Payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public or private debts.  This Note was issued pursuant to the provisions of the Stock Exchange Agreement entered into between the Company, China Ziyang Technology Co., Limited, a Hong Kong company and the Holder.







1.           Terms of Repayment.







1.1           Application of Payments.  All payments received on account of this Note shall be applied first to the payment of interest and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days elapsed.







1.2           Default Interest Rate.  If payment of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued unpaid interest thereon at the applicable rate of interest (as set forth herein), is not made on the Maturity Date, then interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount due under this Note and on any unpaid accrued interest due on this date of the payment in full of such amounts (including from and after the date of the entry of judgment in favor of the Holder in an action to collect this Note) at an annual rate equal to the lesser of 12% or the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law.







1.3           Payment Dates.

2.           Conversion.







2.1           Automatic Conversion.  Immediately following the date on which the Company shall have filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Florida increasing the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock or upon completion of a reverse stock split so that there are a sufficient number of shares of the Company’s common stock to permit a full conversion of the principal amount of this Note together with any accrued but unpaid interest into shares of Common stock based upon the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) (the “Conversion Condition”), all amounts due hereunder shall automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Conversion Price without any action of the Holder.  Promptly thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Holder a certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to such automatic conversion of this Note as determined in accordance herewith.






  





  











  


















2.2           Calculation.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing (i) the amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest to be converted by (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect.







2.3           Conversion Price; Number of Shares.  The conversion price shall be $2.00 per share, after giving effect to an anticipated 400:1 reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”), subject to further adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as set forth below.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of this Note after giving effect to the anticipated 400:1 reverse stock split is anticipated to be 7,369,966 shares plus such other additional shares issued to cover the accrued but unpaid interest on the principal balance of this Note.







2.4           Stock Dividends.  If the Company, at any time while the Note is outstanding, shall pay a dividend in shares of, or make other distribution of shares of the Common Stock, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, as of the date the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of receiving such dividend or other distribution (or if no such record is taken, as at the date of such payment or other distribution), to that price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such payment or other distribution by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution.







2.5           Consolidation or Merger.  At any time while this Note remains outstanding, in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Company is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change, other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from no par value per share to par value), or in the case of any sale or transfer to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall, without payment of any additional consideration therefor, execute a new note providing that the Holder of the Note shall have the right to exercise such new note (upon terms not less favorable to the holder than those then applicable to the Note) and to receive upon such exercise, in lieu of each share of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Note, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money or property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by the Holder of one share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Note had the Note been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such new note shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2. The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers.







2.6           Restrictions on Shares.  This Note has been issued by the Company pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Act.  The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) they first shall have been registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws or (ii) the Company shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel (in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company) to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act.  Each certificate shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that have not been so registered and that has not been sold pursuant to an exemption that permits removal of the applicable legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:
