Unless otherwise stated herein, references to this Agreement, any other agreement or any other document, as the case may be, shall be interpreted as also referring to the amendments, revisions, additions and updates which have been made or may be made from time to time to this Agreement, any other agreement or any other document.

1.5

ARTICLE TWO          LOAN AMOUNT AND INTEREST RATE


	
2.1
	
The Parties hereby confirm that the total principal amount of the Loan advanced by Lender to Borrower shall be 1.5 Million Renminbi (RMB1,500,000), including:




a principal amount of 0.765 Million Renminbi (RMB765,000) advanced to Chen Ming; and 

a principal amount of 0.735 Million Renminbi (RMB735,000) advanced to He Yansheng.


	
2.2
	
The Loan advanced hereunder shall bear an interest at the rate of zero percent (0%), i.e. no interest will accrue for the Loan hereunder. 




ARTICLE THREE          REPAYMENT


	
3.1
	
The term of Loan shall be ten (10) years as of the date of execution of this Agreement, and may be extended upon agreements by the Parties in writing.  During the term or extended term of the Loan, Lender may at any time request at its own absolute discretion that the Liability be discharged, in whole or in part, by Borrower or Borrowers, upon a 30-day prior repayment notice to such Borrower or Borrowers (“Repayment Notice”). In the event that Lender requires 




 



 


		
repayment by any Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence, Lender shall have the right to purchase or designate a third party to purchase the equity interest held by such Borrower in Chenhuan at such a price as equaling the amount of the Liability to be discharged by such Borrower, provided, however, that the ratio of the equity interest to be so purchased to the equity interest held by such Borrower in Chenhuan shall be equivalent to that of the Liability required to be discharged to the principal amount of the Loan borrowed by such Borrower hereunder. The amount of the Liability required to be repaid shall be offset against that of the equity transfer price.     





	
3.2
	
Any Borrower may at any time apply for the discharge of the Liability, in whole or in part, by sending Lender a 30-day prior notice of application (“Repayment Application”). In such case, Borrower may discharge its Liability only by transferring the equity interest held by such Borrower in Chenhuan, in whole or in part, to Lender or a third party designated by Lender, and the equity transfer price shall be offset against the amount of the Liability applied for discharge by such Borrower. The ratio of the equity interest, which is to be so transferred, to the equity interest held by such Borrower in Chenhuan shall be equivalent to that of the Liability for which discharge is applied, to the principal amount of the Loan borrowed by such Borrower hereunder. 





	
3.3
	
Upon the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in the Repayment Notice or the Repayment Application, as the case may be, Borrower who applies for the repayment of or who is required to repay the Loan shall discharge the Liability in accordance with Section 3.1 or 3.2 respectively.





	
3.4
	
When Borrower discharges the Liability pursuant to the above provisions of this Article Three, the Parties shall concurrently consummate the equity transfer as prescribed in Section 3.1 or 3.2 above, to ensure that upon the discharge of the Liability, the corresponding equity interest in Chenhuan shall have been transferred, legally and completely, to Lender or the third party designated by Lender, pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 above, and such equity interest shall be free and clear of any lien or any other encumbrance of any kind.





	
3.5
	
During the term or extended term of the Loan, each Borrower shall immediately repay the Loan in full in accordance with Section 3.1 if such Borrower





	
 
	
3.5.1
	
is dead, incapable of civil action, or has limited capacity for civil action;





	
 
	
3.5.2
	
engages or is involved in any criminal offence; or 





	
 
	
3.5.1
