Exhibit A
Form of Promissory Note
PROMISSORY NOTE
PN-F1
Up to $5,000,000 As set forth on Exhibit A |
May 15, 2009 |
Maturity Date: As set forth below
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Company promises to pay no later than three years after the
initial advance of funds under this Note (the “Maturity Date”), to Uni-Asia Limited, a company
incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, a (“Lender”), at the Company’s principal office, or
order, the principal sum of the total of all payments made by Lender to Company prior to the
Maturity Date pursuant to the Credit Line (described in paragraph 5 below), together with accrued
and unpaid interest (the “Loan Amount”), at a rate equal to 10% per annum. Interest shall be
payable by the Company in arrears to the Lender no later than 10 days after the end of each
financial quarter, provided however, that each quarterly payment shall be reduced by $7,500 (the
“Interest Reduction”).
1. This note (the “Note”) is being issued to the Lender pursuant to the terms of that certain
Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of May 15, 2009 (the “Agreement Date”)
and all terms and conditions of the Agreement are incorporated herein for all purposes.
2. Except as expressly stated below, the entire principal sum and all accrued interest on this
Note shall become due and payable in full upon the earlier of (i) the expected closing of an IPO or
SPAC transaction (as defined below), (ii) the Maturity Date, as listed above or (iii) the sale of a
majority of the Common Shares of the Company to a third party where the net realized value of the
Company, as if it were sold in its entirety exceeds $140,000,000. For the purposes of this Note,
the term “IPO” means the underwritten public offering of the Common Shares of the Company, where
the gross proceeds to the Company are no less than $40,000,000 with a minimum market capitalization
attributable to the Company of $140,000,000 and the term “SPAC” means the merger of the Common
Shares of the Company and consolidation with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company listed on a
recognized stock exchange where the net proceeds to the Company, pre-merger, are no less than
$40,000,000 with a minimum market capitalization attributable to the Company of $140,000,000.
3. In addition, the Lender may at its option, prior to the Maturity Date, elect to convert the
entire outstanding Loan Amount into Class F Preference Shares at a price per share equal to $365.13
(the “Class F Price”); provided however, if the Company has after the date hereof, issued any new
debt or equity securities to a third party investor at a price per share lower than the Class F
Price, the Lender shall have the option to convert such Loan Amount at such lower price into shares
of such new class. The Class F Preference Shares shall have senior liquidation rights over all
other issued and outstanding classes of shares of the Company. Such option under this Section 3
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the earlier of the Maturity Date or the
termination of the Credit Line pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
4. Prepayment of principal and/or accrued interest, or any portion thereof, may be made at any
time, without penalty by Company commencing twelve months after the date the initial Advance (as
defined below) is paid under the Note; provided, however, that if prepayment of the entire
outstanding principal amount is made less than one year after the payment of the initial Advance
(as defined below) by the Lender, the amount of accrued interest shall equal 365 days of interest
on the outstanding principal amount. Principal
and interest shall be paid in lawful tender of the United States and shall be credited first to the
accrued interest then due and
payable and the remainder applied to principal. Interest shall
accrue on each Advance from the date each such Advance is made by Lender to Company. Other than as
set forth herein, all Interest accrued hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365
days for the actual number of days elapsed and shall not be cumulative. Upon prepayment under this
Section 4, the Company shall be entitled to draw down such pre-payment amount (not including the
interest component) at a subsequent time and prior to the Maturity Date on the same terms and
conditions listed herein. For purposes of this Note, all references to accrued interest shall mean
accrued interest less the Interest Reduction, as applicable.
5. The Lender hereby establishes for a period extending to the earlier of (i) the Maturity
Date, (ii) an IPO, (iii) subject to compliance by the Company with the obligations in Section 4
above, termination of this Note and the Credit Line (as defined herein) issued hereunder by the
Company upon full repayment of all outstanding Loan Amounts by the Company and provided, however,
no Event of Default has occurred, or (iv) a SPAC, a revolving line of credit (“Credit Line”) for
the Company in the principal amount of up to $5,000,000 (“Credit Limit”) secured by the issuance of
38,040.17 Class F Preference Shares of the Company to the Lender which represents twice the nominal
value of the Credit Limit pursuant to the terms of the Class F Preference Shares Purchase Agreement
dated of even date herewith. All sums advanced on the Credit Line (or otherwise pursuant to the
terms of this Note) (each an “Advance”) shall become part of the principal amount owed under this
Note and shall be reflected on the Advance Schedule (as defined below). All Advance requests may
be made by Company by delivering a Borrowing Request at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the
proposed funding date in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, no more than once per
calendar month and for no greater amount than $2,000,000 per each Advance request unless otherwise
agreed among the parties. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred under paragraph 6 hereof
and the Company fails to meet any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.9 of the Purchase
Agreement, Lender shall provide such Advance when requested by the Company pursuant to the terms
referenced herein. Each Advance shall be listed on the attached Schedule of Loans which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the “Advance Schedule”) as amended from time to time. The Advance
Schedule shall be updated and amended with the prior consent of Company from time to time to
reflect additional Advances. Each Advance request shall be delivered in writing (by letter,
facsimile, or e-mail) by the Company to the Lender at the following address (which address may be
changed by Lender at any time by providing written notice to Company):

party; (i) any material judgments against the Company; and (j) a material adverse change in the

7. The Company shall concurrently with the execution of this Note, enter into that certain
Class F Preference Shares Purchase Agreement and attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Class F
Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Class F Agreement, the Company shall subject to
compliance with applicable laws, sell at a price per share equal to $262.88, 38,040.17 shares of
