Whereas,

In November 2012 the National Science Council of Taiwan (NSC of
Taiwan), the European Molecular Biology Conference (EMBC) and
the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) signed and
agreed on THE CO-OPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NATIONAL
SCIENCE COUNCIL OF TAIWAN AND THE EUROPEAN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
CONFERENCE AND THE EUROPEAN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY ORGANIZATION (the
“ Agreement ” ); and

By letter of April 15, 2014 the Ministry of Science and
Technology of Taiwan (MOST) informed EMBO that NSC of Taiwan has
been transformed into MOST effective as of 3rd of March, 2014.

Now therefore, MOST, EMBC and EMBO (collectively referred to as
the “ Parties ” )agree as follows:

Taking into consideration the transformation of NSC of Taiwan
into MOST, the Parties agree that MOST became a Party to the
Agreement replacing NSC of Taiwan. Any reference in the
Agreement to NSC of Taiwan is to be considered as reference to
the MOST. Apart from these changes the Agreement remains
unchanged.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, being duly authorized
thereto, have signed this Amendment No. 1.

Done in duplicate in the English language.
