SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

The undersigned (hereinafter “Subscriber”) hereby confirms his/her/its subscription for the purchase of __________________ investment units (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of: (i) one (1) share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) and (ii) a five-year warrant to purchase four-tenths (0.40) of one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) underlying the Series B Preferred at an exercise price of $1.30 per share (the “Warrants”) of CHINA CARBON GRAPHITE GROUP, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), on the terms described below.
 
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Company’s Private Placement Memorandum, dated December 16, 2009 (the “Memorandum”).  The Units, the shares of Series B Preferred and the Warrants are sometimes referred to herein as the “Securities.”
 
In connection with this subscription, Subscriber and the Company agree as follows:
 
1.             Purchase and Sale of the Units.

(a) The Company hereby agrees to issue and to sell to Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, Units for the aggregate subscription amount set forth on the signature page hereto.  The Subscriber understands that this subscription is not binding upon the Company until the Company accepts it.  The Subscriber acknowledges and understands that acceptance of this Subscription will be made only by a duly authorized representative of the Company executing and mailing or otherwise delivering to the Subscriber at the Subscriber’s address set forth herein, a counterpart copy of the signature page to this Subscription Agreement indicating the Company’s acceptance of this Subscription.  The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever, to accept or reject this subscription in whole or in part.  Following the acceptance of this Subscription Agreement by the Company, the Company shall issue and deliver to Subscriber such number of Units subscribed for hereunder against payment in U.S. Dollars of the Purchase Price (as defined below).  If this subscription is rejected, the Company and the Subscriber shall thereafter have no further rights or obligations to each other under or in connection with this Subscription Agreement.  If this subscription is not accepted by the Company on or before the last day of the Offering Period, this subscription shall be deemed rejected.

(b) Subscriber has hereby delivered and paid concurrently herewith the aggregate purchase price for the Units set forth on the signature page hereof in an amount required to purchase and pay for the Units subscribed for hereunder (the “Purchase Price”), which amount has been paid in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer, subject to collection, to the order of “CHINA CARBON GRAPHITE GROUP, INC.”

(c) Subscriber understands and acknowledges that this subscription is part of a private placement (“the “Offering”) by the Company of up to a minimum of $2,040,000 (the “Minimum Amount”) and a maximum of $3,000,000 of Units (the “Maximum Amount”) on a “best efforts-all or none” basis with respect to the Minimum Amount and a “best efforts” basis with respect to the Maximum Amount.  Subscriber understands that Company must sell the Minimum Amount before it receives, and has the right to expend, the net proceeds from the sal of any Units. The proceeds from the sale of the Units will be held in escrow until at least the Minimum Amount is met, and the Company, upon accepting subscriptions, at its discretion may immediately thereafter conduct a closing and expend the subscription proceeds.

(d) At the closing of the Offering, the Company shall deposit with an escrow agent acceptable to the Company and the Placement Agent, as a pledge for the benefit of the Subscriber and the other subscribers in the Offering, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of Series B Preferred issued in the Offering (the “Make-Good Shares”).  The Make-Good Shares shall be held in escrow in the name of the escrow agent and be returned to the Company or delivered to the Subscribers as hereinafter provided and further provided in a Securities Escrow Agreement to be entered into by the Company and such escrow agent (the “Securities Escrow Agreement”) in the event that the Company does not meet certain financial performance targets for its fiscal years ending December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011.

1.  
The performance target for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 is the achievement of net income (defined to include $120,000 of dividends payable and a 25% corporate tax rate) of at least $5,100,000. The performance target for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 is the achievement of net income (defined to include $120,000 of dividends payable and a 25% corporate tax rate) of at least $10,000,000.  If the Company completes an underwritten equity financing with gross proceeds in excess of $15,000,000 prior to August 31, 2010, the performance target for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 is the achievement of net income (defined to include $120,000 of dividends payable and a 25% corporate tax rate) of at least $20,000,000.  In determining net income, to the extent that any Excluded Items are deducted in computing net income, there shall be added back the amount of such Excluded Items.  “Excluded Items” shall mean: (i) any income tax, enterprise tax or similar tax in excess of 25% of income before income taxes; and (ii) any items of expense or deduction arising directly or indirectly from the Offering and the transaction contemplated by the Offering.

2.  
The total number of Make-Good Shares shall be allocated 50% to 2010 and 50% to 2011.  If the Company meets the target number for any year, all of the Make-Good Shares allocable to that year shall be returned to the Company for cancellation.  If the Company’s net income is less than the target amount, the percentage shortfall shall be determined to two decimal places.  The Company shall allocate to the Subscribers in the manner hereinafter provided, that percentage of the Make-Good Shares for such year as equals the shortfall. For example, if the shortfall for 2010 is 10% and if the total number of Make-Good Shares for 2010 is 625,000, then 62,500 Make-Good Shares shall be issued to the Subscribers.
 
 
B-3

 

 
3.  
For purposes of paying the Make-Good Shares, a determination will be made separately with respect to each Subscriber.  The number of Make-Good Shares payable to each Subscriber shall be equal to a fraction of the total number of Make-Good shares potentially issuable pursuant to the foregoing provisions (62,500 shares in the example above), the numerator of which shall be the amount by which (a) the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon Series B Preferred which was initially issued to the Subscriber exceeds (b) the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock sold or otherwise transferred by the Subscriber plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred sold or otherwise transferred by the Subscriber, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of all of the Series B Preferred issued by the Company in the offering described in the Memorandum.  Any Make-Good Shares for either year which are not transferred to the Subscribers pursuant to this paragraph shall be returned to the Company for cancellation.

(i) The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Subscription Agreement and the issuance of the Units will not result in any violation of, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any of Subscriber’s articles of incorporation or by-laws, or equivalent limited liability company, trust or partnership documents, if applicable, or any agreement to which Subscriber is a party or by which it is bound, nor result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge against any of the assets or properties of Subscriber or the Units.

Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared.  The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as set forth in the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act.

In connection with the Offering, neither the Company nor the Company Representatives shall offer or cause to be offered the Units by any form of general solicitation or general advertising as defined in Rule 502(c) of Regulation D.  The Company and the Company Representatives have not taken and shall not take any action that would cause the Offering to be integrated with other transactions under Rule 502(a) of Regulation D.  Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its affiliates or Company Representatives has, prior to the date hereof, made any offer or sale of any securities which could be “integrated” for purposes of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations with the offer and sale of the Units pursuant to this Offering.
