NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

SECTION 1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Cayman Islands Companies Law Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) (the “Cayman Companies Law”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. Following the Merger, the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease.

SECTION 1.2 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall execute a plan of merger (the “Cayman Plan of Merger”) in the form contained in Appendix 1 hereto and the parties hereto shall file the Cayman Plan of Merger and other documents required to effect the Merger pursuant to the Cayman Companies Law with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands as provided in Section 233 of the Cayman Companies Law on the Closing Date. The Merger shall become effective upon such filing or at such time thereafter within 90 days of the date of registration of the Cayman Plan of Merger by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands as the parties shall agree, acting in their sole discretion, and as shall be provided in the Cayman Plan of Merger in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law (the “Effective Time”).

SECTION 1.3 Closing of the Merger. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company, Merger Sub and Parent, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time), on the second business day immediately after satisfaction or waiver 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 fulfillment or waiver of those conditions at the Closing) unless another date or time is agreed in writing by Parent and the Company (such date being the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx (Hong Kong), Bank of China Tower, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxxx or another place agreed in writing by Parent and the Company.

SECTION 1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects specified in the Cayman Companies Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall succeed to and assume all the rights, property of every description, including choses in action, and the business, undertaking, goodwill benefits, immunities and privileges, mortgages, charges or security interests and all contracts, obligations, claims, debts and liabilities of Merger Sub and the Company in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law.

SECTION 1.5 Memorandum and Articles of Association. At the Effective Time, the memorandum of association and articles of association of Merger Sub then in effect shall be the memorandum of association and articles of association (“Articles of Association”) of the Surviving Corporation (except that, at the Effective Time, Article I of the memorandum of association shall be amended to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is Funtalk China Holdings Limited”, the Articles of Association shall refer to the name of the Surviving Corporation as “Funtalk China Holdings Limited” and Article II of the memorandum of association shall be amended to read as follows: “The Registered Office of the Company shall be at the offices of Xxxxxx Corporate Services Limited, XX Xxx 000, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, XX 0-0000, Cayman Islands, or at such other place in the Cayman Islands as the directors may decide”), in each case, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

SECTION 1.6 Directors. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Articles of Association until their respective death, resignation, or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

SECTION 1.7 Officers. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Articles of Association until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any of the parties hereto or any other shareholders of the Company:

(a) Securities of Merger Sub. Each ordinary share, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Such ordinary shares shall be the only issued and outstanding share capital of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Merger Consideration. Each ordinary share, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (individually, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(c) and any Dissenters Shares), shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $7.20 per Share without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist and the register of members of the Company will be amended accordingly. Each Share (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(c) and any Dissenters Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest, and any Dissenters Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments due and owing as referred to in Section 2.6.

(c) Cancellation of Shares. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is beneficially owned (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by (i) Parent, Merger Sub or any member of the Consortium (collectively, the “Consortium Shares”) or (ii) any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of its holder, automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(d) Untraceable and Dissenting Shareholders. Remittances for the Merger Consideration shall not be sent to shareholders who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Exchange Agent of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time. A Company shareholder will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) he has no registered address in the register of members (or branch register) maintained by the Company or, (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by the Company a check payable to such shareholder either (A) has been sent to such shareholder and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed or, (B) has not been sent to such shareholder because on an earlier occasion a check for a dividend so payable has been returned undelivered, and in any such case no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to the Company or (iii) notice of the Company Shareholders Meeting has been sent to such shareholder and has been returned undelivered. In the event that monies due to holders of Dissenters Shares and shareholders of the Company who are untraceable exceed $2,000,000, such monies and any monies which are returned shall be held by the Surviving Corporation in a separate bank account for the benefit of holders of Dissenters Shares and shareholders of the Company who are untraceable. Monies unclaimed after a period of seven years from the date of the notice of the Company Shareholders Meeting shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Surviving Corporation. It is acknowledged that holders of Dissenters Shares and shareholders of the Company who are untraceable who, after the Effective Time, wish to receive any monies otherwise payable in respect of the Merger within applicable time limits or limitation periods will be advised by the Exchange Agent, Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, to contact the Surviving Corporation

(e) Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article II to the contrary, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the occurrence or record date of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction.

SECTION 2.2 Treatment of Company Options, Company Warrants and Company Unit Options. (a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company (or, as applicable, the Company Board or the Compensation Committee of the Company Board) shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary (including using its reasonable efforts to obtain any applicable consents and/or amendments) to effect the following provisions of this Section 2.2. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to issue Shares, other share capital of the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any other consideration (other than as required by this Section 2.2) to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Options, Company Warrants or Company Unit Options.

(b) As of the Effective Time, each option to purchase Shares (a “Company Option”) pursuant to the Company’s 2010 Share Incentive Plan (the “Company Option Plan”) that is then outstanding, vested and unexercised (a “Vested Company Option”) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, a cash amount equal to (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Vested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price payable per Share issuable under such Vested Company Option. As of the Effective Time, each Company Option that is then outstanding and unvested (an “Unvested Company Option”) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, a restricted cash award (“RCA”) in an amount equal to (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price payable per Share issuable under such Unvested Company Option. RCAs shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and vesting schedules applicable to the Unvested Company Options without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein and unvested RCAs are not transferable by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge or otherwise; provided, however, that the RCAs shall automatically become fully vested, exercisable and payable and be released from any restrictions on transfer (other than transfer restrictions applicable to Company Options) and repurchase or forfeiture rights, immediately upon termination of its holder’s employment or service with the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliate to which such holder provides services as an employee, consultant or director within twelve (12) months of the Effective Time without cause, unless provided otherwise in an applicable agreement in respect of the RCAs. On the date, and to the extent, that the Unvested Company Options would have become vested without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein, such corresponding portion of the RCAs shall be converted into US dollars and will be delivered to the holder of such RCAs, net of any applicable withholding taxes, as soon as practicable thereafter. The holder of the RCAs is personally responsible for the proper reporting and payment of all taxes related to the distribution.

(c) As of the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase Shares (a “Company Warrant”) that is then outstanding and unexercised shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, a cash amount equal to (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price payable per Share issuable under such Company Warrant.

(d) As of the Effective Time, each unit purchase option to purchase Shares and Company Warrants (a “Company Unit Option”) that is then outstanding and unexercised shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, a cash amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i)(x) the Merger Consideration plus (y) (A) the number of Shares subject to Company Warrants issuable under such Company Unit Option multiplied by (B) the excess if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price payable per Share issuable under such Company Warrants over (ii) the exercise price payable upon the exercise of such Company Unit Option.

(e) As provided herein, unless otherwise determined by Parent, the Company Option Plan shall terminate as of the Effective Time.

SECTION 2.3 Exchange Fund. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company, with the Company’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to act as exchange agent hereunder for the purpose of cancelling the Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Agent”).

(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares, Vested Company Options, Company Warrants and Company Unit Options, an amount in cash sufficient to make payments under Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2 and Section 2.6 (in the case of payments under Section 2.6, an amount equal to the number of Dissenters Shares multiplied by the Merger Consideration). Any cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” Any amounts in the Exchange Fund in excess of the aggregate amounts payable under Article II shall be returned to Parent in accordance with Section 2.7.

SECTION 2.4 Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five business days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each registered holder of Shares (other than holders of Consortium Shares or Dissenters Shares) (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify how the delivery of the Merger Consideration to the registered holders of the Shares shall be effected); and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of any and all share certificates which have been issued representing Shares (the “Certificates”) in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or declaration of loss or non-receipt and, if applicable, indemnity in the required form and in compliance with Section 2.10) to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, each holder of such Certificate and each registered holder of Shares not represented by a Certificate (“Uncertificated Shares”) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration, without interest, for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Share, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. 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 a condition of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (B) 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 and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.4, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, without interest.

SECTION 2.5 Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of the Shares upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or for Uncertificated Shares 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 previously represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares, and at the Effective Time, the register of members of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the register of members of the Surviving Corporation of Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares that evidenced ownership of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.6, 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.

SECTION 2.6 Dissenting Shares. No Person who has validly exercised such Person’s appraisal rights pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares owned by such Person (“Dissenters Shares”) unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person’s appraisal rights under the Cayman Companies Law. If a holder of Dissenters Shares effectively withdraws its demand for, or loses its rights to, appraisal rights pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law with respect to any Dissenters Shares, such Shares shall cease to be Dissenters Shares. Each Dissenters Share shall be entitled to receive only the payment resulting from the procedure in Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law. The Company shall promptly give Parent (i) copies of notices of objection, notices of dissent, any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to Company shareholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct or approve all offers, negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for appraisal under the Cayman Companies Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

SECTION 2.7 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any income or proceeds thereof or of any investments thereof) which remains undistributed to the holders of Shares (other than the Consortium Shares and the Dissenters Shares) for nine months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation on the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holder of Shares (other than the Consortium Shares and the Dissenters Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent (subject to this Agreement and abandoned property, escheat and similar laws) for the Merger Consideration exchangeable for such Shares to which such holder is entitled, without any interest on any portion thereof. Any such portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by such holders of Shares at such time as time at which amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

SECTION 2.8 No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

SECTION 2.9 Investment of the Exchange Funds. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent on a daily basis; provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-l or P-I or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of investment. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the aggregate amounts payable under Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2 and Section 2.6 (in the case of payments under Section 2.6, an amount equal to the number of Dissenters Shares multiplied by the Merger Consideration) shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Section 2.7. To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Exchange Agent to make prompt cash payment under Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2 and Section 2.6 (in the case of payments under Section 2.6, an amount equal to the number of Dissenters Shares multiplied by the Merger Consideration), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make such payments under Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2 and Section 2.6 (in the case of payments under Section 2.6, an amount equal to the number of Dissenters Shares multiplied by the Merger Consideration).

SECTION 2.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit or declaration of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or by the Exchange Agent, an indemnity or the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares formerly represented thereby pursuant to this Agreement.

Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives (other than the members of the Consortium) 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.

In connection with the foregoing, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any antitrust Law, each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate in all respects with each other and use its respective reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including selling, holding separate or otherwise disposing of or conducting its business in a manner which would resolve such objections or suits or agreeing to sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of or conduct its business in a manner which would resolve such objections or suits or permitting the sale, holding separate or other disposition of, any of its assets or the assets of its Subsidiaries or the conducting of its business in a manner which would resolve such objections or suits so long as such actions do not have, and are not reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Company may expressly condition any such sale, holding separate or other disposal, and any agreement to take any such action or to conduct its business in any manner, upon the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 6.5 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company. Thereafter, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, each of Parent and the Company will consult with one another before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to obtaining the approval of such other party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by Law, applicable fiduciary duties or by any applicable listing agreement with or rules of a national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service or by the request of any Governmental Entity, as determined by Parent or the Company, as the case may be.

SECTION 6.6 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. (a) From and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation agrees that it will (and will cause its Subsidiaries to comply with their respective obligations to) indemnify and hold harmless (including any obligations to advance funds for expenses) each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiary (the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or related to such Indemnified Parties’ service as a director, officer or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or services performed by such persons at the request of the Company or its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with (i) the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party. The indemnification, advancement and exculpation provisions of certain indemnification agreements by and among the Company and its directors and certain executive officers, as in effect on the date hereof shall survive the Merger and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Parties. The Articles of Association will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the directors, officers or employees of the Company as those contained in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, except to the extent prohibited by the Cayman Companies Law or any other applicable Law, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by Law.

(b) Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume and control the defense of any threatened or actual litigation, claim or proceeding relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 6.6 (each, a “Claim”) unless there is a conflict of interest between Parent and the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other (for the avoidance of doubt, conflict of interest shall be deemed to exist in the event of any threatened or actual litigation, claim or proceeding relating to the Transactions), but in any event, no such Claim shall be settled or compromised without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that none of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any such Claim for which indemnification has been sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Claim or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(c) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) for the benefit of each Indemnified Party covering each Indemnified Party by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided that if such insurance cannot be so maintained or obtained at such costs, Parent shall maintain or obtain as much of such insurance as can be so maintained or obtained at an annual premium amount not in excess of 300 percent of the current annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance (the “Maximum Premium”). The Company may prior to the Effective Time at its option purchase, for an amount not to exceed the aggregate Maximum Premium for six years, a six year “tail policy” on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the existing policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company.

SECTION 8.2 Termination by Either Parent or the Company. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time by action of the Board of Directors of either Parent or the Company if:

(a) the Merger shall not have been consummated by the date falling six months from the date of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.2(a) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Merger to have been consummated on or before the Termination Date was primarily due to the breach or failure of such party to perform in a material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(c) any Law or injunction having the effect set forth in Section 7.1(b) shall be in effect and shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) shall not be available to a party if the issuance of such final, non-appealable Law or injunction was primarily due to the breach or failure of such party to perform in a material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.3 Termination by the Company. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time by action of the Company Board if:

(a) the representations and warranties of Parent or Merger Sub shall not be true and correct or Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of their covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which failure to be true and correct, breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b) and (ii) cannot be cured by the Termination Date, or if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within 30 days following receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Company stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.3(a) and the basis for such termination (or, if earlier, the Termination Date); provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.3(a) if it is then in material breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder that would result in any condition to Closing set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) not being satisfied;

(b) if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) have been satisfied, (ii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed by notice to Parent that all conditions set forth in Section 7.3 have been satisfied or that it is willing to waive any unsatisfied conditions in Section 7.3 and (iii) the Merger shall not have been consummated within three business days after the delivery of such notice; or

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Merger pursuant to this Article VIII, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any party hereto (or of any of its Representatives); provided, however, that (i) this Section 8.5, Section 5.3(c), Section 5.4(d), Section 6.8 and Article IX and the Limited Guaranties (in each case, subject to the terms thereof) shall remain in full force and effect and survive termination of this Agreement, (ii) no such termination shall relieve any party hereto of any liability or damages resulting from (A) any willful breach of any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement prior to such termination or (B) any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement prior to such termination, and (iii) nothing shall relieve any party from liability for fraud.

(b) In the event that (i) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(a), (ii) (A) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made, proposed or communicated (and not withdrawn), after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement, (B) following the occurrence of an event described in the preceding clause (A), this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and (C) within 12 months of the termination of this Agreement, any definitive agreement in connection with an Acquisition Proposal by a third party is entered into or any Acquisition Proposal is consummated by the Company (whether or not the Acquisition Proposal was the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (A)), (iii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(b) or (iv) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(c), then the Company shall (x) pay Parent or its designee a termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) of $3,000,000 in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 8.5(b)(i), or $6,000,000 in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 8.5(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv) (and the applicable Termination Fee shall be paid in same-day funds (1) within two business days after such termination in the case of a termination referred to in Section 8.5(b)(i) or (iii), (2) on the earlier of the date an agreement is entered into with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or an Acquisition Proposal is consummated in the case of a termination referred to in Section 8.5(b) (ii), or (3) contemporaneously, and as a condition of such termination, in the case of a termination referred to in Section 8.5(b)(iv)) and (y) pay Parent in same-day funds, as promptly as possible (but in any event within two business days) following the delivery by Parent of an invoice therefor, all Expenses incurred by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates (other than the Company) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Equity Financing; it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the applicable Termination Fee on more than one occasion. In the event that Parent or its designee shall receive full payment of the Termination Fee and reimbursement of any applicable Expenses pursuant to this Section 8.5(b), the receipt of the Termination Fee together with such Expenses shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against any Company Related Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.5(b) shall limit the rights of Parent and Merger Sub under Section 9.8. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 9.8, in the event Parent or its designee shall receive payment from the Company of the Termination Fee and the Expenses referred to in this Section 8.5(b), the receipt of such Termination Fee and Expenses shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Related Parties against the Company Related Parties for any loss or damage suffered or incurred arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and upon payment of such amount(s), none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that it has no right of recovery against, and in no event shall any of the Parent Related Parties seek to recover any damages from or make any claim against, any Company Related Party (other than its rights against the Company under this Agreement).

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), then Parent shall (x) pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company or its designee a termination fee of $6,000,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) in same-day funds, within two business days after such termination and (y) pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company in same-day funds, as promptly as possible (but in any event within two business days) following the delivery by the Company of an invoice therefor, all Expenses incurred by the Company and its Affiliates (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any members of the Consortium) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; it being understood that in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion. In the event that the Company or its designee shall receive full payment of the Parent Termination Fee and the Expenses reimbursement payment pursuant to this Section 8.5(c), the receipt of the Parent Termination Fee together with such Expenses and Expenses under Section 5.4(d) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and any Company Related Party, and shall deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any other Person arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of the Company, any Company Related Party or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against any Parent Related Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Company and its designees to receive payment from Parent of the Parent Termination Fee and the Expenses referred to in this Section 8.5(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company Related Parties against the Parent Related Parties for any loss or damage suffered or incurred arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Subscription Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and upon payment of such amount(s), none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Subscription Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination hereof or thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination. The Company acknowledges and agrees that it has no right of recovery against, and in no event shall any of the Company Related Parties seek to recover any damages from or make any claim against, any Parent Related Party (other than its rights against Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement or against the Guarantors under their respective Limited Guaranties).

(d) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other parties would not have entered into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.5, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent or the Company, as the base may be, commences a suit which results in a judgment against the other party, with respect to Parent or Merger Sub, or parties, with respect to the Company for amounts set forth in this Section 8.5, such paying party shall pay the other party or parties, as applicable, its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit.

SECTION 8.6 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by action taken by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub at any time before or after approval of the Merger by the Required Company Vote but, after any such approval, no amendment shall be made which requires the approval of such shareholders under applicable Law without such approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the parties hereto.

SECTION 8.7 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, each party hereto (for these purposes, Parent and Merger Sub shall together be deemed one party and the Company shall be deemed the other party) may (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 herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of either party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of either party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.
