AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Cancellation of the Debt; Issuance of the Shares. As of the date hereof or as soon as practicable after the date hereof (the “Closing Date”), and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Debt shall be cancelled, and the Company shall issue an aggregate of 80,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Shares”) to the Creditor.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Creditor. The Creditor represents and warrants to the Company that as of the Closing Date:

(a) Qualification, Authorization and Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Creditor, and when delivered by the Creditor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Creditor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(b) No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement does not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any law or governmental order applicable to the Creditor; or (ii) conflict with, result in any breach of, constitute a default (or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, require any consent under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration, suspension, revocation or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any encumbrance on any of the assets or properties of the Creditor pursuant to, any contract to which the Creditor is a party or by which any of such assets or properties is bound or affected.

(c) Governmental Consents and Approvals. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by the Creditor does not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization, or other order of, action by, filing with, or notification to, any governmental authority.

(d) Acquisition Entirely for Own Account. The Creditor is acquiring the Shares for the Creditor’s own account for investment purposes only, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution of the Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Creditor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice; however, the Creditor has a right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by the Creditor to hold the Shares for any period of time.

(e) Investor Status. The Creditor is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered. The Creditor has such experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares. The Creditor acknowledges that an investment in the Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. At the time the Creditor was offered the Shares, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

(f) Access to Information. The Creditor has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

(g) Independent Investment Decision. The Creditor has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to acquire the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and the Creditor confirms that it has not relied on the advice of the Company or its respective legal counsel in making such decision. The Creditor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Creditor in connection with the acquisition of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Creditor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its acquisition of the Shares.

(h) Restricted Securities. The Creditor understands and acknowledges that:

i. the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws and will bear a customary restrictive legend inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances;

ii. the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and are being offered and sold in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities laws, and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Creditor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Creditor contained in this Agreement in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Creditor to acquire the Shares; and

iii. the Shares must be held indefinitely unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from registration is available.

(j) No Registration Rights. The Creditor further understands that there are no registration rights associated with the Shares being acquired pursuant to this Agreement.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Creditor that as of the Closing Date:

(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents as in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect.
