or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise. The Company will not, and will not permit any

     (b) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall maintain in an escrow account

Agreement), (i) at all times after the date of transfer of the applicable funds as contemplated by
Section 1.2.4 of the Note Exchange Agreement until April 1, 2009, an amount equal to the amount

- 3 -

     (c) So long as any Notes are outstanding, (i) the Company shall own 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock or equity securities of Sunstone China, and (ii) Sunstone China

     (d) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not declare or pay any cash
dividend or distribution without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest.



     4. Registration of Notes. The Company shall register the Notes upon records to be
maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Note Register”) in the name of each record holder
thereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Note as
the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any payment of interest or principal hereon, and for
all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.



     5. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. The Company shall register the transfer
of any portion of this Note in the Note Register upon surrender of this Note to the Company at its
address for notice set forth herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Note, in
substantially the form of this Note (any such new Note, a “New Note”), evidencing the portion of
this Note so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Note evidencing the remaining
portion of this Note not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The
acceptance of the New Note by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such
transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Note. This Note is exchangeable
for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge or other fee will be imposed in
connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Company shall not be required at any time to register any transfer to a
transferee and any transfer shall be void and of no force or effect unless the Note has been
registered under the Securities Act or the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to it stating that such transfer is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act.



     6. Prepayment.



     (a) At any time on or following a Change of Control and delivery of a written notice to the
Company (the date such notice is delivered to the Company, the “Notice Date”), the Noteholder shall
be entitled to demand prepayment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this
Note plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon for an amount in cash equal to the Prepayment
Price.



     (b) The Prepayment Price shall be due on the fifteenth Business Day immediately following the
Notice Date. If any portion of the Prepayment Price shall not be timely paid by the Company,
interest shall accrue thereon at the rate of 18% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law, whichever is less) until the Prepayment Price plus all such interest is paid in
full, which payment shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty.

     7. Events of Default.



     (a) “Event of Default” means any one of the following events (whatever the reason and whether
it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or
governmental body):




     (i) (A) any default in the payment of any principal amount of the Notes, as and when
the same becomes due and payable (whether on a date specified for the payment of interest or
the date on which the obligations under the Note mature or by acceleration, redemption,
prepayment or otherwise), (B) any default in the payment of interest in respect of any
Notes, no later than the third Business Day after such interest become due and payable
(whether on a date specified for the payment of interest or the date on which the

(C) any default by the Company in the performance of its covenants set forth in paragraphs
3(b) or 3(c) of this Note or (D) any default by the Company in the performance of any of its

which defaults remain uncured fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company receives written
notice thereof from the Holder or a representative of the Holder;




     (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary defaults in any of its obligations under any other
note or any mortgage, credit agreement or other facility, indenture agreement, factoring
agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be
secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for borrowed money or money due under any long term
leasing or factoring arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary in an amount exceeding
$1,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or is hereafter created, and such default
results in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on
which it would otherwise become due and payable;




     (iii) any default by the Company of any of its obligations pursuant to the Note
Exchange Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Interest Escrow Agreement or the Share Escrow
Agreement; or




     (iv) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event.



     (b) At any time or times that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (1) the full
unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with interest and other amounts owing in respect
thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become immediately due and payable in cash, and (2)
while a non-payment default is continuing, the Note shall bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum
(but in no event in excess of the maximum rate permitted under applicable law).



     (c) In connection with any Event of Default, the Holder need not provide and the Company
hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may
immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and
remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Any



- 5 -









 







such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment
hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereto. Upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event, all amounts pursuant to
Section 7(b) shall immediately become due and payable in full in cash, without any further action
by the Holder.



     8. Conversion.



     (a) Conversion into Common Shares. At any time after May 15, 2009, the Holder shall
have the option to convert, as a whole or in part, up to the entire amount outstanding under this
Note (including the accrued but unpaid interest) (the “Conversion Amount”) into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common
Shares”) from time to time at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustments
as set forth in Section 9, equal to $5.00; provided that, if the Company issues
Common Shares in one or more offerings to investors (other than any offerings following the closing
of the Qualified Offering) on or prior to September 15, 2009 (any such issuance, an “Offering”),
the Conversion Price shall equal the lesser of (i) $5.00 or (ii) 115% of the lowest price per
Common Share for which the Company sells Common Shares in any Offering. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, if the Conversion Price would result, upon conversion by all of the Notes on the
date such Conversion Price is established, in the issuance of Common Shares in amount equal to or
greater than 20.00% of the outstanding Common Shares, the Conversion Price shall be increased to
such amount (subject to rounding) as would result in the issuance, upon conversion by all of the
Notes on the date such Conversion Price is established, of Common Shares in an aggregate amount
equal to 19.99% of the outstanding Common Shares. The number of Common Shares issuable upon
conversion of any portion of the Conversion Amount shall be determined by dividing (x) such portion
of the Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price in effect on the date of receipt of the
Conversion Notice by the Company from the Holder pursuant to Section 8(b).



     (b) Mechanics and Effect of Conversion. To convert the Note, a Holder must (a)
deliver to the Company a duly signed and completed Conversion Notice set forth in Exhibit A hereto,
(b) surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company, (c) deliver to the
Company appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company and (d) pay any
tax or duty required to effect the conversion. At its expense, the Company shall, as soon as
practicable following any conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 8, and in any event
within three Business Days of such surrender, issue and deliver to the Holder at such principal
office a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of such Common Shares to which the
Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing such legends as are required by applicable
securities laws and stock exchange regulations or policies, as required in the opinion of counsel
to the Company), together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled
upon such conversion under the terms of this Note. Issuance of this Note shall constitute full
authority to the Company’s officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates
to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of
this Note. On partial conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder a new Note
having identical terms to this Note, except that the principal amount thereof shall equal the
difference between (i) the principal amount of this Note immediately prior



- 6 -









 







to such conversion minus (ii) the portion of such principal amount converted into Common
Shares.



     (c) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose
of effecting the conversion of this Note, such number of its Common Shares as shall from time to
time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note; and if at any time the number of
authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note
and the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary
to increase its authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be
sufficient for such purpose. This Note is being issued, and the Common Shares issuable upon
conversion of this Note will be issued, in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to
Sections 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the certificates evidencing such
Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note will be unrestricted and without any
restrictive legend imprinted thereon, subject to receipt of an appropriate non-affiliate
representation letter executed by the Noteholder.



     (d) Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the Company
shall (i) not be obliged to reimburse, indemnify, make whole or otherwise pay to the Holder, and
(ii) be entitled to deduct and withhold from all amounts payable pursuant to this Note, any amounts
required by applicable law to be deducted or withheld for any and all taxes, so long as the Company
promptly pays the full amount deducted or withheld to the applicable governmental entity in
accordance with applicable law. Any such amounts deducted and not owed or paid to the applicable
governmental entity in accordance with applicable law shall be returned to the Holder promptly.
The Holder shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company to enable it to
determine whether taxes must be withheld or deducted and the amount of such withholding or
deduction.



     9. Conversion Price Adjustments.



     (a) Adjustment for Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from
time to time after the date hereof effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately before that stock split shall be proportionately decreased,
and, conversely, if the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof
combine the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in
effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under
this Section 9(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or
combination becomes effective.



     (b) Adjustment for Common Shares Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any
time or from time to time after the date hereof issues, or fixes a record date for the
determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution
payable solely or in part in additional Common Shares or other instruments or rights convertible
into Common Shares, in each such event the Conversion Price that is then in effect shall be
decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the
close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a
fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding



- 7 -









 







immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date,
and (ii) the denominator of which is the sum of the total number of Common Shares issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record
date plus the number of Common Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution,
including Common Shares to be issued under other instruments or rights convertible into Common
Shares; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or
if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefore, the Conversion Price shall be
recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 9(b) to reflect the actual payment of
such dividend or distribution.



     (c) Adjustment for Reorganization. If at any time or from time to time after the date
hereof, there is a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger
involving the Company in which the Common Shares are converted into or exchanged for securities,
cash or other property (collectively, a “Reorganization”), then, following such Reorganization, the
Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of this Note the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to
such Reorganization if such conversion had taken place immediately prior to such Reorganization.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if (x) there shall occur any Reorganization in which Common
Shares are converted into or exchanged for anything other than solely equity securities, and (y)
the common stock of the acquiring or surviving company is publicly traded, then, as part of such
Reorganization, (i) the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the conversion of
this Note such number of shares of common stock of the acquiring or surviving company as is
determined by multiplying (A) the number of Common Shares receivable upon conversion of this Note
immediately prior to such Reorganization by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the fair
market value, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, per Common
Share as of the effective date of such Reorganization, and the denominator of which is the fair
market value per share of common stock of the acquiring or surviving company as of the effective
date of such transaction, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, and
(ii) the conversion price per share of common stock of the acquiring or surviving company shall be
the Conversion Price divided by the fraction referred to in clause (B) above. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 9 with
respect to the rights and interests of the Holder, to the end that the provisions of this Section 9
(including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon
conversion of this Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of
this Note.



     (d) Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of any
Conversion Price for the number of Common Shares or other securities issuable upon conversion of
this Note, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to compute such
adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Note and prepare a certificate
showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail,
postage prepaid, to the Holder at the Holder’s address as shown in the Company’s books. The
certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required
to be made unless it would result in an increase or decrease of at least one cent, but any



- 8 -









 







adjustments not made because of this sentence shall be carried forward and taken into account
in any subsequent adjustment otherwise required hereunder.



     (e) No Impairment. The Company shall not amend its Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws or participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action for the sole purpose of
avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or
performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all
such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights
of the Holder of this Note against dilution or other impairment as provided herein. If the Company
takes any action in breach of this Note, the Holder shall be entitled to any and all remedies
available at law or in equity.



     (f) Fractional Share. No fractional share shall be issuable upon conversion of this
Note and the number of shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. If
the conversion of this Note shall result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Company shall
eliminate such fractional share by paying the Holder an amount computed by multiplying such
fraction by the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the
Company, of a full share.



     10. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder
shall be in writing in the English language and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest
of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the
facsimile number specified in this Section 8 prior to 5:00 p.m. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time)

Business Day, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally
recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice
is required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, to

number appearing on the Company’s Noteholder records or such other address or facsimile number as
the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section 10.



     11. Miscellaneous.



     (a) Binding Nature of Note. This Note shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Company shall not be
permitted to assign this Note.



     (b) Limitation of Rights. Subject to Section 11(a), nothing in this Note shall be
construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company and the Holder any legal or
equitable right, remedy or cause under this Note.
