It is contemplated that, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Parent and Rightmark Merger Sub Limited, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Mr. Guoshen Tu (solely for purposes of Section 6.15 of the Merger Agreement), Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving entity of such Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Each capitalized term used and not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

Holdco shall immediately prior to the Effective Time issue such equity securities of Holdco, if any, to such Rollover Holder in connection with such Rollover Holder’s contribution of the Rollover Contribution Shares to Parent.

3. Specific Performance.

Each of Parent and the Company shall have the right to specific performance of this Agreement without having to prove actual damages and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security or having to establish that monetary relief would not provide an adequate remedy.
4. No Modification; Entire Agreement. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision hereof shall be enforceable unless approved by Parent, the Rollover Holders and the Company in writing.
