| · | The Company, certain former NYM stockholders (including Mr. Deng and Ms. Deng), and certain other stockholders of the Company entered into a Voting Agreement to set forth their agreements and understandings with respect to how shares of the Common Stock held by them will be voted. The parties agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock as necessary to ensure that the size of the Board of Directors of the Company after the consummation of the Acquisition will be five members until two years after the closing of the Acquisition. The parties also agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock to ensure the election of one member of the Board of Directors of the Company designated by the former E-compass shareholders party to the agreement, who must initially be qualified as an independent director pursuant to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company may be listed, and four members designated by the former NYM stockholders, of which two designees must qualify as an independent director pursuant to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company may be listed. |

The shares held in escrow were removed from escrow one year after the closing of the Acquisition. |
| · | Mr. Deng entered into a lock-up agreement pursuant to which Mr. Deng agreed not to transfer the shares of Common Stock owned by him until one year after the closing of the Acquisition. |
