(a) On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company hereby agrees: (i)(x) to sell to GIF, and GIF agrees to purchase from the Company, at the purchase price of US$4.50 per share (the “Purchase Price”), 12,666,666 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Initial Shares”) and (y) to sell to Bradseg, and Bradseg agrees to purchase from the Company, at the Purchase Price, 666,667 shares of Class A Common Stock in the form of BDRs (the “Initial BDRs” and, together with the Initial Shares, the “Initial Securities”) and (ii) (x) to sell to GIF, and GIF agrees to purchase from the Company, at the Purchase Price, 19,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) and (y) to sell to Bradseg, and Bradseg agrees to purchase from the Company, at the Purchase Price, 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in the form of BDRs (the “Additional BDRs” and, together with the Additional Shares, the “Additional Securities”).

If no Participating Shareholder (other than the Principal Shareholder) exercises the Preemptive Rights Option on or prior to the Preemptive Rights Option Exercise Date, then the Company will issue the aggregate amount of 44,444,444 shares of Class A Common Stock.

(d) The shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by GIF in accordance with this Section 3 are referred to herein as the “Class A Shares”, the shares of Class A Common Stock in the form of BDRs purchased by Bradseg in accordance with this Section 3 are referred to herein as the “BDR Shares” and the Class A Shares and BDR Shares are referred to herein collectively as the “Shares.”

2.  Amendment to Section 4. The first paragraph of Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
 
“4. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Initial Securities shall be made by the Purchasers to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such Initial Securities at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on October 20, 2008 (the “Initial Closing Date”).
