The Articles of Incorporation of the Parent Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Company, provided, however, that the Articles of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada shall provide that the Articles of Incorporation shall be amended to change the name of the Parent Company to be Nova Lifestyle, Inc.

7.           Amendment. This Agreement may, to the extent permitted by law, be amended, supplemented or interpreted at any time by action taken by the Board of Directors of each of the parties.
