Nordic Turbines, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for value received, promises to pay to the order of NewMargin Growth Fund, L.P. (the “Holder”), the sum of $2,500,000, or the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all amounts outstanding hereunder, whichever is less (the "Principal"), plus simple interest thereon from the date first set forth above until paid at an annual interest rate equal to the lower of six percent (6%) or the lowest rate permissible by law, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 below.  Any remaining principal and interest hereof will be paid or converted pursuant to the terms hereof or under the Agreement.
 
This Note amends and restates, and supersedes the terms and conditions of that certain convertible promissory note dated July 22, 2009 between the Company and Holder.  This Note is issued by the Company in connection with that certain Agreement dated as of July 20, 2009 and amended July 31, 2009, among Luckcharm Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Luckcharm”), Wuhan Guoce Nordic New Energy Co., Ltd., a People’s Republic of China company (“GC Nordic”), the Company, Ceyuan Ventures II, L.P., Ceyuan Ventures Advisors Fund II, LLC and Holder (the “Agreement”).  This Note incorporates by reference all the terms of the Agreement.  The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

1.2           “Holder” will mean any person who will at the time be the registered holder of this Note.

2.1           The Company has agreed to loan Luckcharm the principal amount of $2,500,000 on or before July 24, 2009 in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.  As a matter of convenience, the Holder will wire transfer the Principal directly to Luckcharm on the date of issuance of this Note.
 
2.2           Upon the closing a merger transaction among the Company or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Luckcharm and GC Nordic (the “Merger”), the outstanding Principal and accrued but unpaid interest thereon (the “Debt”) will automatically and without any action on the part of the Holder convert into shares of common stock of the Company based on a per share conversion price of $0.80 (“Conversion Price”).
 
 
 

 
 
2.3           In the event of conversion, the Holder will surrender the original copy of this Note for conversion at the principal office of the Company at the time of such closing.  Holder agrees to execute all necessary documents in connection with the conversion of this Note, including a definitive stock purchase agreement.  If upon such conversion of this Note a fraction of a share would result, then the Company will round up to the nearest whole share.
 
2.4           In the event the Merger or similar transaction fails to occur among the Company, Luckcharm and GC Nordic within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date hereof, Holder agrees to convert the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and forgive and cancel this Note, and undertake all action and execute all necessary documents required to accomplish the intent of the parties under the Agreement.
 
3.           Issuance of Consideration on Conversion.  As soon as practicable after conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 2 and receipt of the original Note and related documents, but in not event later than five (5) business days, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of securities to which the Holder will be entitled on such conversion (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company), together with any other securities and property, if any, to which the Holder is entitled on such conversion under the terms of this Note.
 
4.           Adjustment Provisions.  The number and character of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of this Note and the Conversion Price therefor, are subject to adjustment upon occurrence of the following events:
 
4.1           Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, etc.  The Conversion Price of this Note and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall each be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of common stock.
 
4.2           Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger.  In the event (a) of any reorganization of the Company, (b) the Company consolidates with or merges into another entity, (c) the Company sells all or substantially all of its assets to another entity and then distributes the proceeds to its shareholders, or (d) the Company issues or otherwise sells securities representing more than 50% of the voting power of the Company in a single or series of related transactions immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of related transaction (each of such events shall be referred to herein as a “Liquidation Event”), then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon the conversion of this Note at any time after the consummation of any Liquidation Event shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the conversion of this Note prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Liquidation Event if the Holder had converted this Note immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Note, and the successor or purchasing entity in a Liquidation Event (if other than the Company) shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement hereto acknowledging such entity’s obligations under this Note.

4.3           No Change Necessary.  The form of this Note need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Conversion Price or in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon its conversion.
 
5.           Representations and Acknowledgments of the Holder.  The Holder hereby represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that:
 
5.1           Investment.  The Holder is acquiring this Note and the securities issuable upon conversion of this Note (together, the “Securities”) for the Holder’s own account, and not directly or indirectly for the account of any other person.  The Holder is acquiring the Securities for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and any applicable state law regulating securities.
 
5.2           Access to Information.  The Holder has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, appropriate executive officers of the Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  The Holder has had access to such financial and other information as is necessary in order for the Holder to make a fully informed decision as to investment in the Company, and has had the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify any of such information to which the Holder has had access.
 
5.3           Pre-Existing Relationship.  The Holder further represents and warrants that the Holder has such business or financial expertise as to be able to protect the Holder’s own interests in connection with the purchase of the Securities.
 
5.4           Speculative Investment.  The Holder’s investment in the Company represented by the Securities is highly speculative in nature and is subject to a high degree of risk of loss in whole or in part; the amount of such investment is within the Holder’s risk capital means and is not so great in relation to the Holder’s total financial resources as would jeopardize the financial condition of the Holder in the event such investment were lost in whole or in part.
 
5.5           Unregistered Securities.
 
(a)           The Holder must bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because the Securities have not been registered under the Act and therefore cannot and will not be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.  The Company has made no representations, warranties or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the Act, including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act will become available.
 
(b)           Transfer of the Securities has not been registered or qualified under any applicable state law regulating securities and therefore the Securities cannot and will not be sold unless they are subsequently registered or qualified under any such act or an exemption therefrom is available.  The Company has made no representations, warranties or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from any such act will become available.

5.6           Accredited Investor.  The Holder presently qualifies as an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Act.
 
6.           Miscellaneous.
 
6.1           Waiver and Amendment.  Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified only upon the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
 
6.2           Restrictions on Transfer.  This Note may only be transferred in compliance with applicable state and federal laws.  All rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder will be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, and administrators of the parties.
 
6.3           Company Representation.  The Company represents to the Holder that the Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, authorized to exercise all its corporate powers, rights and privileges, and in good standing in the State of Nevada and has the corporate power and corporate authority to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted; all corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors, and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery, and performance of all obligations under this Note have been taken; this Note constitutes a legally binding and valid obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other laws or court decisions relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and such enforcement may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.
 
6.4           No Assignment.  Holder may not transfer or assign all or any part of this Note except upon prior written notice to the Company and with the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; except that Holder may transfer this Note or part thereof to any of its affiliates.
 
6.5           Governing Law.  This Note will be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to contracts between Nevada residents wholly to be performed in Nevada.
