2.           REGISTRATION.

 

a.           Mandatory
Registration. The Company shall, within ninety (90) days from the date hereof, file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement
on Form F-3 covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with
applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Investor
under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), as mutually determined by both
the Company and the Investor in consultation with their respective legal counsel, subject to the aggregate number of authorized
shares of the Company’s American Depository Shares then available for issuance in its Charter. The Registration Statement
shall register only the Registrable Securities and no other securities of the Company. The Investor and its counsel shall have
a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement to such Registration
Statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such
comments. The Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall
use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement and any amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible
date. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated
under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all
times until the date on which the Investor shall have resold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no Available Amount
remains under the Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement (including any
amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
in which they were made, not misleading.

 

b.           Rule
424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant
to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with
sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity
to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all
such comments. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon such prospectus within one (1) Business Day from
the date the Investor receives the final pre-filing version of such prospectus.

 

c.           Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. As soon as practicable, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the necessity therefor
arises, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall file
one or more new Registration Statements (each, a “New Registration Statement”) covering all of the Registrable
Securities that were not covered by the initial Registration Statement (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a)).
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
practicable following the filing thereof.

 

    	2

    	 

    

 

d.           Offering.
If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration
Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement
to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices),
or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise
required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement,
then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with
the prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Investor and its legal counsel as to the specific Registrable
Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become
effective and be used as aforesaid. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company
shall file one or more New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable
Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein
is available for use by the Investor. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s
obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s obligations) shall be qualified
as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section 2(d).

 

3.           RELATED
OBLIGATIONS.

 

With respect to the Registration
Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 including on any New Registration
Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

a.           The
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule
424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement
effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration
Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods
of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.

 

b.           The
Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto at least two (2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC.  The Investor shall
use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and any amendments
or supplements thereto within two (2) Business Days from the date the Investor receives the final version thereof.  The Company
shall furnish to the Investor, without charge any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives
relating to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement. Without the prior written consent of the Investor (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Company shall not file any document with the SEC or make any disclosure directly
referring to the Investor.

 

c.           Upon
request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the
SEC, at least one copy of such registration statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules,
all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, a
copy of the prospectus included in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number
of copies as the Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final
prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, any filing available to the Investor via the SEC’s live EDGAR
system shall be deemed “furnished to the Investor” hereunder.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

d.           The
Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement
under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably
requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to
such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period,
(iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during
the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities
for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service
of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt
by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt
of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

e.           As
promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening
of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare
a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such
supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall
also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has
been filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness
shall be delivered to the Investor by email or facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of
any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus or related information,
and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be
appropriate.

 

f.            The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of
any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and,
if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment
and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation
or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

g.           The
Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same
class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted
under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Principal
Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.

 

h.           The
Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive
legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any registration statement and enable such certificates
to be in such denominations or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investor may
request.

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

i.            The
Company shall at all times provide a depositary bank/transfer agent and registrar with respect to its American Depository Shares.

 

j.            If
reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as the Investor believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase
price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of
such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable upon notification of the matters to be incorporated
in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration statement.

 

k.          The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.

 

l.            Within
one (1) Business Day after any registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC,
the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the Transfer Agent for such Registrable
Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Thereafter, if requested by the Buyer at any time, the Company shall require its
counsel to deliver to the Buyer a written confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such registration statement has lapsed
at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the registration statement
is current and available to the Buyer for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.

 

m.           The
Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable
Securities pursuant to any registration statement.

 

4.           OBLIGATIONS
OF THE INVESTOR.

 

a.           The
Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor in connection
with any registration statement hereunder. The Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required
to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration
as the Company may reasonably request.

 

b.           The
Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing
of any registration statement hereunder.

 

c.           The
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of the kind
described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to promptly deliver American Depository Shares
without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable
Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice
from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section
3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

5.           EXPENSES
OF REGISTRATION.

 

All reasonable expenses,
other than sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections
2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees,
and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

 

6.           INDEMNIFICATION.

 

a.           To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each
Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of
the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement
or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any
action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental,
administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party
is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such
Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities
or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”),
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus
(as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or
alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder
relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement
or (iv) any material violation by the Company of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively,
“Violations”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and
are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such Claim subject to the Company’s prior receipt of a written undertaking that the applicable Indemnified
Person will promptly return any such indemnification amounts upon final judicial determination (all appeals having been taken or
time for appeals having expired) that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to such indemnification pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section
6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with information about the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly
for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section
3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person
asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling
such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised
prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section
3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus
prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not
be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus
made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section
3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable
Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

b.           In
connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and
defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified
Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each
case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
about the Investor set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use
in connection with such registration statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section
7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent
of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable
under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the
Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer
of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

c.           Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action
or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying
party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to
the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of
the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified
Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its
own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained
by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying
party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate
fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying
party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully
apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party
shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however,
that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without
the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other
compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as
provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve
such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to
the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

d.           The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party
or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject
to pursuant to the law.

 

7.           CONTRIBUTION.

 

To the extent any indemnification
by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided,
however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of
proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

8.           REPORTS
AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

 

With a view to making available
to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC
that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”),
the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, to:

 

a.           make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

b.           file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required
for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

c.           furnish
to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company
that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii)
a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company,
and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule
144 without registration; and

 

d.           The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of
the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

e.           take
such additional action as is requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule
144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to
the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with Investor
and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

 

The Company agrees that damages
may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and that Investor shall, whether
or not it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunctions,
without having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms or provisions.

 

9.           ASSIGNMENT
OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

The Company shall not assign
this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor. The Investor may not assign
its rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company, other than to an affiliate of the Investor controlled
by Jonathan Cope or Josh Scheinfeld.

 

10.         AMENDMENT
OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
