-4-

(b) Buyer will, and, from and after the Closing will cause the Company to, (i) provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data, facilities and employees of the Company for purposes of their preparation of the Closing Statement, and (ii) reasonably cooperate with Seller and its representatives in connection with such preparation, including providing on a timely basis all other information necessary or useful in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement as is requested by Seller or its representatives. Buyer shall have the right to dispute any or all of information set forth in the Closing Statement by delivering to Seller a statement (a “Dispute Statement”), which will identify in reasonable detail those items to which Buyer objects (the “Disputed Items”). If a Dispute Statement is not delivered to Seller within 30 days after Buyer’s receipt of the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement as prepared by Seller will be final and binding. In the event a Dispute Statement is delivered by Buyer to Seller, Seller and Buyer will negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items, but if they do not reach a final resolution within 30 days after the delivery of the Dispute Statement to Seller (“Negotiation Failure”), Seller and Buyer will submit any unresolved Disputed Items to the Accounting Firm within ten Business Days of the Negotiation Failure. In the event the parties submit any unresolved Disputed Items to the Accounting Firm, each party will submit a Closing Statement, in the case of Seller, or a Dispute Statement, in the case of Buyer, (which in the case of each party may be a Closing Statement or Dispute Statement that, with respect to the unresolved Disputed Items (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), is different than the Closing Statement initially submitted to Buyer, or the Dispute Statement delivered to Seller, as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate (collectively, the “Final Statements”), to the Accounting Firm within 30 days after the date on which such unresolved Disputed Items were submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution. The Accounting Firm will resolve such dispute by choosing, in its entirety, either the Dispute Statement submitted by Buyer (as revised in accordance with the preceding sentence, if revised at all) or the Closing Statement submitted by Seller (as revised in accordance with the preceding sentence, if revised at all), and will make no other resolution of such dispute (including by combining elements of the respective Final Statements submitted by the parties or by reviewing matters which were not submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution). Seller and Buyer will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the date on which the Accounting Firm receives the Final Statements prepared by Seller and Buyer. The Final Statement selected by the Accounting Firm will be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Accounting Firm. The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be paid by the party whose Final Statement is not chosen by the Accounting Firm in its resolution of the dispute; provided, however, that if the Accounting Firm is engaged but the Disputed Items are resolved between Seller and Buyer before the Accounting Firm completes its work, Buyer and Seller will each pay 50% of the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm. As used herein, (a) the “Final Closing Statement” shall mean the Closing Statement (i) as adjusted to reflect any changes mutually agreed to by the parties, (ii) in the event reviewed by the Accounting Firm, as determined by the final, binding and non-appealable decision of the Accounting Firm and (iii) in the event a Dispute Statement is

-5-

not timely delivered by Buyer, the Closing Statement originally delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 1.05(a), in each case, pursuant to this Section 1.05 and (b) the amount set forth on the line item “Accounts Receivable – Unaffiliated Third Parties” in the Net Working Capital section of the Final Closing Statement is referred to herein as the “Final Accounts Receivable Balance”. The Final Accounts Receivable Balance is subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 6.06.

(c) Following the determination of the Final Closing Statement in accordance with Section 1.05(b), the Purchase Price shall be recalculated (as set forth in Section 1.02(a)) using the final amounts of Cash, Indebtedness and Net Working Capital set forth thereon (the “Final Purchase Price”) in lieu of the estimated figures used to determine the Closing Payment:

(i) if the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Closing Payment, then, within five Business Days after such determination, Buyer will pay to the account specified by Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such excess; and

(ii) if the Final Purchase Price is less than the Closing Payment, then, within five Business Days after such determination, Seller will pay to the account specified by Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such difference.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, any payments made pursuant to the foregoing shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price.

Section 1.06. Realized Accounts Receivable Post-Closing Payment Adjustment.

(a) As promptly as possible, but in any event within 30 days after the 9 month anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller will prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Realized Accounts Receivable Statement”), in reasonable detail, of the Final Accounts Receivable Balance that were actually collected by the Company on or prior to the 9 month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Realized Accounts Receivable”). The Realized Accounts Receivable Statement will be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company’s accounting principles and practices regarding accounts receivable in effect prior to the Closing. Buyer will, and (from and after the Closing) will cause the Company to, (i) provide Seller and its representatives with full access during normal business hours to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data, facilities and employees of the Company for purposes of Seller’s preparation of the Realized Accounts Receivable Statement, and (ii) cooperate fully with Seller and its representatives in connection with such preparation, including providing on a timely basis all other information necessary in connection with the preparation of the Realized Accounts Receivable Statement as is requested by Seller or its representatives. Buyer shall have the right to dispute any or all of information set forth in the Realized Accounts Receivable Statement by delivering to Seller a statement (an “AR Dispute Statement”), which will identify in reasonable detail those items to which Buyer objects (the “AR Disputed Items”). If an AR Dispute Statement is not delivered to Seller within 30 days after Buyer’s receipt of the Realized Accounts Receivable Statement, the Realized Accounts Receivable Statement as prepared by Seller will be final and binding. In the event an AR

-6-

Dispute Statement is delivered by Buyer to Seller, Buyer and Seller will negotiate in good faith to resolve the AR Disputed Items, but if they do not reach a final resolution within 30 days after the delivery of the AR Dispute Statement to Seller (an “AR Negotiation Failure”), Buyer and Seller will submit any unresolved AR Disputed Items to the Accounting Firm within ten Business Days of the AR Negotiation Failure. The Accounting Firm shall be mutually engaged by Seller and Buyer and shall have the privileges, powers and immunities of an arbitrator. In the event the parties submit any unresolved AR Disputed Items to the Accounting Firm, each party will submit a Realized Accounts Receivable Statement, in the case of Seller, or an AR Dispute Statement, in the case of Buyer, (which in the case of each party may be a Realized Accounts Receivable Statement or AR Dispute Statement, as applicable that, with respect to the unresolved AR Disputed Items (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other items), is different than the Realized Accounts Receivable Statement initially submitted to Buyer, or the AR Dispute Statement delivered to Seller, as applicable) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate (collectively, the “Final AR Statements”), to the Accounting Firm within 30 days after the date on which such unresolved AR Disputed Items were submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution. The Accounting Firm will resolve such dispute by choosing, in its entirety, the Final AR Statement proposed by either Seller or Buyer, and will make no other resolution of such dispute (including by combining elements of the Final AR Statements submitted by both parties). Seller and Buyer will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the date on which the Accounting Firm receives the Final AR Statements prepared by Seller and Buyer. The Final AR Statement selected by the Accounting Firm will be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Accounting Firm. The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be paid by the party whose Final AR Statement is not chosen by the Accounting Firm in its resolution of the dispute; provided, however, that if the Accounting Firm is engaged but the AR Disputed Items are resolved between Seller and Buyer before the Accounting Firm completes its work, Buyer and Seller will each pay 50% of the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm. As used herein, the Realized Accounts Receivable Statement, as adjusted to reflect any changes agreed to by the parties and the decision of the Accounting Firm, in each case, pursuant to this Section 1.06, is referred to herein as the “Final Realized Accounts Receivable Statement” and the Realized Accounts Receivable as set forth therein is referred to herein as the “Final Realized Accounts Receivable”.

(b) Following the determination of the Final Realized Accounts Receivable Statement:

(i) if the Final Realized Accounts Receivable is greater than the sum of (x) the Final Accounts Receivable Balance plus (y) US$100,000 (such sum, the “AR Ceiling”), then, within five Business Days after such determination, Buyer will pay to the account specified by Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the excess of the Final Realized Accounts Receivable over the AR Ceiling; and

(ii) if the amount equal to (x) the Final Accounts Receivable Balance minus (y) US$100,000 (such amount, the “AR Floor”) is greater than the Final Realized Accounts Receivable, then, within five Business Days after such determination, Seller will pay to the account specified by Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the excess of the AR Floor over the Final Realized Accounts Receivable.

-7-

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any payments made pursuant to the foregoing shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price; and (ii) this Section 1.06 sets forth the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer with respect to any alleged Damages associated with any representations and warranties or covenants of Seller set forth in this Agreement related to the Final Accounts Receivable Balance and the Realized Accounts Receivable.

Section 1.07. Withholding. Except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein, all payments to be made by Buyer or Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear and without deduction of all present and future withholdings, including in respect of any Tax.

If Buyer or its Affiliates receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, subsequent to a payment by Seller or IP Company, then such Person shall promptly reimburse Seller or IP Company, as applicable, for any payment made or expense incurred by such Person in connection with providing such payment up to the amount received by such Person, net of any expenses incurred by such Person in collecting such amount.

-21-

Section 11.05. Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors and permissible assigns of the parties hereto. This Agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned, hypothecated or otherwise transferred by any party hereto (by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written agreement of Buyer and Seller. Any purported assignment in breach of this Section 11.05 shall be null and void.

Section 11.06. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and the parties will amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any prohibited or invalid provision with an effective and valid provision that gives effect to the intent of the parties to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 11.07. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person. The Disclosure Schedule attached to this Agreement has been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately titled sections corresponding to Sections of this Agreement; provided, however, that each section of the Disclosure Schedule will be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Disclosure Schedule. Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedule and

-37-

not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule or Exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including, without limitation, whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule or Exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in this Agreement or in any Disclosure Schedule or Exhibit is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement. The information contained in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Schedule and Exhibits is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any party to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including, without limitation, any violation of Law or breach of contract).

Section 11.08. Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement or any Schedules or Exhibits may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by the parties hereto. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof will extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.

Section 11.09. Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein (including the Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement) contain the complete agreement between the parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

Section 11.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by means of telecopied signature pages or electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf)), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 11.11. Governing Law. All matters relating to the interpretation, construction, validity and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of California, without regard to Laws that may be applicable under conflicts of Laws principles (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California.

Section 11.12. Arbitration. Subject to Section 1.05 (which will govern any dispute arising thereunder), any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in Hong Kong under the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted in accordance with these rules. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English and Chinese. Any award is final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The number of arbitrators shall be three. The parties shall duly and punctually perform their obligations hereunder pending issuance of the arbitral award. Nothing contained herein shall

-38-

preclude any party from seeking provisional, interim or conservatory measures (including injunctive relief) from any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that any decision of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties and shall be non-appealable to a court of Law. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong.

Section 11.13. No Third Party Beneficiaries. No Person other than the parties hereto will have any rights, remedies, obligations or benefits under any provision of this Agreement, other than as provided in Section 11.16 and Section 11.17, and except for the D&O Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 6.05, and IP Company, pursuant to Article 7, who shall in each case of the foregoing be express third party beneficiaries hereunder and the parties agree that each such third party beneficiary shall accordingly have the right to enforce the applicable terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.14. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 11.15. No Presumption. The parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 11.16. Limitation on Recourse. No claim shall be brought or maintained by any party hereto or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any past, present or future officer, director, employee, equityholder, member, partner, manager or controlling person of Buyer or Seller or of any Affiliate of Buyer or Seller, as applicable (all of whom shall be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement for purposes of enforcing this Section), which is not otherwise expressly identified as a party hereto, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of any party hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit or Schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.

Section 11.17. Prior Company Counsel. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees that it and the Company will take all steps necessary to ensure that any privilege attaching as a result of Ropes & ▇▇▇▇ LLP, Sheppard, Mullin, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or other counsel from time to time retained by the Company prior to the Closing (collectively, “Prior Company Counsel”), whether or not in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, will survive the Closing and will remain in effect; provided that from and after the Closing such privilege will be controlled by Seller and not the Company. In addition, each of Buyer and Seller waives, and agrees to cause the Company to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with (i) Prior Company Counsel representing Seller after the Closing and (ii) the communication by Prior Company Counsel to Seller, in any such representation, of any fact known to Prior Company Counsel, including in connection with any negotiation, arbitration, mediation, litigation or other proceeding in any way related to a dispute with either Buyer or the Company following the

-39-

Closing, and the disclosure of any such fact in connection with any process undertaken for the resolution of such dispute. Each of Buyer and Seller acknowledges that it and the Company has had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Prior Company Counsel. This Section 11.17 is for the benefit of Seller and Prior Company Counsel, and Prior Company Counsel is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 11.17. This Section 11.17 will be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 11.17 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of Seller and each Prior Company Counsel affected thereby.
