RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Parties and Mr. Guoshen Tu entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 20, 2011 (the "Merger Agreement"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of which and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company as the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes referred to herein in such capacity as the "Surviving Corporation");

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, certain beneficial owners (the "Rollover Holders") of Company Common Stock entered into a Rollover Agreement (the "Rollover Agreement") pursuant to which the Rollover Holders agreed, among other things, to contribute the shares set forth on Exhibit A owned by such Rollover Holders (the "Rollover Shares") to Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Mr. Guoshen Tu entered into a limited guaranty in favor of the Company with respect to certain obligations of Parent and Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement (the "Limited Guaranty");

WHEREAS, the Parties and Mr. Guoshen Tu desire to amend and restate the Merger Agreement as set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Company Board"), acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee of the Company Board (the "Special Committee"), has (a) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, are advisable and are fair to and in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company, (b) approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, and (c) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company adopt this Agreement (the "Company Board Recommendation"), in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of Parent and Merger Sub has determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger and the Financing, are advisable and in the best interests of their respective stockholders, and has approved the execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Merger Sub, as the case may be, of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger and the Financing, and Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, has adopted this Agreement in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree to amend and restate the Merger Agreement as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger.

1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place at 10:00 a.m., Beijing time, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP, 30th Floor, China World ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇. ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, China, on the second (2^nd) Business Day after the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefits of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver thereof), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing between Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the "Closing Date." As used in this Agreement, the term "Business Day" shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York, the People's Republic of China or Hong Kong are authorized or obligated under applicable Law to be closed.

1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the Parties shall file a certificate of merger (the "Certificate of Merger") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to the Merger, in such form as required by, and executed and acknowledged in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The term "Effective Time" shall be the time when the filing of the Certificate of Merger becomes effective or at such other date and time as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company prior to the Closing Date and specified in the Certificate of Merger.

1.4 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers, immunities and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Surviving Corporation, all as provided in the DGCL and other applicable Laws of the State of Delaware.

1.5 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any of the following securities:

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding the Rollover Shares, any shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.5(b) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to US$6.50 (the "Merger Consideration"), without any interest thereon. The sum of the cash payable to all holders of Company Common Stock in the aggregate is referred to as the "Total Common Stock Consideration." All of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.5(a) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each such certificate or evidence, a "Certificate") shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b), without interest.

(b) Cancellation of Company Common Stock Owned by Parent or Merger Sub. Each share of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and no conversion thereof and no consideration shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Common Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub ("Merger Sub Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value US$0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates, if any, representing shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

1.6 Stock-Based Awards and Warrants.

(a) Each share of Company Common Stock that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, is subject to vesting and/or forfeiture restrictions ("Company Restricted Stock") under the equity incentive plan adopted by the Company Board on February 7, 2007 and subsequently amended in February 2010 (the "Equity Incentive Plan") shall become fully vested immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each such share of Company Restricted Stock shall be treated as a share of Company Common Stock for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) At the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock issued on July 31, 2006 (the "2006 Warrant") and each warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock issued on July 23, 2008 (the "2008 Warrant" and together with the 2006 Warrant, the "Company Warrant") that is outstanding at the Effective Time shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each former holder of any such cancelled Company Warrant immediately following the Effective Time an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (i) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share of such Company Warrant and (ii) the number of Shares subject to such Company Warrant (such payments, collectively, the "Warrant Payments"); provided, that if the exercise price per Share of any such Company Warrant is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Warrant shall be cancelled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof.

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to (i) effect the measures contemplated by this Section 1.6, including the adoption of any plan amendments, obtaining the approval of the Company Board or a committee thereof, and/or obtaining any necessary consents of the holders of the Company Warrants or shares of the Company Restricted Stock and (ii) cause there to be no rights under the Equity Incentive Plan or the Warrants Agreements to acquire Company Common Stock following the Effective Time.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause the conversion of Company Common Stock held by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to the Section 16 of the Exchange Act immediately prior to the Effective Time into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.5(a) to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

1.7 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and are held by stockholders of the Company who are entitled to appraisal rights under section 262 of the DGCL and have properly exercised and perfected their respective demands for appraisal of such shares in the time and manner provided in section 262 of the DGCL and, as of the Effective Time, have neither effectively withdrawn nor lost their rights to such appraisal and payment under the DGCL (the "Dissenting Shares"), shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration as described in Section 1.5(a), but shall, by virtue of the Merger, be entitled to only such consideration as shall be determined pursuant to section 262 of the DGCL; provided that if any such stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such stockholder's right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, such stockholder's shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (without any interest) as described in Section 1.5(a), and such shares shall not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares. Parent shall promptly deposit with the Paying Agent any additional funds necessary to pay in full the Total Common Stock Consideration so due and payable to such stockholders who have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right to seek payment of the appraisal value of such Dissenting Shares.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock or withdrawals of such demands and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, or as required by applicable Law, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands.

1.8 Changes in Company Common Stock. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class of shares, by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), combination, readjustment or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

1.9 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, each of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended in its entirety to read as the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, respectively, of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided therein and by applicable Law, in each case except to the extent necessary to (a) comply with Section 6.5 and (b) reflect that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. until thereafter amended as provided therein and by applicable Law.

1.10 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the directors of the Surviving Corporation shall consist of the directors of Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation's certificate of incorporation and bylaws. From and after the Effective Time, the officers of the Surviving Corporation shall consist of the officers of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation's certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

ARTICLE II

DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

2.1 Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company that is reasonably acceptable to the Company as may be designated by Parent at its own cost and expense (the "Paying Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding Rollover Shares, any shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.5(b) and any Dissenting Shares), cash in an amount sufficient for the Paying Agent to make payments under Sections 1.5(a), 1.6(a), 1.6(b) and 1.7(a), by wire transfer of immediately available funds (such cash amount being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund"). The Paying Agent shall also act as the agent for the holders of shares of Company Common Stock for the purpose of holding the Certificates and shall obtain no rights or interests in the shares represented by such Certificates. The Exchange Fund shall, pending its disbursement to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation in (a) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (b) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, (c) short-term commercial paper rated the highest quality by either ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Ratings Services or (d) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker's acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding US$1 billion; provided that no such investment or losses shall affect the amounts payable to such holders and Parent shall promptly replace or cause to be replaced any funds deposited with the Paying Agent that are lost through any investment so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to make such payments under Sections 1.5(a), 1.6(a), 1.6(b) and 1.7(a) . Earnings from investments, subject to the immediately preceding proviso, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Corporation. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

2.2 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each individual, partnership, joint venture, corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity ("Person") who was at the Effective Time a holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.5(a) (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates that formerly evidenced the shares of Company Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent, and which shall have such customary provisions with respect to delivery of an "agent's message" with respect to shares held in book-entry form as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates pursuant to such letter of transmittal in exchange for the Merger Consideration (which instructions shall provide that, at the election of the surrendering holder, such Certificates (including, as applicable, any book-entry shares) may be surrendered and the Merger Consideration in exchange therefor collected by hand delivery), in each case in form and substance reasonably agreed to by Parent and the Company.

(b) Upon (i) surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto or (ii) receipt of an "agent's message" by the Paying Agent, as applicable, in the case of shares held in book-entry form, and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Paying Agent and reasonably approved by Parent and the Company, the holder of such Certificate (including, as applicable, book-entry shares) shall be entitled to receive in respect of each share previously represented thereby cash in the amount of the Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable pursuant to Sections 1.5(a), 1.6(a), 1.6(b) or 1.7(a) .

(c) If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be an obligation of payment that (i) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such tax either has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate (including, as applicable, book-entry shares) shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration in respect of the number of shares previously represented thereby. From and after the Effective Time, holders of Certificates (including, as applicable, book-entry shares) shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, except as provided herein or by applicable Law.

2.3 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest or earnings from investments received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand by the Surviving Corporation, and any holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their respective claims for the Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of their Certificates (or the payments pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or 1.6(b), as applicable), as determined pursuant to this Agreement (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws), without any interest thereon. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders immediately prior to such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate for Merger Consideration that was required to be delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law and was so delivered.

2.4 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration with respect to each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate; provided, however, the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver an agreement of indemnification in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Corporation, or a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.5 Transfer Books. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of shares of Company Common Stock upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Subject to Section 2.4, if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(c) Except as provided below, for at least six (6) years after the Effective Time, (i) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its other Subsidiaries to, maintain in full force and effect, on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties, or any other Person entitled to the benefit of this Section 6.5, as applicable, than, the existing directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement, covering, without limitation, claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated hereby (provided that Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall not be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate annual premiums currently paid by the Company on an annualized basis (the "D&O Premium"), but in such case shall purchase as much of such coverage as possible for such amount); and (ii) Parent shall not, and shall not permit the Surviving Corporation or its other Subsidiaries to, take any action that would prejudice the rights of, or otherwise impede recovery by, the beneficiaries of any such insurance, whether in respect of claims arising before or after the Effective Time. In lieu of such insurance, prior to the Effective Time, the Company may, following consultation with Parent, purchase a six (6) year "tail" prepaid policy on such terms and conditions (provided that the premium for such "tail" policy shall not exceed an amount equal to the D&O Premium), in which event Parent shall cease to have any obligations under the first sentence of this Section 6.5(c) .

(d) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its other Subsidiaries under this Section 6.5 shall not be terminated or modified by such parties in a manner so as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party, or any other Person entitled to the benefit of this Section 6.5, to whom this Section 6.5 applies, without the consent of the affected Indemnified Party or such other Person, as the case may be. If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to and assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.5.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall survive the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries, and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and each other Person entitled to the benefit of this Section 6.5, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

6.6 Stock Exchange Delisting. After the Effective Time, the Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NYSE and Nasdaq Dubai to delist the Company Common Stock from the NYSE and Nasdaq Dubai and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NYSE and Nasdaq Dubai to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock from the NYSE and Nasdaq Dubai and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

6.7 No Solicitation.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, from the date of this Agreement until 11:59 p.m. New York City time on the date which is sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement (the "Go-Shop Period End Date"), the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall have the right (acting under the direction of the Special Committee) to directly or indirectly (i) initiate, solicit and encourage Alternative Transaction Proposals, including by way of public disclosure and by way of providing access to non-public information to any Person (each, a "Solicited Person") pursuant to (but only pursuant to) one or more Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements; provided, that the Company shall promptly provide to Parent any material non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries that it has provided to any Solicited Person which was not previously provided to Parent; and (ii) enter into and maintain discussions or negotiations with respect to Alternative Transaction Proposals or otherwise cooperate with, assist or participate in, facilitate, or take any other action in connection with any such inquiries, proposals, discussions or negotiations. Within forty-eight (48) hours following the Go-Shop Period End Date, the Company shall notify Parent of the material terms and conditions of the Alternative Transaction Proposals (including any amendments or modifications thereof) received from any Excluded Party and the identity thereof. The Company shall immediately cease any discussions with any Person (other than Parent and any Excluded Party) that are ongoing as of the Go-Shop Period End Date and that relate, or may reasonably be expected, to lead to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 6.7(b) and 6.7(c) . As used in this Agreement, the term "Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement" means a confidentiality and standstill agreement that contains provisions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and shall not prohibit the Company from providing information to Parent which the Company is required to provide pursuant to Sections 6.7(a) and 6.7(d) .

(b) The Company agrees that, after the Go-Shop Period End Date until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, it shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, representatives or agents (collectively, "Representatives") to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly induce an Alternative Transaction Proposal; (ii) provide any material non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries to any Person in connection with an Alternative Transaction Proposal; or (iii) engage in any discussions or negotiations with any third party concerning an Alternative Transaction Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may take and continue to take any of the actions described in Section 6.7(a) and, subject to Section 6.7(d), from and after the Go-Shop Period End Date with respect to any Solicited Person that, prior to the Go-Shop Period End Date, has made a bona fide Alternative Transaction Proposal that the Company Board and the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company's outside financial and legal advisors) constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal (each such Solicited Person, an "Excluded Party"); provided that, for purposes of qualifying as an Excluded Party, the term "Alternative Transaction Proposal" shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 6.7(i)(i) except that the references to "twenty percent (20%)" shall be deemed to be references to "fifty percent (50%)." Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.7(b) to the contrary, any Excluded Party shall cease to be an Excluded Party for all purposes under this Agreement immediately at such time as the Alternative Transaction Proposal made by such party is withdrawn, is terminated or expires, or the Company Board and the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company's outside financial and legal advisors) that such Alternative Transaction Proposal ceases to constitute, or ceases to be reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal (a "Terminated Alternative Transaction Proposal"). At the Go-Shop Period End Date, other than with respect to Persons who at the Go-Shop Period End Date are Excluded Parties, and at any subsequent time with respect to any Person (including a formerly Excluded Party) that has made an Alternative Transaction Proposal that becomes a Terminated Alternative Transaction Proposal, the Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with such Person conducted theretofore by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives with respect to any Alternative Transaction Proposal and shall use reasonable best efforts to require such Person to promptly return or destroy any confidential information previously furnished by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.7(b), in the event that, prior to the receipt of Stockholder Approvals, the Company receives an unsolicited Alternative Transaction Proposal that the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company's outside financial and legal advisors) constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, then the Company may take the following actions:

(i) furnish information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Alternative Transaction Proposal (and its respective Representatives) pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; and

(ii) engage in discussions or negotiations (including, as a part thereof, making counterproposals) with such Person (and its Representatives) with respect to such Alternative Transaction Proposal.

(d) Following the Go-Shop Period End Date, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) advise Parent, orally and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, in writing, of (i) any Alternative Transaction Proposal, (ii) any initial request for non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries related to, or from any Person who would reasonably be expected to make an Alternative Transaction Proposal or (iii) any initial request for discussions or negotiations related to any Alternative Transaction Proposal, in each case of this clause (i), (ii) and (iii) received after the Go-Shop Period End Date, and in connection with such notice, provide the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the Person making such Alternative Transaction Proposal or request. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed in all material respects of the status and details (including material amendments to the terms thereof) of such Alternative Transaction Proposal or request received after the Go-Shop Period End Date.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company Board shall not (i)(A) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent and Merger Sub), or propose publicly to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent and Merger Sub), the Company Board Recommendation or (B) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose publicly to adopt, approve or recommend, any Alternative Transaction Proposal (any action in this clause (i) being referred to as a "Change of Recommendation") or (ii) adopt, approve or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement (each, a "Company Acquisition Agreement") constituting or related to any Alternative Transaction Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement referred to in Section 6.7(b)(i)) . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of Stockholder Approvals, (x) if the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company's outside legal advisors) that the failure to do so could likely be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, may make a Change of Recommendation; and (y) if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company's outside financial and legal advisors) that an Alternative Transaction Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, then the Company may make a Change of Recommendation, enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and/or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(ii) .

(f) The Company shall not be entitled to effect a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement as permitted under Section 8.1(d)(ii) unless (i) the Company has provided written notice (a "Notice of Superior Proposal") at least three (3) Business Days in advance to Parent and Merger Sub advising Parent that the Company Board intends to make a Change of Recommendation or enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to an Alternative Transaction Proposal that either constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute a Superior Proposal, as applicable, and specifying the reasons therefor, and, if such Change of Recommendation is being made as a result of a Superior Proposal, the terms and conditions of such Alternative Transaction Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the Company Board (including the identity of the Person making the Alternative Transaction Proposal and any financing materials related thereto, if any) and (ii) with respect to an Alternative Transaction Proposal received after the Go-Shop Period End Date, the Company has provided a Notice of Superior Proposal to Parent, and during the three (3)-Business Day period following Parent's and Merger Sub's receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and Merger Sub in good faith (to the extent Parent and Merger Sub desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Facility Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, and following the end of the three (3)-Business Day period, the board of directors of the Company and the Special Committee shall have determined in good faith, taking into account any changes to this Agreement and the Facility Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and Merger Sub in response to the Notice of Superior Proposal or otherwise, that the Alternative Transaction Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any material amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.7(f)(ii) .

(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company from issuing a "stop, look and listen" communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or taking or disclosing to its stockholders any position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any other disclosure to its stockholders to comply with applicable Law.

(h) The Company shall have the right to reimburse the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of any Person that has submitted an Alternative Transaction Proposal prior to the receipt of the Stockholder Approvals, if (i) the Special Committee shall have determined in good faith that such Alternative Transaction Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and intended to effect a Change of Recommendation, (ii) in response to such intended Change of Recommendation, Parent shall have revised the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.4(f)(ii) and (iii) the Company shall have not effected a Change of Recommendation with respect to such Alternative Transaction Proposal due to the fact that the Special Committee shall have determined that the Alternative Transaction Proposal submitted by such Person no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal in consideration of such revision of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by Parent.

(i) As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) As used in this Agreement, the term "Alternative Transaction Proposal" means any proposal or offer made by any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Affiliate thereof) to purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of transactions, (A) beneficial ownership (as defined under section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of any class of equity securities of the Company pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction or (B) any one or more assets or businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries that constitute twenty percent (20%) or more of the revenues or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(ii) As used in this Agreement, the term "Superior Proposal" means a written Alternative Transaction Proposal (provided that for purposes of this definition, references to "twenty percent (20%)" in the definition of Alternative Transaction Proposal shall be deemed to be references to "fifty percent (50%)") on terms which the Company Board and Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company's outside legal and financial advisors) to be more favorable to the Company's stockholders from a financial point of view than the terms of this Agreement (taking into account such factors as the Company Board deems appropriate, including any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such offer or otherwise) and to be reasonably capable of being consummated on the terms proposed.

6.8 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, or could have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, and (b) any Proceedings commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company or the knowledge of Parent, as the case may be, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such Party or any of its Affiliates which relate to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.9 Financing.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done (including, if necessary, enforcement of their respective rights under the Facility Agreement), all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Facility Agreement, including using (and causing their Affiliates to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to (i) satisfy, or cause their Representatives to satisfy, on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent, Merger Sub or their Representatives in such definitive agreements, and (ii) cause the lenders and any other Persons providing the Financing (the "Debt Financing Sources") to fund the Financing at the Effective Time. In the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Facility Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative financing from alternative sources, on terms not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Parent and Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates) than those set forth in the Facility Agreement as in effect on the date of this Agreement, in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing that is available, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Alternative Financings"); provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.9 or in any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub be required to amend or waive any of the terms or conditions hereof. Parent shall deliver to the Company as promptly as practicable (and no later than two Business Days) after such execution, true and complete copies of all agreements or other arrangements pursuant to which any such alternative sources shall have committed to provide any such Alternative Financings (the "Alternative Financing Agreements ").

(b) To the extent applicable and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the Alternative Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Alternative Financing Agreements. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect the Alternative Financing Agreements, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions in the Alternative Financing Agreements within its control, (iii) cause the financing sources for the Alternative Financing to fund the Alternative Financing at the Effective Time; and (iv) enforce its rights under the Alternative Financing Agreements.

(c) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or consent to any waiver of any provisions or remedy under, the Facility Agreement and if applicable, the Alternative Financing Agreements, if such amendment, modification or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount) contemplated in the Facility Agreement and if applicable, the Alternative Financing Agreements, (ii) imposes new or additional conditions that would reasonably be expected to (x) prevent or materially delay the ability of Parent to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or (y) adversely impact the ability of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Facility Agreement and if applicable, the Alternative Financing Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prohibit Parent from amending the Facility Agreement to add additional lender(s) (and Affiliates of such additional lender(s)) as a party thereto. Parent shall not release or consent to the termination of the obligations of any party to provide the Financing under the Facility Agreement and, if applicable, the Alternative Financing Agreements. Parent shall give the Company notice promptly (i) upon becoming aware of any breach of any material provisions of, or termination by any party to, the Facility Agreement and, if applicable, the Alternative Financing Agreements or (ii) upon the receipt of any written or oral notice or other communication from any Person with respect to any threatened breach or threatened termination by any party to the Facility Agreement and, if applicable, the Alternative Financing Agreements. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of Parent's efforts to arrange any Alternative Financing, if applicable.

(d) The Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Parent's reasonable requests in connection with the arrangement consummation and funding or draw-down of the Financing and if applicable, the Alternative Financing Agreements; provided that (i) the Company and its Affiliates (as applicable) shall not be required to pay or agree to pay any fees or reimburse any expenses or give any indemnities to any Person prior to the Effective Time and (ii) such cooperation by the Company or its Affiliates (as applicable) shall not be required to the extent such cooperation unreasonably interferes with the Company's or its Affiliates' (as applicable) on-going operations.

(e) Parent shall, promptly upon termination of this Agreement, (i) reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company in connection with cooperation provided for in Section 6.9(d) and (ii) reimburse the Company and its Representatives for any and all losses suffered or incurred by it in connection with the arrangement of the Financing or, if applicable, the Alternative Financing, and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries obtained by Parent, Merger Sub, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the Company and its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives shall not, prior to the Effective Time, incur any liability to any person under any financing that Parent and Merger Sub may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any cooperation provided pursuant to this Section 6.9.

6.10 Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) if any such Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the foregoing, to take all action necessary (including, in the case of the Company and the Company Board, grant all necessary approvals) so that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.11 Resignations. To the extent requested by Parent in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, on the Closing Date, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent duly signed resignations, effective as of the Effective Time, of the directors of the Company and the Subsidiaries designated by Parent.

6.12 Participation in Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, of any Proceedings commenced against such Party which relate to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and no such litigation shall be settled without Parent's prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.13 Publicity. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall consult with the other prior to issuing any press release or making other similar public disclosures with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby and prior to making any filings with any Governmental Entity with respect thereto, except as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or national market system on which such Party's securities are listed or traded, in which case the Party required to make the release or other similar public disclosure or filing shall consult with each other Party to the extent practicable. The Parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in a form heretofore agreed to by the Parties.

6.14 Merger Sub. Parent will take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to (a) cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) ensure that, prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall not conduct any business or make any investments other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement, or incur or guarantee any indebtedness other than the Financing.

6.15 Knowledge of Inaccuracies. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company if at any time before the Closing, Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made by the Company in Article III; provided that such notification shall be for informational purposes only, and a failure to provide such notification shall not be grounds for termination pursuant to Section 8.1(e)(i) . Parent shall not have any right to (i) terminate this Agreement under Section 8.1(e)(i) or (ii) claim any damage or seek any other remedy at Law or in equity for any breach or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties made by the Company in Article III to the extent Mr. Guoshen Tu has actual (but not constructive or imputed) knowledge as of the date of this Agreement of such inaccuracy. As of the date of this Agreement, Mr. Guoshen Tu (x) has reviewed the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including each of the representations and warranties made by the Company in Article III, and is not aware of any inaccuracy or breach in the representations and warranties made by the Company in Article III and (y) has no actual (but not constructive or imputed) knowledge of any circumstance, event, change, effect or development, the existence or magnitude of which has or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.16 Employee Matters. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and continuing through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Parent shall provide each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries with a level of compensation and employee benefits that is no less favorable in the aggregate than the level of compensation and employee benefits provided to such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. The welfare plans of the Parent or its Affiliates, including, following the Closing Date, the Company, applicable to each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries (a) shall not contain any exclusions for pre-existing medical or health conditions (to the extent the conditions had been covered under the Company plans as of the Closing Date) and (b) shall credit each employee for the plan year of the Company in which the Closing Date occurs with all deductibles and co-payments applicable to the portion of such plan year occurring prior to the Closing Date. In addition, each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall receive credit for services with the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates and predecessors under the Parent's employee benefit plans for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual; provided, however, that in no event shall such credit result in the duplication of benefits or the funding thereof.

8.3 Fees and Expenses.

(a) Except as provided otherwise provided in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated.

(i) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii);

(ii) (A) after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Stockholders' Meeting, any Person shall have made an Alternative Transaction Proposal which proposal has been publicly disclosed and not withdrawn, and thereafter the Company or Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i) or Section 8.1(c)(ii), and (B) within twelve (12) months after such termination, such Alternative Transaction Proposal shall have been consummated or any definitive written agreement with respect to such Alternative Transaction Proposal shall have been entered into; provided that for the purpose of this clause (ii) the term "Alternative Transaction Proposal" shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 6.7(i)(i) except that the references to "twenty percent (20%)" shall be deemed to be references to "fifty percent (50%)."); or

(iii) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e)(ii), then the Company shall pay Parent a fee in the amount of US$10,000,000 (the "Company Termination Fee"), except that in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) in connection with an Alternative Transaction Proposal received by the Company on or before the Go-Shop Period End Date, the "Company Termination Fee" shall mean a fee in the amount of US$5,000,000. The Company shall pay Parent the Company Termination Fee no later than five (5) Business Days after such termination, in the case of a termination described in Section 8.3(b)(i) or Section 8.3(b)(iii) above, or no later than five (5) Business Days after such the consummation of such transaction, in the case of a termination described in Section 8.3(b)(ii) above. For the purposes of the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee (x) on more than one (1) occasion or (y) if, at the time this Agreement is terminated, this Agreement could have been terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) . The Parties agree that the payment of the Company Termination Fee shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event any such payment becomes due and payable pursuant to this Section 8.3(b) upon termination of this Agreement and, upon payment of the Company Termination Fee, that the Company, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective Representatives shall have no further liability to Parent, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives hereunder.

(c) In the event that the Company terminates this Agreement (i) pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) or 8.1(d)(iii), then Parent shall pay a termination fee to the Company in an amount equal to US$20,000,000 (the "Parent Termination Fee") no later than five (5) Business Days after such termination. The Parties agree that the payment of the Parent Termination Fee shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Company with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event any such payment becomes due and payable pursuant to this Section 8.3(c) upon termination of this Agreement by the Company and, upon payment of the Parent Termination Fee, that Parent, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective Representatives shall have no further liability to the Company, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective Representatives hereunder.

(d) In the event that the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii), in connection with a Superior Proposal received by the Company before the Go-Shop Period End Date, the Company shall reimburse Parent for all documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financing sources (including commitment fees), experts, consultants and the costs of all filing fees and printing costs) incurred by Parent or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in an amount to a maximum amount of US$1,000,000 by payment to Parent of the amount thereof by wire transfer of same day funds as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days following request therefore).

(e) The payments of the Company Termination Fee and the Parent Termination Fee contemplated by Sections 8.3(b) and 8.3(c), respectively, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent or the Company, as applicable, and shall be reduced by any amounts required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Law in respect of taxes. The Company and Parent acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither party would enter into this Agreement. In the event that either Party fails to pay when due any amounts payable under this Section 8.3, then such Party shall (i) indemnify the other Party for all costs and expenses (including disbursements and reasonable fees of counsel) incurred in connection with the collection of such overdue amount, and (ii) pay to the other Party interest on such overdue amount (for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full) at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3%) plus the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required to be made.

8.4 Amendment. Subject to the applicable provisions of the DGCL, at any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties may modify or amend this Agreement, with the approval of the boards of directors of the Parties at any time; provided, however, that (a) in the case of the Company, the Company Board, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, has approved such amendment in writing, and (b) after the Stockholder Approvals has been obtained, no amendment shall be made which changes the Merger Consideration or adversely affects the rights of the Company's stockholders hereunder or is otherwise required under any applicable Law to be approved by such stockholders without, in each case, the approval of such stockholders.

8.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any Party may, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other Party contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party, but such extension or waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. For the purpose of this Section 8.5, Parent and Merger Sub collectively shall be deemed to be one Party.

9.3 Interpretation.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections, Exhibits or Sections of the Disclosure Letter, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of or Exhibit or Section of the Disclosure Letter to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation." The words "hereof," "herein," "hereby," "herewith," "hereto" and "hereunder" and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The definitions in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. Any agreement, instrument or Law defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, unless otherwise specifically indicated. All Sections of the Disclosure Letter and exhibits hereto shall be deemed part of this Agreement and included in any reference to this Agreement.

(b) The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

9.4 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court or a federal or state regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. If for any reason such court or regulatory agency determines that any term, provision, covenant or restriction is invalid, void or unenforceable, it is the express intention of the Parties that such provision, covenant or restriction be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.

9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Facility Agreement, the Limited Guaranty, the Rollover Agreement, the Disclosure Letter and the other documents and the instruments referred to in this Agreement), together with the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

9.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed entirely within such state, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles. The Parties agree that any Proceeding brought by any Party to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of jurisdiction derived from present or future domicile or otherwise in such Proceeding. Each Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Proceeding in any such court or that any such Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

9.7 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. The Parties hereby agree that, except as otherwise provided herein (including Sections 6.5 and 6.9), and the rights which are explicitly provided to third party beneficiaries of the Limited Guaranty and the Rollover Agreement, this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with Section 8.5 without notice or liability to any other Person. The representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties. Accordingly, Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

9.8 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that immediate, extensive and irreparable damage would occur for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, if for any reason Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement, then the Party seeking to enforce this Agreement against such nonperforming Party under this Agreement shall be entitled to specific performance and the issuance of immediate injunctive and other equitable relief without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, and the Parties further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity or pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges and agrees that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement shall not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief and agrees that in the event of any action by the other Party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at Law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds. Any such remedies, and any and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement, shall be cumulative in nature and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies whatsoever which any Party may otherwise have. For the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee under Section 8.3(c) and the expenses referred to in Section 8.3(e), under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the Closing and payment of all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee.

9.9 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS OR INSTRUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, MERGER SUB OR THE COMPANY IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic means), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and Mr. Guoshen Tu have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
