In consideration of the aforesaid extension, it was agreed by the parties to the First Amendment that the purchase price for the Sale Shares was increased from HK$45,000,000 to HK$45,405,000 and a further deposit of the sum of HK$1,170,000 in escrow was payable by the Buyer to the Sellers.

 

(G)The Buyer and VelaTel failed to timely make payment to close the transaction under the First Amendment. Upon the request of the Buyer and VelaTel, the parties entered into a Second Amendment.

 

(H)The Second Amendment dated 3 March 2013 which took effect on 1 March 2013 was entered into among, inter alios, (a) Listco; (b) the Sellers; (c) the Buyer; and (d) VelaTel. It was agreed by the parties to the Second Amendment that the total purchase price for the Sale Shares was further increased to HK$49,500,000 which comprised of (a) HK$4,646,862.55 held in escrow by the agreed escrow agent; (b) HK$7,362,500 paid as further down payment at closing of the SPA (as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment); and (c) HK$37,490,637.45 being a part of a promissory note in the amount of HK$38,990,637.45 issued by VelaTel.

The Stock Pledge Agreement was agreed by the parties to take effect as from 1 March 2013.

 

(K)Upon the non-payment of the HK$4,650,000 on or before 31 May 2013, the Sellers issued a default notice to the Buyer and VelaTel on 1 June 2013, and the Sellers eventually received the said sum of HK$4,650,000 before 28 June 2013.

(M)On 5 September 2013, Statutory Demands in respect of the Outstanding Amount due by VelaTel to the Sellers (the “Statutory Demands”) were duly served on VelaTel and its President, Mr. Colin Tay.

 

(N)On the same day, the Sellers delivered to the Buyer and VelaTel the Default Notice (as defined in the Stock Pledge Agreement) in respect of the Default.

 

(O)Up to the date of this Deed, both the Buyer and VelaTel still fail to pay to the Sellers the Outstanding Amount or any part thereof or at all.

 

(P)On 20 July 2013, VelaTel and the Buyer as claimants instituted arbitration proceedings in the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) intituled HKIAC/PA 13105 (the “Arbitration Proceedings”) against Listco and the Sellers in relation to alleged breaches by Listco and the Sellers of the SPA (as varied and amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment) and claimed in its Notice of Arbitration for, inter alia, specific performance of the SPA (as varied and amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment) and loss and damages allegedly suffered by VelaTel and the Buyer.

 

(Q)On 26 August 2013, Listco and the Sellers have submitted their Response to the Notice of Arbitration denying any alleged breaches on their part of the SPA (as varied and amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment) and any relief claimed by VelaTel and/or the Buyer.

 

(R)In consideration of the mutual undertakings, covenants and agreements hereinafter set out and without prejudice to the rights and remedies available to the Sellers under the SPA (as varied and amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment to the SPA), the Corporate Guaranty, the Stock Pledge Agreement and the Promissory Note, Listco, the Sellers, the Buyer and VelaTel have entered into this Deed to resolve the aforesaid matters and disputes subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein contained.
