the effectiveness of the Written Consent discussed below) for an aggregate purchase price of $38,169,984, or $16.00 per share of Preferred Stock (reflecting an as converted price of $8.00 per

and the Rights Agreement (collectively, the Stockholder Proposal). The Written Consent has been obtained and will not be effective until twenty days following the distribution of an information statement to the Issuers
stockholders. The Issuer is also obligated to cause the Founding Stockholders to enter into a Stock Pledge Agreement (the Stock Pledge Agreement) relating to the pledge of 4,180,545 shares of Common Stock collectively owned by the
Founding Stockholders consistent with terms specified in the Purchase Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement, the effect of which, among other things, will confer upon the Purchaser either the record ownership or the voting power associated with

Shareholders
Agreement
The Shareholders Agreement entered into by the Founding Stockholders, the Issuer and Weichai requires, inter alia, the Founding Stockholders
to refrain from revoking or seeking to revoke the Written Consent and to reject any other transaction, proposal, agreement or action which is made in opposition to the Stockholder Proposal or in competition or inconsistent with the Stockholder
Proposal. The Shareholders Agreement also requires the Founding Stockholders to pledge collectively 4,180,545 shares of Common Stock as required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and/or to grant to Weichai a proxy for shares of their Common Stock
such that Weichai has the right to vote a number of shares of Common Stock held by the Founding Stockholders equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which Weichais shares of Preferred Stock would otherwise be convertible, such
pledge and/or proxy to become effective if the Written Consent has not become effective within one year following the closing under the Purchase Agreement. Such pledge and/or proxy shall terminate upon the conversion of Weichais shares of
Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The Shareholders Agreement, commencing upon the closing, also prohibits the Founding Stockholders from voting on certain prescribed fundamental corporate matters unless previously agreed in writing by the Purchaser
and obligates the Founding Stockholders to not vote to remove any Weichai Directors, nor vote on any action to reduce or increase the size of the Board and to vote in favor of the Weichai Directors at any annual or special meeting of stockholders or
in connection with any action by written consent in lieu of any such meeting. The Shareholders Agreement requires the Company to maintain a Nominating and Governance Committee comprised of a majority of independent directors. Gary Winemaster has
committed to facilitate a reconstitution of the Board to meet the Companys requirements. Consistent with this commitment, the Shareholders Agreement contemplates that Mr. Winemaster will end his tenure with the Board on or before
April 6, 2017 as provided therein. The Shareholders Agreement provides that the Nominating Committee shall have the exclusive authority to nominate non-Weichai Directors for election by the stockholders of the Company, but does not otherwise
obligate the Purchaser or the Founding Stockholders to vote in favor of or against the election of any such nominees. The Shareholders Agreement further provides that unless prohibited by applicable laws or stock exchange requirements, Weichai shall
have the right to nominate all of the Weichai Directors as
non-independent
directors.
The Shareholders Agreement
contains a right of first refusal which obligates the Founding Stockholders prior to the transfer of any shares of Common Stock (or other equity securities of the Company), other than to certain prescribed permitted transferees and certain excepted
transfers, to first offer to sell such securities to Weichai in accordance with the procedures set forth in the agreement. This description of the Shareholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the
Shareholders Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 6 and incorporated herein by reference.
Except as described above, the Reporting Person has
no plan or proposal to: (i) acquire or dispose of securities of the Issuer, except that the Reporting Persons may, from time to time and at any time, acquire additional equity, debt, notes, instruments or other securities (collectively,
Securities) of the Issuer in the open market or otherwise and he reserves the right to dispose of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise, at any time and from time to time, and to engage in any hedging or similar
transactions with respect to the Securities; (ii) have the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries be involved in any extraordinary corporate transaction such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation or to engage in a sale or transfer of a material
