7.1. Make Up Shares .
If the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year
commencing on June 1, 2009 and ending on May 31, 2010 as reported in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year (the “ 2010
Annual Report ”) shows that the Company’s income: (i) before income
tax, (ii) excluding income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interest,
and (iii) excluding costs associated with any facility acquisitions
undertaken by the Company (“ SOKO’s Income ”), is less than
$10,450,000 (the “ Income Target ”), the Investors shall be entitled
to receive (pro rata between the Investors in accordance with their
respective Purchase Prices) an additional number of shares of Common
Stock up to an aggregate of 60% of the Shares issued pursuant to Section
2, or 1,875,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate (the “ Make Up
Shares ”), according to the following formula:
(a) If
SOKO’s Income equals or exceeds the Income Target, no Make Up Shares
will be issued.
(b) If SOKO’s Income is less than the Income
Target, then within thirty (30) days following the filing with the SEC
of the 2010 Annual Report, the Company shall issue to the Investors an
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of the
number of the Make Up Shares multiplied by X, where X is 1.00 minus the
percentage of the Income Target actually achieved, which shares will be
divided pro rata among the Investors in accordance with their respective
Purchase Prices as set forth on Schedule A hereto.
>>It
looks like SOKO is expecting at least $10,450,000 in annual income
before tax for the fiscal year ending this month. If SOKO does not meet
that target, the new investors get additional shares. SOKO should not
have any problem meeting that target as income before tax for 9 months
ending Feb 28 was already 8.2 million. 7.3.
Board Observer . For so long as IDG-Accel China Growth Fund II L.P.
and IDG-Accel China Investors II L.P. and their Affiliates
collectively continue to hold two and one half percent (2.5%) or
more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, a designee of such
Investors (who shall be satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable
discretion) (the “ Observer ”) shall have the right to attend and
participate in meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors. The
Observer shall not be appointed as a member of the Company’s Board of
Directors, shall have no vote as a director of the Company and shall
have no approval rights with respect to any action of the Company.
>>New investor IDG gets to appoint a person to
participate in SOKO board meetings. The observer won't get to vote, but
should bring valuable insight as IDG is a sophisticated investor.
7.8. Listing of Shares. The Company agrees that: (i) if the
Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any Trading Market
other than the OTC Bulletin Board, it will include in such application
the Shares and the Make Up Shares, and will take such other action as is
necessary or desirable to cause the Shares and the Make Up Shares to be
listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible, and (ii)
it will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and
trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all
material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
>>This
might be a standard provision, but it shows that uplisting is at least
somewhere on the radar screen. Item 8.01 Other
Events.
On April 16, 2010, the Company and the 2008 Private
Placement Investors entered into a Settlement Agreement, pursuant to
which the parties: (i) settled a disagreement regarding a US$200,000
penalty payment incurred as a result of the Company’s failure to effect a
registration statement on Form S-1 on time pursuant to a prior
Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 7, 2008, between them; and
(ii) terminated an escrow agreement, dated as of April 7, 2008, between
the Company and 2008 Private Placement Investors (the “ 2008 Escrow
Agreement ”) and agreed to release to members of the Company’s
management an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock which were
deposited with the escrow agent under the 2008 Escrow Agreement to
secure the Company’s obligation to the 2008 Private Placement Investors
to achieve certain financial performance thresholds which were met. In
satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Settlement
Agreement, the Company issued 62,222 shares of Common Stock to Guerrilla
Partners, L.P., 17,778 shares of Common Stock to Hua-Mei 21st Century
Partners, LP and 8,889 shares of Common Stock to James J. Fuld, Jr. IRA.
>>I hadn't heard of this before, and I'm not too
pleased with it. It basically seems like SOKO missed a deadline,
resulting in $200k worth of dilution. IDG, with their observer, will
probably make sure something stupid like this doesn't happen again.

Founder Lock-Up . The Founder and the Company shall have duly
executed and delivered the Lock-Up and such Lock-Up shall remain in full
force and effect.
3. Lockup . From and after the date of
this Agreement and through and including the twelve (12) month
anniversary of the Closing Date under the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “
Lockup Period ”), the Holder irrevocably agrees it will not offer,
pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or
warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or
indirectly, or announce the offering of, any of the Holder’s Shares
(including any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or
representing the rights to receive, the Holder’s Shares). In
furtherance thereof, the Company will (x) place a stop order on all of
the Holder’s Shares, (y) notify its transfer agent in writing of the
stop order and the restrictions on the Holder’s Shares under this
Agreement and direct the transfer agent not to process any attempts by
the Holder to resell or transfer any of the Holder’s Shares in violation
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may
sell or otherwise transfer Holder’s Shares: (i) as a bona fide gift or
gifts or pledge or pledges, provided that the Holder provides prior
written notice of such gift or gifts or pledge to the Company and the
Investors and the donee or donees or pledgee or pledgees (as the case
may be) thereof agree to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein;
provided, that any such gifts or pledges shall not, in the aggregate
(adding up all such gifts and pledges), exceed eight percent (8%) of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock at the time of any such gift or
pledge; and (ii) on death by will or intestacy to the undersigned’s
immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiaries of which are
exclusively the undersigned and a member or members of the undersigned’s
immediate family, provided that the transferee thereof agrees to be
bound by the restrictions set forth herein.
>>The
lockup agreement and provisions may be the most interesting part. The
CEO and Chairman Tong Liu is not able to sell his shares for 1 year. As
I recall, he owns over 50% of the company. No insider selling for 1
year! If he is that confident in his company, I sure am too! I am
buying more.
