NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.The Recitals are hereby amended by deleting the second and third paragraphs in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

 

“WHEREAS, the Investors have agreed to purchase securities of the Company under the Offering (all securities to be purchased hereunder, including the Purchased ADSs, Warrants, Warrant ADSs, Origination ADSs, Reset ADSs and True-Up ADSs, being referred to herein as, “Securities”), subject to the terms and conditions hereof.”

3.Section 1.a.iii. is hereby deleted in its entirety.

 

4.Section 2 is hereby amended by (i) deleting in its entirety the second paragraph, and (ii) adding the following immediately after the first sentence in first paragraph:

 

“In addition, upon the Second Closing, the Company shall issue to each of the Investors additional Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 666,667 Warrants at an exercise price of $3.00 per ADS.”

 

5.Section 3 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

3. ORIGINATION FEE. The Company agrees to issue to the Investors, pro rata in proportion to the amount of Purchased ADSs purchased by such Investor at the applicable closing, an additional 150,000 ADSs as origination fee (the “Origination ADSs”) payable as follows:

For the purpose of illustration, if the True-up Price is $2.50, the Company will issue an additional 200,000 ADSs, calculated as $3.00 less $2.50, multiplied by 1,000,000 ADSs (the number of ADSs to be purchased upon the at the First Closing and Second Closing), and divided by $2.50. In the event the number of True-Up ADSs is insufficient to cover the amount for which such ADSs are intended, the True-Up ADSs will be issued to the Investors pro rata according to the portion of Purchased ADSs such Investor is purchasing.”
