MAKE GOOD ESCROW AGREEMENT

This Make Good Escrow Agreement (the “Make Good Agreement”), dated effective as of November 5, 2010, is entered into by and among China SHESAYS Medical Cosmetology Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), Chief Securities Ltd., as agent (“Agent”), Techno Meg Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (the “Make Good Pledgor”), and Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”).

WHEREAS, each of the investors in the private offering of securities of the Company (the “Investors”) has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 5, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), evidencing their participation in the Company’s private offering (the “Offering”) of securities. As an inducement to the Investors to participate in the Offering and as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Make Good Pledgor agreed to place the Escrow Shares (as defined in Section 2 hereto) into escrow for the benefit of the Investors in the event the Company failed to satisfy certain After-Tax Net Income threshold.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Make Good Pledgor have agreed to establish an escrow on the terms and conditions set forth in this Make Good Agreement;

WHEREAS, Agent has agreed to act as agent for the Investors in connection with this Make Good Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent has agreed to act as escrow agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Make Good Agreement; and

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned them in the Purchase Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties and the terms and conditions hereof, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.

Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Make Good Pledgor and the Company hereby appoint Escrow Agent to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Make Good Agreement, and Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act in accordance with such terms and conditions.

 

 

2.

Establishment of Escrow. Within five Business Days following the closing of the Offering, the Make Good Pledgor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Escrow Agent its certificate evidencing 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Escrow Shares”). The Escrow Shares shall be pledged to secure the Company’s commitment to achieve the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI (as defined below).

3.

Representations of Make Good Pledgor. The Make Good Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Agent as follows:


(i) Upon any transfer of Escrow Shares to Investors hereunder, Investors will receive full right, title and authority to such shares as holders of Common Stock of the Company.

(ii) Performance of this Make Good Agreement and compliance with the provisions hereof will not violate any provision of any applicable law and will not conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon, any of the properties or assets of the Make Good Pledgor pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument binding upon the Make Good Pledgor, other than such breaches, defaults or liens which would not have a material adverse effect taken as a whole.

4.

Disbursement of Escrow Shares.

(a) The Make Good Pledgor agrees that if the After-Tax Net Income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, as filed with the Commission (the “2011 Annual Report”) is less than $6,400,000 (the “2011 Guaranteed ATNI”), the Company shall provide written instruction (with a copy to Agent) and direct the Escrow Agent to instruct the transfer agent of the Company to transfer to each Investor (in such Investor’s name), on a pro rata basis, for no additional consideration, the Escrow Shares.

The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on the calculations provided by the Company in releasing the Escrow Shares for disbursement, with no further responsibility to calculate or confirm amounts. If the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 specify that the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI shall have been achieved, no transfer of the Escrow Shares shall be required by this Section 4(a) and the Escrow Agent shall return all Escrow Shares deposited with the Escrow Agent to the Make Good Pledgor within 7 Business Days after the date on which the 2011 Annual Report is filed with the Commission; provided that Escrow Agent is given notice of the 2011 Annual Report’s filing and results. If the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 specify that the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI has not been achieved, subject to the timing of the transfer agent, transfers of Escrow Shares required under this Section 4(a) shall be made to Investors within 7 Business Days after the date on which the 2011 Annual Report is filed with the Commission; provided that Escrow Agent is given notice of the 2011 Annual Report’s filing and results

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the release of any of the Escrow Shares to the Investors or the Make Good Pledgor or any other party is deemed to be an expense or deduction from revenues/income of the Company for the applicable year, as required under GAAP, then such expense or deduction and any expense, charge or deduction relating thereto, shall be excluded for purposes of determining whether or not the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI has been achieved by the Company.

(c) The Make Good Pledgor’s obligation to transfer shares of Common Stock to Investors shall run only to the benefit of the Investors who hold Shares when the 2011 Guaranteed ATNI is calculated, and any release of the Escrow Shares to the Investors shall be distributed on a pro rata basis, based on the number of Shares then held by each such Investor, for no additional consideration.

2


(d) The Company and Make Good Pledgor covenant and agree to provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax identification numbers by furnishing appropriate forms W-9 or W-8 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request, including appropriate W-9 or W-8 forms for each Investor. The Company and Make Good Pledgor understand that if such tax reporting documentation is not provided and certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned on the investment of the Escrow Shares.

5.

Duration. This Make Good Agreement shall terminate upon the distribution of all the Escrow Shares. The Company agrees to promptly provide the Escrow Agent written notice of the filing with the Commission of any financial statements or reports referenced herein.

 

 

6.

Escrow Shares. If any Escrow Shares are deliverable to the Investors pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, (i) the Make Good Pledgor covenants and agrees to execute all such instruments of transfer (including stock powers and assignment documents) as are customarily executed to evidence and consummate the transfer of the Escrow Shares from the Make Good Pledgor to the Investors, to the extent not done so in accordance with Section 2, and (ii) following its receipt of the documents referenced in Section 6(i), the Company and Escrow Agent covenant and agree to cooperate with the transfer agent so that the transfer agent promptly reissues such Escrow Shares in the applicable Investor’s name and delivers the same as directed by such Investor. Until such time as (if at all) the Escrow Shares are required to be delivered pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, any dividends payable in respect of the Escrow Shares and all voting rights applicable to the Escrow Shares shall be retained by the Make Good Pledgor. Should the Escrow Agent receive dividends or voting materials, such items shall not be held by the Escrow Agent, but shall be passed immediately on to the Make Good Pledgor and shall not be invested or held for any time longer than is needed to effectively re-route such items to the Make Good Pledgor. In the event that the Escrow Agent receives a communication requiring the conversion of the Escrow Shares to cash or the exchange of the Escrow Shares for that of an acquiring company, the Escrow Agent shall solicit and follow the written instructions of the Make Good Pledgor; provided that the cash or exchanged shares are instructed to be redeposited into the Escrow Account. The Make Good Pledgor shall be responsible for all taxes resulting from any such conversion or exchange.

Prior to incurring any costs and/or expenses in connection with the foregoing sentence, Escrow Agent shall be required to provide written notice to the Company of such costs and/or expenses and the relevancy thereof and Escrow Agent shall not be permitted to incur any such costs and/or expenses which are not related to litigation prior to receiving written approval from the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
