    (h) This
      Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with

      concerning the subject matter hereof between the Company and Beijing C&D

    (k) This
      Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be
      deemed an original, but all of which, taken together, shall be deemed one
      document.

    


    (l) The
      failure of any of the parties hereto to at any time enforce any of the
      provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver
      of
      any such provision, nor to in any way effect the validity of this Agreement
      or
      any provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any breach, non-compliance or

      any
      such breach, non-compliance or non-fulfillment shall be construed or deemed
      to
      be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach non-compliance or
      non-fulfillment.

      parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the Underwriters, including, without
      limitation the Representatives, are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement
