WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.8 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 5, 2010, between the Company and the Investors (the “SPA”), each Investor duly appointed the Investor Representative as such Investor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to, among other matters, waive any terms and conditions of the Notes and to be such Investor’s exclusive representative with respect to any matter, suit, claim, action or proceeding arising with respect to any transaction contemplated by the Notes and the Warrants (the “Power of Attorney”);

 

WHEREAS, on December 31, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the Notes with Euro Pacific as representative of the Investors (the “First Amendment”) which, among other things, extended the maturity date of the Notes from January 5, 2012 to April 5, 2012;

 

WHEREAS, on or about May 8, 2012, the Company established an escrow account in China (the “Escrow Account”) with Rural Credit Cooperative of Binhai, Laishan District, Yantai City and deposited into such Escrow Account an amount equal to 90% of the aggregate Principal due on the Notes (approximately US$9.4 million), denominated in Renminbi;

 

WHEREAS, on or about May 14, 2012, the Company paid the Investors in an aggregate amount equal to $314,000, or 3% of the aggregate Principal due on the Notes; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and pursuant to the applicable provisions of the SPA and the Notes, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.            Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Notes.

 

2.            Amendments. The Investor Representative and the Company hereby amend the Notes as follows:

 

(a)          The definition of “Maturity Date” contained in the Notes, as amended, is hereby amended to extend such Maturity Date from April 5, 2012 (two years and three months following the closing of the Minimum Amount) until October 5, 2012 (the period from April 5, 2012 to October 5, 2012 being referred to herein as the “Extended Period”), provided, however, in the event that payments in an aggregate amount equal to $ 731,000, or 7% of the aggregate Principal due on the Notes, is not distributed to and received by Noteholders by June 30, 2012, the Extended Period immediately expire and all remaining Principal and accrued interest on the Notes shall be due and payable.

 

(b)          During the Extended Period, Interest shall accrue on the unpaid Principal amount of the Notes at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (or 6% for the Extended Period).

 

(c)          In the event that all Principal and Interest on the Notes is repaid in full prior to the conclusion of the Extended Period, Interest shall accrue on a pro rated basis through the date of repayment and not for the entire Extended Period.

 

(d)          During the Extended Period, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to convert the funds in the Escrow Account into US Dollars in order that payments of Principal can be made. Under the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Company will have no right to withdraw, dispose of or use the funds contained therein except for conversion into US Dollars for the purpose of repayment of the Notes; provided, however, that the Company may, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Escrow Account to the extent that such withdrawals are in amounts equal to decreases in the outstanding Principal amount of the Notes due to either payments made by the Company from funds other than those in the Escrow Account or conversion of Notes by Investors.

 

3.            Ratification.  Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Notes are hereby confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect without impairment or modification.

 

4.            Power of Attorney.  The Investor Representative represents and warrants that it has not received any notice regarding, and is not otherwise aware that any Investor has revoked or modified, or sought or desires to revoke or modify, the Power of Attorney with respect to such Investor or any Investor.

 

5.            Conflict.  In the event of any conflict between any Note and this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall govern.
