            (a)        Acknowledgement of Terms. Grantee acknowledges that Grantee has received, read and understood the Plan and the Agreement and agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions.

            (b)        Restrictions on Transfer. If, at the time of grant of the Restricted Shares, there does not exist a registration statement under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), which registration statement shall have become effective and is current with respect to the Restricted Shares, Grantee acknowledges that the Restricted Shares to be issued to Grantee must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered and qualified under the Act, or unless an exemption from registration and qualification is otherwise available. Grantee hereby covenants and agrees with the Company that (i) Grantee is purchasing the Restricted Shares for Grantee’s own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, (ii) at no time was Grantee presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and issue of the Restricted Shares, (iii) at the time Grantee was offered the Restricted Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, an Accredited Investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act, and has initialed the category of Accredited Investor applicable to Grantee on the Grantee Questionnaire presented to Grantee; provided, that if a Purchaser is not a U.S. domestic Person, such Purchaser shall initial the category for foreign persons on the Grantee Questionnaire.

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF OTHER THAN IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PROVIDED THAT THE SELLER DELIVERS TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH OPINION IS REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY) CONFIRMING THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH EXEMPTION. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

                      Grantee understands that the Restricted Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Grantee’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Grantee set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Grantee to acquire the Restricted Shares. All of the information which the Grantee has provided to the Company is true, correct and complete as of the date this Agreement is signed.

                      Grantee further acknowledges that the Restricted Shares may be subject to such restrictions, conditions or limitations as the Company determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by Grantee or other subsequent transfers by Grantee of any Restricted Shares, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by Grantee, and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.

            (c)     Relationship to the Company; Experience. Grantee hereby acknowledges that Grantee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Restricted Shares. Grantee hereby acknowledges and understands that the grant, vest, or receipt of the Restricted Shares may be subject to and limited by the Act, the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Securities Acts”), and other rules and regulations. Should the Company fail to register any grant, vest, or fail to issue the Restricted Shares to Grantee due to any restriction or limitation under the Securities Acts or such other rules and regulations, Grantee shall hold the Company, its Affiliates, or any of its or their officers and directors free from any liability for any of the foregoing failure.

            (d)      Grantee’s Liquidity. In reaching the decision to invest in the Restricted Shares, Grantee has carefully evaluated Grantee’s financial resources and investment position and the risks associated with this investment, and Grantee acknowledges that Grantee is able to bear the economic risks of the investment. Grantee (i) has adequate means of providing for Grantee’s current needs and possible personal contingencies, (ii) has no need for liquidity in Grantee’s investment, (iii) is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Restricted Shares for an indefinite period and (iv) at the present time, can afford a complete loss of such investment. Grantee’s commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to Grantee’s net worth and Grantee’s investment in the Restricted Shares will not cause Grantee’s overall commitment to become excessive.

            (e)      Access to Data. Grantee acknowledges that during the course of this transaction and before deciding to acquire the Restricted Shares, Grantee has been provided with financial and other written information about the Company. Grantee has been given the opportunity by the Company to obtain any information and ask questions concerning the Company, the Restricted Shares, and Grantee’s investment that Grantee felt necessary; and to the extent Grantee availed himself of that opportunity, Grantee has received satisfactory information and answers concerning the business and financial condition of the Company in response to all inquiries in respect thereof.

5


            (f)      Risks. Grantee acknowledges and understands that (i) an investment in the Company constitutes a high risk, (ii) the Restricted Shares are highly speculative, and (iii) there can be no assurance as to what investment return, if any, there may be. Grantee is aware that the Company may issue additional securities in the future which could result in the dilution of Grantee’s ownership interest in the Company.

            (g)      Valid Agreement. This Agreement when executed and delivered by Grantee will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Grantee which is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

            (h)      Residence. The address set forth on the Notice of Restricted Share Award is Grantee’s current address and accurately sets forth Grantee’s place of residence.

            (i)     Tax Consequences. Grantee has reviewed with Grantee’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Grantee understands that Grantee (and not the Company) is responsible for Grantee’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Grantee understands that Section 83 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), taxes as ordinary income the difference between the purchase price for the Restricted Shares and the fair market value of the Restricted Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Restricted Shares lapse for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Grantee understands that Grantee may elect to be taxed at the time the Restricted Shares are granted rather than when and as the restrictions lapse by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the date of grant. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS GRANTEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY ANY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF GRANTEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON GRANTEE’S BEHALF.

            (j)      If Grantee is subject to the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), Grantee hereby acknowledges that Grantee is aware of the relevant requirements under the laws of the PRC regarding overseas investment, including the requirements for approval and registration of overseas securities with competent authorities. Grantee is acquiring the Restricted Shares after obtaining requisite approval or registration from competent authorities of the PRC. Failure to obtain requisite approval or registration shall relieve the Company, and any Affiliate, of any liability in respect of the failure to issue the Restricted Shares. If the failure is revealed or occurs after the issuance of the Restricted Shares, the Company shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to redeem or request Grantee to transfer the Restricted Shares to a transferee who is legally entitled to hold the Restricted Shares at a redemption price (if any) to be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The Company and its Affiliates shall be relieved from any liability for any redemption or request for transfer made pursuant to the foregoing.

7.      No Employment Contract Created. The issuance of the Restricted Shares is not to be construed as granting to Grantee any right with respect to continuance of employment or any service with the Company or any of its Affiliates. The right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate at will Grantee's employment or terminate Grantee’s service at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge or otherwise), with or without cause, is specifically reserved, subject to any other written employment or other agreement to which the Company and Grantee may be a party.

6


8.        Tax Withholding. The Company has the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy national, federal, state, provincial and local taxes (including income and employment taxes) required by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to the grant and vesting of the Restricted Shares.

9.        Interpretation. The Restricted Shares are being issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and are to be interpreted in accordance therewith. The Administrator will interpret and construe this Agreement and the Plan, and any action, decision, interpretation or determination made in good faith by the Administrator will be final and binding on the Company and Grantee.

10.      Notices. All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder will be in writing and sufficient if (i) personally delivered or sent by telecopy, (ii) sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or (iii) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

            (a)      if to Grantee, to the address (or telecopy number) set forth on the Notice of Restricted Share Award; and

            (b)      if to the Company, to its principal executive office as specified in any report filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to such address as the Company may have specified to Grantee in writing, Attention: Corporate Secretary;

or to such other address as the party to whom notice is to be given may have furnished to the other party in writing in accordance herewith. Any such communication will be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered, if personally delivered, or when telecopied, if telecopied with confirmation of transmission by the transmission equipment, (ii) on the first Business Day (as hereinafter defined) after dispatch, if sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier and (iii) on the fifth Business Day following the date on which the piece of mail containing such communication is posted, if sent by mail. As used herein, “Business Day” means a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the city to which the notice or communication is to be sent are not required to be open.

11.      Specific Performance. Grantee expressly agrees that the Company will be irreparably damaged if the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan are not specifically enforced. Upon a breach or threatened breach of the terms, covenants and/or conditions of this Agreement or the Plan by Grantee, the Company will, in addition to all other remedies, be entitled to a temporary or permanent injunction, without showing any actual damage, and/or decree for specific performance, in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof. The Administrator has the power to determine what constitutes a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or the Plan. Any such determinations will be final and conclusive and binding upon Grantee.

12.      No Waiver. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or different nature.

13.      Grantee Undertaking. Grantee hereby agrees to take whatever additional actions and execute whatever additional documents the Company may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on Grantee pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement.

14.      Modification of Rights. The rights of Grantee are subject to modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.

15.      Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

16.      Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile execution and delivery of this Agreement or electronic transmission of signatures in portable document format (pdf) is legal, valid and binding execution and delivery for all purposes.

17.      Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Notice of Restricted Share Award) and the Plan, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previously written or oral negotiations, commitments, representations and agreements with respect thereto.

18.      Severability. In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

19.      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. GRANTEE HEREBY EXPRESSLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
