limited liability company organized under the laws of the Peoples Republic of
China (“Qufu Natural Green”), and Qufu Shengwang Stevia Biology and Science Co.,
Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Peoples
Republic of China (the “Company” or “Qufu Shengwang”), and Shandong Shengwang

BACKGROUND
A. Qufu
Natural Green, Qufu Shengwang and Shandong Shengwang are the parties to that
certain Acquisition Agreement dated as of June 30, 2008 (the
"Agreement");
B. The
Agreement was amended as of September 2, 2008 (the “Amendment”) to adjust the
Purchase Price of the Qufu Shengwang Interest to reflect a reduction in the net
tangible assets of Qufu Shengwang from $11,693,666 to $10,334,022 as a result of
the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“US GAAP”) required to eliminate the difference between the fair market value
and cost basis of the land use rights that were recorded by Qufu Shengwang in
its financial statements prior to completion of an audit to its financial
statements as of April 30, 2008;
C. Subsequent
to the Amendment, Qufu Shengwang adjusted its balance sheet to eliminate certain
inventory in the amount of $698,115 and a patent that was included in its
intangible assets valued at $2,924,489 (the “Balance Sheet Adjustments”)
resulting in net tangible assets in Qufu Shengwang of $6,711,418 as of April 30,
2008; and
D. As
a result of the Balance Sheet Adjustments and to clarify that the reference to
"net tangible assets" in the Agreement and the Amendment was intended to refer
to "net assets", the parties agreed to amend certain parts of the Agreement and
the Amendment as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
execution and delivery of the Agreement, the Amendment and the Second Amendment
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as
