               (a) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and has filed with the Commission the Registration Statement on such Form, including the Base Prospectus, for registration under the Securities Act of the offering and sale of the Securities and the Warrant Shares, and the Company has not prepared or used any preliminary prospectus in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities and the Warrant Shares. When the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto was or is declared effective and as of the date of the most recent amendment to the Registration Statement, it (i) complied or will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and (ii) did not or will not, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to statements in or omissions in the General Disclosure Package made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agents’ Information.

Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or location of the assets or properties owned, leased or licensed by it requires such qualification, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify individually or in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on the assets, properties, financial condition, or in the results of operations or business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”); and to the Company’s knowledge, no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such power and authority or qualification.

               (i) The Registration Statement initially became effective within three years of the date hereof.

Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed in all material respects all of its obligations with respect to such Permits and no event has occurred that allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any other material impairment of the rights of the Company thereunder. Except as may be required under the Securities Act and state Blue Sky laws, no other Permits are required to enter into, deliver and perform this Agreement and to issue and sell the Securities.

the PRC Intellectual Property Authority or other foreign patent office, as applicable; and each such pending Patent is being diligently prosecuted by the Company or its subsidiaries; to the extent that a Patent was acquired by the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to an assignment, such assignment is valid, binding and enforceable, and all PRC governmental approvals in respect of such assignment have been validly obtained and are in full force and effect; the Patents have been duly maintained and are in full force and in effect; no security interests or other liens have been created on or with respect to any of the Patents.

This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnity under Section 5 of the Agreement may be limited by applicable law and as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. The Warrants have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. All necessary corporate action has been duly and validly taken by the Company to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Warrants and the issuance and sale of the Securities and the Warrant Shares by the Company.

               (t) Except as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Warrants by the Company nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and sale by the Company of the Securities and the Warrant Shares) will give rise to a right to terminate or accelerate the due date of any payment due under, or conflict with or result in the breach of any term or provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or require any consent or waiver under, or result in the execution or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any properties or assets of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which either the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or businesses is bound, or any franchise, license, permit, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or violate any provision of the charter or by-laws of the Company or any of its subsidiaries except for such consents or waivers which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect.

The Company has reserved and kept available for the exercise of the Warrants such number of authorized but unissued shares as are sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants. The Shares, when delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and the Warrant Shares, when issued upon exercise of the Warrants, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and none of them will be issued in violation of any preemptive or other similar right. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there is no outstanding option, warrant or other right calling for the issuance of, and there is no commitment, plan or arrangement to issue, any share of stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any security convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, such stock. The exercise price of each option to acquire Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) is no less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined on the date of grant of such Company Stock Option. All grants of Company Stock Options were duly approved by the Company’s board of directors, made in accordance with the terms of the Company’s applicable employee benefit plan and all

applicable laws, recorded in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and no such grants involved any “back dating”, “forward dating,” “spring loading” or similar practices with respect to the effective date of grant. The Common Stock and the Securities and the Warrant Shares conform in all material respects to all statements in relation thereto contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. All outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Company’s subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned directly by the Company or by another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company free and clear of any security interests, liens, encumbrances, equities or claims, other than those described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

               (w) There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its subsidiaries could individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect; and, to the knowledge of the Company, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.

               (x) None of the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is involved in any labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of the Company, is any such dispute threatened, which dispute would have a Material Adverse Effect.

               (y) No transaction has occurred between or among the Company and any of its officers or directors, shareholders or any affiliate or affiliates of any such officer or director or shareholder that is required to be described in and is not described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

There are no tax audits or investigations pending, which if adversely determined would have a Material Adverse Effect; nor are there any material proposed additional tax assessments against the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

               (bb) The Shares and the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized for listing on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (“Nasdaq”) Global Market System. The Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or the listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Market is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.

The audit committee has reviewed the adequacy of its charter within the past twelve months.

               (kk) There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or any of its directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with any applicable provision of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002, any related rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission and corporate governance requirements under the Nasdaq Rules, including, without limitation, Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.

     (vii) The Company shall cooperate with the Placement Agents and their counsel in endeavoring to qualify the Securities and the Warrant Shares for offer and sale in connection with the offering under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Placement Agents may designate and shall maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith, as a condition thereof, to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction or subject itself to taxation as doing business in any jurisdiction.

     (viii) The Company, during the period when the Prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Rules) is required to be delivered under the Securities Act and the Rules or the Exchange Act, will file all reports and other documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

     (ix) On or before completion of this offering, the Company shall make all filings required under applicable securities laws and by the Nasdaq Global Market (including any required registration under the Exchange Act).

     (x) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will issue no press release or other communications directly or indirectly and hold no press conference with respect to the Company, the financial condition or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of any of them, or the offering of the Securities and the Warrant Shares without the prior written consent of the Placement Agents unless in the judgment of the Company and its counsel, and after notification to the Placement Agents, such press release or communication is required by law.

     (xi) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities in the manner set forth under “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus.

               (b) The Company agrees to pay, or reimburse if paid by the Placement Agents, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, all costs and expenses incident to the placement of the Securities and the Warrant Shares and the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement including those relating to: (i) the preparation, printing, reproduction, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement (including all exhibits thereto), the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, all amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing documents, and any document incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, and the printing, filing and distribution of this Agreement; (ii) the preparation and delivery of certificates for the Securities and the Warrant Shares; (iii) the registration or qualification of the Securities and the Warrant Shares for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various jurisdictions referred to in Section 4(a)(vii), including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Placement Agents in connection with such registration and qualification and the preparation, printing, distribution and shipment of preliminary and supplementary Blue Sky memoranda; (iv) the furnishing (including costs of shipping and mailing) to the Placement Agents of copies of the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and all amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, and of the several documents required by this Section to be so furnished, as may be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares; (v) the filing fees of FINRA in connection with its review of the terms of the public offering and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Placement Agents in connection with such review; (vi) inclusion of the Shares and the Warrant Shares for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market; (vii) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Securities and the Warrant Shares, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the production of slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the presentations, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants; (viii) all transfer taxes, if any, with respect to the sale and delivery of the Securities and the Warrant Shares by the Company; and (ix) all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Placement Agents) incurred by the Placement Agents in connection with this Agreement and the proposed sale of the Securities and the Warrant Shares or in contemplation of performing their obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if this offering is successfully closed, and except as otherwise contemplated in Section 5 hereof, that the Company shall only be liable for (x) $50,000 of the out-of-pocket expenses of the Placement Agents (other than fees and expenses of legal counsel); (y) $150,000 of the fees and disbursements of United Statues counsel for the Placement Agents and (z) the full amount of the fees and disbursements invoiced to the Placement Agents by the ▇▇▇ ▇▇ Law Offices and X.J. Wang & Co.

               (c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Placement Agents has acted and is acting solely in the capacity of a principal in an arm’s length transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agents, on the other hand, with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor, agent or fiduciary to the Company or any other person. Additionally, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents have not and will not advise the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company has consulted with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Placement Agents shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company or any other person with respect thereto, whether arising prior to or after the date hereof. Any review by the Placement Agents of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions have been and will be performed solely for the benefit of the Placement Agents and shall not be on behalf of the Company. Other than pursuant to the letter agreement dated January 9, 2009 between the Company and Philadelphia Brokerage Corporation, to which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Susquehanna are not parties, the Company agrees that it will not claim that the Placement Agents, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary duty to the company or any other person in connection with any such transaction or the process leading thereto.

               (d) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Placement Agents, and each Placement Agent represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities and the Warrant Shares that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. The Company has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. The Company represents that is has satisfied and agrees that it will satisfy the conditions set forth in Rule 433 of the Rules to avoid a requirement to file with the Commission any Roadshow. The Company consents to the use by any Placement Agent of a free writing prospectus that (a) is not an “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433, and (b) contains only information describing the preliminary terms of the Securities and the Warrant Shares or their offering.

          5. Indemnification.

               (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Placement Agent and its affiliates and their respective present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such person, including each Placement Agent, a “PA Indemnified Party”) to the extent fully permitted by law from and against any losses, claims,

damages and liabilities, joint or several (collectively, the “Damages”), to which such PA Indemnified Party may become subject in connection with or otherwise relating to or arising from (i) any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the engagement of or performance of services by a PA Indemnified Party hereunder or (ii) an untrue statement or an alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and any Roadshow or the omission or alleged omission in the Registration Statement, General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and any Roadshow to state a material fact necessary in order to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made, and will reimburse each PA Indemnified Party for all reasonable fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Expenses”) as incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any threatened or pending claim, action, proceeding or investigation (collectively, the “Proceedings”) arising therefrom, whether or not such PA Indemnified Party is a formal party to such Proceedings, and in enforcing this Agreement; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Placement Agent (or any person controlling such Placement Agent) on account of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from the sale of the Securities if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in any preliminary prospectus, Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or such amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application in reliance upon and in conformity with any of the Agents’ Information. The Placement Agents, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and their respective present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such person, including the Company, a “Company Indemnified Party,” and together with the PA Indemnified Parties, each an “Indemnified Party”) to the extent fully permitted by law from and against any Damages to which such Company Indemnified Party may become subject in connection with or otherwise relating to or arising from any of the Agents’ Information and will reimburse each Company Indemnified Party for all Expenses as incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any Proceedings arising therefrom, whether or not such Company Indemnified Party is a formal party to such Proceedings, and in enforcing this Agreement.

               (b) The Company agrees not to enter into any waiver, release or settlement of any Proceeding (whether or not any of the Placement Agents or any other Indemnified Party is a formal party to such Proceeding) in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder without the prior written consent of each Placement Agent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), unless such waiver, release or settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of each Placement Agent and each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding and (ii) does not contain any factual or legal admission by or with respect to any Indemnified Party or any adverse statement with respect to the character, professionalism, expertise or reputation of any Indemnified Party or any action or inaction of any Indemnified Party.

               (c) The indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations of the Company hereunder will be in addition to any liability which the Company may have at common law or otherwise to any Indemnified Party and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company or an Indemnified Party.

               (d) Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served. No indemnification provided for in Section 5(a) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as provided in this Section 5(d) if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was prejudiced by the failure to give such notice but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party of any such action, suit or proceeding shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under this Section. In case any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and the approval by the indemnified party of such counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses, except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ its counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by such indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying parties, (ii) the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement thereof, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying parties. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, and proceeding or claim affected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

          6. Contribution. If, for any reason other than in accordance with this Agreement, the indemnity provided for in Section 5(a) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Company will contribute to the amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages (including all Expenses incurred) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company and/or its stockholders on the one hand, and each Placement Agent on the other hand, in connection with the matters covered by this Agreement or, if the foregoing allocation is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative faults of such parties as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The Company agrees that for purposes of this paragraph the relative benefits to the Company and/or its stockholders and each Placement

Agent in connection with the matters covered by this Agreement will be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total value paid or received or to be paid or received by the Company and/or its stockholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not consummated, bears to the fees paid to each Placement Agent under this Agreement; provided, that in no event will the total contribution of all Indemnified Parties to all such Damages exceed the amount of fees actually received and retained by each Placement Agent under this Agreement (excluding any amounts received by each Placement Agent as reimbursement of expenses). Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any alleged untrue statement or omission or any alleged conduct relates to information provided by the Company or other conduct by the Company (or its employees or other agents) on the one hand, or by each Placement, on the other hand. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person, if any, who controls a Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Placement Agent, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 6, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this Section 7. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its written consent. The Placement Agents’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to their respective amounts of placement agent fees each has actually received pursuant to this Agreement and not joint.

          7. Termination.

               (a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date by Oppenheimer on behalf of the Placement Agents by notifying the Company at any time at or before the Closing Date in the absolute discretion of Oppenheimer if: (i) there has occurred any material adverse change in the securities markets or any event, act or occurrence that has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of Oppenheimer, will in the future materially disrupt, the securities markets or there shall be such a material adverse change in general financial, political or economic conditions or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States or the PRC is such as to make it, in the judgment of Oppenheimer, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Securities and the Warrant Shares or enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities and the Warrant Shares; (ii) there has occurred any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States or the PRC is such as to make it, in the judgment of Oppenheimer, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Securities and the Warrant Shares or enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares; (iii) trading in the shares of Common Stock or any securities of the Company has

been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or trading generally on the Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, FINRA, or any other governmental or regulatory authority; (iv) a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or Federal authority; or (v) in the judgment of Oppenheimer, there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the assets, properties, financial condition, or in the results of operations, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business.

               (b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any of its provisions, the Company shall not be under any liability to any Placement Agent, and no Placement Agent shall be under any liability to the Company; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by the Placement Agents because of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Placement Agents for all out-of-pocket expenses (including all fees and disbursements of their counsel) incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed sale of the Securities and the Warrant Shares or in contemplation of performing their obligations hereunder.

          8. Miscellaneous. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company and the Placement Agents, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Placement Agent or the Company or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Sections 5 and 6 hereof, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares. In addition, the provisions of Sections 4(b), 5, 6 and 7 shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

          This Agreement has been and is made for the benefit of the Placement Agents, the Company and their respective successors and assigns, and, to the extent expressed herein, for the benefit of persons controlling any of the Placement Agents, or the Company, and directors and officers of the Company, and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. The term “successors and assigns” shall not include any Investor merely because of such purchase.

          All notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and mailed or delivered or by telephone or telegraph if subsequently confirmed in writing, (a) if to the Placement Agents, to (1) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (2) Susquehanna Financial Group, LLLP ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and (3) Philadelphia Brokerage Corporation, ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and (b) if to the Company, to Chief Financial Officer at BMP Sunstone Corporation, ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇.

          This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

          This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

          This Agreement shall have no effect on that certain letter agreement, dated January 13, 2009, between the Company and Oppenheimer, which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, except that to the extent that any provision in this Agreement is inconsistent with or supersedes a provision of the letter agreement, then the provision of this Agreement shall govern.

IT IS THE INVESTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ARRANGE FOR SETTLEMENT BY WAY OF DVP IN A TIMELY MANNER. IF THE INVESTOR DOES NOT DELIVER THE AGGREGATE PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE SECURITIES OR DOES NOT MAKE PROPER ARRANGEMENTS FOR SETTLEMENT IN A TIMELY MANNER, THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE DELIVERED AT CLOSING TO THE INVESTOR OR THE INVESTOR MAY BE EXCLUDED FROM THE CLOSING ALTOGETHER.

The Investor confirms that it had full access to the Prospectus and was fully able to read, review, download and print it. Investor acknowledges that the Investor will be required to bear the cost, if any, of printing the Prospectus.

          7. No offer by the Investor to buy any Securities will be accepted and no part of the purchase price therefor will be delivered to the Company until the Company has accepted such offer by countersigning a copy of this Agreement, and any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked by the Investor, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time prior to the Company (or the Placement Agents on behalf of the Company) sending (orally, in writing, or by electronic mail) notice of its acceptance of such offer. An indication of interest will involve no obligation or commitment of any kind until this Agreement is accepted and countersigned by or on behalf of the Company.
