ITEM 1.01     ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On November 2, 2010, THT Heat Transfer Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with several accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors 4,453,500 shares of the Company’s common stock (the "Shares"), representing approximately 21.8% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $14,251,200, or $3.20 per share. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement will occur upon the effectiveness of Schedule 14C information statement which was filed on November 2, 2010 and the fulfillment of other closing conditions contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

On November 2, 2010, as a condition precedent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investors also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company is obligated to register the Shares. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company must file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on Form S-1 or on Form S-3 (if the Company is then eligible) registering the resale of the Shares and any other shares of common stock issued to the Investors under the Securities Purchase Agreement. If the Company does not file the required registration statement in a timely manner, or if the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment to such registration statement and respond in writing to the comments made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within a pre-defined period, then the Investors are entitled to liquidated damages on a pro rata basis equal to 0.5% of the aggregate investment amount of each Investor for each 30-day period, or part thereof, where the Company's aforementioned registration obligations are not fulfilled.

Lock-up Agreements

On November 2, 2010, the Company entered into separate lock-up agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”) with each director and officer of the Company (each a “Holder”), pursuant to which each Holder agreed that, except as set forth in the Lock-up Agreement, such Holder will not offer, pledge, encumber, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or announce the offering of, any of his or her shares of the Company’s common stock (including any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or representing the rights to receive, the Company’s common stock) or engage in any short sales with respect to any security of the Company, for a period commencing from and after the date of the Lock-up Agreement and through and including the second anniversary of the effective date of a registration statement resulting in all Shares being registered for resale by the Investors.

Make Good Escrow Agreement

In connection with its entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement, on November 2, 2010, the Company entered into a make good escrow agreement (the “Make Good Escrow Agreement”) with Wisetop International Holdings Limited (the “Pledgor”), the Investors, Infinity I-China Fund (Cayman) L.P. (“Infinity”) and the escrow agent, pursuant to which the Pledgor agreed to certain “make good” provisions in the event that the Company does not meet certain income thresholds for fiscal years 2010 and/or 2011. Pursuant to the Make Good Escrow Agreement, the Pledgor will establish an escrow account and deliver to the escrow agent certificates evidencing 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Pledgor (the “Make Good Shares”) along with blank stock powers, to be held for the benefit of the Investors.

The Pledgor agreed that: (i) if the after tax net income (the “ATNI”) for the Company’s 2010 fiscal year is less than $8,000,000; or (ii) if the ATNI for the Company’s 2011 fiscal year is less than $12,000,000, then, in each case, the Pledgor will transfer to the Investors, on a pro rata basis, for no additional consideration, one-half of the Make Good Shares within 10 business days after the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K is filed for the respective fiscal year.

In such event, the Pledgor’s obligation to transfer the Make Good Shares continues to apply to each of the Investors, even if an Investor has transferred or sold all or any portion of its securities, and each of the Investors shall have the right to assign its rights to receive a pro rata portion of the Make Good Shares in conjunction with negotiated sales or transfers of any of its securities.

If the ATNI for the Company’s 2010 fiscal year equals or exceeds $8,000,000, then one-half of the Make Good Shares will be released to the Pledgor. If the ATNI equals or exceeds $12,000,000 for the Company’s 2011 fiscal year, then the remaining one-half of the Make Good Shares will be released to the Pledgor. The Make Good Escrow Agreement will terminate upon the distribution of all the Make Good Shares.


Right of Co-Sale Agreement

Also in connection with its entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement, on November 2, 2010 the Company entered into a right of co-sale agreement (the “Right of Co-Sale Agreement”) with three investors and the Key Holders (as defined in the Right of Co-Sale Agreement), pursuant to which the Key Holders agreed to grant the Investors the co-sale right, other than in an open market transaction or a transaction effected pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan, as long as the shares thus sold do not exceed in aggregate 10% of the then issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in any twelve-month period, an aggregate of 10% or more of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock in a sale proposed by any of the Key Holders to a single entity or individual in a single, multiple, or series of transactions. The transfer price of such a Proposed Key Holder Transfer (as defined in the Right of Co-Sale Agreement) may not be lower than US$3.20 per share unless the Investors agree otherwise. This right will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the average daily trading volume of the Company reaching 50,000 shares for two consecutive months and (b) consummation of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the Right of Co-Sale Agreement).

Closing Escrow Agreement

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a closing escrow agreement (the "Closing Escrow Agreement") with Infinity, as investor agent, and Escrow, LLC, as escrow agent, pursuant to which the parties agreed to deposit the investment amount received from the Investors into escrow to be released upon the occurrence of the events set forth in the Closing Escrow Agreement.

This brief description of the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Lock-up Agreement, Make Good Escrow Agreement, Right of Co-Sale Agreement and Closing Escrow Agreement is qualified by reference to the provisions of the forms of agreements attached to this report as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5.

ITEM 3.02     UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On November 2, 2010, we agreed to issue 4,453,500 shares of our common stock to the Investors. The issuance of our shares to these investors was made in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering and Regulation S promulgated thereunder.

We relied upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act in issuing the shares of common stock to the Investors. The Investors made representations that (a) they are acquiring their shares as principal for their own accounts for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to such Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, (b) at the time the Investors were offered the Shares, they were not a U.S. Person as such term is defined in Section 902(a) of Regulation S under the Securities Act and the Investors are not registered broker-dealers under Section 15 of the Exchange Act, (c) the Investors are not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement, (d) the Investors had the opportunity to ask such questions as they have deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares, they had access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and they had the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment, and (e) the Investors have not directly or indirectly, nor has any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Investors, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company since the earlier to occur of (1) the time that such Investors were first contacted by the Company regarding an investment in the Company and (2) the 30th day prior to the Closing Date.

Registration.

(a) On or prior to the applicable Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities 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 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 Registration Statement, provided however that no Holder shall be characterized as an underwriter unless such characterization is consistent with written information provided by the Holder in the Selling Holder Questionnaire) the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A. The Company shall cause each Registration Statement required to be filed under this Agreement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than its Effectiveness Date (including filing with the Commission a request for acceleration of effectiveness in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act within five (5) Business Days after the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or not be subject to further review and the effectiveness of such Registration Statement may be accelerated), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep each such Registration Statement continuously effective during its entire Effectiveness Period. By 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date of each Registration Statement, the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement (the “424 Prospectus”) (whether or not such filing is technically required under such Rule). If for any reason other than due solely to SEC Restrictions, a Registration Statement is effective but not all outstanding Registrable Securities are registered for resale pursuant thereto, then the Company shall prepare and file by the applicable Filing Date an additional Registration Statement to register the resale of all such unregistered Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, if the Company receives Commission Comments, and following discussions with and responses to the Commission in which the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to cause as many Registrable Securities for as many Holders as possible to be included in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) without characterizing any Holder as an underwriter unless such characterization is consistent with written information provided by the Holder in the Selling Holder Questionnaire (and in such regard uses commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Commission to permit the affected Holders or their respective counsel to participate in Commission conversations on such issue together with Company Counsel, and timely conveys relevant information concerning such issue with the affected Holders or their respective counsel), the Company is unable to cause the inclusion of all Registrable Securities, then the Company may, following not less than three (3) Trading Days (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) prior written notice to the Holders (i) remove from the Registration Statement an appropriate number of Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) provided, that the number of shares that may be included in the Registration Statement will be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis (as nearly as practicable) based on the number of Registrable Securities purchased by all such Holders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, provided further, that no Registrable Securities will be excluded unless and until all other securities of the Company and other stockholders not holding Registrable Securities hereunder who were to participate in an offering subject to a Registration Statement have been excluded; and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities, in each case as the Commission may require in order for the Commission to allow such Registration Statement to become effective; provided, that in no event may the Company characterize any Holder as an underwriter unless such characterization is consistent with written information provided by the Holder in the Selling Holder Questionnaire (the restrictions in subclauses (i) and (ii) above referred to herein as, the “SEC Restrictions”).

4


(c) If all of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) cannot be so included due to Commission Comments, then the Company shall prepare and file by the applicable Filing Date for such Registration Statement(s), such number of additional Registration Statements as may be necessary in order to ensure that all Registrable Securities are covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement. Accordingly, if for example, an initial Registration Statement is filed under this Section 2(c) to register shares omitted from a Registration Statement filed under Section 2(a) due to Commission Comments and Commission Comments again require shares to be removed for such newly filed Registration Statement under this Section 2(c), then the Company will prepare and file additional Registration Statements until such time as all such required Registrable Securities are covered by effective Registration Statements. The Company shall cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, by its Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act during the entire Effectiveness Period. By 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Registration Statement, the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the 424 Prospectus (whether or not such filing is technically required under such Rule).

(d) If the Company did not file the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on Form S-3 because the Company was not then eligible to utilize Form S-3, then promptly following any date on which the Company becomes eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 to register Registrable Securities for resale, the Company shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering all Registrable Securities (or a post-effective amendment on Form S-3 to the then effective Registration Statement) and shall cause such Registration Statement to be filed by the Filing Date for such Registration Statement and declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible thereafter, but in any event prior to the Effectiveness Date therefor. Such Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement, provided that no Holder shall be characterized as an underwriter unless such characterization is consistent with written information provided by the Holder in the Selling Holder Questionnaire) the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act during the entire Effectiveness Period. By 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Registration Statement, the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the 424 Prospectus (whether or not such filing is technically required under such Rule).

5


(e) Until the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, any Holder(s) may notify the Company in writing, pursuant to Section 6(j) below, that it will be selling Registrable Securities pursuant to a firm commitment underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Offering”), by an underwriter which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Underwriter”). The Underwriter and such Holder(s) shall instruct (the “Instruction”) the Company to file or amend a Registration Statement (or if the Company is not then eligible to utilize the form of registration statement that the effective Registration Statement is in for the Underwritten Offering, it shall re-file a registration statement on such other available form appropriate for such purposes) to allow the Underwritten Offering to be conducted pursuant to an effective registration statement. On or prior to the applicable Filing Date, the Company will include any information required about the Underwritten Offering in the Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities as specified in Section 2(a) to 2(d) above. The Company shall cause each Registration Statement required to be filed under this Agreement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than its Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep each such Registration Statement continuously effective during its entire Effectiveness Period. By 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date of each Registration Statement, the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement (the “424 Prospectus”) (whether or not such filing is technically required under such Rule).

(f) If: (i) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date covering the Registrable Securities required under this Agreement to be included therein, or (ii) the Company fails to file a response letter and an amendment to the 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 Holders 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 Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 0.5% of the aggregate Investment Amount paid by such Holder for Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. 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 Investment Amount of the Investors in any 30-day period. The Company shall not be liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement as to any Registrable Securities which are not permitted by the Commission to be included in a Registration Statement due solely to Commission Comments from the time that it is determined that such Registrable Securities 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 Registration Statement required to be filed hereunder are triggered, in which case the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall once again apply, if applicable.

(g) Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a “Selling Holder Questionnaire”). The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement and shall not be required to pay any liquidated or other damages under Section 2(d) to any Holder who fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Selling Holder Questionnaire at least two Trading Days prior to the Filing Date (subject to the requirements set forth in Section 3(a)).

Registration Procedures.

In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

(a) Not less than two Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus, other than a 424 Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall furnish to each Holder copies of such document as proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not have the obligation under this Section 3(a) with respect to the filing of the 424 Prospectus pursuant to Sections 2(a), 2(c) and 2(d). Such documents may be delivered to such Holder via electronic mail (i.e., e-mail). The Company shall not file a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in which the “Selling Stockholder” section thereof differs from the disclosure received from a Holder in its Selling Holder Questionnaire (as amended or supplemented). The Company shall not file a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in which it (i) characterizes any Holder as an underwriter, unless such characterization is consistent with written information provided by the Holder in the Selling Holder Questionnaire, (ii) excludes a particular Holder due to such Holder refusing to be named as an underwriter, or (iii) reduces the number of Registrable Securities being registered on behalf of a Holder except pursuant to, in the case of this subsection (iii), Section 2(b) above, without, in each case, such Holder’s express written authorization.

7


(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that would not result in the disclosure to the Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Registration Statement(s) and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement.

(c) Notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than two Trading Days prior to such filing and, in the case of (v) below, not less than three Trading Days prior to the financial statements in any Registration Statement becoming ineligible for inclusion therein) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement, other than a 424 Prospectus, or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders that pertain to the Holders as a Selling Stockholder or to the Plan of Distribution, but not information which the Company believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

8


(d) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(e) Furnish to each Holder, without charge and at the option of the Company in electronic format, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.

(f) Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

(g) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, register or qualify such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the state securities or Blue Sky laws of all jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder may request, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements; provided, however, in connection with any such registration or qualification, the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where the Company would not otherwise be required to qualify, (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction, or (iv) make any change to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or bylaws.

(h) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement(s), which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.

(i) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(j) in the event of any Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2(e) above, promptly enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form and terms reasonably acceptable to the Company, with the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other actions as the underwriters deem necessary to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or combination or causing its officers to participate in “road shows” to the extent possible given the Company’s business needs).

9


(k) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

(l) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

(m) in the event of any Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2(e) above, use reasonable best efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders, addressed to the underwriters, and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders, addressed to the underwriters and to the Holders.

(n) the Company will cooperate fully with the Investors and the Underwriters and will use reasonable best efforts to declare effective and maintain the effectiveness of any and all Registration Statements required hereunder as soon as possible pursuant to this Agreement, and will take such further actions and execute such further documents and instruments as may reasonably be requested by the Investors or the Underwriters to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

4.

Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company (excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions and all legal fees and expenses of legal counsel for any Holder not to exceed $10,000) shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock are then listed for trading, and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.

Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, investment advisors, partners, members and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or based upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

11


(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly, but in any event within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice of such Proceeding, to assume the defense of such Proceeding, notify the Indemnified Party of such assumption and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (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 thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided, that, the Indemnifying Party shall pay for no more than two separate sets of counsel for all Indemnified Parties and such legal counsel shall be selected by Holders of no less than a majority in interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

12


All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

13


The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

6.

Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(c) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

(d) No Other Registration Rights. The Company hereby represents that it is not subject to any contractual obligation for registration rights to register any of its securities under the Securities Act, except for such registration obligations that have already been satisfied.

(e) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of no less than a majority in interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, further that no amendment or waiver to any provision of this Agreement relating to naming any Holder or requiring the naming of any Holder as an underwriter may be effected in any manner inconsistent with the written information provided by the Holder in the Selling Holder Questionnaire.

14


(f) Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees, after the earliest of the closing of the sale of securities by the Company pursuant to a registration statement, the registration by the Company of a class of securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or the issuance by the Company of an offering circular pursuant to Regulation A under the Act, to use its reasonable best efforts:

  • to make and keep current public information about the Company available (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act), at all times;

  • to take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the resale of their Registrable Securities;

  • to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Act and the Exchange Act; and

  • to furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company filed by the Company under the Exchange Act and (iii) such other information as such Holder may reasonably request in order to avail itself of any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

(g) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile (provided the sender receives a machine-generated confirmation of successful transmission) at the facsimile number specified in this Section or (ii) electronic mail (i.e., e-mail) prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section or (ii) electronic mail (i.e., e-mail) on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

Annex A

Plan of Distribution

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

  • ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Investors;

  • block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

  • purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

  • an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

  • privately negotiated transactions;

  • to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;

  • broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

  • a combination of any such methods of sale; and

  • any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

Annex A


Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such Common Stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of Common Stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of securities will be paid by the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers. Each Selling Stockholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this Registration Statement in the ordinary course of such Selling Stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.

FINRA Rule 5110 requires FINRA member firms (unless an exemption applies) to satisfy the filing requirements of Rule 5110 in connection with the resale, on behalf of selling shareholders, of the securities on a principal or agency basis. NASD Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event a selling shareholder intends to sell any of the shares registered for resale in this prospectus through a member of the FINRA participating in a distribution of our securities, such member is responsible for insuring that a timely filing, if required, is first made with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA and disclosing to FINRA the following:

  • it intends to take possession of the registered securities or to facilitate the transfer of such certificates;

  • the complete details of how the selling shareholders’ shares are and will be held, including location of the particular accounts;

  • whether the member firm or any direct or indirect affiliates thereof have entered into, will facilitate or otherwise participate in any type of payment transaction with the selling shareholders, including details regarding any such transactions; and

  • in the event any of the securities offered by the selling shareholders are sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by any selling shareholder in a transaction that directly or indirectly involves a member firm of FINRA or any affiliates thereof, that prior to or at the time of said transaction the member firm will timely file all relevant documents with respect to such transaction(s) with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA for review.

Annex A


No FINRA member firm may receive compensation in excess of that allowable under FINRA rules, including Rule 5110, in connection with the resale of the securities by the selling shareholders, which total compensation may not exceed 8%.

The Company has advised each Selling Stockholder that it is the view of the Commission that it may not use shares registered on this Registration Statement to cover short sales of Common Stock made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If a Selling Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this Registration Statement.

The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (alone or in conjunction with any other event, including any termination of employment) will (A) entitle any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ employees to any compensation or benefit, except as required by any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority applicable to the Company, (B) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or trigger any payment or funding, of any compensation or benefit, including any stock options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units, or trigger any other material obligation or (C) result in any material breach or violation of, or default under, or limit the Company’s right to amend, modify or terminate, any Company employee compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement (each, an “Employee Transaction Benefit”).

The Company is not a party to any agreement to compensate any Person for excise taxes payable pursuant to Section 4999 of the IRC.

(m) Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, approvals, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate United States federal, state, local, PRC national, provincial or local, and other foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, all of which are valid and in full force and effect, except where the failure to possess such certificates, approvals, authorizations and permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and the Subsidiaries have performed in all material respects all of their obligations with respect to such certificates, approvals, authorizations and permits and no event has occurred that allows, or after notice or lapse of time, would allow, revocation or termination thereof, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificates, approvals, authorizations and permits.

(n) Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have valid land use rights for all real property that is material to their respective businesses and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to their respective businesses, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(o) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and its Subsidiaries own, or possess adequate rights or licenses to use, all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights (the “Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses now conducted. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, all such Intellectual Property Rights are valid and enforceable, there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights and no Intellectual Property Rights are involved in any cancellation, dispute or Action and, to the knowledge of the Company and the Subsidiaries, no such Action is threatened. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received a written or oral notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by any of them violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person.

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.

11


(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 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.

Except for fees and compensation payable to Halter Financial Advisory Co., Ltd. or its assigns, and fees payable to Roth Capital Partners, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Investors shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims (other than such fees or commissions owed by an Investor pursuant to written agreements executed by such Investor which fees or commissions shall be the sole responsibility of such Investor) made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall pay, and hold each Investor harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim for fees arising out of the issuance of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor, any Person acting on the Company’s behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six months, made any offer or sale of any security or solicitation of any offer to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D or Regulation S under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of the Securities as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable law, regulation or shareholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.

The issuance and sale of the Shares under the Transaction Documents do not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the shareholders of the Company thereunder is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Investors the Shares contemplated by Transaction Documents.

(v) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and after giving effect to the offer and sale of the Shares will not have become, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

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. There are no outstanding tax sharing agreements or other such arrangements between the Company and any other Person.

(z) Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreements. 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.

(aa) Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise would have a Material Adverse Effect.

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 understands and confirms that each of the Investors will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company (other than Excluded Investors). All disclosure provided by the Company to the Investors regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on the 14 behalf of the Company are true and correct in all material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. To the Company’s knowledge, except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, operations or financial condition, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.

(gg) Solvency. As of the Closing Date, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is and will be Solvent. As used herein, “Solvent” means, with respect to the Company on a particular date, that on such date, in each case including the fair value of the Company’s Intellectual Property, (a) the fair value of the property of the Company is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Company; (b) the present fair salable value of the assets of the Company is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company on its debts as they become absolute and matured; (c) the Company does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond the Company’s ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature; (d) the Company is not engaged in a business or transaction, and is not about to engage in a business or transaction, for which the Company’s property would constitute an unreasonably small capital; and (e) as of the date hereof, the Company is not “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 101, et. seq), as amended from time to time (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The amount of contingent liabilities (such as litigation, guaranties and pension plan liabilities) at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at the time, represents the amount that can be reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability. 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. The SEC Reports set forth as of the date thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments, which are required to be disclosed in such SEC Reports.

4.9. Make Good Obligation.

(a) Escrowed Shares. 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.

(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.

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.

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.

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).

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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

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.

  Re: Offering of Common Stocks to Investors

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, a holder of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), or rights to acquire Common Stock, of THT Heat Transfer Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) understands that you, as representative of the several Investors, propose to enter into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Company and certain other parties named therein, pursuant to which the Company will issue and sell in a private offering of Common Stock of the Company (the "Offering") to Investors. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein that are defined in the Purchase Agreement shall have the meanings given such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the Offering, the Company has agreed to provide the Investors certain registration rights, and in furtherance thereof has agreed to file a registration statement to enable the Investors to resell certain of the securities subject of the Offering.

It is a condition to the Investors' respective obligations to close under the Purchase Agreement and provide the financing contemplating by the Offering that the Undersigned execute and deliver to the Investors this Lock-Up Agreement (“Agreement”).

In consideration of the Investors' agreement to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to proceed with the Offering of the Common Stocks, and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree for the benefit of the Company, you and the other Investors to execute and deliver this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become null and void if the Purchase Agreement is terminated prior to its Closing as to all Investors.

1


2. Representations and Warranties. Each of the undersigned, by their respective execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby represents and warrants to the Investors that (a) each of the undersigned has the full right, capacity and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, (b) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the undersigned and is the binding and enforceable obligation of the undersigned and its successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives, enforceable against the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of the undersigned’s obligations under this Agreement will not conflict with or breach the terms of any other agreement, contract, commitment or understanding to which the undersigned is a party or to which the assets or securities of the undersigned are bound.

3. No Reliance. Each of the undersigned has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to enter into and deliver this Agreement, and hereby confirms that it has not relied on the advice of the Investors, the Company or any other person.

4. Beneficial Ownership. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the Undersigned does not beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) any shares of Common Stock, or any economic interest therein or derivative therefrom, other than those shares of Common Stock specified on the signature page to this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the undersigned (whether now owned as specified on the signature page to this Agreement or hereafter acquired) are collectively referred to as the “Holder’s Shares.”

5. Lockup. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the second anniversary of the effective date of a registration statement resulting in all Shares being registered for resale by the Investors (plus one additional day for each Trading Day following the Effective Date of any Registration Statement during which either (1) the Registration Statement is not effective or (2) the prospectus forming a portion of the Registration Statement is not available for the resale of all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) required to be covered thereby) (the "Lockup Period"), the undersigned irrevocably agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Lead Investor, except as set forth below, it will not (A) offer, pledge, loan, encumber, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, voluntarily make any public announcement of a disposition offering or transfer, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of Holder’s Shares (including any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, or representing the rights to receive, Holder’s Shares) or engage in any Short Sales with respect to any security of the Company; or (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The undersigned further agrees that it will not publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, redemption or disposition or to enter into any transaction described in the preceding sentence during the Lock-Up Period without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Lead Investor. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without prior written consent of the Lead Investor, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the 1933 Act, of any Holder’s Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Holder’s Shares. In furtherance thereof, the Company will (x) place a stop order with the Transfer Agent on all Holder’s Shares, including those which are covered by a registration statement, (y) notify its Transfer Agent in writing of the stop order and the restrictions on such Holder’s Shares under this Agreement and direct the Transfer Agent not to process any attempts by the undersigned to resell or transfer any Holder’s Shares except in compliance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer any of Holder's Shares by (a) bona fide gift or (b) will or intestate succession to his or her immediate family or to a trust the sole beneficiaries of which are one or more of the undersigned and his or her immediate family (the term "immediate family" meaning for these purposes the spouse, domestic partner, lineal descendant, father, mother or sibling of the undersigned), provided that (i) each resulting transferee of such Holder's Shares executes and delivers to the Lead Investor an agreement satisfactory to the certifying that such transferee is bound by the terms of this Agreement and has been in compliance with the terms hereof since the date first above written as if it had been an original party hereto and (ii) the undersigned notifies the Investors at least two (2) business days prior to the proposed transfer or disposition.. Further, undersigned shall be permitted to pledge, encumber, or create a security interest in any or all of its Holder's Shares to secure the payment or performance of indebtedness and other obligations of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to bona fide commercial lending institutions in the People's Republic of China. For purposes hereof, Short Sales include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

2


6. No Additional Fees/Payment. Other than the consideration specifically referenced herein, the undersigned agrees that no fee, payment or additional consideration in any form has been or will be paid to the undersigned in connection with this Agreement.

7. Enumeration and Headings. The enumeration and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in facsimile and in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

9. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions hereof shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the heirs, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be conformed to prevailing law rather than voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the undersigned and, in any event, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon the undersigned.

3


11. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by a written agreement if and only if such modification or amendment is consented to in writing by the Lead Investor.

12. Further Assurances. The undersigned shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any Investor or the Transfer Agent or the Company may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

13. Remedies. The Company and the Investors shall have the right to specifically enforce all of the obligations of the undersigned under this Agreement (without posting a bond or other security), in addition to recovering damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the undersigned recognizes that if it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Company or the Investors. Therefore, the undersigned agrees that each of the Company and the Investors shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

14. Investors’ Reliance. The undersigned, whether or not participating in the Offering, understands that the Investors are entering into the Purchase Agreement and proceeding with the Offering in reliance upon this Agreement.

15. Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be settled definitively and exclusively by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with said Rules. The arbitration shall take place in New York, New York, United States of America. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator shall apply the law of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard for its principles of conflict of laws. Decisions by the Investors participating in the arbitration shall be by majority vote based on the percentage of the Company owned by the individual Investors participating in the arbitration. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.

3. Representations and Undertakings of Make Good Pledgor and the Company and the Guarantors. The Make Good Pledgor (as to itself and the Escrowed Shares) and the Company (as to itself) and each Guarantor (as to itself and the Make Good Pledgor), severally but not jointly, hereby represent and warrant to the Investors as follows: (i) All of the Escrow Shares are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company, and free and clear of all pledges, liens and encumbrances ("Lien").

(iv) The Make Good Pledgor has carefully considered and understands its obligations and rights under this Make Good Agreement, and in furtherance thereof (x) has consulted with its legal and other advisors with respect thereto and (y) hereby forever waives and agrees that it may not assert any equitable defenses in any Proceeding involving the Escrow Shares.

(v) Ms. Zhao is the sole shareholder of the Make Good Pledgor. Ms. Zhao represents that Ms. Dan Li, being the sole director of the Make Good Pledgor, has the full right, power and authorization to sign on this Make Good Agreement on behalf of the Make Good Pledgor.

(vi) Each Guarantor undertakes to the Investors that prior to the delivery and disbursement of the 2011 Make Good Shares in accordance with the Section 4 hereof, there will not be any change in the shareholding structure or directorship of the Make Good Pledgor, whether due to Mr. Zhao’s exercise of his Option or not, unless the Investor Agent’s prior consent is obtained.

4. Disbursement of Escrow Shares.

a. The Make Good Pledgor agrees that in the event that the After Tax Net Income (as defined below) reported in the Annual Report of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, as filed with the Commission on Form 10-K (or such other form appropriate for such purpose as promulgated by the Commission) (the “2010 Annual Report”) is less than $8,000,000 (the “2010 Guaranteed ATNI”), the Escrow Agent (on behalf of the Make Good Pledgor) will transfer the 2010 Make Good Shares to the Investors on a pro rata basis (determined by dividing each Investor’s Investment Amount by the aggregate of all Investment Amounts delivered to the Company by the Investors under the Securities Purchase Agreement) as specified in Exhibit A to this Agreement for no consideration other than payment of their respective Investment Amount paid to the Company at Closing and without any need for action or notice by or on behalf of any Investor. The “2010 Make Good Shares” means the number of shares of Common Stock calculated using the following formula, as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar transactions:

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

In the event that the After Tax Net Income reported in the 2011 Annual Report is less than $12,000,000 (the “2011 Guaranteed ATNI”), the Escrow Agent (on behalf of the Make Good Pledgor) will transfer the 2011 Make Good Shares to the Investors on a pro rata basis (determined by dividing each Investor’s Investment Amount by the aggregate of all Investment Amounts delivered to the Company by the Investors under the Securities Purchase Agreement) as specified in Exhibit A to this Agreement for no consideration other than payment of their respective Investment Amount paid to the Company at Closing and without any need for action or notice by or on behalf of any Investor. The “2011 Make Good Shares” means the number of shares of Common Stock calculated using the following formula, as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or similar transactions:

4


“2011 Make Good Shares” = [(2011 Guaranteed ATNI – 2011 Audited ATNI)/$12,000,000] * 50% of the Escrow Shares” 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 applicable) in each case determined in accordance with GAAP as reported in the 2010 Annual Report or 2011 Annual Report (as applicable).

If prior to the second anniversary of the filing of either of the 2010 Annual Report or 2011 Annual Report (as applicable), the Company or their auditors report or recognize that the financial statements contained in such report are subject to amendment or restatement such that the Company would recognize or report adjusted After Tax Net Income of less than either of the 2010 Guarantee ATNI or the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI (as applicable), then notwithstanding any prior return of 2010 Make Good Shares and 2011 Make Good Shares to the Make Good Pledgor, the Make Good Pledgor will, within 10 Business Days following the earlier of the filing of such amendment or restatement or recognition, deliver the relevant 2010 Make Good Shares and 2011 Make Good Shares to the Investors without any further action on the part of the Investors.

In the event that the 2010 Audited ATNI is equal to or greater than the 2010 Guaranteed ATNI, no transfer of the 2010 Make Good Shares shall be required by the Make Good Pledgor to the Investors under this Section 4 and fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Shares shall be promptly returned to the Make Good Pledgor without the need of any approval or consent thereto by any Investor. The remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Shares shall continue to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent and shall remain subject to this Section 4. In the event that the 2011 Audited ATNI is equal to or greater than the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI, no transfer of the 2011 Make Good Shares shall be required by the Make Good Pledgor to the Investors under this Section and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Escrow Shares shall be promptly returned to the Make Good Pledgor without the need of any approval or consent thereto by any Investor.

Any transfer of the 2010 Make Good Shares and 2011 Make Good Shares under this Section shall be made to the Investors or the Make Good Pledgor, as applicable, within 10 Business Days after the date which the 2010 Annual Report or 2011 Annual Report, as applicable, is filed with the Commission and otherwise in accordance with this Make Good Agreement subject to return as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph and, in the event that any of the 2010 Make Good Shares and 2011 Make Good Shares are required to be distributed to the Investors in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company has agreed that the Investor Agent will provide prompt written instruction to the Escrow Agent with regard to the distribution of the 2010 Make Good Shares and 2011 Make Good Shares, as the case may be, in an amount to each Investor as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Investor Agent will deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Company) a copy of the 2010 Annual Report and 2011 Annual Report. Escrow Agent need only rely on such letters from Investor Agent and will disregard any contrary or further calculations or instructions in such regard delivered by or on behalf of the Company.

5


Each of the Investors understands and agrees that such Investor’s right 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 Make Good Agreement. The right of an Investor to receive any Make Good Shares will be proportionately reduced if such Make Good Beneficiary does not continue to own the same number of shares on the 2010 Audited ATNI determination date or the 2011 Audited ATNI determination date 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 Investors, family member or heir of an Investors or to a trust or similar vehicle established by an Investor in connection with estate planning purposes).

b. Pursuant to Section 4(a), if the Investor Agent delivers a notice to the Escrow Agent that the Escrow Shares are to be transferred to the Investors, then the Escrow Agent shall immediately forward either the 2010 Make Good Shares and 2011 Make Good Shares, as the case may be, to the Company’s Transfer Agent for reissuance to the Investors in an amount to each Investor as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and otherwise in accordance with this Make Good Agreement. The Company covenants and agrees that upon any transfer of 2010 Make Good Shares and 2011 Make Good Shares to the Investors in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, the Company shall promptly instruct its Transfer Agent to reissue such 2010 Make Good Shares and 2011 Make Good Shares in the applicable Investor’s name and deliver the same, or cause the same to be delivered as directed by such Investor in an amount to each Investor as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. If the Company does not promptly provide such instructions to the Transfer Agent of the Company, then the Investor Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed by the Company to give such re-issuance instruction to the Transfer Agent of the Company. If a notice from the Investor Agent pursuant to Section 4(a) indicates that the Escrow Shares are to be returned to the Make Good Pledgor, then the Escrow Agent will promptly deliver either the 2010 Make Good Shares, 2011 Make Good Shares or any remaining proportion of the Escrow Shares after the transfer of 2010 Make Good Shares and/or 2011 Make Good Shares to Investors, as the case may be, to the Make Good Pledgor in accordance with instructions provided by the Make Good Pledgor at such time.

c. The Company and Make Good Pledgor covenant and agree to provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate forms W-9 or W-8 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request, including appropriate W-9 or W-8 forms for each Investor. The Company and Make Good Pledgor understand that if such tax reporting documentation is not provided and certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of the Escrow Property.

5. Notice of Filings. The Company agrees to promptly provide the Investors with written notice of the filing with the Commission of any financial statements or reports referenced herein.

6. Escrow Shares. If any Escrow Shares are deliverable to the Investors in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, (i) Make Good Pledgor covenants and agrees to execute all such instruments of transfer (including stock powers and assignment documents) as are customarily executed to evidence and consummate the transfer of the Escrow Shares from Make Good Pledgor to the Investors, to the extent not done so in accordance with Section 2, and (ii) following its receipt of the documents referenced in Section 6(i), the Company and Escrow Agent covenant and agree to cooperate with the Transfer Agent so that the Transfer Agent may promptly reissue such Escrow Shares in the applicable Investor’s name and delivers the same as provided herein or otherwise directed in writing by the applicable Investors. Until such time as (if at all) the Escrow Shares are required to be delivered pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, (i) any dividends payable in respect of the Escrow Shares and all voting rights applicable to the Escrow Shares shall be retained by Make Good Pledgor and (ii) should the Escrow Agent receive dividends or voting materials, such items shall not be held by the Escrow Agent, but shall be passed immediately on to the Make Good Pledgor and shall not be invested or held for any time longer than is needed to effectively re-route such items to the Make Good Pledgor. In the event that the Escrow Agent receives a communication requiring the conversion of the Escrow Shares to cash or the exchange of the Escrow Shares for that of an acquiring company, the Escrow Agent shall solicit and follow the written instructions of the Make Good Pledgor; provided, that the cash or exchanged shares are instructed to be redeposited into the Escrow Account. Make Good Pledgor shall be responsible for all taxes resulting from any such conversion or exchange.

Assuming the Make Good Pledgor provides good and valid title to the Escrow Shares to be transferred and delivered on behalf of the Make Good Pledgor to the Investors hereunder, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims, the Escrow Agent will ensure that upon delivery of the Escrow Shares, good and valid title to the Escrow Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims will pass to the Investors. The Escrow Agent shall not take any action which could impair Investors’ rights in the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Agent shall not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of (by operation of law or otherwise) or grant any option with respect to any Escrow Shares prior to the termination of this Agreement.

7. Interpleader. Should any controversy arise among the parties hereto with respect to this Make Good Agreement or with respect to the right to receive the Escrow Shares, Escrow Agent and/or the Investor Agent shall have the right to consult and hire counsel and/or to institute an appropriate interpleader action to determine the rights of the parties. Escrow Agent and/or the Investor Agent are also each hereby authorized to institute an appropriate interpleader action upon receipt of a written letter of direction executed by the parties so directing either Escrow Agent or the Investor Agent. If Escrow Agent or the Investor Agent is directed to institute an appropriate interpleader action, it shall institute such action not prior to thirty (30) days after receipt of such letter of direction and not later than sixty (60) days after such date. Any interpleader action instituted in accordance with this Section 7 shall be filed in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, and the Escrow Shares in dispute shall be deposited with the court and in such event Escrow Agent and the Investor Agent shall be relieved of and discharged from any and all obligations and liabilities under and pursuant to this Make Good Agreement with respect to the Escrow Shares and any other obligations hereunder.

8. Exculpation and Indemnification of Escrow Agent and the Investor Agent.

a. Escrow Agent is not a party to, and is not bound by or charged with notice of any agreement out of which this escrow may arise. Escrow Agent acts under this Make Good Agreement as a depositary only and is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of the subject matter of the escrow, or any part thereof, or for the form or execution of any notice given by any other party hereunder, or for the identity or authority of any person executing any such notice. Escrow Agent will have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. Escrow Agent will be under no liability to anyone by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto (other than Escrow Agent) or any maker, endorser or other signatory of any document to perform such person's or entity's obligations hereunder or under any such document. Except for this Make Good Agreement and instructions to Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Make Good Agreement, Escrow Agent will not be obligated to recognize any agreement between or among any or all of the persons or entities referred to herein, notwithstanding its knowledge thereof. The Investor Agent’s sole obligation under this Make Good Agreement is to provide written instruction to Escrow Agent (following such time as the Company files certain periodic financial reports as specified in Section 4 hereof) directing the distribution of the Escrow Shares. The Investor Agent will provide such written instructions upon review of the relevant After Tax Net Income reported in such periodic financial reports as specified in Section 4 hereof or receipt of notice from the Company under Section 4. The Investor Agent is not charged with any obligation to conduct any investigation into the financial reports or make any other investigation related thereto. In the event of any actual or alleged mistake or fraud of the Company, its auditors or any other person (other than the Investor Agent) in connection with such financial reports of the Company, the Investor Agent shall have no obligation or liability to any party hereunder.

b. Neither the Escrow Agent nor Investor Agent will be liable for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent and Investor Agent may each rely conclusively on, and will be protected in acting upon, any order, notice, demand, certificate, or opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by Escrow Agent or Investor Agent, as applicable), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is reasonably believed by Escrow Agent or Investor Agent, as applicable, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent and Investor Agent, as the case may be, hereunder shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Make Good Agreement and no other or further duties or responsibilities shall be implied, including, but not limited to, any obligation under or imposed by any laws of the State of New York upon fiduciaries. NEITHER THE ESCROW AGENT NOR INVESTOR AGENT SHALL BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY (I) DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES WHICH HAVE BEEN FINALLY ADJUDICATED TO HAVE DIRECTLY RESULTED FROM THE ESCROW AGENT’S OR INVESTOR AGENT'S, AS THE CASE MAY BE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (II) SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT OR INVESTOR AGENT, AS APPLICABLE, HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.

8


c. The Company and Make Good Pledgor each hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each of Escrow Agent, the Investor Agent and any of their principals, partners, agents, employees and affiliates from and against any expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, damages or losses suffered by Escrow Agent or the Investor Agent in connection with any claim or demand, which, in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Make Good Agreement or the services of Escrow Agent or the Investor Agent hereunder; except, that if Escrow Agent or the Investor Agent is guilty of willful misconduct or gross negligence under this Make Good Agreement, then Escrow Agent or the Investor Agent, as the case may be, will bear all losses, damages and expenses arising as a result of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. Promptly after the receipt by Escrow Agent or the Investor Agent of notice of any such demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to such demand or claim, Escrow Agent or the Investor Agent, as the case may be, will notify the other parties hereto in writing. For the purposes hereof, the terms "expense" and "loss" will include all amounts paid or payable to satisfy any such claim or demand, or in settlement of any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written consent of the parties hereto, and all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, paid or incurred in investigating or defending against any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Make Good Agreement, and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

9. Compensation of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services as stated in the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B, which compensation shall be paid by the Company. The fee agreed upon for the services rendered hereunder is intended as full compensation for Escrow Agent's services as contemplated by this Make Good Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that Escrow Agent renders any material service not contemplated in this Make Good Agreement, or there is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of this Make Good Agreement, or any material modification hereof, or if any material controversy arises hereunder, or Escrow Agent is made a party to any litigation pertaining to this Make Good Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, then Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated by the Company for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, occasioned by any delay, controversy, litigation or event, and the same shall be recoverable from the Company. Prior to incurring any costs and/or expenses in connection with the foregoing sentence, Escrow Agent shall be required to provide written notice to the Company of such costs and/or expenses and the relevancy thereof and Escrow Agent shall not be permitted to incur any such costs and/or expenses which are not related to litigation prior to receiving written approval from the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

10. Resignation of Escrow Agent. At any time, upon ten (10) Business Days' written notice to the Company and the Investors, Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder. As soon as practicable after its resignation, Escrow Agent will promptly turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed by the Company the Escrow Shares held hereunder upon presentation of a document appointing the new escrow agent and evidencing its acceptance thereof. If, by the end of the 10-Business Day period following the giving of notice of resignation by Escrow Agent, the Company shall have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent, Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow Shares as directed by the Investor Agent with the understanding that such Escrow Shares will continue to be subject to the provisions of this Make Good Agreement.

    2.1 Right of Co-Sale.

(a)          Confidentiality Regarding Proposed Key Holder Transfer. In exchange for the parties willingness to agree to these procedures, each Investor hereby irrevocably agrees that it will hold in strict confidence the existence and terms of any and all communications (whether written or oral) that relate in any way to a Proposed Key Holder Transfer.

(b)          Exercise of Right. If a Key Holder proposes to effectuate a Proposed Key Holder Transfer, a Proposed Transfer Notice shall be delivered by the Key Holder to each Investor after and only if such Investor has delivered to the Company a confidentiality agreement in which such Investor agrees to keep confidential the existence and terms of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer and not transact in any shares of the Company’s securities until the earlier of (i) such time the Proposed Key Holder Transfer is consummated or terminated or (ii) the Proposed Key Holder Transfer ceases to be material non-public information such information. Each Investor who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale must give the selling Key Holder written notice to that effect within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice, and upon giving such notice such Investor shall be deemed to have effectively exercised the Right of Co-Sale. If any Transfer Stock subject to a Proposed Key Holder Transfer is to be sold to a Prospective Transferee, each respective Investor may elect to exercise its Right of Co-Sale and participate on a pro rata basis in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer as set forth in Section 2.1(b) below and otherwise on the same terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice.

2


(c)          Shares Includable. Each Investor who timely exercises such Investor’s Right of Co-Sale by delivering the written notice provided for above in Section 2.1(a) may include in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer all or any part of such Investor’s Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Transfer Stock subject to the Proposed Key Holder Transfer by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Investor immediately before consummation of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned, in the aggregate, by all Investors immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Key Holder Transfer, plus the number of shares of Transfer Stock held by the selling Key Holder. To the extent one or more of the Investors exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the number of shares of Transfer Stock that the selling Key Holder may sell in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.

(i)          Delivery of Certificates. Each Investor shall effect its participation in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer by delivering to the transferring Key Holder(s), no later than fifteen (15) days after such Investor’s exercise of the Right of Co-Sale, one or more stock certificates, properly endorsed for transfer to the Prospective Transferee, representing the number of shares of Common Stock that such Investor elects to include in the Proposed Key Holder Transfer.

(d)          Purchase Agreement. The parties hereby agree that the terms and conditions of any sale pursuant to this Section 2.1 will be memorialized in, and governed by, a written purchase and sale agreement with customary terms and provisions for such a transaction and the parties further covenant and agree to enter into such an agreement as a condition precedent to any sale or other transfer pursuant to this Section 2.1.

(e)          Deliveries. Each stock certificate an Investor delivers to the selling Key Holder pursuant to Section 2.1(b) above will be transferred to the Prospective Transferee against payment therefor in consummation of the sale of the Transfer Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice and the purchase and sale agreement, and the selling Key Holder shall concurrently therewith remit or direct payment to each Investor the portion of the sale proceeds to which such Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. If any Prospective Transferee or Transferees refuse(s) to purchase securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from any Investor exercising its Right of Co-Sale hereunder, no Key Holder may sell any Transfer Stock to such Prospective Transferee or Transferees unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Key Holder purchases all securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from such Investor on the same terms and conditions (including the proposed purchase price) as set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice.

(f)          Additional Compliance. If any Proposed Key Holder Transfer is not consummated within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Company, the Key Holders proposing the Proposed Key Holder Transfer may not sell any Transfer Stock unless they first comply in full with each provision of this Section 2. The exercise or election not to exercise any right by any Investor hereunder shall not adversely affect its right to participate in any other sales of Transfer Stock subject to this Section 2.1.

3


2.2          If, as a result of the granting or existence of the Right of Co-Sale contained herein, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issues any comments to a registration statement or annual or periodic filing made by the Company, which requires the modification or elimination of such Right of Co-Sale, each of the Investors will act in good faith to discuss whether to modify or not to exercise such right in order to allow the Company to resolve to the satisfaction of the Company and the SEC any such comments made by the SEC.

2.3          Effect of Failure to Comply.

(a)          Transfer Void; Equitable Relief. Any Proposed Key Holder Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Transfer Stock not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).

(b)          Violation of Co-Sale Right. If any Key Holder purports to sell any Transfer Stock in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale (a “Prohibited Transfer”), each Investor who desires to exercise its Right of Co-Sale under Section 2.1 may, in addition to such remedies as may be available by law, in equity or hereunder, require such Key Holder to purchase from such Investor the type and number of shares of Common Stock that such Investor would have been entitled to sell to the Prospective Transferee under Section 2.1 had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of Section 2.1. The sale will be made on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as would have applied had the Key Holder not made the Prohibited Transfer, except that the sale (including, without limitation, the delivery of the purchase price) must be made within ninety (90) days after the Investor learns of the Prohibited Transfer, as opposed to the timeframe proscribed in Section 2.1. Such Key Holder shall also reimburse each Investor for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Investor’s rights under Section 2.1.

3.          Exempt Transfers.

3.1          Exempted Transfers.

3.2     In the event this Agreement, the Escrowed Funds or the Escrow Agent becomes the subject of litigation, the Company authorizes the Escrow Agent, at its option, to deposit the Escrowed Funds with the clerk of the court in which the litigation is pending, or a court of competent jurisdiction if no litigation is pending, and thereupon the Escrow Agent shall be fully relieved and discharged of any further responsibility with regard thereto. The Company also authorizes the Escrow Agent, if it receives conflicting claims to the Escrow Funds, is threatened with litigation or if the Escrow Agent shall desire to do so for any other reason, to interplead all interested parties in any court of competent jurisdiction and to deposit the Escrowed Funds with the clerk of that court and thereupon the Escrow Agent shall be fully relieved and discharged of any further responsibility hereunder to the parties from which they were received.

3.3     In the event that the Escrow Agent does not receive any instructions by a date that is 60 days from the date of this Agreement (the “Escrow Termination Date”), all Escrowed Funds shall be returned to the parties from which they were received, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.

4.     Exculpation and Indemnification of Escrow Agent.

4.1     The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person other than itself to make any payment or delivery, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery to be made, or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or anyone else, by reason of any failure, on the part of any other party hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of a document or any other person, to perform such person’s obligations under any such document. Except for amendments to this Agreement referenced below, and except for written instructions given to the Escrow Agent relating to the Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to recognize any agreement between or among any of the parties hereto, notwithstanding that references hereto may be made herein and whether or not it has knowledge thereof.

3


4.2     The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Company or the Investment Agent or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report, or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained), which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any of the terms thereof, unless evidenced by written notice delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.

4.3     The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form, or of the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or property received, held or delivered to it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein; nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable to the Company, the Investment Agent, or to anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights, of the person executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property or this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the use or application of the Escrowed Funds pursuant to the provisions hereof.

4.4     The Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume, in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the proper person or persons, that a fact or an event, by reason of which an action would or might be taken by the Escrow Agent, does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability to the Company, the Investment Agent, or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance upon such assumption.

4.5     To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes, in respect of income derived from the investment of the Escrowed Funds, or any payment made hereunder, the Escrow Agent may pay such taxes; and the Escrow Agent may withhold from any payment of the Escrowed Funds to the Company to the extent due to the Company in accordance with the instructions delivered as set forth in Exhibit C such amount as the Escrow Agent estimates to be sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes not yet paid, and may use the sum withheld for that purpose. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any liability for taxes and for any penalties in respect of taxes, on such investment income or payments in the manner provided in Section 4.6.

4.6     The Escrow Agent and Investment Agent will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against all expenses, including all reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent or Investment Agent in connection with any action, suit or proceedings involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent or Investment Agent hereunder, except for claims relating to gross negligence or willful misconduct by Escrow Agent or Investment Agent or breach of this Agreement by the Escrow Agent or Investment Agent, or the monies or other property held by it hereunder. Promptly after the receipt of the Escrow Agent or Investment Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent or Investment Agent, as applicable, shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an Escrowing Party, notify each of them thereof in writing, but the failure by the Escrow Agent or Investment Agent, as applicable, to give such notice shall not relieve any such party from any liability which an Escrowing Party may have to the Escrow Agent or Investment Agent hereunder.

4


4.7 For purposes hereof, the term “expense or loss” shall include all amounts paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand or liability, or in settlement of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written consent of the Escrow Agent, and all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred in investigating or defending against any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding.

5.     Termination of Agreement and Resignation of Escrow Agent.

5.1     This Agreement shall terminate upon disbursement of all of the Escrowed Funds, provided that the rights of the Escrow Agent and the obligations of the Company under Section 4 shall survive the termination hereof.

5.2     The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder by giving the Company and the Investment Agent at least fifteen (15) business days written notice thereof (the “Notice Period”). Upon providing such notice, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation hereunder except to hold as depositary the Escrow Funds that it receives until the end of such fifteen (15) Business Day period. In such event, the Escrow Agent shall not take any action, other than receiving and depositing the Investors’ checks and wire transfers in accordance with this Agreement, until the Company has designated a banking corporation, trust company, attorney or other person as successor. As soon as practicable after its resignation, the Escrow Agent shall, if it receives notice from the Company and the Investment Agent within the Notice Period, turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed by the Company and the Investment Agent all Escrowed Funds (less such amount as the Escrow Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to Section 7) upon presentation of the document appointing the new escrow agent and its acceptance thereof. If no new agent is so appointed within the Notice Period, the Escrow Agent shall return the Escrowed Funds to the parties from which they were received without interest or deduction.

10.     Consent to Service of Process. The Company and the Investment Agent hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Virginia and of any Federal court located in such state in connection with any action, suit or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any action taken or omitted hereunder, and waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process and agrees that the service thereof may be made by certified or registered mail directed to it at the address listed on Exhibit A hereto.
