In order to effect an Conversion, a Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall: (i) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (Attention: Secretary) and (ii) surrender or cause to be surrendered the original certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock being converted (the "Series A Preferred Stock Certificates"), duly endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice of Conversion as soon as practicable thereafter to the Corporation. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion from a Holder, the Corporation shall promptly
3
send, via facsimile, a confirmation to such Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received, the date upon which the Corporation expects to deliver the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Corporation regarding the conversion.

B hereof.
(i)
Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon the surrender of Series A Preferred Stock Certificates accompanied by a Notice of Conversion, the Corporation (itself, or through its transfer agent, as appropriate) shall, no later than the later of (a) the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Conversion Date and (b) the Business Day immediately following the date of such surrender (or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of indemnity pursuant to Article XI B) (the "Delivery Period"), issue and deliver (i e., deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service portage prepaid) to the Holder or its nominee (x) that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted and (y) a certificate representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock not being con verted, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be a record owner of that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of those shares of Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the Conversion Notice as at the date of such Conversion Notice. In addition, if the Corporation's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Corporation ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend (pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the Holder thereof is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon (pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Corporation shall cause its transfer agent to promptly electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee with DTC through its Dep osit Withdrawal Agent Commission system ("DTC Transfer"). If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Corporation shall deliver as provided above to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion. Further, a Holder may instruct the Corporation to deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.
(ii)
Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all taxes that may be imposed upon it respect to the issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(iii)
No Fractional Shares. If any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock (aggregating all shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to a given Notice of Conversion), such fractional share shall be payable in cash based upon the Conversion Price per share, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be the next lower whole number of shares. If the Corporation elects not to, or is unable to, make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.
(iv)
Conversion Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to a conversion, the Corporation shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock in
4
accordance with subparagraph (i) above as are not disputed. If such dispute involves the calculation of the Conversion Price, and such dispute is not promptly resolved by discussion between the relevant Holder and the Corporation, the Corporation and the Holder shall submit their disputed calculations to an independent outside accountant via facsimile within three Business Days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion. The accountant, at the Corporation's sole expense, shall promptly audit the calculations and notify the Corporation and the Holder of the results no later than three Business Days from the date it receives the disputed calculations. The accountant's calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. The Corporation shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with subparagraph (i) above,
(v)
Payment of Accrued Amounts. Upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, all amounts then accrued or payable on such shares under this Certificate of Designation (including, without limitation, all Dividends) or the Registration Rights Agreement through and including the Conversion Date shall be paid by the Corporation in cash or at the Corporation's option in stock, or, in the case of any Dividend, in the manner described in Article III, In the event that the Corporation elects to effect a payment-in-kind, the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock due shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
All Amounts Accrued or Payable
Conversion Price
C.
Limitations on Conversion.
(i)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate, at no time may Vision Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. and/or Vision Opportunity China LP (individually and collectively, Vision) convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would cause the number of shares of Common Stock owned by Vision at such time to exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by Vision and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in Vision, its affiliates, any investment manager having discretionary investment authority over the accounts or assets of Vision, or any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with Visions for purposes of Section 13(d) and Section 16 of the Exchange Act, beneficially owning (a s determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that upon Vision providing the Corporation with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to this certificate) (the Waiver Notice) that Vision would like to waive this Section C(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, this Section C(a) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Series A Preferred Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice.
(ii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate, at no time may a Holder of Series A Preferred Stock (other than Vision for purposes of this Section C(ii)) convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would cause the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder at such time to exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder, its affiliates, any investment manager having discretionary investment authority over the accounts or assets of such Holder, or any other
5
persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holders for purposes of Section 13(d) and Section 16 of the Exchange Act, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that upon a Holder of Series A Preferred Stock providing the Corporation with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to this certificate) (the Waiver Notice) that such Holder would like to waive this Section C(b) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, this Section C(b) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Series A Preferred Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice.
V. RESERVATION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
A
Reserved Amount. On or prior to the Issuance Date, the Corporation shall reserve not less than 15,225,000 shares of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (including any Dividend payable thereon), and, thereafter, the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock so reserved (the "Reserved Amount") shall at all times be sufficient to provide for the full conversion of all of the Series A Preferred Stock (including any Dividend payable thereon) outstanding at the current Conversion Price thereof, and any anticipated adjustments to such Conversion Price.
B
Increases to Reserved Amount. During the period that the Corporation remains privately held and not listed on any recognized stock exchange in the United States or abroad or the OTC Bulletin Board, the Corporation shall, twice annually, review the Reserved Amount for any stock splits, or dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, or similar situations to determine whether the Reserved Amount needs to be increased
VI. RANK
All shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to the Corporation's Common Stock and any other class of securities which is specifically designated as junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (collectively, with the Common Stock, the "Junior Securities"); (ii) senior to or pari passu with any other class or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking, by its terms, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Pari Passu Securities"); and (iii) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created (with the written consent of the Majority Holders obtained in accordance with Article IX hereof) specifically ranking, by its terms, senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Senior Securit ies"), in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.
VII. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
A.
In the event of a merger, sale (of substantially all assets or stock), any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, either (i) after any distribution or payment on Senior Securities, (ii) simultaneous with any distribution or payment on Pari Passu Securities, and (iii) before any distribution or payment shall be made to the Holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Securities, each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount (the "Liquidation Preference") equal to (i) aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then
6
outstanding multiplied by its Stated Value per share; and (ii) any accrued but unpaid Dividends. If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to generate cash sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference, then the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably (together with holders of any Pari Passu Securities) in any distribution of cash generated by such assets in accordance with the respective amounts that would have been payable in such distribution as if the amounts to which the Holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled were paid in full.
VIII. ADJUSTMENTS
The Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
A.
Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Corporation at any time combines (by any reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
B.
Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying a number equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Conversion Price.
C .
Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of the Corporation with, or merger of the Corporation into any other corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Corporation, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to acquire and receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquir able and receivable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken place. In any such case, the Corporation will make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Article VIII hereof will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Article VIII and the obligations to deliver to the Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to acquire.
7
D.
Distribution of Assets. In case the Corporation shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (including cash) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise, then, after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such distribution (on an as converted basis, as though all Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the dividend declaration date), the Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock for the purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder had the Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitle d to such distribution.
E.
Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time when any Series A Preferred Stocks are issued and outstanding, the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with this Article VIII is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a Dilutive Issuance), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, plus (y) the quotient of the aggregate consideration, calculated as set forth in Article VIII, received by the Corporation upon such Dilutive Issuance divided by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Dilutive Issuance, and (ii) the denominator of which is the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below) immediately after the Dilutive Issuance; provided that only one adjustment will be made for each Dilutive Issuance. The term Common Stock Deemed Outstanding shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding (not including shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Corporation), plus (i) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Options, as of the date of such issuance or grant of such Options, if any, and (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, if any. No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
F.
Effect on Conversion Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price, the following will be applicable:
(i)
Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Corporation in any manner issues or grants any warrants (including the Warrants issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2008), rights or options, whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock (such rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as Options) or and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options less than the Conversion Price on the date of issuance or grant of such Options, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options will, as of the date of the issuance or grant of such Options, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the
8
Corporation as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities (as hereinafter defined) issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.
(ii)
Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any other series or classes of Preferred Stock or other securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (Convertible Securities), whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price on the date of issuance, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sen tence, the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iii)
Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If there is a change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or s old.
(iv)
Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a greater number of shares, then, after such date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.
9
(v)
Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Conversion Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
(vi)
Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor for purposes of the holders Note will be the amount received by the Corporation therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Corporation in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any acquisition, merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
(G)
Exceptions to Adjustments. No adjustment to the Conversion Price or Conversion Shares will be made (A) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock or Options or Convertible Securities to employees of the Corporation pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; or (B) upon the exercise of Options previously issued (subject to the limitations on Options issued or issuable to the Management Group as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or (C) the issuance of shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Options in connection with any merger with any other Person, or as full or partial consideration for the acquisition of the securities or assets of any other Person, whether by merger, tender offer, asset purchase, stock purchase, or like combination or consolidation (a Busi ness Combination).
(H)
Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which requires any adjustment of the Conversion Price, then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall give notice thereof to the Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, which notice shall state the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease in the number of Class A Conversion Shares purchasable at such price upon exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation.
(I)
Minimum Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Conversion Price in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which,
10
together with any adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Conversion Price.
(J)
No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, but the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the average Market Price per share of the Common Stock for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to the date of such exercise.
(K)
Other Notices. In case at any time:
(i)
the Corporation shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution (including dividends or distributions payable in cash out of retained earnings) to the holders of the Common Stock;
(ii)
the Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;
(iii)
there shall be any capital reorganization of the Corporation, or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into, or sale of all or substantially all its assets to, another corporation or entity;
(iv)
there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;
