		(j)	the steps set forth in Clauses 2.1(g) through (i) will be repeated until WFOE 2’s

		(k)	HKCo 1 will form a wholly owned limited liability company in accordance with the PRC laws (“NewCo
1”);

 

		(l)	HKCo 2 will form a wholly owned limited liability company in accordance with the PRC laws (“NewCo

		(n)	WFOE 1 will transfer all of its assets except for the real estate properties to NewCo 1;

 

		(o)	WFOE 2 will transfer all of its assets except for the real estate properties to NewCo 2;

 

		(p)	The Operating Company will contribute all of its real estate properties to NewCo 3 (the “Contribution”);
and

release the mortgage over the Mortgaged Properties listed in items nos. 47 to 50 on Appendix 2 hereto (the “Existing
Mortgage”), pursuant to the Control Agreement; provided that, the Operating Company and NewCo 3 will simultaneously execute
and deliver to SDL any and all agreements and other instruments necessary and desirable to substitute the Existing Mortgage with
a replacement mortgage granted by NewCo 3 over the said Mortgage Properties in favor of the Entrustment Bank to secure the obligations
of WFOE 2 under the Onshore Loan Agreement (the “Replacement Mortgage”), to be dated and take effect as of the
date of the Contribution. Without prejudice to the foregoing, upon SDL’s request, the NewCo 3 shall promptly (x) remove its
then legal representative from such office and appoint the person designated by SDL as the new legal representative, and (y) enter
into any custody arrangement with respect to the corporate chops or seals, bank mandates, books and records of NewCo 3 as requested
by SDL. Immediately upon the Contribution, the Parties agree to take any and all actions required to perfect the Replacement Mortgage.”

 

		2.	Representation,
Warranty and Indemnity

 

2.1         The
Warrantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to SDL that neither the Amended Steps nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby will violate or breach or result in a violation or breach of (i) any applicable laws or (ii) any negative
tax, accounting and regulatory compliance consequences with respect to SDL, any Warrantor or their respective affiliates as compared
to the original Reorganization steps set forth in Clause 2 of the Deed prior to the execution of this Amendment.
