The Reporting Persons purchased the Convertible Notes, and may acquire shares of Common Stock of the Issuer upon exercise of the Convertible Notes, for investment purposes. See Item 6 below for a description of the terms of the Convertible Notes.

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
 
The matters set forth in Item 4 are incorporated into this Item 6 by reference as if fully set forth herein.
 
On February 16, 2007, the Issuer, Safetech, CSST HK, Golden, Cheng Feng, CSST PRC and CEF entered into a Notes Purchase Agreement (the “Notes Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer offered and sold, and CEF purchased, $60,000,000 of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes. Each $100,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes is initially convertible into 5,555 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at an initial conversion rate of $18.00 per share, which rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Issuer as set forth in the Indenture (as defined herein). The transaction closed on February 16, 2007.
 
The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated February 16, 2007 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Safetech, as guarantor, CSST HK, as guarantor, and The Bank of New York, as trustee for the Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the Indenture, Safetech, CSST HK and all of the Issuer’s other existing and future subsidiaries are obligated (only to the extent such subsidiary is permitted under applicable laws to do so) to guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, to the holders of the Convertible Notes and the trustee the payment and performance of the Issuer’s obligations thereunder. The terms of the Indenture prohibit the Issuer from, among other things, (i) incurring any Debt (as defined in the Indenture) unless the Issuer and such Debt meets certain guidelines outlined in the Indenture, (ii) making, directly or indirectly, certain Restricted Payments (as defined in the Indenture), (iii) incurring any liens other than Permitted Liens (as defined in the Indenture), (iv) consummating any asset sale unless the consideration received for such sale is at least equal to the fair market value of the sold assets and at least seventy five percent (75%) of the consideration paid in connection with such sale is in the form of cash or cash equivalents, (v) permitting any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to, directly or indirectly, create or cause any consensual restriction on the right of any Subsidiary to make certain distributions, loans or advances or transfers, (vi) entering into any transaction or series of transactions with, or for the benefit of, any affiliate of the Issuer unless such transaction meets certain conditions, (vii) disposing of the capital stock of any of its Subsidiaries or permitting any of its Subsidiaries from issuing or selling or otherwise disposing of any shares of such Subsidiary’s capital stock other than under certain conditions, or (viii) permitting its Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Indenture) to be less than the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth Threshold (as defined in the Indenture). If a Change of Control, Asset Sales (as defined in the Indenture), or certain other designated events including de-listing occur, holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Issuer to repurchase all or a portion of the Convertible Notes for cash at the applicable redemption price.
 
The Investor Rights Agreement described in Item 4 above was also entered into in connection with the transaction. In addition to the Reporting Persons’ right to designate a Board Observer described in Item 4, the Investor Rights Agreement grants CEF, subject to certain conditions, a right to review and provide comments and suggestions on the legal structures contemplated by Potential Acquisitions (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) by the Issuer, a right of first refusal with respect to any issuance of securities sought by the Issuer and a right of first refusal and tag-along rights for proposed sales by the Controlling Shareholders to any third party.

CEF and Mr. Tu also entered into a noncompetition covenant and agreement, dated February 16, 2007 (the “Non-Competition Agreement”), relating to Mr. Tu’s employment as the Issuer’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Pursuant to the Non-Competition Agreement, Mr. Tu may not engage directly or indirectly in a business that is competitive with the Issuer’s business through the second anniversary of termination of Mr. Tu’s current employment agreement with the Issuer, including soliciting employees of the Issuer or its affiliates or otherwise materially and adversely interfering with the Issuer’s or any of its affiliates’ business, and keeping confidential any Issuer information and assigning to the Issuer all work product.
 
Each of the Notes Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the Indenture, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement sets forth certain other rights and obligations of the parties. The foregoing summaries of the terms of the Notes Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the Indenture, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement are qualified by reference to the full text of each of the Notes Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the Indenture, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement, each of which is incorporated by reference in Item 7 below.
 
Other than as described above and elsewhere in this filing, the Reporting Persons have no understandings, arrangements, relationships or contracts relating to the Issuer’s Common Stock that are required to be described hereunder.

If this Note (or portion hereof) is surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any record date for the payment of interest to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the following Interest Payment Date, this Note (or portion hereof being converted) must be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount being converted; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) if the Company has specified a Purchase Date that is during such period or (2) to the extent of any overdue Interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.
 
R-3

 
No fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment and payment in cash will be made, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Note or Notes for conversion.
 
A Note in respect of which a holder is exercising its right to require repurchase upon a Asset Sale Offer, Change of Control Offer or Termination of Trading Offer on a Purchase Date may be converted only if such holder withdraws its election to exercise either such right in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
 
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange thereof, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

All payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, satisfy and discharge liability for monies payable on this Note.

Section 3. Miscellaneous.
 
3.1 Severability.  In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction concludes that the scope of the covenants contained herein is unenforceable, the parties agree to be bound by those restrictions which the court determines in fact to be enforceable under the circumstances. Any other provision hereof prohibited by, or unlawful or unenforceable under, any applicable law of any jurisdiction shall as to such jurisdiction and to such extent be ineffective, without affecting any other provision of this Agreement or its effectiveness under any other laws, to the extent permitted by applicable law. To the full extent, however, that any provision of such applicable law may be waived, it is hereby waived, such that this Agreement shall be deemed to be a valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms.
 
3.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
 
3.3 Governing Law; Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

The place of arbitration shall be in Hong Kong SAR, PRC. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The arbitrators shall be experienced and have knowledge in the subject matter of the dispute. Judgment upon any award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.  Any award pursuant to such proceeding shall be granted in U.S. Dollars. The arbitration awards shall be non-appealable, final, binding and conclusive upon parties. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably agrees that any service of process made with respect to a dispute under this Agreement may be made pursuant to the notice procedures set forth in this Agreement.
 
3.4 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto; it being understood that the Purchaser shall be permitted to assign its rights under this Agreement to any Affiliate of the Purchaser who purchases the Notes or common shares into which the Notes were converted, provided that such Affiliate shall be subject to the same terms as those set forth in this Agreement and provided that notice of such assignment is given to the Executive.
