Execution Version

This Exchange Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into and effective as of December 30, 2009 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Yasheng Eco-Trade Corporation, formerly known as Vortex Resources Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxxx Xxxxx, an individual who is a citizen of Israel and a California resident (the “Holder”).

WHEREAS, the Holder is the holder of that certain Promissory Note, in principal amount of $250,000.00, issued by the Company to the Holder (as Lender thereunder), issued on and dated August 8, 2008 (the “Promissory Note”); and

WHEREAS, the entire principal amount of the Promissory Note, plus the fruits of 50% from designated well that Vortex assigned to Lender, was due and payable on August 8, 2009, and no amount thereof has been paid as of the Effective Date; and

WHEREAS, the Company is presently unable to pay the amount owed under the Promissory Note; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the Company desires to exchange with the Holder, and the Holder desires to exchange with the Company, a portion of the Promissory Note for shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions of and as more fully described in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Holder agree as follows:

1. Exchange of Note for Shares. On the Effective Date, the Holder will transfer and deliver $100,000.00 worth of the Promissory Note to the Company and the Company will issue to Holder 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”) in exchange for such portion of the Promissory Note plus any and all claims arising out of or relating to such portion of the Promissory Note, including without limitation any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any right to receive a pro rata portion of the fruits of 50% from designated well. The exchanged portion of the Promissory Note shall be cancelled for all purposes as of the Effective Date, whether or not the original is returned to the Company for cancelation. The number of Exchange Shares delivered pursuant to this Section 1 is subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.

2. Adjustment to Exchange Shares. The number of Exchange Shares issuable to the Holder pursuant to Section 1 shall be adjusted such that the aggregate number of Exchange Shares issuable to the Holder is equal to (a) $100,000.00 plus the actual legal fees and costs incurred by the Holder and the Holder’s successors, designees and assigns, divided by (b) 75% of the volume-weighted average price for the 20 trading days following delivery of the Exchange Shares, calculated by dividing the aggregate value of Common Stock traded on its trading market (price multiplied by number of shares traded) by the total volume (number of shares) of Common Stock traded on the trading market for such trading day. If this adjustment requires the issuance of additional Exchange Shares to the Holder (i.e. if a total issuance of more than 8,000,000 shares is required), such additional Exchange Shares shall be issued to the Holder or its designee within one business day. If this adjustment requires the return of Exchange Shares to the Company (i.e. if an aggregate issuance of less than 8,000,000 shares is required), such Exchange Shares shall be promptly returned to the Company.

3. Delivery of Exchange Shares. All Exchange Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free of any pre-emptive rights. All Exchange Shares shall be issued by the Company in electronic form, freely tradable, without restriction on resale, and credited immediately by the Company to any specified Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) account with Depository Trust Company (DTC) under its Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program specified by the Holder or its designee, time being of the essence.

FORM OF OPINION

We have acted as counsel to Yasheng Eco-Trade Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Exchange Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2009, between you and the Company (the “Agreement”) and the transactions contemplated therein.

In so acting, we have examined (i) the Agreement, (ii) the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as in effect on the date hereof (the “Articles of Incorporation”), and (iii) the Company’s Bylaws, as in effect on the date hereof (the “Bylaws”), and we have examined and considered such corporate records, certificates and matters of law as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for our opinions set forth below.

In rendering the opinions set forth in this opinion letter, we assume the following:

the legal capacity of each natural person and the legal existence of all parties other than the Company to the transactions referred to in the Agreement;

the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability as to each person other than the Company or person(s) acting on behalf of the Company of each document executed and delivered or to be executed or delivered and of each other act done or to be done by such person;

the transactions referred to in the Agreement have been consummated;

the genuineness of all signatures and the completeness of each document submitted to us;

that the addressees have acted in good faith, without notice of adverse claims, and have complied with all laws applicable to them that affect the transactions referred to in the Agreement;

that with respect to the Agreement and to the transactions referred to therein, there has been no mutual mistake of fact and there exists no fraud or duress.

As to certain questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon statements or certificates of public officials and officers of the Company.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof:

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. The Exchange Shares are duly authorized, and when issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement will be, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. To the best of our knowledge, the issuance of the Exchange Shares will not be subject to any statutory or contractual preemptive rights of any stockholder of the Company.

3. The Exchange Shares are being issued to the Holder by the Company in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations. The Exchange Shares are freely tradable, without restriction on resale, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Act and Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The date of issuance of the Exchange Shares will tack to the initial issuance date of the Promissory Note of August 8, 2008. The resale of the Exchange Shares by the Holder will not conflict with or result in a violation of Section 5 of the Act including any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

4. The Company has the corporate power and authority to (a) execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Agreement , and (b) issue, sell and deliver the Exchange Shares.

These opinions are limited to the matters expressly stated herein and are rendered solely for your benefit and may not be quoted or relied upon for any other purpose or by an other person.

As a consequence, it is subject to a number of qualifications, exceptions, definitions, limitations on coverage and other limitations, all as more particularly described in the Accord, including the General Qualifications and the Equitable Principles Limitation, and this opinion letter should be read in conjunction therewith.

We are counsel admitted to practice in the State of New York and we do not express any opinion with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any jurisdiction, other than the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America. In furnishing the opinion regarding the valid existence and good standing of the Company, we have relied solely upon a good standing certificate issued by the Secretary of State of Delaware on December __, 2009.

This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation, to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in laws which may hereafter occur.

Sincerely,
