LIMITED GUARANTY

 

Limited Guaranty, dated as of July 24, 2012 (this “Limited Guaranty”), by Mr. Jianquan Li, Hong Kong Passport No: P314533(A) (the “Guarantor”), in favor of Winner Medical Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Guaranteed Party”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

 

1.     LIMITED GUARANTY. (a) To induce the Guaranteed Party to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date of this Limited Guaranty (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Winner Holding Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Parent”), Winner Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”) and the Guaranteed Party, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Guaranteed Party, with the Guaranteed Party surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, the Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Guaranteed Party, as the primary obligor and not merely as surety, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein, the due and punctual payment, performance and discharge of an amount equal to the entire payment obligations of Parent to the Guaranteed Party under Section 8.3(c) of the Merger Agreement as and when due (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), provided that in no event shall the Guarantor’s aggregate liability under this Limited Guaranty exceed an aggregate amount equal to (x) the Guaranteed Obligations minus (y) any Guaranteed Obligations actually paid by Parent or Merger Sub to the Guaranteed Party (which, for the sake of clarity, do not include reimbursement of expenses, if applicable, pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof). This Limited Guaranty may be enforced for the payment of money only. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds. The Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder free and clear of any deduction, offset, defense, claim or counterclaim of any kind, except as expressly provided in this Limited Guaranty. The Guarantor acknowledges that the Guaranteed Party entered into the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in reliance on this Limited Guaranty.

 

(b)     If Parent fails to fully and timely discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations when due, then all of the Guarantor’s liabilities and obligations to the Guaranteed Party hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall become immediately due and payable and the Guarantor hereby agrees to promptly fully perform and discharge, or to cause to be promptly fully performed or discharged, any such Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Guarantor acknowledges that the Guaranteed Party may, in its sole discretion, bring and prosecute a separate action or actions against the Guarantor for the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether any action is brought against Parent or Merger Sub, or whether Parent or Merger Sub is joined in any action or actions.

 

(c)     The Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Guaranteed Party in connection with the enforcement of its rights hereunder if (i) the Guarantor asserts in any arbitration, litigation or other proceeding that this Limited Guaranty is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms and the Guaranteed Party prevails in such arbitration, litigation or other proceeding or (ii) the Guarantor fails or refuses to make any payment to the Guaranteed Party hereunder when due and payable and it is judicially determined that the Guarantor is required to make such payment hereunder.

(d)     The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Limited Guaranty were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached and further agree that the Guaranteed Party shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief against the Guarantor to prevent breaches of this Limited Guaranty and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity, and shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. The Guarantor further agrees not to oppose the granting of any such injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (x) the Guaranteed Party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity (collectively, the “Prohibited Defense”).

 

2.     NATURE OF GUARANTY. The Guaranteed Party shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to any Guaranteed Obligations in the event that Parent or Merger Sub becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Guaranteed Party to so file shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. The Guarantor’s liability hereunder is absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing irrespective of any modification, amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Merger Agreement that may be agreed to by Parent or Merger Sub. In the event that any payment to the Guaranteed Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations as if such payment had not been made. This Limited Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and not of collection and the Guaranteed Party shall not be required to proceed against Parent or Merger Sub first before proceeding against the Guarantor hereunder.

3.     CHANGES IN GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS, CERTAIN WAIVERS. The Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Party may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, extend the time of performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Parent, Merger Sub or with any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Guaranteed Party and Parent, Merger Sub or such other Person without in any way impairing or affecting the Guarantor’s obligations under this Limited Guaranty or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Limited Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees that his obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the failure or delay of the Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms of the Merger Agreement or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed by Parent, Merger Sub and the Guaranteed Party in connection with any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (d) the existence of any claim, set-off, judgment or other right which the Guarantor may have at any time against Parent, Merger Sub or the Guaranteed Party or any of their respective Affiliates, whether in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise; (e) the adequacy of any other means the Guaranteed Party may have of obtaining payment related to the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) the value, genuiness, validity, legality or enforceability of the Merger Agreement (other than by reason of fraud by the Company); (g) the addition, substitution, any legal or equitable discharge or release (in the case of a discharge or release, other than a discharge or release of the Parent with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations as a result of payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with their terms or as a result of defenses to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations that would be available to Parent under the Merger Agreement) of the Guarantor or any Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (h) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; or (i)any other act or omission that may in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of or to the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than a discharge of the Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations as a result of payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with their terms, a discharge of the Parent with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations under the Merger Agreement, or as a result of defenses to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations that would be available to Parent under the Merger Agreement). To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any Law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Guaranteed Party. The Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Limited Guaranty and of the Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of the incurrence of any Guaranteed Obligations and all other notices of any kind (except for notices to be provided to Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to the Merger Agreement or notices expressly provided pursuant to this Limited Guaranty), all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Law or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and all suretyship defenses generally (other than a breach by the Guaranteed Party of this Limited Guaranty). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Limited Guaranty or otherwise, the Guaranteed Party hereby agrees that other than any discharge or release arising from the bankruptcy or insolvency of Parent or Merger Sub and other defenses expressly waived hereby: (i) to the extent Parent or Merger Sub is relieved of any of the Guaranteed Obligations under the Merger Agreement, the Guarantor shall be similarly relieved of his corresponding payment obligations under this Limited Guaranty; and (ii) the Guarantor shall have all defenses to the payment of his obligations under this Limited Guaranty that would be available to Parent and/or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, as well as any defenses in respect of any fraud or willful misconduct of the Guaranteed Party hereunder or any breach by the Guaranteed Party of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

The Guarantor acknowledges that he will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Limited Guaranty are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

 

4.     NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. No failure on the part of the Guaranteed Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder or under the Merger Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Guaranteed Party of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Guaranteed Party or allowed it by Law or other contracts shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Guaranteed Party at any time or from time to time subject to the terms and provisions hereof. The Guaranteed Party shall not have any obligation to proceed at any time or in any manner against, or exhaust any or all of the Guaranteed Party’s rights against Parent or Merger Sub or any other Person now or hereafter liable for any Guaranteed Obligations or interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement prior to proceeding against the Guarantor hereunder, and the failure by the Guaranteed Party to pursue rights or remedies against Parent or Merger Sub shall not relieve the Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Guaranteed Party.

11.     COUNTERPARTS. This Limited Guaranty shall not be effective until it has been executed and delivered by both parties hereto.

12.     SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Limited Guaranty shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Limited Guaranty or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance is determined to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party.

14.     NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Limited Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing express or implied in this Limited Guaranty is intended to, or shall, confer upon any other Person any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce or cause the Guaranteed Party to enforce, the obligations set forth herein; except that as a material aspect of this Limited Guaranty the parties intend that all Recourse Parties other than the Guarantor and all Non-Recourse Parties shall be, and such Recourse Parties and Non-Recourse Parties are, intended third party beneficiaries of this Limited Guaranty who may rely on and enforce the provisions of this Limited Guaranty that bar the liability, or otherwise protect the interests, of such Recourse Parties and Non-Recourse Parties.
