    CML Beijing is expected to incur a maximum of US$1.7 million in relation to the provision of the registration support service. Alma would pay CML Beijing based on the costs and related miscellaneous fees and costs CML Beijing charged by and/or paid to third parties upon attaining different stages of the project, subject to any material change of the scope of registration support services under the Registration Support Service Agreement, and Alma would in turn be reimbursed by the licensor of such product.
