(viii) The ownership, license or rights in the Group IP owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries will not be materially adversely affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

5. Other Agreements of the Parties.

(a) Transfer Restrictions.

(i) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

(ii) Legends. The certificates and agreements evidencing the Securities shall have endorsed thereon the following legend (and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s stock transfer books), and stop transfer instructions reflecting these restrictions on transfer will be placed with the transfer agent of the Shares:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY THE REGISTERED OWNER FOR INVESTMENT, AND WITHOUT A VIEW TO RESALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF WITHOUT AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION DOES NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER OR OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.

(b) Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. On or prior to the fourth (4th) business day following the date of the Closing, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC describing the terms of the Transaction Documents (and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement)). Except as provided in Section 7(b), each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in Section 5(b), such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

(c) Reporting Status. During the one year period from and after the Closing, the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act would otherwise permit such termination.

(d) Reverse Stock Split. The Company will use commercially reasonable to execute a reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of its outstanding shares of Common Stock with a view to satisfying the minimum bid required for the initial listing of shares of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market which shall include the filing of a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date. In the event the Reverse Split is completed and the Company meets the requirements imposed by applicable rules and regulation of the Nasdaq Stock Market for the initial listing of its shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Initial Listing Requirements”), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its shares of Common Stock to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Each Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Company makes no representation, warranty or assurance that (i) the Company will be able to satisfy the Initial Listing Requirements, (ii) in the event that the Company is able to satisfy the Initial Listing Requirements, that its shares of Common Stock will be approved by the Nasdaq Stock Market for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or (iii) in the event that its shares of Common Stock are approved by the Nasdaq Stock Market for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, that it will be able to maintain such listing.

(e) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Shares hereunder as follows (i) in the event that certain Exclusive License Agreement among the Company’s subsidiary and affiliates of WWTT (as defined in Section 5(g) below) is executed and a closing is conducted with respect to the transaction contemplated thereby, $1,500,000 to pay the license fees due thereunder and (ii) the balance for general corporate purposes and working capital.

(f) Standstill. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Board of Directors of the Company or as specifically set forth in the Transaction Documents (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes the transactions contemplated under the SPA), Purchaser agrees that neither Purchaser nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other consultants and advisors) (collectively, “Representatives”) will in any manner, directly or indirectly: (i) effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or announce any intention to effect or cause or participate in or in any way assist, facilitate or encourage any other person to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in (A) any acquisition of any securities (or any beneficial ownership thereof or any right to vote such securities) or assets of the Company, or any rights or options to acquire any securities (or any beneficial ownership thereof or any right to vote such securities), or any assets, indebtedness or businesses of the Company or any of its affiliates, (B) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the Company, any of its affiliates or any assets of the Company or its affiliates constituting a significant portion of the consolidated assets of the Company and its affiliates, (C) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates, (D) any “change in control” of the Company, or (E) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the SEC) or consents to vote any voting securities of the Company or any of its affiliates; (ii) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the Exchange Act) with respect to the Company or its securities or otherwise act in concert with any person in respect of any such securities; (iii) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek representation on or to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the Company or to obtain further representation on the Board of Directors of the Company; or (iv) enter into any discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing.

(g) Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document and the obligations of World Wide Touch Technology (Holdings) Limited, a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (“WWTT”), contemplated under that certain draft Securities Purchase Agreement with the Company (the “SPA”) are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document or of WWTT under the SPA in the event it is executed. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document or the SPA, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, or WWTT pursuant to the SPA shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers and/or WWTT as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers and WWTT are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the SPA, or the voting or disposition of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser or WWTT to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively, and not among the Company, the Purchasers collectively, and WWTT, and not between or among the Purchasers, individually or collectively, and WWTT. No Purchaser shall act in concert, as a group, or together with any other Purchaser or WWTT with regard to any vote of the stockholders of the Company.

6. Subsequent Investments.

(a) The Company may raise additional capital investment from third parties (the “Additional Investors”) and in connection therewith, may issue preferred stock to such Additional Investors (the “Subsequent Investment”); provided that, prior to the Subsequent Investment, the Company shall make an offer to each Purchaser and the holders of any Preferred Shares acquired from any Purchaser (collectively, the “Holders” and individually, a “Holder” ) in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6(b) and 6(c) (the “Proposed Issuance Offer”) such that each Holder shall be entitled to purchase up to such number of newly issued securities based on their respective shareholding percentage in the Company calculated on a fully diluted basis by full payment in cash equal to the per share price to be paid by the Additional Investors and on the same terms and conditions to be offered by the Company to the Additional Investors.

(b) At least thirty (30) days before the proposed Subsequent Investment (the “Proposed Issuance”), the Company shall deliver to each of the Holders a written notice of the Proposed Issuance. Such notice shall state (i) the quantity, type and terms of such issuance of securities; (ii) the consideration which the Company will receive from the Proposed Issuance; (iii) the identity of the Additional Investors; and (iv) the terms of the Proposed Issuance Offer, including the calculation of such Holder’s shareholding percentage in the Company calculated on a fully diluted basis before and immediately following the Proposed Issuance.

(c) Within twenty (20) days from the delivery of the notice set forth in Section 6(b) (the “New Issuance Offer Period”), each Holder who elects to exercise its right in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c) shall give a written notice to the Company. Such notice shall specify the number of securities to be purchased by the Holder and the calculation of such Holder’s shareholding percentage in the Company calculated on a fully diluted basis. Where any Holder fails to give a notice within the New Issuance Offer Period, such Holder shall be deemed to have waived its right in relation to the Proposed Issuance under this Section 6, and the Company may issue the relevant securities not accepted by such Holder to other third parties on terms which are not more favorable than the terms on which they were offered to the Holders.

7. Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Purchasers acknowledges and agrees that: (i) certain of the information contained herein is of a confidential nature and may be regarded as material non-public information under Regulation FD of the Securities Act; (ii) except as provided in Section 7(b), this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be kept confidential by such Purchaser and will not be used for any purpose other than for the purposes of entering into and consummating the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents; (iii) except as provided in Section 7(b), until the time the information contained herein has been adequately disseminated to the public, the existence of this Agreement and the information contained herein shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, be disclosed by any Purchaser to any person or entity, other than its personal financial and legal advisors for the sole purpose of evaluating the entering into and the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, disclose or permit its personal financial and legal advisors to disclose, any of such information without the prior written consent of the Company; (iv) such Purchaser shall make its representatives aware of the terms of this Section 7 and be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by such representatives; (v) except as provided in Section 7(b), such Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of the other party, directly or indirectly, make any statements, public announcements or release to trade publications or the press with respect to the contents or subject matter of this Agreement; and (vi) if such Purchaser decides to not pursue further investigation of the Company or to not participate in the Offering, such Purchaser will promptly return this Agreement and any accompanying documentation to the Company.

(b) Any Party may disclose, or permit the disclosure of, information which would otherwise be confidential if and to the extent (i) required by law or any securities exchange, regulatory or governmental body, (ii) disclosed to its respective affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, finance providers and their respective professional advisers or officers on a need-to-know basis (but it shall remain responsible for the compliance with this Section 7 by any such person), (iii) it comes into the public domain other than as a result of a breach by any party hereto.

8. Non-Public Information. Each Purchaser acknowledges that certain information concerning the matters that are the subject matter of this Agreement constitute material non-public information under United States federal securities laws, and that United States federal securities laws prohibit any person who has received material non-public information relating to the Company from purchasing or selling securities of the Company, or from communicating such information to any person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell securities of the Company. Accordingly, until such time as any such non-public information has been adequately disseminated to the public, each Purchaser shall not purchase or sell any securities of the Company, or communicate such information to any other person save as provided in Section 7(b).

9. Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Each Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales (as such term is defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act)) during the period from the date hereof until such time as (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced or (ii) this Agreement is terminated. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, that the SEC currently takes the position that covering a short position established prior to effectiveness of a resale registration statement with shares included in such registration statement would be a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 239.10.

10. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereto, and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations, guarantees or covenants except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it did not rely upon any statements or information, whether oral or written, provided by the Company, or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives, in deciding to enter into this Agreement or purchase the Shares. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

11. Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Company and the holders of a majority of the Shares sold in the Offering.

At any time prior to the Closing, the parties hereto entitled to the benefits of a term or provision may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Company and the holders of a majority of the Shares sold in the Offering. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Company may not assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the Purchaser. Except as provided in Section 6, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any person not a party hereto (and their successors and assigns) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

14. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall thereupon terminate 24 months from the Closing, except that the representations contained in Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(q), 3(r), 4(a), 4(b) and 4(f) shall survive indefinitely. All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms contemplate actions following the Closing shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. All other covenants and agreements contained herein shall not survive the Closing and shall thereupon terminate.

All capitalized terms defined herein are equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be reformed to render the Agreement valid and enforceable while reflecting to the greatest extent permissible the intent of the parties.
