Issuance Date: December 19, 2015

Maturity Date: December 19, 2018

For value received, Kirin International Holding Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to Jasper Lake Holdings Limited (the “Holder”) the principal sum of Seventy Five Million U.S. Dollars (U.S.$75,000,000.00). This convertible promissory note (this “ Note”) is subject to the following terms and conditions. This Note is one of a series of Convertible Promissory Notes containing substantially identical terms and conditions issued pursuant to that certain Note and Share Exchange Agreement dated as of December 19, 2015 (the “SEA”). All notes issued under the SEA are referred to herein as the “Notes,” and the holders thereof are referred to herein as the “Holders.”

 

1.Interest, Maturity and Default

(a) Interest shall accrue from the Issuance Date on the unpaid principal amount at a rate equal to 8 percent per annum, simple interest; provided, however, that if any principal or interest under this Note remains unpaid after December 19, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”), the interest rate on such unpaid amounts shall increase from 8 percent per annum to a percent per annum simple interest mutually agreed by the Company and the Holder. Subject to Section 2, principal and any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note shall be due and payable upon demand by the Holder at any time after the Maturity Date.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1(a) above, the entire unpaid principal sum of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable upon (i) the execution by the Company of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) the filing by or against the Company of a petition in bankruptcy or any petition for relief under the federal bankruptcy act or the continuation of such petition without dismissal for a period of 90 days or more, or (iii) the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of the property or assets of the Company.

 

2.Conversion

(a) Conversion at Holder’s Election

The principal and accrued but unpaid interest under this Note (the “Aggregate Note Amount”) shall, at the Holders election, be convertible at any time into shares of (i) the Company’s Class A common stock, no par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”), or (ii) if the Class A Common Stock has been converted into another class of common stock as of the date of conversion of the Note, the class of common stock as then authorized (the class of stock issued under this Section 2(a)(i) or (ii), the “Common Stock”). The Aggregate Note Amount shall be convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of the Aggregate Note Amount divided by $10.00.

 

(b) Mechanics and Effect of Conversion

No fractional shares of the Company’s capital stock will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company will pay to the Holder in cash the amount of the unconverted principal and interest balance of this Note that would otherwise be converted into such fractional share. Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal offices of the Company or any transfer agent of the Company. At its expense, the Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such Holder, at the address of the Holder most recently furnished in writing to the Company, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Equity Securities to which such Holder is entitled upon such conversion, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note, including a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts payable as described herein. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company will be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note with regard to that portion of the principal amount and accrued interest being converted, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay such portion of the principal amount and accrued interest.

 

3.Payment

All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at such place as the Holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment shall be credited first to the accrued interest then due and payable and the remainder applied to principal.
