ii) of this paragraph k, is, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, so
material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with
the sale or delivery of the Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated in
the General Disclosure Package.

     

    l.           No

    m.           Subsequent
to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (i) no downgrading shall have
occurred in the Company’s corporate credit rating or the rating accorded the
Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating
organization,” as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule

proceed with the sale or delivery of the Units on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

     

    o.           The
Nasdaq Global Market shall have approved the Stock and Warrant Stock for listing

request, in each case in writing or any standard form of telecommunication from
the appropriate governmental authorities of such jurisdictions.

     

    q.           The

form of Exhibit B

the Placement Agent.

     

    11.           Indemnification and
Contribution.

     

    a.           The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its directors,
officers, managers, members, employees, representatives and agents and each
person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the
“Placement Agent Indemnified Parties,” and each a “Placement Agent Indemnified
Party”) against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability whatsoever (or any
action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), joint or several, to
which such Placement Agent Indemnified Party may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, expense,
liability, action, investigation or proceeding arises out of or is based upon
(A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus,
or in any amendment or supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference
therein, or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary
Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the
General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference therein, a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, or (C) any breach of the representations and warranties of the
Company contained herein or the failure of the Company to perform its
obligations hereunder or pursuant to any law or any act or failure to act, or
any alleged act or failure to act, by the Placement Agent in connection with, or
relating in any manner to, the Units or the Offering contemplated hereby, and
which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage expense,
liability, action, investigation or proceeding arising out of or based upon
matters covered by subclause (A), (B) or (C) above of this Section 11.a
(provided that the Company shall not be liable in the case of any matter covered
by this subclause (C) to the extent that it is determined in a final judgment by
a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, expense or
liability resulted primarily from any such act or failure to act undertaken or
omitted to be taken by the Placement Agent through its gross negligence or
willful misconduct) and shall reimburse each Placement Agent Indemnified Party
promptly upon demand for any legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by
that Placement Agent Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, or
preparing to defend, or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness
in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim,
damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees
and expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, expense or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement in, or omission or alleged omission from any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure
Package or the Final Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or
any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent specifically
for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the
Placement Agent’s Information (as defined in Section 17).  The
indemnity agreement in this Section 11.a. is not exclusive and is in addition to
each other liability which the Company might have under this Agreement or
otherwise, and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be
available under this Agreement, at law or in equity to any Placement Agent
Indemnified Party.

    b.           The
Placement Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors,
its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the “Company Indemnified Parties”
and each a “Company Indemnified Party”) against any loss, claim, damage, expense
or liability whatsoever (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect
thereof), joint or several, to which such Company Indemnified Party may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim,
damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding arises out of or
is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the
Final Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the
omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure
Package or the Final Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by the Placement Agent specifically for use therein, which information
the parties hereto agree is limited to the Placement Agent’s Information (as
defined in Section 17), and shall reimburse the Company Indemnified Parties for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
investigating or preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as third
party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are
incurred.  This indemnity agreement is not exclusive and will be in
addition to any liability which the Placement Agent might otherwise have and
shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available under
this Agreement, at law or in equity to the Company Indemnified
Parties.

    c.           Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 11 of notice of the
commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 11,
notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of that action;
provided, however, that
the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section 11 except to the extent it has
been materially prejudiced by such failure; and, provided, further, that the
failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section
11.  If any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party,
and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall
be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly
with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense of
such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which
counsel shall not, except with the written consent of the indemnified party, be
counsel to the indemnifying party).  After notice from the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such action, except as provided herein, the indemnifying party shall
not be liable to the indemnified party under Section 11 for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the
defense of such action other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that any
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and to participate in the defense of such action but the fees and
expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be
at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) such indemnified party shall
have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party or (ii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the
defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the
commencement of the action or the indemnifying party does not diligently defend
the action after assumption of the defense, in which case, if such indemnified
party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying
party shall not have the right to assume the defense of (or, in the case of a
failure to diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, to
continue to defend) such action on behalf of such indemnified party and the
indemnifying party shall be responsible for legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of such
action; provided, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate
but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any
time for all such indemnified parties (in addition to any local counsel), which
firm shall be designated in writing by Cowen if the indemnified parties under
this Section 11 consist of any Placement Agent Indemnified Party or by the
Company if the indemnified parties under this Section 11 consist of any Company
Indemnified Parties.  Subject to this Section 11, the amount payable
by an indemnifying party under Section 11 shall include, but not be limited to,
(x) reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party and
any other expenses in investigating, or preparing to defend or defending
against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise
incurred in connection with, any action, investigation, proceeding or claim, and
(y) all amounts paid in settlement of any of the foregoing.  No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect
to any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever, in respect of which
indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 11 (whether
or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless
such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of
each indemnified party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and
(ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or
a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.  Subject to
the provisions of the following sentence, no indemnifying party shall be liable
for settlement of any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever that
is effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), but if settled with its written consent, if its consent
has been unreasonably withheld or delayed or if there be a judgment for the
plaintiff in any such matter, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by
reason of such settlement or judgment.  In addition, if at any time an
indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party
agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by
Sections 11.a or b. effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement
is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by such
indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) such indemnifying
party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least thirty
(30) days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such
indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in
accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

     

    d.           If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 11.a or b, then
each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
contribute to the amount paid, payable or otherwise incurred by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any
action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), as incurred, (i) in
such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other
from the offering of the Units, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
of this Section 11.d is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(i) of this Section 11.d, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one
hand and the Placement Agent on the other with respect to the statements,
omissions, acts or failures to act which resulted in such loss, claim, damage,
expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect
thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement
Agent on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the
same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Units
purchased pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company bear to the total fees received by the Placement Agent
with respect to the Units purchased pursuant to this Agreement and the
Subscription Agreements, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover
page of the Final Prospectus.  The relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Placement
Agent on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
statement, omission, act or failure to act; provided that the parties
hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company by the
Placement Agent for use in the Preliminary Prospectus, if any, the Registration
Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, or in any
amendment or supplement thereto, consists solely of the Placement Agent’s
Information (as defined in Section 17).

    e.           The
Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contributions pursuant to Section 11.d above were to be determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to Section 11.d above.  The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim,
damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to in
Section 11.d above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against
or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in
connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action,
investigation or proceeding.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 11.e, the Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the total compensation received by the Placement Agent in
accordance with Section 2.e less the amount of any damages which the Placement
Agent has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or
alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged act or
failure to act or alleged failure to act.  No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     

    12.           Termination.  The
obligations of the Placement Agent and the Purchasers hereunder and under the
Subscription Agreements may be terminated by the Placement Agent, in its
absolute discretion by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and
payment for the Units if, prior to that time, any of the events described in
Sections 10.k, 10.m, or 10.n have occurred or if the Purchasers shall decline to
purchase the Units for any reason permitted under this Agreement or the
Subscription Agreements.  The Company hereby acknowledges that in the
event that this Agreement is terminated by the Placement Agent pursuant to the
terms hereof, the Subscription Agreements shall automatically terminate without
any further action on the part of the parties thereto.

     

    13.           Reimbursement
of Placement Agent’s Expenses.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, if (a) this Agreement shall have been terminated
pursuant to Section 12, (b) the Company shall fail to tender the Units for
delivery to the Purchasers for any reason not permitted under this Agreement or
the Subscription Agreements, (c) the Purchasers shall decline to purchase the
Units for any reason permitted under this Agreement or the Subscription
Agreements or (d) the sale of the Units is not consummated because any condition
to the obligations of the Placement Agent or the Purchasers set forth herein is
not satisfied or because of the refusal, inability or failure on the part of the
Company to perform any agreement herein or to satisfy any condition or to comply
with the provisions hereof, then in addition to the payment of amounts in
accordance with Section 9, the Company shall reimburse the Placement Agent for
the fees and expenses of Placement Agent’s counsel and for such other
out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been reasonably incurred by it in
connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Units,
including, without limitation, travel and lodging expenses of the Placement
Agent, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to
Cowen.

     

    14.           Absence of
Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that:

     

    a.           the
Placement Agent’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature,
the Placement Agent has been retained solely to act as placement agent in
connection with the sale of the Units and no fiduciary, advisory or agency
relationship between the Company and the Placement Agent has been created in
respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective
of whether the Placement Agent has advised or is advising the Company on other
matters;

     

    b.           the
price of the Units set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company
following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Purchasers, and the
Company is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts,
the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement;

     

    
      
         

      

      
        20

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    c.           it
has been advised that the Placement Agent and its affiliates are engaged in a
broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those
of the Company and that the Placement Agent has no obligation to disclose such
interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory
or agency relationship; and

     

    d.           it
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against
the Placement Agent for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary
duty and agrees that the Placement Agent shall have no liability (whether direct
or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any
person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company,
including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.

     

    15.           Successors;
Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement.  This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Placement Agent, the Company and
their respective successors and assigns.  Nothing expressed or
mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any
person, other than those persons mentioned in the preceding sentence or
otherwise explicitly mentioned in this Agreement, any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein
contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being
intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and

responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature and the Placement
Agent does not owe the Company, or any other party, any fiduciary duty as a
result of this Agreement.  No Purchaser shall be deemed to be a
successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

     

    16.           Survival
of Indemnities, Representations, Warranties, etc.  The respective
indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company and the Placement Agent, as set forth in this

of the Placement Agent, the Company, the Purchasers or any person controlling
any of them and shall survive delivery of and payment for the
Units.  Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, including
without limitation any termination pursuant to Section 12, the indemnities,
contribution, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements forth in Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, and 13 and Sections 14 through

force and effect at all times.

    Re:  China
BAK Battery, Inc. - Registration Statement on Form S-3

     

    Dear
Sirs:

     

     

    This
Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Placement
Agent Agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) between China BAK Battery,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”
or the “Placement Agent”), relating to the proposed public offering of units
(the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock, par value
$0.001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) one warrant to
purchase 0.25 of a share of Common Stock of the Company.

     

    In order
to induce the Placement Agent to enter into the Placement Agent Agreement, and
in light of the benefits that the offering of the Units will confer upon the
undersigned in its capacity as a securityholder and/or an officer, director or
employee of the Company, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with
the Placement Agent that, during the period beginning on and including the date
of the Placement Agent Agreement through and including the date that is the 60th
day after the date of the Placement Agent Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the
undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Cowen, directly or
indirectly, (i) offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or
otherwise dispose of, or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, any
shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, Common Stock which may be
deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules
and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as the same may be
amended or supplemented from time to time (such shares, the “Beneficially Owned
Shares”)) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock, (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or
arrangement that transfers in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership
of the Beneficially Owned Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the
undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires
the power of disposition, or (iii) engage in any short selling of the Common
Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common
Stock.

     

    The
restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply
to:

     

    (1)           if
the undersigned is a natural person, any transfers made by the undersigned
(a) as a bona fide gift to any member of the immediate family (as defined
below) of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are
exclusively the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s immediate family,
(b) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned or
(c) as a bona fide gift to a charity or educational
institution,

     

    
      
         

      

      
        B-1

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (2)           if
the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or
other business entity, any transfers to any shareholder, partner or member of,
or owner of a similar equity interest in, the undersigned, as the case may be,
if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value, and

     

    (3)           if
the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or
other business entity, any transfer made by the undersigned (a) in connection
with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or
substantially all of the undersigned’s capital stock, partnership interests,
membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or
all or substantially all of the undersigned’s assets, in any such case not
undertaken for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions imposed by this
agreement or (b) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company
or other business entity so long as the transferee is an affiliate (as defined
below) of the undersigned and such transfer is not for value;

     

    provided,
however, that in the case of any transfer described in clause (1), (2) or
(3) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that (A) the
transferee executes and delivers to Cowen, not later than one business day prior
to such transfer, a written agreement, in substantially the form of this
agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the
agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the
immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the
transferee) and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to Cowen, and
(B) if the undersigned is required to file a report under
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, reporting
a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or Beneficially
Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares during the Lock-Up Period, the
undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that, in the
case of any transfer pursuant to clause (1) above, such transfer is being
made as a gift or by will or intestate succession or, in the case of any
transfer pursuant to clause (2) above, such transfer is being made to a
shareholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in, the
undersigned and is not a transfer for value or, in the case of any transfer
pursuant to clause (3) above, such transfer is being made either (a) in
connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of
all or substantially all of the undersigned’s capital stock, partnership
interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case
may be, or all or substantially all of the undersigned’s assets or (b) to
another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business
entity that is an affiliate of the undersigned and such transfer is not for
value.  For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean
a spouse, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption),
father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned; and “affiliate” shall have
the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

     

    In order
to enable this covenant to be enforced, the undersigned hereby consents to the
placing of legends or stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer
agent with respect to any Common Stock or securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

     

    The
undersigned further agrees that (i) it will not, during the Lock-Up Period,
make any demand or request for or exercise any right with respect to the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any shares of
Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned
Shares, and (ii) the Company may, with respect to any Common Stock or other
Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares owned or held
(of record or beneficially) by the undersigned, cause the transfer agent or
other registrar to enter stop transfer instructions and implement stop transfer
procedures with respect to such securities during the Lock-Up
Period.

     

    The
undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power
and authority to enter into this agreement and that this agreement has been duly
authorized (if the undersigned is not a natural person), executed and delivered
by the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the
undersigned.  This agreement and all authority herein conferred are
irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if a
natural person) and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives,
successors and assigns of the undersigned.

     

    The
undersigned acknowledges and agrees that whether or not any public offering of
Units actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market
conditions.
