In addition, NCN Group and certain of the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiaries each granted the Company a security interest in certain of the assets of such subsidiaries to, among other things, secure the NCN Group Note and certain related obligations.  Forms of the First Amendment and the Security Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.  In connection with the Third Closing, the Company amended its Bylaws to remove Section 7.12(ii) thereof.

(a)           In the event that the Holder elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (a “ Notice of Conversion ”) to the Borrower, which Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued an unpaid interest and amounts being converted.  The date specified in the Notice of Conversion, or if no date is specified, then the date of the delivery of the Notice of Conversion, shall be referred to as the “ Conversion Date .”  A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A .

(i)            Merger, Sale of Assets, etc .  If (A) the Borrower effects any merger or consolidation of the Borrower with or into another entity, (B) the Borrower effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Borrower or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Borrower consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), or (E) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Borrower (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), this Note, as to the Principal Amount thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.  The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction.
 
                      (ii)            Reclassification, etc .  If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the Principal Amount hereof and accrued and unpaid interest hereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.
 
(iii)            Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends .  If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(iv)            Share Issuance .  So long as any amount of this Note is outstanding, if the Borrower shall issue any Common Stock except for Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to an Exempt Issuance, prior to the full conversion or payment of this Note, for a consideration less than the Conversion Price then in effect(as adjusted if applicable), then, and thereafter successively upon each such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to such other lower issue price.  For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Borrower carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option and again upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then applicable Conversion Price.  For the avoidance of doubt, any issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Loan Note or exercise of the Bridge Loan Warrant shall trigger the adjustment under this Section 3.4 (a) (iv) .
 
(b)           If the Borrower at any time or from time to time, prior to the full conversion of this Note, shall take any action affecting its Common Stock or share capital similar to or having an effect similar to any of the actions described in Section 3.4(a) , then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner as would be equitable in the circumstances.
 
3.5            Notice as to Adjustments . Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Article 3 , the Borrower shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
3.6            Reservation and Registration .  The Borrower covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note, free from all Liens, preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder, not less than the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of this Article II) upon the conversion of this Note.  The Borrower covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, shall be registered for public sale in accordance therewith.  The Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.
 
3.7            Transfer Taxes .  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary, stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates.

(a)            Generally .  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,   Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, and also may (i) require Grantor to, and Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Secured Party deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of Grantor’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of Grantor’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any Secured Obligation, (v) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, (vi) exercise dominion and control over and refuse to permit further withdrawals from any Deposit Account maintained with Secured Party or any Investor and provide instructions directing the disposition of funds in Deposit Accounts not maintained with Secured Party or any Investor and (vii) provide entitlement orders with respect to Security Entitlements and other Investment Property constituting a part of the Collateral and, without notice to Grantor, transfer to or register in the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral constituting Investment Property.  Secured Party or any Investor may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and Secured Party, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Grantor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.  If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.  Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9 will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against Grantor, and Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities.

Exhibit 99.1
Network CN Provides Update to Shareholders as Launch of Its Advertising Network Nears

v
Receives final $35 million installment of $50 million financing

NEW YORK, February 6, 2008 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Network CN Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NWCN - News), a Chinese media and travel network company headquartered in Hong Kong, today announced an Olympic-year shareholder letter providing an update on highlights of Company operations and financing.

“As China prepares for the Summer Olympic Games, Network CN is nearing significant operational milestones,” commented Godfrey Hui, Chief Executive Officer of Network CN.  “Specifically, we are approaching the activation of the first phase of our multi-city network of outdoor LED roadside billboards and mega-size advertising displays including the 98-panel project at the new international terminal at Beijing International Airport."

The letter from Mr. Hui, which will be publicly available on the Company’s web site at http://www.ncnincorporated.com, provides details and perspective on the build-out and expected February launch of the Company’s media network, as well as other milestones.  “Network CN is in the right place at the right time with the right media network,” reads one passage.  “We look forward to the launch of our out-of-home advertising network with pride and exhilaration.”

Among other highlights, the Company announced that it has received the third and final tranche of financing under a $50 million Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with affiliated investment funds of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group ("Och-Ziff").  The closing of this third round will bring the Company US $35 million to use in operations as it continues to expand its outdoor advertising network across the major cities of China.

"We are deeply appreciative of Och-Ziff’s counseling and are aggressively moving forward with our business plan on the strength of our financing agreement with them," commented Mr. Hui.  "The exercise of Och-Ziff’s warrants would inject an additional $100 million, so we are making every effort toward facilitating that outcome.  We thank Och-Ziff for helping to empower our company to build a leadership position in outdoor media.”

Please refer to Network CN's website (http://www.ncnincorporated.com) for additional details.
