STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT
 
THIS STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into effective as of the ___th day of ______, 2010, by and among China Agricorp, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), the stockholders of the Company listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (each, a “Pledgor” and collectively, the “Pledgors”), the investors listed on Schedule 2 attached hereto (collectively, the “Secured Parties”), and Robert Brantl, Esq. as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (“Collateral Agent”).

BACKGROUND
 
A.           Each Secured Party entered into a Subscription Agreement (with respect to each such Secured Party, the “Subscription Agreement”) with the Company pursuant to which the Secured Party subscribed to purchase from the Company a 10% convertible promissory note (each, a “Note”).

B.           Each Pledgor owns the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) forth opposite the name of such Pledgor on Schedule 2 (collectively, the “Shares”), and will derive direct and indirect economic benefits from the transactions contemplated under each Subscription Agreement.

C.           As condition to each Secured Party’s obligation to purchase a Note pursuant to its Subscription Agreement, and in consideration of the benefits which will accrue to the Pledgors as a result thereof, each Pledgor has guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Notes pursuant to a Non-Recourse Guaranty, dated the date hereof, in favor of the Secured Parties (the “Guaranty”).

D.    In order to secure the timely payment and performance of all of the Pledgor’s obligations and liabilities under the Guaranty, including, without limitation, all fees, costs, and expenses in connection with any collection actions related thereto (collectively, the “Obligations”), each of the Pledgors desires to grant the Secured Parties a perfected and continuing security interest in such Pledgor’s Shares.
 
 
E.           The continuing Security Interest, as hereinafter defined, in the Shares shall be evidenced by this Agreement.  With respect to the Company and each Secured Party, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in such Secured Party’s Subscription Agreement.
 
 
1

 
 
                  F.           The Secured Parties have appointed the Collateral Agent as representative of and agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of possession of the Shares pledged hereunder.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
AGREEMENT

1. Recitals.  The parties hereto agree that the aforementioned  recitals, together with the definitions set forth therein and in the preamble to this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference.
 
2. Additional Shares.  All references to the Shares shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, distribution, recapitalization or other similar arrangement affecting the Shares after the date of this Agreement.  In the event that a Pledgor receives, or becomes entitled to, any property (whether real or personal, tangible or intangible) in connection with, related to, or in exchange for his Shares in any way, then any such property shall be considered Shares under this Agreement.  Each Pledgor covenants that he shall promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent any such additional Shares received prior to the Termination Date (defined herein).  The Company agrees that, if prior to the Termination Date, it distributes any shares, dividends, or other property to its shareholders, it will deliver any such property due to a Pledgor to the Collateral Agent instead.
 
3. Creation of Security Interest.  Each Pledgor hereby affirms, acknowledges, ratifies, grants and assigns in favor of the Secured Parties a first, prior and sole lien and security interest (the "Security Interest") in such Pledgor’s Shares, in all accessions, substitutions, replacements and proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, whether by law, merger, exchange or otherwise, and in all certificates or other instruments evidencing the same, to secure the Obligations.
 
4.  Perfection of Security Interest.  The Security Interest in the Shares shall be perfected by the Secured Parties, or the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, taking possession of the certificates representing the Shares (the “Certificates”).  Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, each Pledgor is delivering to the Collateral Agent the Certificates evidencing his Shares, accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Parties.

5. Proxy.  Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, whether or not the Shares have been transferred into the name of the Secured Parties, as such Pledgor's proxy and attorney-in-fact with respect to his Shares, with full power to (a) attend meetings of the holders of the Common Stock held after the date of this Agreement, and to vote the Shares at those meetings in such manner as such attorney-in-fact shall, in his sole and absolute discretion, deem appropriate, (b) consent or withhold consent, in the sole and absolute discretion of such attorney-in-fact, to any action for which consent of the shareholders of the Company is or may be necessary or appropriate, and (c) do all things and exercise all rights, powers, privileges  and remedies to which an owner of the Shares would be entitled, giving and granting unto such attorney-in-fact full power of substitution and revocation.  Notwithstanding the provisions contained in the preceding sentence (hereinafter referred to as the "Proxy Rights"), neither the Collateral Agent, nor the Secured Parties, nor any of them, shall have the right to perform, exercise, take or assert any of the Proxy Rights unless and until there shall have occurred an Event of Default (as that term is defined below).  Except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or consensual rights and powers accruing to an owner of the Shares or any part thereof for any purpose.  Each Pledgor hereby revokes all proxies heretofore given and agrees not to grant any proxy to any person or persons with respect to his Shares other than as granted herein for so long as this Agreement is in force.  The appointment of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent as proxy and attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been satisfied.  The Proxy Rights shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Shares on the record books of the Company) by any person (including the Company or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any duty to exercise any Proxy Right or to preserve the same and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or for any delay in doing so.
 
6. Ordinary Care by the Secured Parties.  The Secured Parties and/or the Collateral Agent shall use ordinary care in the custody and preservation of the Shares in their possession.
 
7. Event of Default.  An event of default shall occur upon the happening of any of the following (each, an “Event of Default”):
 
(a) A breach of the Guaranty or this Agreement by a Pledgor  which, if capable of being cured, is not cured within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof to such Pledgor;
 
(b) An Event of Default under the Notes; or
 
(c) The transfer or encumbrance, by any means, of any of the Shares or any interest in the Shares other than in favor of the Secured Parties.

8. Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent, acting on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in him by this Agreement or by law) for the protection and enforcement of the rights of the Secured Parties in respect of the Shares, and shall also be entitled, without limitation, to:
 
(a) at his option, without notice to or demand upon any Pledgor, transfer and register the Shares in his name or in the Secured Parties’ own names (or in the names of their respective nominees), on a pro rata or any other basis agreed to by the Secured Parties, and to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Shares for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations;
 
(b) exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") in effect in the State of New York at the time, including the right to sell the Shares at public or private sale as provided by and in accordance with the UCC;
 
(c) collect, receive and retain all sums owing the Pledgors on the Shares and endorse or execute for such purpose in the name of the Pledgors any instrument of payment or release received with respect thereto, such endorsement and execution to be effective as that of the Pledgors for all purposes, and to collect, receive and retain all dividends and other distributions made on the Shares; and
 
(d) vote any or all of the Shares (whether or not transferred into the name of the Secured Parties) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Shares and otherwise act with respect thereto as though he were the outright owner thereof.
 
9. Covenants of each Pledgor.  During the term of this Agreement:
 
(a) No Pledgor shall sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of, grant an option or other right with respect to, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber his Shares or any interest therein, or contract to do any of the foregoing.
 
(b) No Pledgor shall take any action with respect to his Shares that is inconsistent with the provisions or purpose of this Agreement or that would adversely affect the rights of Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, (i) each Pledgor agrees to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default he will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any or all of the Shares or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and such Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent he lawfully may do so, and (ii) each Pledgor agrees that he will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.

(c) Each Pledgor will, at his expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions as the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent from time to time may reasonably request in order to ensure to the Secured Parties the benefit of the Security Interest in and to the Shares intended to be created by this Agreement, including the filing of any necessary financing statements, which may be filed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party with or (to the extent permitted by law) without the signature of such Pledgor, and will cooperate with the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent, at such Pledgor’s expense, in obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local or foreign law in connection with the Security Interest or any sale or transfer of the Shares.
 
(d) Each Pledgor will defend the title to his Shares and the Security Interest of the Secured Parties in his Shares against the claim of any person or entity, and will maintain and preserve such Security Interest.
 
10. Limited Responsibilities of the Collateral Agent.
 
(a) The rights of the Secured Parties in the Shares may be exercised by the Collateral Agent as agent for Secured Parties.  In such capacity, from time to time and at any time, Collateral Agent may, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, take any and all actions, exercise any and all rights and remedies, give any and all waivers and forbearances, and make any and all determinations and elections that the Secured Parties are entitled to exercise under this Agreement and the Notes.  The Collateral Agent shall exercise his authority herunder within his sole discretion, and shall not be subject to the direction or discretion of any Secured Party.  Each Pledgor will be entitled to rely solely on the actions of Collateral Agent as binding all Secured Parties.
 
(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be a fiduciary of any Secured Party and shall have no obligation to the Secured Parties other than an obligation of ordinary care.  The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to undertake any investigation of facts, notwithstanding the occurrence of evidence of a default in the Obligations, but may rely entirely on the information provided to him by the other parties to this Agreement.
 
(c) The Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on, and shall be protected in acting upon, any document or instrument delivered to him by the Company or by any third party and believed by the Collateral Agent in good faith to be genuine.

(d) The Company agrees to save harmless, defend and indemnify the Collateral Agent against all claims, costs, damages, judgments, attorneys' fees, expenses, obligations, taxes, assessments, liabilities, actions, suits or charges made against the Collateral Agent by reason of any act or omission to act by him hereunder or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby and against any loss he may sustain in carrying out the terms of this Agreement, other than as a result of his gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
(e) The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or obligations under this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein, shall be responsible only for the performance of such duties and obligations, shall not be required to take any action other than in accordance with the terms hereof and shall not be in any manner liable or responsible for any loss or damage arising by reason of any act or omission to act by him hereunder or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, any loss that may occur by reason of forgery, false representations, the exercise of his discretion in any particular manner or for any other reason except for his gross negligence or willful misconduct.  In particular, the Collateral Agent shall incur no liability to any Secured Party by reason of his failure to enforce any remedy hereunder or the manner in which he enforces any remedy hereunder unless his conduct is reckless or he derives a personal benefit from the misconduct.
 
(f) The Collateral Agent shall not be bound by any notice of, or demand with respect to, any waiver, modification, amendment, termination, cancellation, rescission or supersession of this Agreement, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all parties hereto.  In the event of any controversy or dispute arising hereunder or with respect to the construction hereof or any action to be taken by the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall incur no liability from any action or omission to act by him in good faith.  The Collateral Agent shall not be personally liable for any act the Collateral Agent may do or omit to do hereunder as the Collateral Agent while acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the advice of the Collateral Agent’s attorneys-at-law shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.
 
(g) If the Collateral Agent receives a notice from any party that a dispute exists with respect to the delivery and/or ownership or right of possession of the Shares, the Collateral Agent shall retain the Shares in his possession and shall deliver such Shares in accordance with the joint written instructions of the Pledgors and the Secured Parties or a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings with respect to any Shares.
 
(h) The Collateral Agent may resign and be discharged of his duties hereunder at any time by giving written notice to all of the parties hereto.  Such resignation shall take effect twenty (20) days after the giving of such notice or upon the earlier receipt by the Collateral Agent of an instrument of acceptance executed by a successor collateral agent and upon delivery by the Collateral Agent of the Shares to such successor.  The Collateral Agent shall also be discharged of his duties and obligations hereunder upon deposit in a court of competent jurisdiction, as provided in Section 16(a) hereof, of the Shares then held by him hereunder and any other documents, instruments or funds then held by the Collateral Agent hereunder.

(i) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to employ such legal counsel and other experts as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary to advise the Collateral Agent in connection with the Collateral Agent’s duties hereunder, may rely upon the advice of such counsel, and may pay such counsel reasonable compensation therefore.  The Company shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for all such expenses upon invoice.
