WHEREAS,
1.   The Buyer and the Seller have previously entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 21, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

3.   Because the Buyer does not have operations in China as of the Closing, the Buyer is unable to acquire legally the China Assets from Seller at the Closing.
 
4.   The Buyer and the Seller desire to confirm their understanding and to amend the Purchase Agreement as applicable to provide (i) that the purchase and sale of the China Assets shall occur following the Closing Date, and (ii) that the Cash Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of purchase price for the China Assets agreed upon by the Buyer and the Seller, all as provided in this Amendment.
