Item 14.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        We are a Nevada corporation, and accordingly, we are subject to the corporate laws under the Nevada Revised Statutes. Pursuant to Article 7 of our articles of incorporation and Nevada's Revised Business Statutes, our bylaws contain the following indemnification provision for our directors and officers:

        "The corporation shall indemnify directors, officers, employees, and agents of the corporation to the extent required by the Nevada Revised Statutes and shall indemnify such individuals to the extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes. The corporation may purchase and maintain liability insurance, or make other arrangements for such obligations or otherwise, to the extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes."

        Such indemnification provision may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our executive officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. We do not currently carry directors' and officers' liability insurance covering our directors and officers, but we have plans to do so. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.

Item 15.    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

        The following are all issuances of securities by the registrant during the past three years which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In each of these issuances the recipient represented that he or it was acquiring the shares for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards distribution or resale except in compliance with applicable securities laws. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with any transaction, and the certificate evidencing the securities that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability absent registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an applicable

II-1



exemption therefrom. Unless specifically set forth below, no underwriter participated in the transaction and no commissions were paid in connection with the transactions. The share and dollar amounts set forth below have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected on May 7, 2010.

        On July 20, 2009, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several institutional and/or accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold and issued to the purchasers $6.177 million in aggregate principal amount of 10% senior secured convertible notes initially due July 16, 2012, and warrants to purchase up to approximately 1.6 million shares of common stock with an exercise price equal to $2.85 per share in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). We relied upon representations and warranties made by each purchaser in the Securities Purchase Agreement that such purchaser was qualified as an accredited investor, as defined by Rule 501 under the Regulation D.

        On July 1, 2009, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several institutional and/or accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold and issued to the Purchasers $5.415 million in aggregate principal amount of 10% senior secured convertible notes initially due June 30, 2012, and warrants to purchase up to 1.4 million shares of common stock with an exercise price equal to $2.85 per share in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act. We relied upon representations and warranties made by each purchaser in the Securities Purchase Agreement that such purchaser was qualified as an accredited investor, as defined by Rule 501 under the Regulation D.

        We previously issued warrants to purchase up to 427,074 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.28 per share, to Axiom Capital Management, Inc. on October 28, 2009, as an investment banking commission in connection with our private placement of convertible notes.

        On March 31, 2009, we issued 116,650 shares of restricted common stock to an independent consultant that we engaged for consultation and advisory services relating to investor relation. On April 1, 2009, we issued an additional 116,650 shares of restricted common stock to the same consultant.

        On or about March 27, 2009, we entered into an agreement with the investors who participated in our private financing in September 2008 to amend certain terms of the convertible debentures as well as the warrants that we issued to these investors. The amendment amended the terms of the convertible debentures to (i) include an adjustment to the conversion price so that it shall not be lower than $0.50 per share in the event an adjustment is mandated by the terms of the convertible debenture; (ii) include that an issuance of shares of common stock or its equivalent at less than $0.50 per share, while the convertible debenture is outstanding, shall be deemed an event of default; (iii) include that no less than 30 days from the maturity date of the convertible debentures, we shall establish an escrow account with a PRC law firm and shall deposit an amount of money equal to the aggregate principal of the convertible debentures and accrued interest thereon into such escrow account; and (iv) to include that the investors shall have an option to extend the maturity date of the convertible debentures by one year. The amendment amended the terms of the warrants to include an adjustment to the exercise price so that it shall not be lower than $0.50 per share in the event an adjustment is mandated by the terms of the warrants.

        On September 19, 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with four institutional and/or accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold to the purchasers $535,000 in

II-2



aggregate principal amount of 18% convertible debentures due September 18, 2009, and warrants to purchase up to 356,667 shares of the common stock of the Company with an exercise price equal to $1.50 per share, in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. We also issued a warrant to Ancora Securities, Inc., as finder's fee, to purchase up to 9,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and to expire on September 18, 2010. We relied upon representations and warranties made by each purchaser in the Securities Purchase Agreement that such purchaser was either qualified as an accredited investor, as defined by Rule 501 under the Regulation D or was a non-U.S. person who acquired the securities for investment purposes and not with a view toward distribution and would comply with the other requirements of the Regulation S.

        On September 16, 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two institutional and accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold to the purchasers $800,650 in aggregate principal amount of 18% secured convertible debentures due September 15, 2009, and warrants to purchase up to 533,766 shares of the common stock of the Company with an exercise price equal to $1.50 per share, in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Company also issued a warrant to Ancora Securities, Inc., as finder's fee, to purchase up to 26,710 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and to expire on September 15, 2010. We relied upon representations and warranties made by each purchaser in the Securities Purchase Agreement that such purchaser was either qualified as an accredited investor, as defined by Rule 501 under the Regulation D or was a non-U.S. person who acquired the securities for investment purposes and not with a view toward distribution and would comply with the other requirements of the Regulation S.

        On June 30, 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Mr. Peng Zhou, a member of our board of directors, and Suo'ang New Energy, a limited liability company in the PRC. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to acquire from Mr. Zhou his 20% equity ownership interest in Suo'ang New Energy in exchange for the issuance of 750,000 shares of our restricted common stock to Mr. Zhou pursuant to an offshore transaction with non-U.S. persons under Regulation S of the Securities Act.
