Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
(b)
Effective February 8, 2008, Mr. Adam Wasserman resigned as our Chief Financial Officer.
 
(c)
Effective February 8, 2008, our board of directors (the “Board”) appointed Ms. Judy Ye as China Wind Systems’ new Chief Financial Officer.
 
Ms. Ye has over thirteen years of experience in financial and management accounting. Prior to joining China Wind Systems, Ms. Ye was the president of ARSY Consulting Ltd., where she was in charge of providing financial consulting services to clients as well as preparing their annual and quarterly financial reports filed with the SEC. Previously, Ms Ye worked as a Controller and Financial Advisor of Tengtu International Corporation, an online education platform company, which develops and sells e-learning software, computer systems, and educational materials to China’s Ministry of Education. Prior to that, Ms Ye worked as a Corporate Accountant at Bluenotes Canada, a subsidiary of American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. Prior to that, Ms Ye worked as a Financial Analyst at DST Canada. Ms. Ye started her career as an accountant, 1994, at BPI Capital Financial Corp. Ms. Judy Ye holds a MBA degree from Laurentian University, Ontario, Canada. Ms. Ye is also a CPA and a registered certified general accountant in Canada. Ms. Ye has working knowledge of US GAAP. Ms. Ye is fluent in both Mandarin and English.

The Employment Agreement

We entered into an Employment Agreement with Ms. Ye on February 8, 2008. Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, Ms. Ye is appointed Chief Financial Officer of China Wind Systems for a term (“Term”) of twenty-four months, at the end of which the Employment Agreement is terminated automatically unless upon terms to be negotiated and mutually agreed to by the parties. Additionally, Ms. Ye is to receive an annual salary of $85,000 and, at the discretion of our Board, may be eligible for an annual bonus which amount, if any, and payment will be determined by the Board. Ms. Ye is also granted options to purchase shares of China Wind Systems’ common stock. In connection therewith, Ms. Ye entered into a Stock Option Agreement with us, described below. Further, the Employment Agreement provides Ms. Ye with the right to participate in any employee benefit plans that we may establish.
 
2

 
We may terminate for cause the Employment Agreement upon written notice if at any time Ms. Ye: (a) engages in misconduct that may have a material adverse effect on the business and affairs of China Wind Systems; (b) disregards the legal instructions of the Board consistent with her position relating to the business of China Wind Systems or neglects or fails to discharge her duties so as to materially and adversely affect the business and affairs of China Wind Systems; (c) engages in any activity in competition with China Wind Systems without our prior approval; (d) is convicted of felony or (e) habitually abuses alcohol or controlled substances. Such termination for cause, however, is predicated on Ms. Ye first receiving a notice from the Board advising her of the specific acts or omissions constituting a cause for termination, and her subsequent failure to correct such acts or omissions after a reasonable opportunity (at least 10 days from her receipt of the Board’s notice) to do so. The Employment Agreement terminates automatically upon Ms. Ye’s death. If our termination breaches the terms of the Employment Agreement, Ms. Ye is entitled to receive the lesser of the remaining salary due to her under the Employment Agreement or three (3) months salary at the salary rate set in the Employment Agreement (“Severance Payment”). Ms. Ye will also be entitled to receive any previously declared bonus.

On the other hand, Ms. Ye may terminate the Employment Agreement upon a 15-day written notice if: (i) Ms. Ye is no longer the Chief Financial Officer or its equivalent; (ii) China Wind Systems materially reduces Ms. Ye’ duties and responsibilities; (iii) Ms. Ye’ compensation or other benefits are reduced by ten percent or more; (iv) a successor to China Wind Systems does not assume the Employment Agreement; or (v) China Wind Systems materially breaches the Employment Agreement and fails to cure within 30 days of written notice from Ms. Ye of such breach. Ms. Ye must submit her termination notice within 90 days after the occurrence of any of the events described in (i) through (v). Upon such termination, Ms. Ye is entitled to receive the Severance Payment. Ms. Ye may also terminate the Employment Agreement without cause upon a 60-day written notice, provided that she will not be entitled to receive the Severance Payment or any additional compensation for such termination.

The Employment Agreement also contains restrictive covenants preventing competition with China Wind Systems during her employment and for a period of one (1) year after termination (including contact with or solicitation of the customers, employees or suppliers of China Wind Systems), and also covenants preventing the use or disclosure of confidential business information during or at any time after termination of her employment. However, if the Employment Agreement is terminated by Ms. Ye under any of the circumstances described in (i) through (v) above, then the covenant against competition is reduced to the number of months remaining under the Employment Agreement at the time of termination plus six (6) months thereafter. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Ms. Ye is permitted to serve as chief financial officer of China Power until May 15, 2008, as chief financial officer of Jiali Pharmaceutical Inc. until May 31, 2008, and as president of ARSY Consulting Services, Ltd., during the Term.

The foregoing summary of the Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Employment Agreement, a copy of which is included as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The Options and the Stock Option Agreement

Under the Employment Agreement, Ms. Ye is granted 120,000 options to purchase shares of China Wind Systems’ common stock (“Option Shares”) at an exercise price of $2.00 per share for a period of four (4) years, and pursuant thereto, she entered into the Stock Option Agreement with us. 60,000 options will vest and become exercisable on the 12-month anniversary date of their issuance date, and the remaining 60,000 options will vest and become exercisable on the 24-month anniversary date of their issuance. If Ms. Ye terminates the Employment Agreement with or without cause, or if we terminate the Employment Agreement for cause, any options not vested at the time of such termination shall terminate. On the other hand, if we terminate in breach of the terms of the Employment Agreement, any options not vested at the time of such termination shall immediately vest.
 
3

 
The Stock Option Agreement provides certain anti-dilution adjustments. Thus, in the event China Wind Systems declares or pays a dividend on its common stock in common stock or other securities, or subdivides the outstanding common stock, then upon the exercise of the options, for each share of common stock acquired, Ms. Ye will receive the number and kind of securities that she would have been entitled to received had she owned such share of common stock on the date the dividend or subdivision occurred. Upon any event that results in a change of the number and/or class of securities issuable upon the exercise of the options, Ms. Ye will receive, upon exercise of the options, the number and kind of securities and property that she would have been entitled to received had she exercised immediately prior to such event. If the number of outstanding shares of China Wind Systems’ common stock is reduced, the exercise price of the options will be proportionally increased. Lastly, any plan of consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of all or substantially all assets by China Wind Systems (excepting a plan of complete liquidation) must provide that Ms. Ye will have the right to acquire and receive, upon exercise of the options, such stock shares, securities or assets equivalent to the number of shares of China Wind Systems common stock that she would have received had the consolidation, merger sale or conveyance not occurred.

The foregoing summary of the Stock Option Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Stock Option Agreement, a copy of which is included as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

60,000 Common Shares on the date that is two years from the date hereof.

4. Method and Time of Exercise. The Option may be exercised by written notice delivered to the Company at its principal executive office stating the number of Common Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, together with a check or money order made payable to the Company in the amount of the exercise price.

5. Termination of Option. In the event that Optionee terminates its employment, pursuant to Section 8(b) of the Employment Agreement, all Options not then vested shall immediately terminate.

6. Non-transferability. Except with the express written approval of the Administrator, this Option may not be assigned or transferred except by will, qualified domestic relations order or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised only by Optionee during her lifetime and after her death, by her personal representative or by the person entitled thereto under her will or the laws of intestate succession.

7. Optionee Not a Shareholder. Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the Common Shares of the Company covered by this Option until the date of issuance of a stock certificate or stock certificates to her upon exercise of this Option. No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate or certificates are issued.

8. No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Option granted hereby shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or of any of its Affiliates to terminate Optionee's employment or consulting at any time, nor confer upon Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or consult with, the Company or any of its Affiliates.

9. Anti-dilution Adjustment.

9.1  Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other securities, or subdivides the outstanding Common Stock into a greater amount of Common Stock, then upon exercise of this Option, for each Common Share acquired, Optionee shall receive, without cost to Optionee, the total number and kind of securities to which Optionee would have been entitled had Optionee owned the Common Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

   9.2 Reclassifications, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise of this Option, Optionee shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Option, the number and kind of securities and property that Optionee would have received for the Common Shares if this Option had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Optionee a new Option for such new securities or other property. The new Option shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 10.2, including, without limitation, adjustments to the Exercise Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Option. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

9.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.

9.4 Merger or Consolidation. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other corporation, or in the case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the registered holder of the Option will have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of this Option in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore subject to acquisition upon the exercise of this Option, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore subject to acquisition and receivable upon exercise of this Option had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken place. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Section 10 hereof will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Option.
 
10. Restrictions on Sale of Common Shares. Optionee represents and agrees that upon her exercise of this Option, in whole or in part, unless there is in effect at that time under the Securities Act a registration statement relating to the Common Shares issued to her, she will acquire the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option for the purpose of investment and not with a view to their resale or further distribution, and that upon such exercise thereof she will furnish to the Company a written statement to such effect, satisfactory to the Company in form and substance. Optionee agrees that any certificates issued upon exercise of this Option may bear a legend indicating that their transferability is restricted in accordance with applicable state and federal securities law. Any person or persons entitled to exercise this Option under the provisions of Paragraphs 5 and 6 hereof shall, upon each exercise of this Option under circumstances in which Optionee would be required to furnish such a written statement, also furnish to the Company a written statement to the same effect, satisfactory to the Company in form and substance.

11. Notices. All notices to the Company shall be addressed to the Chief Executive Officer at the principal executive office of the Company, and all notices to Optionee shall be addressed to Optionee at the address of Optionee on file with the Company or its subsidiary, or to such other address as either may designate to the other in writing. A notice shall be deemed to be duly given if and when enclosed in a properly addressed sealed envelope deposited, postage prepaid, with the United States Postal Service. In lieu of giving notice by mail as aforesaid, written notices under this Agreement may be given by personal delivery to Optionee or to the Chief Executive Officer (as the case may be).

12. Sale or Other Disposition. If Optionee at any time contemplates the disposition (whether by sale, gift, exchange, or other form or transfer) of any Shares acquired by exercise of this Option, she or she shall first notify the Company in writing of such proposed disposition and cooperate with the Company in complying with all applicable requirements of law, which, in the judgment of the Company, must be satisfied prior to such disposition.
