This letter agreement (this “Fifth Amendment”) sets forth our agreement with respect the further amendment of certain provisions of the Agreement and the waiver of the satisfaction of certain conditions to the respective obligations of the parties. Capitalized terms used in this Fifth Amendment without definitions specified herein have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
We hereby agree that, notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of the Agreement (including, without limitation, any inconsistent provisions of Section 1.03(b), Section 1.03(c), or Section 1.04 through Section 1.06), the remaining portion of the Purchase Price for the Ordinary Shares and the additional amounts referred to below shall be paid, and the remaining 6,739,932 Ordinary Shares subject to the Agreement shall be delivered, as follows:

Such payments shall be made to the following Sellers and in the following amounts:
| (a) to Shah Capital, in the amount of US$33,896,214; and | |
| (c) to the Lu Sellers, payments in the aggregate amount of US$6,543,378, of which Acquirer shall pay to each Lu Seller an amount equal to the sum of the First Tranche Payment and the Second Tranche Payment set forth for such Lu Seller in Schedule B to the Agreement. |
2. Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the remaining 6,739,932 Ordinary Shares (the “Closing”), and the delivery of the Ordinary Shares by Sellers and of the payments required by paragraph 1 by Acquirer shall take on place as soon as practicable as agreed among the Parties, but in no event later than October 31, 2016 (the “New Termination Date”). The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Date.” For the avoidance of doubt:
