Abax HK’s commitment under the Financing Commitment Letter will terminate on the earliest of (a) April 15, 2013, if the Issuer’s Common Stock has not resumed trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market by 4 p.m. (New York City time) on such date; (b) April 30, 2013; (c) the date that definitive documents with respect to the Mezzanine Debt Financing become effective; and (d) the date the acquisition agreement for the Transaction is terminated.
