hereunder by any other Purchaser that the following statements are true and
correct:
2.1 Investment
Purpose.
Purchaser is purchasing the Common Stock and the Warrants for Purchaser's own
account for investment only and not with a view toward or in connection with
the
public sale or distribution thereof. Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly,
offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer its Common Stock, Warrants or any
interest therein except pursuant to transactions that are exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered under
the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that Purchaser must bear the economic
risk of this investment indefinitely, unless the Securities are registered
pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or
an
exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company has no
present intention of registering any such Securities other than as contemplated
by the terms of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation setting forth the
designation, rights and preferences of the Common Stock (the “Charter”) and the
terms of the Warrants set forth in the certificate evidencing the Warrants
(the
“Warrant Certificate”).
2.2 Accredited
Investor/"Non-U.S."
Person Status.
Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D as provided in Exhibit B hereto or Purchaser is
a “non-U.S.” Person as defined under Rule 902 of Regulation S.
2.3 Reliance
on Exemptions.
Purchaser understands that the Common Stock and Warrants are being offered
and
sold to Purchaser in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the
Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Purchaser's compliance
with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and
understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Purchaser to acquire
the
Common Shares and Warrants.
2
2.4 General
Solicitation.
Purchaser
is not
purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice
or
other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper,
magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented
at
any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement
,including, without limitation, as a result of the filing of the registration
statement on form SB-2 filed with the SEC on November 13, 2007. Purchaser became
interested in the private placement through its substantive, pre-existing
relationship with the Company or direct contact by the Company or its agents
and
not as a result of the filing of such registration statement.
2.5 Information.
Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company,
was
permitted to meet with the Company's officers and has received what the
Purchaser believes to be complete and satisfactory answers
to any such inquiries. Except for the answers received by Purchaser as a result
of inquiries made by Purchaser to Company officers, and except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, the Purchaser is not relying upon any information,
representations or warranties of any other party. Neither
such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Purchaser
or any of its representations shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser's right
to
rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE III.
Purchaser understands that Purchaser's investment in the Securities involves
a
high degree of risk.
2.6 Governmental
Review.
Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any
other
government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation
or
endorsement of the Securities.
2.7 Transfer
or Resale.
Purchaser understands that (i) except as provided in the Charter and the
Warrant Certificate, the Securities have not been and are not being registered
under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered,
sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered thereunder
or an exemption from such registration is available (which exemption the Company
expressly agrees may be established as contemplated in clauses (b) and (c)
of
Section 5.1
hereof);
(ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (or a successor rule) ("Rule 144")
may be
made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if
Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such Securities without
registration under the Securities Act under circumstances in which the seller
may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities
Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities
Act
or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder in order for such resale
to
be allowed, and (iii) the Company is under no obligation to register such
Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply
with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case, other
than pursuant to the Charter and the Warrant Certificate).
2.8 No
Directed Selling Efforts.
Neither
Purchaser, nor any of his affiliates, nor any person acting on its behalf or
any
behalf of any such affiliate, has engaged or will engage in any activity
undertaken for the purpose of, or that reasonably could be expected to have
the
effect of, conditioning the markets in the United States for the Securities
or
Common Stock, including but not limited to effecting any sale or short sale
of
the Company’s securities through Purchaser or any of his affiliates prior to the
expiration of any restricted period contained in Regulation S (any such activity
being defined herein as a “Directed Selling Effort”). To the best knowledge of
the undersigned, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are
not
part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the 1933 Act,
and the Securities are being purchased for investment purposes by Purchaser.
Purchaser agrees that all offers and sales of the Common Stock from the date
hereof and through the expiration of the any restricted period set forth in
Rule
903 of Regulation S (as the same may be amended from time to time hereafter)
shall not be made to U.S. Persons or for the account or benefit of U.S. Persons
and shall otherwise be made in compliance with the provisions of Regulation
S
and any other applicable provisions of the Securities Act. Purchaser and its
representatives have not conducted any Directed Selling Effort as that term
is
used and defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S and will not engage in any such
Directed Selling Effort within the United States through the expiration of
any
restricted period set forth in Rule 903 of Regulation S.

(with notice or lapse of time or both) any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to
which
the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, except for possible

have a Material Adverse Effect. The businesses of the Company and its
subsidiaries are not being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as
a
Purchaser owns any of the Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or
regulation of any governmental entity, except for possible violations the
sanctions for which either individually or in the aggregate would not have
a

of the Common Stock, (ii) the issuance of the Warrants, and (iii) the issuance

ARTICLE

LEGEND
REMOVAL, TRANSFER, CERTAIN SALES, ADDITIONAL SHARES
5.1 Removal
of Legend.
The
Legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such
Legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, and a certificate
for a security shall be originally issued without the Legend, if, (a) the
sale of such Security is registered under the Securities Act, (b) such
holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance
and
scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost
of
which shall be borne by the Company if, after one (1) year, neither an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is
available in connection with such sale) to the effect that a public sale or
transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Securities
Act pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements or
(c) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the holder
provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Security can be so
sold
without restriction or (d) such Security can be sold pursuant to
Rule 144(k). The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this Section. Each Purchaser agrees to sell all
Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the
Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend,
pursuant to an effective registration statement, in accordance with the manner
of distribution described in such registration statement and to deliver a
prospectus in connection with such sale, or in compliance with an exemption
from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In the event the Legend
is
removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and
the
Security is to be disposed of other than pursuant to the registration statement
or pursuant to Rule 144, then prior to, and as a condition to, such
disposition such Security shall be relegended as provided herein in connection
with any disposition if the subsequent transfer thereof would be restricted
under the Securities Act. Also, in the event the Legend is removed from any
Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and thereafter the
effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of such Security
is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto
is
required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice
to
Purchaser holding such Security, the Company may require that the Legend be
placed on any such Security that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective
registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect to which the opinion referred
to in clause (b) next above has not been rendered, which Legend shall be
removed when such Security may be sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion with respect
thereto described in clause (b) next above.
5.2 Transfer
Agent Instructions.
The
Company agrees that following the effective date of the registration statement
or at such time as such legend is no longer required under Section 5.1, it
will,
no later than ten (10) days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company
or the Company's transfer agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares
issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the "Legend Removal Date"), deliver
or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such
Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered
in
the name of each Purchaser or its nominee for the Warrant Shares in such amounts
determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. The Company covenants
that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this
ARTICLE V,
and
stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2.6 hereof in the case
of the Warrant Shares prior to registration of the Warrant Shares under the
Securities Act, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that
the
Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records
of
the Company. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way each Purchaser's
obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.1 hereof to resell the
Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a
prospectus in connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption
from
the registration requirements of applicable securities laws. If (a) a
Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of
counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel
in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its
counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after
one (1) year, neither an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale), to
the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or
transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) a Purchaser
transfers Securities to an affiliate which is an accredited investor (within
the
meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and which delivers to the
Company in written form the same representations, warranties and covenants
made
by Purchaser hereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit
the transfer, and, in the case of the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its
transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such
denomination as specified by such Purchaser. The Company acknowledges that
a
breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a
Purchaser by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated
hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a
breach of its obligations under this ARTICLE V
will be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this ARTICLE V,
that a
Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies to
an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required.

CHINA

a
Maryland corporation (the “Company”),
hereby certifies that _____
Seaside Capital II. LLC _,
its
permissible transferees, designees, successors and assigns (collectively, the
“Holder”), for value received, is entitled to purchase from the Company at any
time (the “Effective Date”) and terminating on the third anniversary of the date
hereof (the “Termination Date”) up to 434,800 shares (each, a “Share” and
collectively the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $.001 par value per
Share (the “Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In the
aggregate, the number of Shares of Common Stock for which the warrant can be
exercisable should be no more that 5 million shares.
1. Exercise
of Warrant.
(a) The
purchase right represented by this Common Stock Warrant (this "Warrant") is
exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time from and
after the Effective Date through and including the Termination
Date.
(b) Upon
presentation and surrender of this Warrant, accompanied by a completed Election
to Purchase in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A
(the
“Election
to Purchase”)
duly
executed, at the principal office of the Company currently located at YASEN
XXXXXXXX XXXXXX, 0XX XXXXX, XX.00 XXX XIN 6TH ROAD, HI-TECH INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT XXXX , XX'XX, XXXXXXX, XXXXX 000000, (or such other office or
agency
of the Company within the United States as the Company may designate to the
Holder) together with a check payable to, or wire transfer to, the Company
in
the amount of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares being
purchased, the Company or the Company’s transfer agent, as the case may be,
shall within three (3) business days deliver to the Holder hereof certificates
of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock which in the aggregate represent
the number of Shares being purchased. The certificates so delivered shall
be in
such denominations as may be requested by the Holder and shall be registered
in
the name of the Holder or such other name as shall be designated by the Holder.
All or less than all of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may
be
exercised and, in case of the exercise of less than all, the Company, upon
surrender hereof, will at the Company’s expense deliver to the Holder a new
warrant entitling said holder to purchase the number of Shares represented
by
this Warrant which have not been exercised. This Warrant may only be exercised
to the extent the Company has a sufficient number of Shares of Common Stock
available for issuance at the time of any exercise.
2. Warrant.
(a) Exchange,
Transfer and Replacement.
At any
time prior to the exercise hereof, this Warrant may be exchanged upon
presentation and surrender to the Company, alone or with other warrants of
like
tenor of different denominations registered in the name of the same Holder,
for
another warrant or warrants of like tenor in the name of such Holder exercisable
for the aggregate number of Shares as the warrant or warrants
surrendered.
(b) Replacement
of Warrant.
Upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss,
theft, or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company, or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at
its
expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like
tenor.
(c) Cancellation;
Payment of Expenses.
Upon
the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange or
replacement as provided in this Section 2, this Warrant shall be promptly
canceled by the Company. The Holder shall pay all taxes and all other expenses
(including legal expenses, if any, incurred by the Holder or transferees) and
charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery
of
Warrants pursuant to this Section 2.
(d) Warrant
Register.
The
Company shall maintain, at its principal executive offices (or at the offices
of
the transfer agent for the Warrant or such other office or agency of the Company
as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant
(the “Warrant Register”), in which the Company shall record the name and address
of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name
and address of each transferee and each prior owner of this
Warrant.
18
3.
Rights and Obligations of Holders of this Warrant.
The
Holder of this Warrant shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights
of
a stockholder in the Company, either at law or in equity; provided,
however,
that in
the event any certificate representing shares of Common Stock or other
securities is issued to the holder hereof upon exercise of this Warrant,
such
holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record
of
such Common Stock on the date on which this Warrant, together with a duly
executed Election to Purchase, was surrendered and payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such Common
Stock certificate.
4. Registration
Rights.
(a)
The
Company, for a period of two years, will give written notice to each Holder
of
this Warrant or shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant
(“Warrant Shares”) not less than 20 days in advance of the initial filing of any
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (other
than
a registration statement pertaining to securities issuable pursuant to employee
stock option, stock purchase, or similar plans or a registration statement
pertaining to securities issuable in connection with the acquisition of a
business, whether through a merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets, or
exchange of securities), covering any Common Stock or other securities of the
Company, and will afford the Holder the opportunity to have included in such
registration statement all or such part of the Warrant Shares issued or issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant, as may be designated by written notice to the
Company not later than ten days following receipt of such notice from the
Company. The Company shall be entitled to exclude the Warrant Shares held by
or
issuable to the Holder from any one, but not more than one, such registration
if
either the Company or the underwriter in connection with offering to be made
pursuant to such registration statement in its sole discretion decides that
the
inclusion of such shares will materially interfere with the orderly sale and
distribution of the securities being offered under such registration statement
by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled
to exclude the Warrant Shares held by or issuable to the Holder if shares of
other shareholders are being included in any such registration statement and,
in
such circumstances, the Holder shall be entitled to include the Warrant Shares
held by or issuable to the Holder on a pro-rata basis in the proportion that
the
number of Warrant Shares of Common Stock held by or issuable to the Holder
bears
to the shares of Common Stock held by all other shareholders, including shares
in such registration statement. The Holder shall not be entitled to include
shares in more than two registration statements pursuant to the provisions
of
this Section (3)(e), and all rights of any holder under this Section (3)(e)
shall terminate after the holder has included shares of Common Stock in two
registration statements pursuant to this Section (3)(e).
19
(b)
The
Company will pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any registration
effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 5(a), including registration
fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing expenses (including such number
of
any preliminary and the final prospectus as may be reasonably requested), blue
sky qualification fees and expenses, and all other expenses, except for
underwriting commissions or discounts applicable to the shares of Common Stock
being sold by the holder and the fees of counsel for the Holder, all of which
shall be paid by the Holder.
5. Fractional
Shares.
In lieu
of issuance of a fractional share upon any exercise hereunder, the Company
will
pay the cash value of that fractional share, calculated on the basis of the
Exercise Price.
6. Legends.
Prior
to issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, all such
certificates representing such shares shall bear a restrictive legend to the
effect that the Shares represented by such certificate have not been registered
under the 1933 Act, and that the Shares may not be sold or transferred in the
absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom, such legend to be
substantially in the form of the bold-face language appearing at the top of
Page
1 of this Warrant.
7. Disposition
of Warrants or Shares; Lockup.
(a)
The
Holder of this Warrant, each transferee hereof and any holder and transferee
of
any Shares, by his or its acceptance thereof, agrees that no public distribution
of Warrants or Shares will be made in violation of the provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Furthermore, it shall be a condition to
the
transfer of this Warrant that any transferee thereof deliver to the Company
his
or its written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and
conditions contained in this Warrant.
(b)
The
Holder may not, without obtaining the prior written consent of the Company,
directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, grant an option for the sale of,
transfer, assign, hypothecate, pledge, distribute or otherwise dispose of or
encumber any Warrant Shares or any beneficial interest therein until at least
150 days following the exercise of Warrant; provided, however, immediately
upon
the exercise of Warrant a Holder may sell up to 10% of the Warrant Shares issued
to such Holder upon exercise of this Warrant, after the expiration of 90 days
after the exercise of Warrant a Holder may sell up to 30% of the Warrant Shares
issued to such Holder upon exercise of this Warrant, and after the expiration
of
120 days following the Effective Date a holder may sell up to an additional
30%
of the Warrant Shares issued to such Holder..
20
8. Merger
or Consolidation.
The
Company will not merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or
sell or otherwise transfer its property, assets and business substantially
as an
entirety to another corporation, unless the corporation resulting from such
merger or consolidation (if not the Company), or such transferee corporation,
as
the case may be, shall expressly assume, by supplemental agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder, the due and punctual
performance and observance of each and every covenant and condition of this
Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company.
9. Notices.
Except
as otherwise specified herein to the contrary, all notices, requests, demands
and other communications required or desired to be given hereunder shall only
be
effective if given in writing by certified or registered U.S. mail with return
receipt requested and postage prepaid; by private overnight delivery service

above; (b) on the business day immediately following deposit with a private
overnight delivery service if sent by said service; (c) upon receipt of
