MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

September 1, 2010

 
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), dated September 1, 2010, is by and among the following parties:
 
·     
Titanium Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (“TTNUF”);
 
·     
Crescent International Ltd. (“Crescent”), Chestnut Ridge Partners, LP (“Chestnut Ridge”) and Whalehaven Capital Fund Limited (“Whalehaven”, each, a “Holder”, and collectively, Crescent, Chestnut Ridge and Whalehaven, the “Holders”);
 
·     
Zili Industrial Ltd. (“ZIL”);
 
·     
Huabao Asia Ltd. (“UAL”); and
 
·     
Dill Dill Carr Stonbraker & Hutchings, P.C. (“Escrow Agent”)
 
 (except for the Escrow Agent, each individually, a “Party”, and collectively, the “Parties”). The purpose of this MOU is to set forth the general structure of a transaction contemplated by the Parties with respect to the future capitalization and business operations of TTNUF.  This MOU is a binding agreement, enforceable by and against each of the Parties from and after execution hereof by all such Parties.

RECITALS

1.     
TTNUF’s authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, US$0.01 par value.  As of the date of this MOU, 51,644,399 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding.
 
2.     
On April 3, 2007, TTNUF sold Series A 8% Senior Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of US$1,450,000 to the Holders.  TTNUF has failed to pay the Debentures, which were due on April 3, 2010, or accrued interest thereon.  The Debentures were originally convertible into shares of TTNUF common stock at a conversion price of US$0.30 per share and are now convertible at a price of US$0.20 per share.
 
3.     
Proceeds from the Debentures were used for the operations of Titanium Technology Limited (“TTL”), TTNUF’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
4.     
TTNUF requires new products and services to sell and working capital in order to remain viable.  ZIL has identified a new business that can be acquired by TTNUF and has committed to provide working capital.
 
5.     
The Parties believe that settling with the Holders so that TTNUF can proceed with the acquisition of a new business is in their collective best interest.
 
6.     
This MOU sets forth the basis for an agreement among the Parties.

Non-Performance.  If any Party shall fail to deposit its item in escrow by the Escrow Date or if TTNUF shall fail to effect the Consolidation and deposit stock certificates evidencing the shares (as required by Paragraph E above) by November 30, 2010 (“Non-Performance”), then the Escrow Agent shall return the item to the Party that deposited such item, subject to the provisions of Paragraph H below.
 
H)
