SIX PERCENT (6%) CONVERTIBLE NOTE

DATED May 29, 2013

THIS NOTE (the “Note”) is a duly authorized Convertible Note of China Logistics Group, Inc., a FLORIDA corporation (the “Company”).

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay Magna Group, LLC (the “Holder”), the principal sum of $118,030.08 (the “Principal Amount”) or such lesser principal amount following the conversion or conversions of this Note in accordance with Paragraph 2 (the “Outstanding Principal Amount”) on April 8, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount (“Interest”) in a lump sum on the Maturity Date, at the rate of six percent (6%) per Annum (the “Rate”) from the date of issuance.

Accrual of Interest shall commence on the date of this Note and continue until the Company repays or provides for repayment in full the Outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued but unpaid Interest. Accrued and unpaid Interest shall bear Interest at the Rate until paid, compounded monthly. The Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is payable on the Maturity Date in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time. The Company may prepay principal and interest on this Note at any time before the Maturity Date.

The Company will pay the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note on the Maturity Date, free of any withholding or deduction of any kind (subject to the provision of paragraph 2 below), to the Holder as of the Maturity Date and addressed to the Holder at the address appearing on the Note Register.

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

All payments on account of the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all other amounts payable under this Note (whether made by the Company or any other person) to or for the account of the Holder hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction by reason of any present and future income, stamp, registration and other taxes, levies, duties, cost, and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, together with interest thereon and penalties with respect thereto, if any, on or in respect of this Note (such taxes, levies, duties, costs and charges being herein collectively called “Taxes”).

2. The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after the issuance of this Note, to convert all or any lesser portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid Interest into Common Stock at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) for each share of Common Stock equal to a price which is a 30% discount from the lowest two (2) daily VWAP in the ten (10) days prior to the day that the Holder requests conversion, unless otherwise modified by mutual agreement between the Parties (the “Conversion Price”). If the Issuer's Common stock is chilled for deposit at DTC and/or becomes chilled at any point while this Agreement remains outstanding, an additional 8% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price defined hereof. The Issuer will not be obligated to issue fractional Conversion Shares. The Holder may convert this Note into Common Stock by surrendering the Note to the Company, with the form of conversion notice attached to the Note as Exhibit B, executed by the Holder of the Note evidencing such Holder's intention to convert the Note. Additionally, in no event shall the Conversion Price be less than $0.00004. If the Borrower is unable to issue any shares under this provision due to the fact that there is an insufficient number of authorized and unissued shares available, the Holder promises not to force the Borrower to issue these shares or trigger an Event of Default, provided that Borrowers takes immediate steps required to get the appropriate level of approval from shareholders or the board of directors, where applicable to raise the number of authorized shares to satisfy the Notice of Conversion.

The Company will not issue fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of Common Stock on conversion, but the Company will round the number of shares of Common Stock issuable up to the nearest whole share. The date on which a Notice of Conversion is given shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder notifies the Company of its intention to so convert by delivery, by facsimile transmission or otherwise, of a copy of the Notice of Conversion.

Notice of Conversion may be sent by email to the Company, attn: Mr. Wei Chen, CEO. The Holder will deliver this Note, together with original executed copy of the Notice of Conversion, to the Company within three (3) business days following the Conversion Date. At the Maturity Date, the Company will pay any unconverted Outstanding Principal Amount and accrued Interest thereon, at the option of the Company, in either (a) cash or (b) Common Stock valued at a price equal to the Conversion Price determined as if the Note was converted in accordance with its terms into Common Stock on the Maturity Date.

No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to the payment of the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note at the Maturity Date, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. This Note and all other Notes now or hereafter issued on similar terms are direct obligations of the Company. In the event of any liquidation, reorganization, winding up or dissolution, repayment of this Note shall not be subordinate in any respect to any other indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Note or hereafter incurred by the Company.

Such non-subordination shall extend without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to all indebtedness of the Company to banks, financial institutions; other secured lenders, equipment lessors and equipment finance companies, but shall exclude trade debts. Any warrants, options or other securities convertible into stock of the Company issued before the date hereof shall rank pari passu with the Note in all respects.

If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Note, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note is changed into the same or different numbers of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization or otherwise, then in each such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert the Note into the kind of security receivable in such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of Common Stock, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In such event, the formulae set forth herein for conversion and redemption shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change in number of shares or, if shares of a new class of stock are issued, to reflect the market price of the class or classes of stock issued in connection with the above described transaction.

6. Prepayment. At any time that the Note remains outstanding, upon three business days’ written notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) to the Holder, the Company may pay 150% of the entire Outstanding Principal Amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid Interest.

7. Anti-Dilution. If, at any time the Note is outstanding, the Issuer issues Common Stock, or grants options or warrants, at a price per share that is less than the Conversion Price on the date of such issuance or grant, the Conversion Price will be adjusted to such lower price for the remainder of the term of the Note.

8. The Company covenants that until all amounts due under this Note are paid in full, by conversion or otherwise, unless waived by the Holder or subsequent Holder in writing, the Company shall: give prompt written notice to the Holder of any Event of Default or of any other matter which has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in a materially adverse change in its financial condition or operations; give prompt notice to the Holder of any claim, action or proceeding which, in the event of any unfavorable outcome, would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) on the financial condition of the Company; at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note into Common Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note into Common Stock.

9. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence from the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note,

(i) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, upon provision of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and/or its transfer agent, or

(ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, then the Company at its expense will execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note, dated the date of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note, and evidencing the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

10. If any term in this Note is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, then the entire Note shall be rescinded, the consideration proffered by the Holder for the remaining Debt acquired by the Holder not converted by the Holder in accordance with this Note shall be returned in its entirety and any Conversion Shares in the possession or control of the Investor shall be returned to the Issuer.

11. The Note and the Agreement between the Company and the Holder (including all Exhibits thereto) constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the Company and the Holder with respect to the subject hereof. Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.

12. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida.

13. Legal Opinion. The Issuer’s counsel has provided an opinion regarding the applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Note, which provides that upon conversion at any time following the date hereof, the shares received as a result of the conversion shall be issued unrestricted in accordance with the appropriate exemption. If the Issuer declines to provide, or requests that Investor counsel prepare an opinion, the Issuer agrees to bear the cost of the letter.

14. Conditions. The Issuer acknowledges the Investor’s participation in respect to this Agreement is on a conditions permitting basis. In the event that the transaction risk profile substantially changes, market pricing or implied volatility substantially change, due diligence raises concerns or any other conditions material to the successful closing of the transaction change, the Investor reserves the right to terminate the Agreement at any time before delivering to the Non Affiliate Debt holder the cash consideration as described hereof.

15. Post-Closing Expenses. The Issuer will bear any and all miscellaneous expenses that may arise as a result of this Agreement post-closing. These expenses include, but are not limited to, the cost of legal opinion production, transfer agent fees, equity issuance fees, etc. The failure to pay any and all Post-Closing Expenses will be deemed a default as described in Section 5.1.10 herein.

16. Miscellaneous

All executed counterparts shall constitute one Agreement not withstanding that all signatories are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart. Facsimile and scanned signatures are considered original signatures.
