| 2. | Mr. Mao has extensive experience in insurance agency and brokerage industry and has acted as the chairman of the board of Law Insurance Broker Co., Ltd. (“Taiwan DingLv”), one of the top insurance brokerage firms in Taiwan. Under the leadership of Mr. Mao, Taiwan DingLv has sustained a stable growth for the past decade and generated substantial shareholder value for its stockholders; | |
| 3. | The aggregate number of shares the Company shall have the authority to issue is 110,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 100,000,000 shares are Common Stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares are preferred stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

| 4. | In order to induce Mr. Mao to join the Company as the new Chief Executive Officer, the Company intends to issue 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Mr. Mao in replacement of 1,000,000 Common Stock previously held by Mr. Mao pursuant to a share reclassification and Mr. Mao agrees to accept such reclassification. |
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
| 1. | Reclassification | |
| (1) | 1,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by Mr. Mao (the “Reclassified Shares”), par value $0.00001 per share shall be reclassified into 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.00001 per share, on a share-for-share basis (the “Reclassification”). | |

Economic Interests. The Reclassification had no impact on the economic interest of holders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, including with regard to dividends and liquidation rights.
Capitalization. The Reclassification has no impact on the total number of authorized capital stock of the Company, which prior to the Reclassification was, and remains, 110,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shares are Common Stock, $0.00001 par value per share and 10,000,000 shares are preferred stock, $0.00001 par value per share. Immediately subsequent to the Reclassification, the issued and outstanding Common Stock has decreased to 19,100503 shares while the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock is 1,000,000 shares.
