transaction (a “Going Public Transaction”) with a public shell corporation

the Company’s approval.
 

 
B.

to:
 
(i) coordinate and supervise a training program for the purpose of facilitating
new management’s operation of Pubco. It is HFG’s obligation to introduce third

engaged);

or the Company; (The detailed arrangement will be based upon the mutually
acceptable terms reached by all related parties in a further discussion)
 
(iv) coordinate with the Company’s legal counsel in the preparation and assembly

parties agreeing to work together to reach mutually acceptable terms for any
future financings.

provisions. The Financing will be structured as an all or nothing offering up to
$25million USD (the “Minimum Offering”) and as a best efforts offering up to

or individual who facilitates the Financing, and is eligible under applicable

3. Financing Conditions and Contingencies. The Company acknowledges that the
closing of the Financing addressed in this Agreement will be contingent upon the
Company’s commitment to ensure that immediately after the closing of the
Financing and the Going Public Transaction Pubco shall file a registration

exchanged and (ii) shares of Pubco’s common stock held by HFG or any affiliated
person or entity. It is understood that offering proceeds will not be released
from escrow until the registration statement is filed with the SEC. Furthermore,
the Company’s shareholders will agree that in the event the Company fails to
report net income in its US GAAP audited financial statements for the 12 month
period ending June 30, 2007 that is at least 65% greater than the 2006 NI (the “

the Financing and to the previous shell company shareholders shares of Pubco
that they will receive as a result of their participation in the Going Public
Transaction in accordance with the following provisions:
 
The Company’s shareholders shall place into escrow the identical number of
shares of Pubco common stock held by the investors in the Financing and HFG
immediately upon the closing of the Going Public Transaction (the “Make Good
Shares”). In the event the Company fails to report the Projected 2007 NI for the
12 month period ending June 30, 2007, the escrow agent will transfer
collectively to the investors in the Financing and to HFG that number of Make
Good Shares based from the following formula:
 
((Projected 2007 NI-Actual Reported Net Income for the 12 Month Period Ended
June 30, 2007)/ Projected 2007 NI) X Make Good Shares
 
The Company will ensure that the Make Good Shares will be delivered within ten
business days of the date the audit for fiscal 2007 is completed and will be
registered under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 for purposes of resale,
which registration statement shall be filed with the SEC within 30 days of the
delivery of the Make Good Shares. The registration statement shall remain

Pubco’s common stock held by the original stockholders of The Company shall not
represent less than 51% of all the issued and outstanding shares of Pubco’s
common stock following the issuance of the Make Good Shares.

 
4. Exclusivity. HFG shall have the exclusive right for a period of six months
(the “Exclusivity Period”) from the date of this Agreement to assist the Company
in its efforts to affect the Financing. However, the right of exclusivity
granted hereunder shall terminate in the event HFG advises the Company that it
either unwilling or unable to facilitate the Financing. In addition, the Company
agrees that in the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason, other
than upon the completion of a Financing, it shall not enter into discussions or
negotiations with or close a financing, regardless of terms, with any party
introduced by HFG as a possible investor or placement agent for the Financing,
each of which shall be listed on Schedule “D” to this Agreement at the time of
introduction and shall be confirmed in written by the company, for a period of
one years following the date of termination of this Agreement.
 
5. Authorization. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Company hereby appoints HFG to act on a best efforts basis as its exclusive
consultant during the Authorization Period (as hereinafter defined). HFG hereby
accepts such appoint, with it being expressly acknowledged that HFG is acting in
the capacity of independent contractor and not as agent of either the Company,
affiliates of the Company resulting from the Restructuring, or Pubco.

Financing or the Going Public Transaction is not consummated, nor shall it hold
HFG liable for any damages suffered by the Company as a result of the Company’s
inability to consummate either the Restructuring, the Financing or the Going
Public Transaction. However, in the event HFG commits an act constituting either
willful misconduct or gross negligence which makes it impossible to complete
either the Financing or the Going Public Transaction, even though the Company
achieved the established performance thresholds set forth herein, HFG shall
indemnify the Company against all costs expensed in accordance with this
Agreement, including legal, accounting and other fees and expenses, arising from
the Company’s efforts to complete the Financing and the Going Public
