The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if such Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such Investor. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
 
(b) Investment Intent. Such Investor is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to such Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Investor to hold the Shares for any period of time. Such Investor is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Investor does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Shares.
 
(c) Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

Such Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

(b) Certificates evidencing the Shares will contain the following legend, until such time as they are not required under Section 4.1(c):
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

20


 
The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c), any Shares subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall continue to bear the legend set forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4.1(a).

If an Investor shall make a sale or transfer of Shares either (x) pursuant to Rule 144 or (y) pursuant to a registration statement and in each case shall have delivered to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent the certificate representing Shares containing a restrictive legend which are the subject of such sale or transfer and a representation letter in customary form (the date of such sale or transfer and Share delivery being the “Share Delivery Date”) and (1) the Company shall fail to deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive or other legends by the third Trading Day following the Share Delivery Date and (2) following such third Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date and prior to the time such Shares are received free from restrictive legends, the Investor, or any third party on behalf of such Investor, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such Shares (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor (for costs incurred either directly by such Investor or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which the total purchase price paid for Common Stock as a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions, if any) exceed the proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale to which such Buy-In relates. The Investor shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In.
 
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement) covering such Shares is then effective, an Investor who holds any such Shares may request the removal of the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) from the stock certificate representing such Shares by delivering to the Company a written request for the removal of such legend, together with (i) a certification to the Company that such Investor will only sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement or Rule 144 in accordance with applicable law and (ii) an agreement of such Investor, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to indemnify the Company for any losses or expenses the Company may reasonably incur as a result of any breach by such Investor of the certification referred to in this Section 4.1(d)(i). Upon receipt of any such written request from an Investor, the Company shall promptly authorize and direct the transfer agent of the Company to promptly reissue to such Investor upon receipt from such Investor of a certificate or certificates representing such Shares containing a restrictive legend which are the subject of such written request, a new stock certificate for the same number of such Shares which does not contain any restrictive legend.

Internal controls 

The Company has completed the re-engineering of the internal control system and is currently test-running the system. The Company has not yet evaluated its internal controls over financial reporting in order to allow management to report on, and the independent auditors to attest to, its internal controls over financial reporting, as will be required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company plans to perform the testing of the operating effectiveness of controls before December 31, 2007 in an effort to comply with the management assessment certification requirements of Section 404, which will initially apply to us as of December 31, 2007.
 
SCHEDULE 3.1(r)(1)

Financial Statements

1. As disclosed in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company’s consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2005 was restated due to an error with respect to the foreign exchange rate used in the calculation of foreign exchange translation gain (loss) as part of other comprehensive income (loss). The Company is also in the process of reviewing the calculation of foreign exchange translation gain (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2005. Once it has completed the review process,  it may need to restate the financial statements to the extent that it is necessary and material.

2. In the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 12, 2005 and its Registration Statement on Form SB-2, which was declared effective August 2, 2006, it disclosed that according to its internal market surveys based on information provided by its customers and information collected from its competitors, it believed the estimated consumption of CCA in the U.S. has averaged approximately 30,000 tons per year in recent years. This and certain other market information may have been over-estimated and therefore, inaccurate.
