in connection with distribution. The Subscriber does not have a
present intention to sell the Purchased Shares, nor a present arrangement
(whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of the

in the Company. The Subscriber further acknowledges that the
Subscriber understands the risks of investing in companies domiciled and/or
which operate primarily in the People’s Republic of China and that the purchase
of the Purchased Shares involves substantial risks.
(e) Information on
Company. Such
Subscriber has been furnished with or has had access to the EDGAR Website of the
Commission and to the Company’s Form 10-K filed on EDGAR on September 15, 2009
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009, together with all other filings made
with the Commission available at the EDGAR website and all correspondence from

comment letters relating to the Company’s periodic filings with the Commission
whether available at the EDGAR website or not (hereinafter referred to
collectively as the “Reports”). In
addition, such Subscriber has received in writing from the
Company such other information concerning its operations, financial condition
and other matters as such Subscriber has

the financial and other affairs of the Company.

Date, an “accredited
investor”, as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by the

matters, has made investments of a speculative nature and has purchased
securities of United States publicly-owned companies in private placements in
the past and, with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in
financial, tax and other business matters as to enable such Subscriber to utilize the information made
available by the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of and to make an
informed investment decision with respect to the proposed purchase, which
represents a speculative investment. Such Subscriber has the authority and is duly and
legally qualified to purchase and own the Purchased Shares. Such Subscriber is able to bear the risk of such
investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss
thereof. The information set forth on the signature page hereto
regarding such Subscriber is

3
(h) Compliance with 1933
Act. Such Subscriber understands and agrees that the
Purchased Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable
state securities laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does
not require registration under the 1933 Act (based in part on the accuracy of
the representations and warranties of the Subscriber
contained herein), and that such Purchased Shares must be held indefinitely
unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the 1933 Act or any
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such
registration. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber is
familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as
amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that such
person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain
circumstances. The Subscriber understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is
not available, the Subscriber will be unable to sell any Purchased Shares
without either registration under the 1933 Act or the existence of another
exemption from such registration requirement. In any event, and subject to
compliance with applicable securities laws, the Subscriber may enter into lawful
hedging transactions in the course of hedging the position they assume and the
Subscriber may also enter into lawful short positions or other derivative
transactions relating to the Purchased Shares, and deliver the Purchased Shares,
to close out their short or other positions or otherwise settle other
transactions, or loan or pledge the Purchased Shares, to third parties who in
turn may dispose of these Purchased Shares.
(i) Purchased Shares
Legend. The Purchased Shares shall bear the following or
similar legend:
“THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE
PURCHASED
SHARES REPRESENTED BY
THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, NOR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE PURCHASED SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THE PURCHASED SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B)
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A
GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR
(II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID
ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE PURCHASED SHARES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A
BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE
PURCHASED
SHARES.”
4
(j) Communication of
Offer. The offer to sell the Purchased Shares was directly
communicated to such Subscriber by the Company. At no time was such
Subscriber presented with or solicited by any leaflet, newspaper or magazine
article, radio or television advertisement, or any other form of general
advertising or solicited or invited to attend a promotional meeting
otherwise than in connection and concurrently with such communicated
offer.
(k) Restricted
Securities. Such Subscriber understands that the
Purchased Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act and such Subscriber
will not sell, offer to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer
any of the Purchased Shares unless pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the 1933 Act, or unless an exemption from registration is
available. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, such Subscriber may transfer (without restriction and without the
need for an opinion of counsel) the Purchased Shares to its Affiliates (as
defined below) provided that each such Affiliate is an “accredited investor”
under Regulation D and such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliate” of any person or
entity means any other person or entity directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such person or
entity. Affiliate includes each Subsidiary of the Company. For
purposes of this definition, “control” means the power to
direct the management and policies of such person or firm, directly or
indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise.
(l) No Governmental
Review. Such Subscriber understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other governmental or state agency has
passed on or made recommendations or endorsement of the Purchased Shares or the
suitability of the investment in the Purchased Shares nor have such authorities
passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Purchased
Shares.
(m) Correctness of
Representations. Such Subscriber represents that the foregoing
representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof and,
unless such Subscriber otherwise notifies the Company prior to the Closing Date,
shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date. The Subscriber
understands that the Purchased Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on
a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of Federal and state
securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of
the Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such
exemptions and the suitability of the Subscriber to acquire the Purchased
Shares.
(n) Brokers’ Fees. Other than the Placement
Agent and except as set forth on Schedule 4(ii), each Subscriber has no
knowledge of any brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions that are or will be
payable by the Placement Agent, the Company or any Subsidiary to any broker,
financial advisor, Subscriber, consultant, finder, placement agent, investment
banker, bank or other person or entity with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
5
(o) Short Sales and
Confidentiality. Other than the transaction contemplated hereunder, the
Subscriber has not directly or indirectly, nor has any person acting on behalf
of or pursuant to any understanding with the Subscriber, executed any
disposition, including short sales (but not including the location and/or
reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock), in the securities of the
Company during the period commencing from the time that the Subscriber first
received a term sheet from the Company or any other person setting forth the
material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date that
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as
described in Section 8(m). The Subscriber covenants that until such
time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed
by the Company as described in Section 8(m), the Subscriber will maintain the
confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this
transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). The
Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Commission currently takes the
position that coverage of short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the
box” prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement with the
Purchased Shares is a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act, as set forth
in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available
Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief
Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Subscriber does not make any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it
will not engage in short sales in the securities of the Company after the date
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly
announced as described in Section 8(m). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate
portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber's assets and the
portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by
the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber's assets, the
covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets
managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase
the Purchased Shares covered by this Agreement.

Incorporation. The Company is a corporation or other entity

circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere

Escrow Agreement, the Investor Relations Escrow Agreement, the
Lock-Up Agreements and any other agreements delivered together with this
Agreement or in connection herewith (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) have
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and are valid and
binding agreements of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity. The
Company has full corporate power and authority necessary to enter into and
deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations
thereunder.
(d) Capitalization and
Additional
Issuances. The authorized and outstanding capital stock
of the Company and Subsidiaries on a fully diluted basis as of the date of this
Agreement and the Closing Date (not including the Purchased Shares) are set
forth on Schedule 4(d). Except as set
forth on Schedule 4(d), there are no options,
warrants, or rights to subscribe to, securities, rights, understandings or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for or giving any right to
subscribe for any shares of capital stock or other equity interest of the
Company or any of the Subsidiaries. The only officer, director,
employee and consultant stock option or stock incentive plan or similar plan

4(d). There are no outstanding agreements or preemptive or
similar rights affecting the Company’s common stock.

Company’s shareholders is required for the execution by the Company of the
Transaction Documents and compliance and performance by the Company of its
obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the
issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares. The Transaction Documents
and the Company’s performance of its obligations thereunder have been
unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. No consent,
approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification,
designation, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority in the
world, including without limitation, the United States, or elsewhere is required
by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as would
not otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect or the consummation of any of the
other agreements, covenants or commitments of the Company or any Subsidiary
contemplated by the other Transaction Documents. Any such qualifications and
filings will, in the case of qualifications, be effective on the Closing and
will, in the case of filings, be made within the time prescribed by
law.
9

Conflict. Assuming the representations and warranties of the
Subscriber in Section 3 are true and correct, neither the issuance nor sale of
the Purchased Shares nor the performance of the Company’s obligations under this
Agreement and all other Transaction Documents entered into by the Company
relating thereto will:
(i) violate,

likely to constitute a default) under (A) the articles or certificate of
incorporation, charter or bylaws of the Company, (B) to the Company’s knowledge,
any decree, judgment, order, law, treaty, rule, regulation or determination

properties of the Company or any of its Affiliates is subject, or (D) the terms
of any “lock-up” or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement
to which the Company, or any of its Affiliates is a party except the violation,
conflict, breach, or default of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect;
or
(ii) result
in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the
Purchased Shares or any of the assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates
except in favor of Subscriber as described herein; or
(iii) result
in the activation of any anti-dilution rights or a reset or repricing of any
debt, equity or security instrument of any creditor or equity holder of the
Company, or the holder of the right to receive any debt, equity or security
instrument of the Company nor result in the acceleration of the due date of any
obligation of the Company; or
(iv) result
in the triggering of any piggy-back or other registration rights of any person
or entity holding securities of the Company or having the right to receive
securities of the Company.
(g) The Purchased
Shares. The Purchased Shares upon issuance:
(i) are,
or will be, free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims or other
encumbrances, subject only to restrictions upon transfer under the 1933 Act and
any applicable state securities laws;
(ii) have
been, or will be, duly and validly authorized and on the date of issuance of the

holders.
(h) Litigation. There
is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit,
proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or
arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates that
would affect the execution by the Company or the complete and timely performance
by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents. Except as disclosed in the Reports, there is no pending
or, to the best knowledge of the Company, basis for or threatened action, suit,
proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or
arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates which
litigation if adversely determined would have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(i) No Market
Manipulation. The Company and its Affiliates have not taken,
and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might
reasonably be expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of
the price of the common stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the Purchased
Shares or affect the price at which the Purchased Shares may be issued or
resold.

10. Registration
Rights.
(a) Demand
Registration. If at anytime (a) there is no effective
Registration Statement with respect to Registrable Shares and (b) not all of the
outstanding Registrable Shares may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule
144 under the 1933 Act, then Holders that (A) as of the date of this Agreement
(directly or with their affiliates) held Registrable Shares representing more
than 50% of the Registrable Shares then outstanding and (B) at the time of the
written demand hold a number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to at least
the Floor Amount (as such term is hereinafter defined) as of the date of such
written demand (individually, a “Demanding Holder” and
collectively, the “Demanding
Holders”), may make a written demand for registration (a “Demand Registration” and the
registration statement to be filed pursuant to such Demand Registration, the
“Demand Registration
Statement”) under the 1933 Act of the sale of all or part of its
Registrable Shares. Any request for a Demand Registration shall specify the
number of shares (or other amount) of Registrable Shares proposed to be sold and
the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand, the “Demand Notice”). The Company
will notify the Holders other than the Demanding Holder of the Demand
Registration (each such Holder including Shares of its Registrable Shares in
such registration, a “Participating Holder”) as soon
as practicable, and each such other Holder who wishes to include all or a
portion of its Registrable Shares of the type that are the subject of the Demand
Registration Statement proposed to be filed in such Demand Registration
Statement shall so notify the Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of
such notice (the “Demanding
Holders’ Deadline”). The Company shall use its best efforts to
file such Demand Registration Statement within forty five (45) days (the “Required Filing Date”) after
receiving the Demand Notice, and use its best efforts to respond to any comments
to the Demand Registration Statement, received from the Commission, not later
than thirty (30) days after receipt of such comments (the “Required Response Date”). The
Company shall not be obligated (x) to effect more than two (2) Demand
Registrations under this Section 10(a) in respect of Registrable Shares or (y)
to file any Demand Registration Statement before January 31,
2010. “Floor
Amount” means 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that
the Floor Amount shall be calculated by dividing (x) the sum of the number of
outstanding shares held by the Demanding Holders and all shares
issuable to such Demanding Holders upon exercise or conversion of other
securities of the Company held by the Demanding Holders by (y) the number of
shares outstanding; provided, that, the
number of shares outstanding referenced in the foregoing clause (y) shall not
include any shares (A) issued under employee benefit or compensation
arrangements approved by the Board of Directors, (B) issued to all shareholders
of the Company as dividends or in connection with stock splits or similar
transactions, (C) issued to persons unaffiliated with the Company as
consideration for the Company’s acquisition of assets or securities of such
persons or (D) issuable upon conversion or exercise of any options, warrants, or
other exchangeable securities.
23
(b) Piggy-Back
Registration. If at any time when there is not an effective Registration
Statement providing for the resale of all of the Registrable Shares, the Company
shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement
relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the
Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than for an underwritten
offering or on Form S-4 or Form S-8, each as promulgated under the 1933 Act, or
their then equivalents), the Company shall send to each Holder of Registrable
Shares written notice of such determination. If within thirty (30)
days after receipt of such notice, or within such shorter period of time as may
be specified by the Company in such written notice as may be necessary for the
Company to comply with its obligations with respect to the timing of the filing
of such Registration Statement, any such Holder shall so request in writing,
(which request shall specify the Registrable Shares intended to be registered),
the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration
under the 1933 Act of all Registrable Shares which the Company has been so
requested to register by the Holder.
(c) Mandated Reduction of
Registrable Shares. If, for any reason, the Commission
requires that the number of Registrable Shares to be registered for resale
pursuant to the Registration Statement in connection with any Registration
Statement, be reduced, such reduction (the “Cut Back Shares”) shall be
allocated pro rata among the Holders whose shares have been included in such
Registration Statement until the reduction required by the Commission is
effected. No liquidated damages under Section 10(d) shall accrue on or as to any
Cut Back Shares.
(d) Registration
Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of
Section 10(a) to effect the registration of any Registrable Shares under the
1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(i) subject
to the timelines provided in this Agreement, prepare and file with the
Commission a registration statement required by Section 10, with respect to such
securities and use its best commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the
distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), and promptly
provide to Subscriber’s Counsel copies of all filings and Commission letters of
comment and notify the Subscribers (by telecopier and by e-mail addresses
provided by the Subscribers) on or before the second business day
thereafter that the Company receives notice that (i) the Commission has no
comments or no further comments on the registration statement, and (ii) the
registration statement has been declared effective;
(ii) prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to keep such registration statement effective until such registration
statement has been effective for the earlier of (a) a period of two (2) years,
or (b) until the Purchased Shares can been sold by the Subscribers pursuant to
Rule 144 without volume restrictions;
24
(iii) furnish
to the Subscribers, at the Company’s expense, such number of copies of the
registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each
preliminary prospectus) as such Subscribers reasonably may request in order to
facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities covered by
such registration statement or make them electronically available;
(iv) use
its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares
covered by such registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws
of such jurisdictions as the Subscribers shall request in writing, provided,
however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify
to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is
not so qualified or to consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction;
(v) Reserved;
(vi) notify
the Subscribers within twenty-four hours of the Company’s becoming aware that a
prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, of
the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of
which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing or which
becomes subject to a Commission, state or other governmental order suspending
the effectiveness of the registration statement covering any of the Registrable
Shares. Each Subscriber hereby covenants that it will not sell any Registrable
Shares pursuant to such prospectus during the period commencing at the time at
which the Company gives such Subscriber notice of the suspension of the use of
such prospectus in accordance with this Section 10(d)(vi) and ending at the time
the Company gives such Subscriber notice that such Subscriber may thereafter
effect sales pursuant to the prospectus, or until the Company delivers to such
Subscriber or files with the Commission an amended or supplemented
prospectus.
(e) Provision of
Documents. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this
Agreement with respect to the Registrable Shares of a
particular Subscriber that such Subscriber shall furnish to the
Company in writing such information and representation letters, including a
completed form of the Selling Securityholder Questionnaire attached as Exhibit E hereto, with respect to
itself and the proposed distribution by it as the Company may reasonably request
to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws. This
Section 10(e) shall only be applicable to the Subscribers listed on Schedule
10(e).
25
(d) Non-Registration
Events. The Company and the Subscribers agree that the
Subscribers will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not filed by
the Required Filing Date and if the Company does not respond to comments
the Registration Statement received from the Commission by the Required Response
Date, and it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with
precision. Accordingly, (A) the Registration Statement is not filed
on or before the Required Filing Date, or (B) the Company fails to respond to
the comments to the Registration Statement, received from the Commission,
by the Required Response Date (each such event referred to in clauses A and B of
this Section 10(d), a “Non-Registration Event”), then
the Company shall deliver to the Subscribers, as liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”), an
amount equal to one-half percent (0.5%) of the Purchase Price of the Purchased
Shares owned of record by such holder for each subsequent thirty (30) day period
(pro rata for any period less than thirty days) which are subject to such
Non-Registration Event, provided, however
that in no event shall the total liquidated damages payable under this Section
10(d) exceed in aggregate 5% of the Purchase Price. In no event shall the
total amount of the liquidated damages payable under this Section 10(d) and the
liquidated damages payable under any other section of this Agreement exceed in
aggregate 15% of the Purchase Price. The Company must pay the Liquidated Damages
in cash. The Liquidated Damages must be paid within one (1) day after the end of
each thirty (30) day period or shorter part thereof for which Liquidated
Damages are payable. In the event a Registration Statement is filed by the
Required Filing Date but is withdrawn prior to being declared effective by the
Commission, then such Registration Statement will be deemed to have not been
filed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable to any
Subscriber under this Section 10(d) for any events or delays occurring as a
consequence of the acts or omissions of such Subscriber contrary to the
obligations undertaken by Subscribers in this Agreement.
(f) Reserved.
(g) Expenses. All
expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 10, including,
without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if
required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants
for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred
in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of
the FINRA, transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars, are
called “Registration Expenses.” The Company
will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration statement
described in Section 10.
(h) Indemnification and
Contribution.
(i) In
the event of a registration of any Registrable Shares under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 10, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law,
indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber, each of the officers, directors,
agents, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal
shareholders of the Subscriber, each underwriter of such Registrable Shares
thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such Subscriber or
underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Subscriber, or such
underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
under which such Registrable Shares was registered under the 1933 Act pursuant
to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein,
or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the provisions of
Section 10(h)(iii) reimburse the Subscriber, each such underwriter and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to
the Subscriber to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are based
upon an untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i)
the Subscriber failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus
delivered by the Company to the Subscriber with or prior to the delivery of
written confirmation of the sale by the Subscriber to the person asserting the
claim from which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have
corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or
alleged omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information
furnished by any such Subscriber in writing specifically for use in such
registration statement or prospectus.
26
(ii) In
the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 10, each Subscriber severally but not jointly will, to the
extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act,
each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director
of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter
within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against all losses, claims, damages or

otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration
statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, provided, however, that the Subscriber will be liable
hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon
and in conformity with information pertaining to such Subscriber, as such,
furnished in writing to the Company by such Subscriber specifically for use in
such registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that
the liability of the Subscriber hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds
actually received by the Subscriber from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant
to such registration statement.
27
(iii) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of
any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in
writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other
than under this Section 10(h)(iii) and shall only relieve it from any liability
which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 10(f)(iii),
except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by
such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified
party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof,
the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it
shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 10(f)(iii) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected,
provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to
indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to
the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably
may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the
indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying party, and
to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of
such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and
other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the
indemnifying party as incurred.
(iv) In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint
liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) a Subscriber, or
any controlling person of a Subscriber, makes a claim for indemnification
pursuant to this Section 10(h) but it is judicially determined (by the entry of
a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the
expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that
such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact
that this Section 10(h) provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii)
contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on the part of the Subscriber or
controlling person of the Subscriber in circumstances for which indemnification
is not provided under this Section 10(h); then, and in each such case, the
Company and the Subscriber will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from
others) in such proportion so that the Subscriber is responsible only for the
portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its
securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering
price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided,
however, that, in any such case, (y) the Subscriber will not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such
securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no person
or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
10(h) of the 1933 Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or
entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and provided,
further, however, that the liability of the Subscriber hereunder shall be
limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Subscriber from the sale of
Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration statement.

(g) Reserved.
11.
Anti-dilution and
Purchase Rights.
(a) Right of First
Refusal. Except for sales made to CDIB Capital (Korea)
Ltd. or its affiliates, during the period from the Closing Date through and
including the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Subscribers shall be
given not less than ten business days prior written notice (the “Notice of Sale”) of any proposed
sale by the Company of its common stock or other securities or equity linked
debt obligations, except in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in
connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of
substantially all of the securities or assets of corporation or other entity
which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted
registration rights, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection
with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as
such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of
such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (iii)
the Company’s issuance of common stock or the issuances or grants of options to
purchase common stock to employees, directors, and consultants, including the
issuance of an undetermined amount of shares of common stock to certain
shareholders of the Company pursuant to that certain recapitalization of the
Company, and (iv) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of
any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of
common stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement and described
on Schedule 4(d)
(collectively the foregoing are “Excepted
Issuances”). The Subscribers shall have the right during the
ten business days following receipt of the Notice of Sale (the “Notice Period”) to purchase in
the aggregate such offered common stock, debt or other securities in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Sale in the same
proportion as that of the Subscriber’s Purchase Shares in the
Offering. In the event such terms and conditions are modified during
the Notice Period, the Subscribers shall be given prompt notice (the “Notice of Modification”) of
such modification and shall have the right during the ten business days
following the Notice of Modification to exercise such purchase
right.
(b) Most Favored Nations
Provision. Other than in connection with Excepted
Issuances, (i) if at any time within 60 days following the Closing, the Company
shall issue any common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for
shares of common stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding)
to any person or entity at a price per share which shall be less than 115% of
the Purchase Price in effect at such time, or (ii) if at any time commencing 61
days following the Closing and ending 24 months following the Closing, the
Company shall issue any common stock or securities convertible into or
exercisable for shares of common stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may
be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share which shall be less
than 120% of the Purchase Price in effect at such time (collectively, the “Lower Price Issuance”),
without the consent of the Subscribers representing a majority of the Purchased
Shares, then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion, additional shares
of common stock to the Subscriber respecting those Purchased Shares that are
then still owned by the Subscriber at the time of the Lower Price Issuance so
that the average per share purchase price of the Purchased Shares owned by the
Subscriber on the date of the Lower Price Issuance is equal to such other lower
price per share. The delivery to Subscriber of the additional shares
of common stock shall be not later than the closing date of the transaction
giving rise to the requirement to issue additional shares of common
stock. Subscriber is granted the registration rights described in
Section 10 hereof in connection with such additional shares of common stock. For
purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this paragraph, the
issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to convert such
security into shares of common stock or of any warrant, right or option to
purchase common stock shall result in the issuance of the additional shares of
common stock upon the sooner of the agreement to or actual issuance of such
convertible security, warrant, right or option and again at any time upon any
subsequent issuances of shares of common stock upon exercise of such conversion
or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the Purchase Price
in effect upon such issuance. Common stock issued or issuable by the
Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at
the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per
share of common stock. The rights of Subscriber set forth in this Section 11 are
in addition to any other rights the Subscriber has pursuant to this Agreement,
any Transaction Documents, and any other agreement referred to or entered into
in connection herewith or to which Subscriber and Company are parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 11(b) can be waved
by sole consent of Trillion Growth China General Partner.
29
(c) Roll-In Provision.
Other than in connection with Excepted Issuances, for a period of twelve (12)
months following the Closing or until the Company files a Registration Statement
pursuant to this Agreement, whichever is shorter, if the Company completes a
subsequent capital-raising transaction (a “Subsequent Financing”), then
each Subscriber shall have the right to exchange the then outstanding Purchased
Shares fully or partially for the securities issued in the Subsequent Financing
(“New Securities”) on a
pro-rata basis determined by dividing the Purchase Price by the purchase price
of such securities (the “Roll-In
Right”). For example, if a Subscriber wishes to exchange 100
Purchased shares, such Subscriber would receive $390.00 of New Securities in
exchange for such Purchased Shares. The Roll-In Right may be
exercised only once by each Subscriber.
If the
Company has filed a Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement and the
Company undertakes a Subsequent Financing within twelve (12) months following
the Closing in which the Company (i) issues any warrants to purchase shares of
the Company’s capital stock (the “Subsequent Financing
Warrants”), then each Subscriber shall receive its Warrant Pro Rata
Portion of any such Subsequent Financing Warrants on the closing of any such
Subsequent Financing, on the same terms, rights, privileges and conditions as
contemplated by such Subsequent Financing or (ii) issues any security that pays
interest, dividends (other than dividends on common stock available to all
holders thereof) or similar consideration (collectively, the “Cash Payment”), then each
Subscriber shall receive its Pro Rata Payment, consisting of either (x) cash, or
(y) restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, in each case at the
Company’s option at the time of such Cash Payment (a “Payment Date”).
The
Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later than five (5)
days after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a “Subsequent Offering Notice”)
the Subscribers of the terms and conditions of any Subsequent Financing.
The Subsequent Offering Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the
proposed Subsequent Financing, the proposed closing date of the Subsequent
Financing, which shall be within twenty (20) calendar days from the date of the
Subsequent Financing Notice, and all of the terms and conditions
thereof.
30
For
purposes of this Section 11(c):
(i)
“Warrant Pro Rata
Portion” means the percentage of Subsequent Financing Warrants that such
Subscriber would have received had such Subscriber invested an amount equal to
its Purchase Price in such Subsequent Financing;
(ii)
“Pro Rata Payment” means
(a) if the payment to such Subscriber is made in cash, the amount of cash that
such Subscriber would have received had such Subscriber invested an amount equal
to its Purchase Price in such Subsequent Financing (the “Payment Amount”) or (b) if the
payment to such Subscriber is made in restricted shares of the Company’s common
stock, then an amount determined by dividing the Payment Amount by the Fair
Market Value, provided that if there is any decrease in the Cash Payment to the
Subsequent Financing investors then the Pro Rata Payment shall be decreased in
the same proportion; and
(iii)
“Fair Market Value”
shall mean (a) If the Company’s common stock is traded on an exchange or is
quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ
Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE Alternext, then the
weighted average of the closing sale prices of the Company’s Common Stock for
the five (5) trading days immediately prior to (but not including) the Payment
Date, discounted by fifteen percent (15%) or (b) If the Company’s Common Stock
is quoted on the Bulletin Board or in the over-the-counter market or Pink
Sheets, then the average of the closing bid and ask prices reported for the five
(5) trading days immediately prior to (but not including) the Payment Date
discounted by fifteen percent (15%).
(d) Other
Adjustments.
(i) Other
than in connection with Excepted Issuances, (x) if the Company’s actual after
tax net income under U.S. GAAP for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2010 (“Actual 2010 Net Income”) is
less than $14,000,000 (“2010
Targeted Net Income”), or (y) if the Company’s actual after tax net
income under U.S. GAAP for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2011 (“Actual 2011 Net Income”) is
less than $18,000,000 (“2011
Targeted Net Income”, together with the 2010 Targeted Net Income, the
“Targeted Net Income”),
then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion, to each Subscriber on a
pro-rata basis (determined by dividing each Subscriber’s Purchase Price by the
aggregate Purchase Price delivered to the Company by the Subscribers hereunder),
additional amount of shares of Common Stock (the “Adjustment Shares”) equal to
the percentage of variation of the Actual 2010 Net Income and Actual 2010 Net
Income from the 2010 Targeted Net Income and 2011 Targeted Net Income
respectively times the number of Purchased Shares acquired by such Subscriber
pursuant to this Agreement. For example, if the Actual 2010 Net Income is
$12,600,000, which is a variation of 10% of the 2010 Targeted Net Income, then
the Company shall issue to each Subscriber, shares of the Company’s Common
Stock, equal to a total of 10% of the Purchased Shares acquired by such
Subscriber hereunder.
(ii) The
delivery to Subscriber of the Adjustment Shares shall be not later than the
third business day after the filing of a Form 10-K with the Commission declaring
the annual audited results.
31
(iii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in determining whether the Company
has achieved either the 2010 Targeted Net Income or 2011 Targeted Net Income,
the Company may disregard any non-cash charge or expense required to be
recognized by the Company under the United States generally accepted accounting
principles (the “GAAP”),
including but not limited to the non-cash charges listed below. In determining
whether the Company has achieved either the 2010 Targeted Net Income or the 2011
Targeted Net Income (as the case may be), (1) any liquidated damages payable
pursuant to the Transaction Documents and (2) any non-cash charges expensed by
the Company related to any Subsequent Financing Warrants issued pursuant to
Section 11(c) herein, in each case, shall not be included as expenses of the
Company. “Net Income”
shall mean the Company’s income after taxes for the fiscal year ending May 31,
2010 or May 31, 2011 (as the case may be) in each case determined in accordance
with GAAP as reported in the 2010 Annual Report or 2011 Annual Report (as the
case may be).

(b) Entire Agreement;
Amendment. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the
entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the matters
covered hereby and, except as specifically set forth herein or in the
Transaction Documents, neither the Company nor any of the Subscribers makes any
representations, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters
and they supersede all prior understandings and agreements with respect to said
subject matter, all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement
nor any of the Transaction Documents may be waived or amended other than by a
written instrument signed by the Company and the holders of at least fifty
percent (50%) of the total Purchased Shares then outstanding (the “Majority Holders”), and no
provision hereof may be waived other than by a written instrument signed by the
party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No such amendment
shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders
of the Purchased Shares then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or
paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any
provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is
also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents or holders of
Purchased Shares, as the case may be.
34
(c) Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by a party hereto
without the prior written consent of the Company or the Subscribers, as
applicable, provided, however, that,
subject to federal and state securities laws and as otherwise provided in the
Transaction Documents, a Subscriber may assign its rights and delegate its
duties hereunder in whole or in part (i) to an affiliate without the prior
written consent of the Company or the other Subscribers, after notice duly given
by such Subscriber to the Company or (ii) in one transaction to a third party
acquiring greater than seventy five percent (75%) of the Subscriber’s Purchased
Shares in a private transaction with the Company’s prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, that no
such assignment or obligation shall affect the obligations of such Subscriber
hereunder and that such assignee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to
the transferred securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the
Subscribers, and further provided that
none of such assignees may further assign its rights and delegate its duties
under this Agreement to any third party. The provisions of this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted
successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express
or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto
or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided
in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, only those Subscribers who own the Purchased Shares shall be entitled to
receive any rights and benefits of this Agreement based on their ownership
interests at the time when such rights or benefits accrue. If any
Subscriber transfers Purchased Shares hereunder, any and all rights and benefits
pursuant to this Agreement shall not be transferred to such transferee. In the
event that any Subscriber (or permitted assign) no longer holds Purchased Shares
such Subscriber will not be entitled to any of the rights or benefits conferred
upon such Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) Counterparts/Execution. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different
signatories hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed,
shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one
and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile
transmission, PDF, electronic signature or other similar electronic means with
the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original
thereof.
(e) Law Governing this
Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the
other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be
brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in
the state and county of New York. The parties to this Agreement
hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action
instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of
jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non
conveniens. The parties executing this Agreement
and other agreements referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith on
behalf of the Company agree to submit to the in personam jurisdiction of such
courts and hereby irrevocably waive trial by jury. The
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its
reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision
of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is
invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such
provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict
therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of
law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable
under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit,
action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction
Documents 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 other manner permitted by
law.
35
(f) Specific Enforcement,
Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Subscribers
acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any
of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed
that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to
prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any
other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or
equity. Subject to Section 14(f) hereof, the Company and the
Subscribers hereby irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert in any such suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction in New York of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or
proceeding is improper. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit
any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(g) Damages. In
the event the Subscriber is entitled to receive any liquidated damages pursuant
to the Transactions Documents, the Subscriber may elect to receive the greater
of actual damages or such liquidated damages.
(h) Maximum
Payments. Nothing contained herein or in any document
referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to
establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that
the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder
exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum
shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus
refunded to the Company.
(i) Calendar
Days. All references to “days” in the Transaction
Documents shall mean calendar days unless otherwise stated. The terms
“business days” and “trading days” shall mean days that the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours. Time periods
shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation or time period were
occurring in New York City. Any deadline that falls on a non-business
day in any of the Transaction Documents shall be automatically extended to the
next business day and interest, if any, shall be calculated and payable through
such extended period.
(j) Captions: Certain
Definitions. The captions of the various sections and
paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of
convenience; such captions are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be
deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the
provisions of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement the term
“person” shall mean and
include an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a limited
liability company, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or
any department or agency thereof.
36
(k) Severability. In
the event that any term or provision of this Agreement shall be finally
determined to be superseded, invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable
pursuant to applicable law by an authority having jurisdiction and venue, that
determination shall not impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or
enforceability: (i) by or before that authority of the remaining terms and
provisions of this Agreement, which shall be enforced as if the unenforceable
term or provision were deleted, or (ii) by or before any other authority of any
of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
