The Company has duly and properly filed or caused to be filed with applicable foreign patent authorities all patent applications owned by the Company (the “Company Patent Applications”). To the best knowledge of the Company, the Company has made no material misrepresentation in the Company Patent Applications. The Company is not aware of any information material to a determination of patentability regarding the Company Patent Applications not called to the attention of the foreign patent authority. The Company is not aware of any information not called to the attention of the foreign patent authority that would preclude the grant of a patent for the Company Patent Applications. The Company has no knowledge of any information that would preclude the Company from having clear title to the Company Patent Applications.

(p) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its and the Subsidiaries’ existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business on terms consistent with market for the Company’s and such Subsidiaries’ respective lines of business.

(q) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

(r) Internal Accounting Controls. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company is in material compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 currently applicable to the Company. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Form 10-K has been prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures in accordance with Item 307 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act for the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year-end (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed Form 10-K the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls. The books, records and accounts of the Company accurately and fairly reflect the transactions in, and dispositions of, the assets of, and the results of operations of, the Company. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

All taxes and other assessments and levies that the Company and each Subsidiary is required to withhold or to collect for payment have been duly withheld and collected and paid to the proper governmental entity or third party when due. There are no tax liens or claims pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its assets or property, other than Liens disclosed in the SEC Reports. There are no tax audits or investigations pending, which if adversely determined would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company and the Board have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company's charter documents or the laws of the State of Nevada that is or could reasonably be expected to become applicable to any of the Investors as a result of the Investors and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the Company's issuance of the Shares and the Investors’ ownership of the Shares. The Company has not adopted a stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company.

As to licenses, approvals and government grants and concessions requisite or material for the conduct of any part of the Company or any Subsidiaries’ business which is subject to periodic renewal, neither the Company nor such Subsidiary has any knowledge of any grounds on which such requisite renewals will not be granted by the relevant PRC governmental authorities.

The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no Knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.

Within five Trading Days following the Closing, the Make Good Pledgor agrees to place 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock owned by such Make Good Pledgor (the “Total Make Good Shares”) into escrow in accordance with the Make Good Escrow Agreement along with stock powers executed in blank (or such other signed instrument of transfer acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent) to be held in an escrow account by the Make Good Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Investors and disbursed in accordance with this Section 4.9. Mr. Guohong Zhao and Ms. Jinghua Zhao each undertakes to provide guarantee for the Make Good Pledgor’s performance in accordance of this Agreement and the Make Good Escrow Agreement. The Company shall notify the Investors as soon as the Escrowed Shares have been deposited with the Make Good Escrow Agent. If within fifteen (15) Trading Days following the Closing, the Make Good Pledgor shall not have deposited all Total Make Good Shares into escrow in accordance with this Agreement and the Make Good Escrow Agreement along with stock powers executed in blank (or such other signed instrument of transfer acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent), then, the Lead Investor shall have the right, at its sole discretion and selection, to either (i) cash damages, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to [0.1% of the aggregate value of the Total Make Good Shares calculated by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the fifth day following the Closing] on a daily basis during the period between the sixth day following the Closing and the date on which the Total Make Good Shares are actually deposited into escrow; or (ii) issue a written demand to the Company, upon which the Company shall promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days from the date of such written demand, pay to Investors as listed on the written demand, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to those listed Investors’ entire Investment Amount without interest thereon. As a condition to the receipt of such payment, such Investors shall return to the Company for cancellation of the certificates evidencing the Shares acquired by such Investors under this Agreement.

(b) 2010 Make Good Obligation. If the Company’s After Tax Net Income as reported in its 2010 Annual Report (the “2010 Audited ATNI”) is less than $8,000,000 (the “2010 Guaranteed ATNI”), the Make Good Pledgor agrees that a portion of the Total Escrowed Shares (calculated based on the formula below) which have been pledged with respect to the 2010 Guarantee ATNI (the “2010 Make Good Shares”) shall be transferred to the Investors, on a pro rata basis (determined by dividing the number of shares purchased by each Investor hereunder by the sum total number of shares purchased by all Investors hereunder) for no consideration and without the need of any Investor to take any action with respect thereto. If the Company’s 2010 Audited ATNI is less than the 2010 Guaranteed ATNI, the total number of 2010 Make Good Shares (as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar transactions) to be transferred to the Investors shall be calculated using the following formula:

21


“2010 Make Good Shares” = [(2010 Guaranteed ATNI – 2010 Audited ATNI)/$8,000,000] * 50% of the Total Make Good Shares”

If the Company’s 2010 Audited ATNI is equal to or greater than the 2010 Guaranteed ATNI, no transfer of any 2010 Make Good Shares shall be required to be made by the Make Good Pledgor(s) to the Investors under this Section 4.9(b) and fifty percent (50%) of the Total Make Good Shares shall be promptly returned to the Make Good Pledgor(s) without the need of any approval or consent thereto by any Investor. The remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Total Make Good Shares shall continue to be held in escrow by the Make Good Escrow Agent and shall remain subject to Section 4.9(c) below.

(c) 2011 Make Good Obligation. If the Company’s After Tax Net Income as reported in its 2011 Annual Report (the “2011 Audited ATNI”) is less than $12,000,000 (the “2011 Guaranteed ATNI”), the Make Good Pledgor agrees that a portion of the Total Make Good Shares (calculated based on the formula below) which have been pledged with respect to the 2011 Guarantee ATNI (the “2011 Make Good Shares”) shall be transferred to the Investors on a pro rata basis (determined by dividing the number of shares purchased by each Investor hereunder by the sum total number of shares purchased by all Investors hereunder) for no consideration and without the need of any Investor to take any action with respect thereto. If the Company’s 2011 Audited ATNI is less than the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI, the total number of 2011 Make Good Shares (as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar transactions) to be transferred to the Investors shall be calculated using the following formula:

“2011 Make Good Shares” = [(2011 Guaranteed ATNI – 2011 Audited ATNI)/$12,000,000] * 50% of the Total Make Good Shares”

If the Company’s 2011 Audited ATNI is equal to or greater than the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI, no transfer of any 2011 Make Good Shares shall be required to be made by the Make Good Pledgor to the Investors under this Section 4.9(c), the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Total Make Good Shares shall be promptly returned to the Make Good Pledgor without the need of any approval or consent thereto by any Investor.

(d) For purposes hereof, “After Tax Net Income” shall mean the Company’s net income after taxes for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2011, as the case may be, determined in accordance with GAAP as reported in the 2010 Annual Report or 2011 Annual Report.

(e) Each of the Investors understands and agrees that the right of each such Investor to receive 2010 Make Good Shares or 2011 Make Good Shares, as the case may be, is a unique and personal right of such Investor which requires such Investor to continue to own the shares when the 2010 Audited ATNI or 2011 Audited ATNI, as the case may be, is determined for purposes of this Section 4.9. The right of any Investor to receive any 2010 Make Good Shares or 2011 Make Good Shares, as the case may be, will be proportionately reduced if such Investor does not continue to own the same number of shares on the 2010 Audited ATNI determination date or 2011 Audited ATNI determination date, as the case may be, as are owned on the date hereof. Furthermore, the right to receive Make Good Shares shall not run to the benefit of any transferee of any Shares transferred by any Investor to a third party, other than an entity affiliated with such Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that if any Investor is permitted to transfer, and desires to transfer, any 2010 Make Good Shares or 2011 Make Good Shares (after such 2010 Make Good Shares or 2011 Make Good Shares, as the case may be, shall be properly transferable to any such Investors in accordance with the terms hereof and the Make Good Escrow Agreement), the Company shall promptly instruct its Transfer Agent to reissue and deliver such 2010 Make Good Shares or 2011 Make Good Shares in the name of a permitted transferee as directed by an Investor.

22


(f) If any term or provision of this Section 4.9 contradicts or conflicts with any term or provision of the Make Good Escrow Agreement, the terms of the Make Good Escrow Agreement shall control.

4.10. Subsequent Registrations. The Company is obliged to file a Subsequent Registration Statement with the Commission with respect to any securities of the 2010 Make Good Shares and/or the 2011 Make Good Shares that have been transferred to the Investors (respectively, the “2010 Released Escrow Shares” and the “2011 Released Escrow Shares”). The Company shall cause one Subsequent Registration Statement for each of the 2010 Released Escrow Shares and the 2011 Released Escrow Shares required to be filed under this Agreement to be declared effective under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 4.10.

(a) The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Subsequent Registration Statement covering the resale of the 2010 Released Escrow Shares or the 2011 Released Escrow Shares not already covered by an existing and effective registration statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each initial Subsequent Registration Statement shall be filed within 45 days after the delivery of 2010 Released Escrow Shares or the 2011 Released Escrow Shares to the Investors (the “Filing Date”). Each Subsequent Registration Statement required to be filed under this Agreement shall be filed on Form S-3 (or if the Company is not then eligible to utilize Form S-3, it shall utilize such other available form appropriate for such purpose) and contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Subsequent Registration Statement, provided however that no Investor shall be characterized as an underwriter unless such characterization is consistent with written information provided by the Investor in the Selling Holder Questionnaire) the “Plan of Distribution.”

(b) If: (i) any Subsequent Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date covering the 2010 Released Escrow Shares or the 2011 Released Escrow Shares required under this Agreement to be included therein, or (ii) the Company fails to file a response letter and an amendment to the Subsequent Registration Statement within 30 days of receiving comments from the SEC, (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clauses (i) or (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, being referred to as “Event Date”), then in addition to any other rights the Investors may have hereunder or under applicable law: on each such Event Date, and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Investor an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 0.5% of the aggregate value of the 2010 Released Escrow Shares or the 2011 Released Escrow Shares (the “Aggregated Value”) calculated by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the delivery. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event, except for the day of the first Event Date. In no event will the Company be liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement in excess of 0.5% of the Aggregate Value in any 30-day period. The Company shall not be liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement as to any 2010 Released Escrow Shares or 2011 Released Escrow Shares which are not permitted by the Commission to be included in a Subsequent Registration Statement due solely to Commission Comments from the time that it is determined that such 2010 Released Escrow Shares or 2011 Released Escrow Shares are not permitted to be registered solely due to Commission Comments until such time as the provisions of this Agreement as to the next applicable Subsequent Registration Statement required to be filed hereunder are triggered.

23


4.11. Form D. The Company will timely file a Form D with the Commission with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act.

4.12. No Conflicting Agreements. The Company will not take any action, enter into any agreement or make any commitment that would conflict or interfere in any material respect with the Company’s obligations to the Investors under the Transaction Documents.

As long as the Lead Investor along with its Affiliates holds no less than 5% of shares of Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, (i)the Lead Investor shall have the right to appoint one director; and (ii) the Company shall appoint an additional independent director upon consultation and consent by the Lead Investor.

4.14. Indemnification. Each of the directors, agents or officers of the Company shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability incurred by him as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out his functions other than such liability (if any) that he may incur by his own fraud or willful default. No such Director, agent or officer shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage in carrying out his functions unless that liability arises through the fraud or willful default of such Director, agent or officer. In addition to the indemnity provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold each Investor and all of their respective directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls an Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, provided that such a claim for indemnification relating to any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by the Company in this Agreement is made within two years from the Closing or (b) any action instituted against an Investor, or any of their respective Affiliates, by any Person who is not an Affiliate of such Investor, with respect to any of transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon any agreements or understanding such Investor may have with any such Person or any violations by the Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Investor which constitutes fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).

4.15. Participation Right. Within 24 months of the Closing, the Lead Investor shall have the right to participate proportionally in the Company’s financing activities, excluding the following: 1) underwritten offering; 2) issuance related to acquisition; 3) issuance pursuant to stock option plans; and 4) issuance below $500,000.

4.16. SAFE 75 Filing. The Company covenants to the Investors that Mr. Guohong Zhao will not exercise his option rights under the Option Agreement, as amended, unless (i) he has obtained or completed all applicable approvals, registrations or filings then required under PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Notice Regarding Certain Administrative Measures on Financing and Round-trip Investments by PRC Residents Through Offshore Special Purpose Vehicles effective as of November 1, 2005 issued by PRC’s State Administration of Foreign Exchanges (“SAFE 75”). Evidence showing that Mr. Guohong Zhao has completed SAFE 75 filing, if applicable, shall be provided to the Investors by the Company prior to Mr. Guohong Zhao’s exercise of his option rights under the Option Agreement. or (ii) Mr. Guohong Zhao has provided the Lead Investor with an alternative solution or assurance which results in the Lead Investor agreeing to waive Mr. Guohong Zhao’s obligations under 4.16 (i) above, or (iii) the Investors in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement have collectively sold one hundred percent (100%) of the shares purchased under this Agreement and received under the Make Good Escrow Agreement.

6.10. Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares, until the second anniversary of the date hereof.

6.11. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

6.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

6.13. Rescission and Withdrawal Right.

29


6.14. Replacement of Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.

6.15. Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.16. Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.

6.17. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of an Investor arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Investor, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other Affiliate of such Investor or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of such a Investor shall be personally liable for any liabilities of such Investor.

6.18. Further Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and take all such other actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and to evidence the fulfillment of the agreements herein contained.
