OPTION AGREEMENT
OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made as of May 4, 2010, by and between Wong Hua Peng Philip (the “Grantor”), a Singapore citizen, and Chun Lu (the “Optionee””), a PRC citizen.
BACKGROUND
The Grantor currently owns 17,797,372, shares of the Common Stock, $0.001 per share, of Highland Ridge, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation (the “Shares”).

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, mutual covenants herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, subject to the terms and conditions herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1.
Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Grantor hereby grants to the Optionee an option (the “Option”) to purchase all of the Shares the Grantor now owns or hereinafter acquires, and all shares of the Company the Grantor is now or in the future will become entitled to own (the “Option Shares”), at an aggregate exercise price of $1,000,000 (the “Exercise Price”).
2.
Term of the Option. The Optionee may exercise his Option at any time during the period commencing on the 365th day following of the date hereof and ending on the second anniversary of the date hereof (the “Term”) in accordance with the exercise procedure specified in Section 4 hereof.
3.
Rights of Optionee. The Optionee shall not have any rights to dividends or distributions or any other rights of an equity holder with respect to the Option Shares until the Option Shares shall have been issued to the Optionee (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the transfer books of the Company) upon exercise of the Option to purchase the Option Shares; provided, however, that if the Company makes a distribution or dividend during the Term, then the property so distributed or the property that is the subject of the dividend will be held in trust by the Grantor in favor of the Optionee during the Term and become part of the interest in the Shares which is transferable to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option.
4.
Exercise Procedure. The Optionee may exercise his Option, in whole but not in part, at any time during the Term, by delivering to the Company and the Grantor a written notice of such exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), duly signed by the Optionee. The delivery of the Exercise Notice in accordance herewith will constitute a binding obligation (a) on the part of the Optionee to purchase and (b) on the part of the Grantor to sell, the Option Shares subject to such Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
5.
Exercise Price; Delivery of Shares. If the Optionee exercises his Option in accordance with Section 4, the Optionee shall pay the Exercise Price to the Grantor no later than 15 days after delivery of the Exercise Notice. Within five business days after the receipt of both the Exercise Notice and the exercise price, the Grantor shall deliver, or take all steps necessary to cause to be delivered, certificates representing the Option Shares.
6.
Escrow of Grantor’s Shares. To secure the performance of Grantor’s obligations under this Agreement, within 15 days after execution of this Agreement, the Grantor shall deliver to Regal Nominees Limited, as Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agent”), certificates representing all of the Option Shares (together with duly executed stock powers or assignment without certificate or other instrument of transfer acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent, in blank) to be held by the Escrow Agent until termination of this Agreement.
