DUE September 1, 2013
Original Issue Date August 16, 2011 US$88,200
This Convertible Promissory Note is one of a series of duly authorized and issued convertible promissory notes of All Fuels & Energy Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), designated its 8% Convertible Promissory Notes due September 1, 2013 (the “Note”), issued to Jinsun, LLC (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Holder”) in accordance with exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August 15, 2011 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and the Holder. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Article I.
Section 1.01 Principal and Interest. For value received, the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of the Holder, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds the principal sum of $88,200 on the earliest of (i) September 1, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”), or (ii) an Event of Default (as defined in Section 3.01).
(a) This Note shall accrue interest at 8% per annum on the unpaid principal balance of the Note.
(b) On the Maturity Date, the entire unpaid principal amount and accrued interest shall be paid to the Holder, unless this Note is converted in accordance with Section 1.02 herein.
(c) Except as otherwise set forth in this Note, the Company may prepay any portion of the principal amount of this Note without the prior written consent of the Holder.
Section 1.02 Optional Conversion. Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Split, the Holder shall be entitled, at its option, to convert all or any part of the principal amount of the Note into the Company’s common stock at $00.00069 (the “Conversion Price,” as set forth below) . The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note plus any accrued but unpaid interest to be converted as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice by (y) the Conversion Price. To convert this Note, the Holder hereof shall deliver written notice thereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Note, with appropriate insertions (the “Conversion Notice”), to the Company at its address as set forth herein. The date upon which the conversion shall be effective (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date set forth in the Conversion Notice. Any conversion of any portion of the Note shall be deemed to be a pre-payment of principal, without any penalty, and shall be credited against any future payments of principal in the order that such payments become due and payable.
Section 1.03 Absolute Obligation/Ranking. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and liquidated damages (if any) on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company. This Note ranks pari passu with all other Notes now or hereinafter issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Section 1.04 Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Company will act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may change any paying agent, registrar, or Company-registrar by giving the Holder not less than ten (10) business days’ written notice of its election to do so, specifying the name, address, telephone number and facsimile number of the paying agent or registrar. The Company may act in any such capacity.
Section 1.05 Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration of transfer or exchange.
Section 1.06 Investment Representations. This Note has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.
Section 1.07 Reliance on Note Register. Prior to due presentment to the Company for transfer or conversion of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 1.08 In addition to the rights and remedies given it by this Note, the Holder shall have all those rights and remedies allowed by applicable laws. The rights and remedies of the Holder are cumulative and recourse to one or more right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the others.
Article II.
Section 2.01 Amendments and Waiver of Default. The Note may not be amended without the consent of the Holder. Notwithstanding the above, without the consent of the Holder, the Note may be amended to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of the Holder.
Article III.

(a) failure by the Company to pay principal amount due hereunder within five (5) days of the date such payment is due;
(b) failure by the Company’s transfer agent to issue Common Stock to the Holder within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of the attached Conversion Notice from Holder in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement;
(c) failure by the Company for five (5) days after notice to it to comply with any of its other agreements in the Note;
(d) the Company shall: (1) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (2) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, custodian, sequestrator, liquidator or similar official for itself or any of its assets and properties; (3) commence a voluntary case for relief as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code; (4) file with or otherwise submit to any governmental authority any petition, answer or other document seeking: (A) reorganization, (B) an arrangement with creditors or (C) to take advantage of any other present or future applicable law respecting bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution or liquidation; (5) file or otherwise submit any answer or other document admitting or failing to contest the material allegations of a petition or other document filed or otherwise submitted against it in any proceeding under any such applicable law, or (6) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction;
(e) an order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving (in whole or in part) anything specified in Section 3.01(d) hereof, or any receiver, trustee, assignee, custodian, sequestrator, liquidator or other official shall be appointed with respect to the Company, or shall be appointed to take or shall otherwise acquire possession or control of all or a substantial part of the assets and properties of the Company, and any of the foregoing shall continue unstayed and in effect for any period of sixty (60) days;
(f) default shall occur with respect to any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or under any agreement under which such indebtedness may be issued by the Company and such default shall continue for more than the period of grace, if any, therein specified, if the aggregate amount of such indebtedness for which such default shall have occurred exceeds $100,000;
(g) default shall occur with respect to any contractual obligation of the Company under or pursuant to any contract, lease, or other agreement to which the Company is a party and such default shall continue for more than the period of grace, if any, therein specified, if the aggregate amount of the Company’s contractual liability arising out of such default exceeds or is reasonably estimated to exceed $100,000;
(h) final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $100,000 shall be rendered against the Company and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 20 days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed; or
(i) any material breach by the Company of any of its representations or warranties under the Securities Purchase Agreement;
Section 3.02 If any Event of Default occurs, the full principal amount of this Note, together with any other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Commencing five (5) days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, interest on this Note shall begin to accrue at the rate of 15% per annum, or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law. All Notes for which the full amount hereunder shall have been paid in accordance herewith shall promptly be surrendered to or as directed by the Company. The Holder need not provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a Note holder until such time, if any, as the full payment under this Section shall have been received by it. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Article IV.
Section 4.01 Re-issuance of Note. If the Holder elects to convert only a part of the Note, then the Company shall reissue a new Note in the same form as this Note to reflect the new principal amount and the Holder shall return the Note to the Company for cancellation.
Article V.
Section 5.01 Adjustments and Limits on Conversion
(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Note subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Note combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 6.01(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(b) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date.
(c) Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of the Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of shares of Common Stock which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise beneficially owned by such Holder would exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Borrower at the time of conversion. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.
