Purchase Price = US$ 28,042,200 ; and

Unutilized Portion of the Loan = amount of Loan drawn down but not used by the Borrower + amount of Loan not already drawn down.

Market Value in this Section 6.7(c) means, for any date, the average closing price or fair value (if applicable) of the ADSs (or, in the case of Ordinary Shares, such price as converted from ADSs) during any consecutive five (5) trading days immediately preceding that date.”.
