The Company issued the Diffon Shareholders an aggregate of 550,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in exchange for 440,000 shares of capital stock of Diffon, representing approximately 20.1% of the outstanding capital stock of Diffon. Under the Agreement, the Diffon Shareholders, acting together, have an unconditional right of rescission for one year, so that they may elect to return the Company Common Stock received by them and receive the Diffon shares in return. In the second transaction, pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 1, 2009, the Company purchased 666,667 newly-issued shares of Diffon, representing approximately 30.5% of the outstanding capital stock of Diffon after giving effect to the issuance, for cash in the amount of $833,333. The Agreement provides that at the Closing the Board of Directors of Diffon will be fixed at five directors, including two directors to be designated by the Company, and that the Company, Diffon and the Diffon Shareholders will enter into a Shareholders' Agreement concerning ownership of the Diffon shares and certain other matters. The Shareholders' Agreement, also dated October 1, 2009, (i) provides for restrictions on transfer of Diffon shares by the Diffon shareholders, (ii) grants the Company a right of first refusal to purchase the Diffon shares held by the Diffon Shareholders, (iii) grants the Company a right of first refusal to purchase any new shares offered by Diffon, (iv) provides for certain "co-sale" rights and "drag-along" rights in the event of a sale of Diffon, (v) grants the Company registration rights with respect to its Diffon shares, (vi) provides that the consent of the Company is required before Diffon can enter into certain major transactions, (vii) grants the Company certain antidilution protection with respect to its Diffon shares, and (viii) requires the Diffon Shareholders to return a portion of the Company shares received by them if Diffon does not meet certain performance milestones. The Shareholders' Agreement also provides that the two persons to be initially appointed to the Diffon Board of Directors are OC Kim, President and a director of the Company, and Joon Won Jyoung, a director of the Company. 2 As part of the transaction the Company and Diffon entered into a Product Supply and Purchase Agreement, dated October 1, 2009, by which Diffon agrees to supply wireless data products to the Company. The agreement is for an initial term of five years, with successive three year renewal terms. Under the Agreement, Diffon agrees to supply its products exclusively to the Company.
