Re: Amendment to January 13, 2004 Contract
Dear Xx. Xxxx:
Reference is made to that certain contract, dated January 13, 2004 (the
"January 13 Contract") between Minghua Group International Holdings Limited
("Minghua") and China Cardinal Limited ("China Cardinal").
Pursuant to the January 13 Contract, China Cardinal agreed to purchase
16,483,514 shares of Minghua's Common Stock for an aggregate price of
$2,307,692. China Cardinal funded US$662,652 of the purchase price on January
18, 2004 and received 4,733,229 shares of Minghua's Common Stock. China Cardinal
was then required to fund the remaining US$1,640,040 and receive 11,750,185
shares of Minghua Common Stock on March 31, 2004 (the "March Payment"). To date,
China Cardinal has not yet made the March Payment.
Without waiving any potential claims that either party may have against
the other for breach of the January 13 Contract, the parties now desire to amend
the January 13 Contract to provide for an extension of the time within which
China Cardinal is required to make the March Payment. Accordingly, Xxxxxxx and
Xxxxx Xxxx, intending to be bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Amendment to March Payment Date. The January 13 Contract is hereby
amended to extend the due date for the March Payment from March 31, 2004 to May
31, 2004.
2. Contracts Remain in Full Force and Effect. Except as modified by this
letter agreement, the January 13 Contract remain valid and binding upon the
parties, unchanged and in full force and effect. This letter agreement shall be
treated by the parties as a supplement and an amendment to the January 13
Contract and shall be governed by the provisions thereof, including any
provisions regarding governing law and arbitration.
4. Miscellaneous. The parties hereto, without the need for any additional
consideration, agree to execute such other and further instruments, documents
and agreements and to perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to
effectuate the purposes of this letter agreement. This letter agreement along
with the January 13 Contract constitute the entire understanding among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof, including without limitation, any Chinese language versions of this
agreement or the January 13 Contract that may have been entered into by the
parties prior to the date hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of the January
13 Contract to the contrary, neither this letter agreement nor the January 13
Contracts may be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written
instrument signed by all of the parties hereto. This letter agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original and enforceable against the parties actually executing such
counterpart, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one
instrument. Facsimile execution and delivery of this letter agreement is legal,
valid and binding execution and delivery for all purposes.
