1. | | Definitions |
|

|
2. | | General Principles |
As the general principles for amending the Frame Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:
2.1 | | Upon signing the Agreement, the Nominee shall be no longer a party to the Framework Agreement
and its rights and obligations under the Framework Agreement (as amended herein), Equity
Transfer Agreement C and WFOE’s Capital Increase Legal Documents shall be succeeded by Xxxxxxx
Xxx. The Nominee shall no longer undertake any relevant obligation under the aforementioned
legal documents. |
|
2.2 | | As from the date of the Agreement, WFOE shall become a signatory of the Framework Agreement
and shall be entitled to the rights under the Framework Agreement (as amended herein) and
undertake the relevant obligations. |
|
2.3 | | The legal matter for PAMC’s Capital Increase specified in the Framework Agreement is amended

Agreement, PAMC shall no longer undertake any investment obligation to contribute
