NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS: As of the Modification Effective Date, Borrower is directly indebted to PFG for the Obligations pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents (as defined below) in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 (such amount, for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of the sum of US$2,083,333.37 owed by Borrower to Partners for Growth IV, L.P.).

3. DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES IN TERMS. As from the Modification Effective Date:

3.1 New Schedule 2. The Loan Agreement is amended to incorporate a new “Schedule 2” incorporating the terms of the new Loan (the “Schedule 2 Loan”) to be made under this Modification, such Schedule 2 in the form set forth in Exhibit A to this Modification.

3.2 References to “Schedule”. References to the term “Schedule” in the Loan Agreement shall be construed to mean each or both of the Schedules as the context permits and references to the “Schedule 1 Loan” shall mean the Loan made on the original Loan Agreement Effective Date and to the “Schedule 2 Loan” shall mean the additional Loan made pursuant to this Modification.

3.3 Restated Compliance Certificate. The Compliance Certificate is amended and restated in the form appended as Exhibit B hereto.

3.4 Negative Covenant. Until PFG shall have otherwise expressly approved in writing (which shall be deemed to include any amendment and restatement of the Loan Agreement after the Modification Effective Date), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.6 of the Loan Agreement, no Obligor shall transfer any Collateral or other assets, make any Permitted Investments in or incur any Permitted Indebtedness to Borrower’s New Subsidiary, Borqs Technologies (HK) Limited, or otherwise cause or permit it to hold other than nominal assets sufficient to maintain its corporate existence.

The waiver of Specified Defaults set forth in this Modification shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed (a) to be a forbearance, waiver or modification of any other term or condition of the Loan Agreement or of any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or to prejudice any right or remedy which PFG may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Loan Agreement, the Existing Loan Documents or any instrument or agreement referred to therein; (b) to be a consent to any future amendment or modification, forbearance or waiver to any instrument or agreement the execution and delivery of which is consented to hereby, or to any waiver of any of the provisions thereof; or (c) to limit or impair PFG’s right to demand strict performance of all terms and covenants as of any date, subject to this Modification.

Exhibit A – Schedule 2

Partners For Growth

Schedule 2 to

Loan and Security Agreement

Borrower: BORQS Hong Kong Limited, a private company limited by shares under Hong Kong law, registered with the Companies Registry under number 1151010

Address: Office B, 21/F, Legend Tower, 7 Xxxxx Xxx Street, Xxxx Xxxx, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Effective Date:	April 30, 2018
Modification Effective Date:	December 17, 2018

This Schedule 2 forms an integral part of the Loan and Security Agreement between PARTNERS FOR GROWTH V, L.P. and the above-referenced Borrower dated the date specified above as the “Modification Effective Date”).

1. LOAN (Section 1.1):

a)	The Schedule 2 Loan:	The Loan shall consist of a convertible term loan in the principal amount of $1,000,000 as set forth herein and as detailed in convertible promissory note appended hereto (the “Note”), to be advanced to Borrower upon the later to occur of (x) one (1) Business Day following the Modification Effective Date and (y) two (2) Business Days following the Business Day during which the conditions set forth in Section 9 of this Schedule 2 have been satisfied, waived by PFG or deferred as conditions subsequent by PFG, each in its sole discretion.
(b)	Repayment:	Subject to PFG’s right to convert the Note into the ordinary shares of Group Parent at any time the Note is outstanding and unpaid, Borrower shall pay interest only on Schedule 2 Loan principal until the Schedule 2 Loan Maturity Date set forth in Section 4 of this Schedule 2, on which date the entire unpaid principal balance of the Schedule 2 Loan plus any and all accrued and unpaid interest and other monetary Obligations then owing shall be paid. Prepaid Schedule 2 principal may not be reborrowed.
(c)	Conversion:	At any time while the Schedule 2 Loan is outstanding, upon notice only, PFG may elect to convert the Schedule 2
		Loan (in whole only, unless Borrower has prepaid the Schedule 2 Loan in part and, in such case, the remaining balance) into the ordinary shares of Group Parent, as set forth in the Note.
(d)	Prepayment:	Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole or in part at any time without prepayment fee or penalty of any kind; provided, however, prepayment of the Note shall be subject to the concurrent issuance of a warrant to purchase Group Parent’s ordinary shares reflecting the conversion value (in ordinary shares) that equates to the principal prepaid. For example only, if the Note were convertible into 1,000 Group Parent ordinary shares and $500,000 in Schedule 2 Loan principal is prepaid, then such prepayment would be subject to the concurrent issuance of a warrant to acquire 500 Group Parent ordinary shares.

2. Interest.

Interest Rate (Section 1.2):

The Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 12.00%, fixed.

Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and a year of twelve months of 30 days each but paid for the actual number of days elapsed during each month or other accrual period. Accrued interest for each month shall be payable monthly, on the first day of each month for interest accrued during the prior month.

3. Fees (Section 1.3):

Commitment Fee: $15,000, payable promptly upon PFG invoice following the Modification Effective Date.

		“Revenue(s)” means revenues required to be classified as such under U.S. GAAP.
	Future Periods:	For future periods not covered by the above requirements, the thresholds shall be set by PFG in consultation with Borrower based on its then-current Plan, but in no event (for each measurement period) less than the immediately prior measurement period. For instance, the minimum EBITDA threshold for January 2019 would be as set, but in no event less than $32,500,000, and for March 2019 (for Revenues) would be as set but in no event less than $2,000,000.

(f) Annual consolidated and consolidating Financial Statements, as soon as available, and in any event within 120 days following the end of Borrower's fiscal year, certified by, and with an opinion containing no material qualifications of, independent certified public accountants acceptable to PFG. If Borrower is required to file and is current in its filings with a securities regulatory agency and the same information is generally available to the public within said period through such agency (such as, through XXXXX with respect to US public companies), this requirement will be deemed satisfied.

(g) Notification of any changes in the executive management (including directors) of any Group Members, promptly upon such change(s).

(b) Collateral Accounts. To the fullest extent available in the jurisdictions in which Borrower holds its Collateral Accounts, concurrently, Borrower shall cause the banks and other institutions where its Collateral Accounts are maintained to enter into Control Agreements with PFG, in form and substance legally sufficient and otherwise satisfactory to PFG in its good faith business judgment and sufficient to perfect PFG’s security interest in said Collateral Accounts, subject to the security interest of the Senior Lender, provided that no Control Agreement shall be required in respect of any Collateral Account that does not at any time have a value in excess of $25,000.

(c) Subordination of Inside Debt. All present and future indebtedness of Borrower to its officers, directors and shareholders (“Inside Debt”) shall, at all times, be subordinated to the Lien of PFG in respect of and prior payment of Obligations. Borrower represents and warrants that there is no Inside Debt presently outstanding, except as set forth in Exhibit A. Prior to incurring any Inside Debt in the future, Borrower shall cause the person to whom such Inside Debt will be owed to execute and deliver to PFG a subordination agreement on PFG’s standard form.

(d) Adjustment for Extraordinary Events. In the event that Borrower engages in a corporate transaction or other restructure that would bear in any non-trivial way on any of the financial covenant thresholds set forth in Section 5 of this Schedule 2, such as an acquisition that accretes to EBITDA or Revenue or a change in fiscal year or other periods, then PFG shall be entitled to reset the financial covenant thresholds to reasonably adjust for the effect of such corporate or other restructure transactions.

(e) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Schedule 2 Loan shall be used for general working capital purposes.

9. CONDITIONS

In addition to any other conditions to the Schedule 2 Loan set out in this Agreement (the conditions to the Schedule 1 Loan being acknowledged by PFG to have been satisfied or waived on or after the Effective Date), PFG will not make the Schedule 2 Loan until PFG shall have received from Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to PFG, such documents, and completion of such other matters, as PFG may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, including that there shall be no discovery of any facts or circumstances which would, as determined by PFG in its good faith business judgment, materially negatively affect or be reasonably expected to materially negatively affect the collectability of the Obligations, PFG’s security interest in Borrower’s Collateral or the value thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower agrees to deliver to PFG each item required to be delivered to PFG under this Agreement as a condition precedent to the Schedule 2 Loan. Borrower expressly agrees that the making of the Schedule 2 Loan made prior to the receipt by PFG of any such item shall not constitute a waiver by PFG of Borrower’s obligation to deliver such item unless so waived in a separate writing, and the making of the Schedule 2 Loan in the absence of a required item shall be in PFG’s sole discretion.
