Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have meanings provided in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.                                Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows.

On December 28, 2012, Abax HK, on behalf of certain of the funds managed and/or advised by it and its nominee entities and its and their affiliates, issued a financing commitment letter (“Financing Commitment Letter”) to Full Alliance International Limited under which Abax HK conditionally committed to provide a mezzanine debt of US$35 million (the “Mezzanine Debt Financing”), as part of its total proposed mezzanine and equity financing of US$50 million to partially fund the Transaction. Abax HK’s commitment under the Financing Commitment Letter will terminate on the earlier of (a) March 30, 2013; (b) the date that definitive documents with respect to the Mezzanine Debt Financing become effective; and (c) the date the acquisition agreement for the Transaction is terminated. The obligation of Abax HK to provide the Mezzanine Debt Financing is subject to a number of conditions, including without limitation, the execution of mutually satisfactory definitive documents for the Mezzanine Debt Financing.

We have been informed by Full Alliance that on December 27, 2012, Yongye International Limited (“Parent”), a Cayman Islands exempted company established in connection with the Transaction, entered into a Term Loan Facility Agreement with the China Development Bank Corporation (“CDB”), pursuant to which CDB will provide a $99 million loan facility (the “Loan”) to Parent in connection with the Transaction.  The Loan was drawn down on December 28, 2012.  The Loan carries interest at the six months U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 300 base points per annum. The Loan will mature and Parent shall repay the full amount of the loan in December, 2013. The foregoing description of the Loan in this Schedule 13D is qualified by reference to the description included in the Schedule 13D/A filed by Full Alliance and Mr. Wu on December 31, 2012.

We have also been informed by Full Alliance that on December 28, 2012, Parent received a letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), from CDB indicating that it will provide debt financing in the form of a loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to US$232 million to, among other things, fund a portion of the consideration payable in connection with the Transaction. The upfront fee to be charged by CDB for the financing under the Debt Commitment Letter will not be less than US$2 million (the “Upfront Fee”). We have also been informed by Full Alliance and MSPEA that on December 27, 2012, MSPEA and Parent entered into a loan agreement, under which MSPEA extended a loan of US$800,000 to Parent for the payment of part of the Upfront Fee. Such loan was drawn down on

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Full Alliance International Limited (“Holdco” or “you”) has advised Abax Global Capital (Hong Kong) Limited, on behalf of funds managed and/or advised by it and its nominee entities and its and their affiliates (the “Commitment Party,” “we” or “us”), that Holdco desires to seek a $35 million mezzanine financing (the “Facility”), the proceeds of which would be used to partially fund the acquisition by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (the “Acquisition Corp.”) of all outstanding shares of common stock of Yongye International, Inc. (the “Acquired Business”) not already owned by Holdco and certain other existing stockholders of the Acquired Business in a going-private transaction (the “Transaction”).

The Facility will have a five-year term and carry interest at eight percent per annum which is subject to certain adjustments based on the performance of the Acquired Business. The Facility will be senior secured obligations of Holdco, which will be subordinated in right of payment to the senior secured debt financing for the Transaction borrowed by Yongye International Limited, or certain other entity that is reasonable satisfactory to the Commitment Party, each of whom shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco at the time immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, but will be senior in right of payment and ranking with any unsecured indebtedness of Holdco. The Facility will be subject to certain early redemption and put rights upon the occurrence of certain events. The Commitment Party will also receive a warrant for certain percent of the equity of Holdco as part of the Facility.

Subject to the terms and conditions described in this letter agreement (this “Commitment Letter”), the Commitment Party is pleased to inform Holdco of its commitment to provide the entire principal amount of the Facility.

Section 1.                      Conditions Precedent

(a) The Commitment Party’s completion of, and satisfaction in all respects with, the results of its confirmatory due diligence with respect to Holdco, Acquisition Corp. and the Acquired Business and the Commitment Party not having discovered or otherwise become aware of any information not previously disclosed to the Commitment

Party that the Commitment Party believes to be inconsistent in a material and adverse manner with the Commitment Party’s understanding, based on the information provided to the Commitment Party prior to the date hereof, of the information or projections of Holdco and its subsidiaries including the Acquired Business (after giving effect to the Transaction) provided to us by you or any of your affiliates;

(b) In the judgment of the Commitment Party, the absence of (A) any event or occurrence which has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change in the business, assets, operations, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), contingent liabilities, prospects or material agreements of Holdco and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, since September 30, 2012 or the Acquired Business since September 30 2012 and (B) any circumstance, change or condition (including the continuation or worsening of any existing condition) in the financial or capital markets generally that, in the judgment of the Commitment Party, could reasonably be expected to materially impair the Commitment Party’s ability to provide the Facility;

(c) The negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation with respect to the Facility, including, without limitation, credit agreements and/or note purchase agreements, notes, security agreements, guarantees and other agreements and commitment letter reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Party and its counsel (the “Operative Documents”);

(d) The Commitment Party’s satisfaction with (i) the terms and conditions of the Transaction, including, without limitation, any financing arrangements (other than the Facility) with respect thereto, (ii) all agreements or other documents entered into by Holdco or any of its affiliates in connection with the Transaction (collectively, together with the Operative Documents, the “Transaction Documents”) (iii) the capital structure of Holdco and its subsidiaries after giving effect to the Transaction, and the consummation of the Transaction, including, without limitation, all such financing arrangements, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents;

(e) The accuracy and completeness of all representations that Holdco, the Acquired Business and their respective affiliates make to the Commitment Party and all information that Holdco, the Acquired Business and their respective affiliates furnish to the Commitment Party; and

(f) All requisite material governmental authorities and third parties shall have approved or consented to the Facility and the Transaction and there shall be no action, actual or threatened, that could reasonably be expected to restrain, prevent or impose burdensome conditions on the Facility or the Transaction.

Section 2.                      Commitment Termination

The Commitment Party’s commitment and other obligations set forth in this Commitment Letter will terminate on the earliest of (A) 30 March, 2013, (B) the date the Operative Documents become effective and (C) the date the acquisition agreement for the Transaction is terminated (such earliest date, the “Termination Date”). Before the Termination Date, the Commitment Party may terminate its commitment hereunder if any event occurs or information becomes available that, in its reasonable judgment, results in, or is likely to result in the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 1.

Section 3.                      Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Commitment Party and its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Person (including, without limitation, in connection with, any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of any defense in connection therewith) in each case arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Facility, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Holdco, the Acquisition Corp., the Acquired Business, any of your or their respective securityholders or creditors, an Indemnified Person or any other person, or an Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The indemnity obligations of Holdco under this paragraph will be in addition to any liability which Holdco may otherwise have, will extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliate of the Commitment Party and the partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Commitment Party and any such affiliate, and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of Holdco, the Commitment Party, any such affiliate and any such person.

No Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to Holdco, the Acquisition Corp., the Acquired Business, or any of their securityholders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent of direct (as opposed to special indirect consequential or punitive) damages determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. It is further agreed that the Commitment Party shall have liability only to you and shall have no third party liability to any other person (including, without limitation, the Acquired Business and securityholders of the Acquired Business). In no event, however shall any Indemnified Party be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

Section 4.                      Costs and Expenses

You shall pay or reimburse the Commitment Party on demand for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Commitment Party (whether incurred before or after the date hereof) in connection with the Facility and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter, the Operative Documents and any security arrangements in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, regardless of whether any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

We further advise you that we will not make available to you confidential information that we may have obtained or may obtain from any other customer.

Section 6.                      Representations and Warranties
