Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


The Bondholders are the holders of its outstanding Variable Rate Convertible Bonds due 2012 (the “2007 Bonds”) and 12% Convertible Bonds due 2011 (the “2008 Bonds,” and collectively with the 2007 Bonds, the “Bonds”) and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company expiring 2013 (the “2008 Warrants”).  Pursuant to the Agreement, the holders of the Bonds and the 2008 Warrants agreed to waive their right to a reduction in the conversion price of the Bonds and the exercise price of the 2008 Warrants upon the Company’s anticipated issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) to First Jet Investment Limited (“First Jet”) for a proposed acquisition of a 60% ownership interest in Shanghai ConnGame Network Co. Ltd. (“ConnGame”).  Additionally, the holders of the 2008 Bonds agreed to waive any default under the terms and conditions of the trust deed governing the 2008 Bonds relating to the requirement that KGE Group Limited own at least 45% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

The waivers contained in the Agreement are subject to numerous conditions, including repayments of debt and lock-up restrictions.

Repayments

The Company agreed that it would pay to the Bondholders all outstanding interests in arrears on the Bonds, plus all other applicable interest up until the payment date, within 30 days after the closing of the issuance of the Shares, but which in any event, would not be later than September 30, 2010.  The Company also agreed to pay all unsettled amounts of an overdraft facility, which include all outstanding principal and interest amounts, within 30 days after the closing of the issuance of the Shares, but which in any event, would not be later than September 30, 2010.

The Company agreed that it will not repay or prepay any debt prior to its currently scheduled due date until the Company makes all of the payments specified in the Waiver and the Bonds have been redeemed in full and that any new indebtedness incurred by the Company for the purpose of repaying the overdraft facility shall (i) not exceed the outstanding amount due and payable under the overdraft facility and (ii) be subordinated to all amount owed under the Bonds.

Lock-up restrictions

First Jet and KGE Group agreed to certain lock-up restrictions.  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, First Jet Investment Limited (“First Jet”), the owner of the 60% ownership interest in ConnGame being sold to the Company, and KGE Group each agreed that they will maintain an ownership in the Company that is no less than 20% and 15%, respectively, of the Company’s common stock (the “Company Lock-Up Shares”) after the issuance of the Shares until all liabilities due to the holders of the Bonds and the Overdraft Lender have been paid in full.  First Jet and KGE Group also agreed not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or encumber the Company Lock-Up Shares until released from such restriction.  Mr. Jun Tang, the largest shareholder of First Jet, and Mr. Luo Ken Yi each agreed that, until all liabilities due to the holders of the Bonds and the Overdraft Lender have been paid in full, he will own at least 20% and 15%, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock  (the “Individual Lock-Up Shares”) and that he shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of the Individual Lock-Up Shares.  Mr. Luo Ken Yi is the largest shareholder of KGE Group, in addition to the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company.

In addition, Mr. Luo agreed to not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of the Company shares beneficially owned by Mr. Luo without prior consent of the Bondholders, which shall not be unreasonably withheld for the purpose of allowing the payments under the bonds and related interest to be made.  Mr. Luo would be subject to such restrictions until the payment required under the waiver and interest of 2008 Bonds due on October 15, 2010 are paid in full.

If the Company fails to make any of the payments specified in the Agreement, then all rights of the holders of the Bonds and 2008 Warrants waived under the Agreement to or to be waived under the Agreement, shall not be waived and will be reinstated, and any previous waivers will be null and void.  In such case, appropriate adjustments will be made to the conversion prices of the Bonds and the exercise price of the 2008 Warrants in the event any of the Shares are issued and an event of default under the terms and conditions of the trust deed governing the 2008 Bonds shall exist, making the 2008 Bonds immediately due and payable.  Additionally, (a) if any part of the proposed issuance of the Shares is cancelled or not consummated within three months from the effective date of the Agreement or (b) if the Company breaches either of the covenants, or (c) if any of KGE Group, First Jet, Mr. Luo Ken Yi or Mr. Jun Tang fails to beneficially own the specified percentage of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock or breaches their lock-up restrictions with respect to such shares, then all rights of the holders of the Bonds and 2008 Warrants waived under the Agreement or to be waived under the Agreement, shall not be waived and will be reinstated, and any previous waivers will be null and void.

APPENDIX A
 
PROPOSED ISSUANCE
 
The Company intends to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of newly issued common stock of the Company to acquire a 60% equity interest in ConnGame from First Jet.  The Company expects that the consideration per share at which the 25,000,000 shares will be issued will be less than the current conversion price of the Bonds, as determined under the terms and conditions of the Trust Deeds.
 
Nasdaq Marketplace Rules require that the Company complete and submit an additional listing application to the Nasdaq Stock Market and receive approval from NASDAQ before the Company may issue any new shares in the Proposed Issuance.  In addition, Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635 requires that, among other things, the Company obtain shareholder approval of the issuances of securities in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company where the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities, in addition to other restrictions if certain tests are met.  Because the 25,000,000 shares of common stock the Company intends to issue exceeds the 20% threshold as set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, and may also trigger other tests, the Company must obtain shareholder approval, which is subject to compliance with Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company has obtained shareholder approval for the Proposed Issuance and has filed a Preliminary Schedule 14C with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The Company has received and responded to comment letters from the SEC and the Company intends to file and mail to shareholders a Definitive Schedule 14C upon the SEC’s approval of the Preliminary Schedule 14C.
 
Upon the issuance of the 25,000,000 shares of newly issued common stock in the Proposed Issuance, KGE Group Limited will own approximately 31.2% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, based on the estimated 80,156,874 shares of common stock that will be issued and outstanding  immediately following the Proposed Issuance.

APPENDIX B
 
PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR AMOUNTS DUE TO THE CREDITORS

The Company agrees to make the following payments to the Creditors within the following time periods (collectively, the “Agreed Payments”):
 
1.           Payment to the Bondholders
 
           The Company agrees to pay to the Bondholders all outstanding interests in arrears on the Bonds, plus all other applicable interest up until the payment date, (i) within thirty (30) days after the closing of the Proposed Issuance or (ii) 30 September 2010, whichever is earlier.
