PURPOSE OF THE TERM SHEET   Subject to the terms and conditions as stated herein, the Buyer intends to acquire the Seller’s 100% of shares in the Target for either (i) US$83,000,000.00 (the “Proposed Consideration”); or (ii) such reduced amount if the number of valuation conducted by Valuescope (defined below) is lower than the Proposed Consideration (subject to the valuation number, such final amount shall be referred to as the “Consideration”), from the Seller (the “Proposed Acquisition”).
