continuous running time of approximately Ninety (90) Minutes (the “Picture”).

AND WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into a distribution agreement
respecting the commercial exploitation, distribution and licensing of the
Picture, upon the terms and conditions herein contained.

NOW THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed by the parties hereto as follows:

1.

GRANT OF RIGHTS, TERM

1.1

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Owner hereby grants to Distributor,
for the term of Five (5) years from the date of execution of this Agreement (the
"Initial Term"), the sole and exclusive right, license and privilege to  grant
licenses for the use of the rights to the Picture in the Territory in any and
all media, formats, gauges and languages whether known or hereafter devised
(“Rights”) including, without limitation, all theatrical, home video,
television, multi-media, internet, interactive, CD-Rom, allied, subsidiary and
all incidental rights therein and thereto throughout the entire universe,
including USA (the "Territory"). All Rights in the Picture granted in the
Agreement throughout the Term in the Territory shall be held by, and in the name
of Distributor. All Rights granted under this Agreement shall vest in
Distributor as of the date of execution of this Agreement, are irrevocable and
shall remain vested in Distributor and its successors or assigns whether this
Agreement is terminated, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever and
Owner shall not be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief. The Picture
has been produced at the sole cost, expense, and risk of Owner (or its
principals). Distributor shall in no event be obligated for the cost of
production of the Picture or any part thereof or any payments to third parties
in connection with the production or distribution of the Picture or the cost of
any of the items to be delivered hereunder unless specifically stated to the
contrary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Owner nor Distributor nor any
of their sub-distributors and/or licensees shall permit the Picture to be
released, exhibited, distributed and/or exploited over the Internet and/or
worldwide web (except for advertising and promotion of the Picture, but not for
as such term is customarily defined in the motion picture and internet
industries) unless said release, exhibition, distribution and/or exploitation is
subject to a technology that restricts access to the Picture from the Territory
such that any such distribution will not encroach upon Owners’ and/or
Distributor’s rights and/or impact upon Owners’ and/or Distributor’s contractual
obligations to their licensees, distributors and exhibitors, and/or infringe
upon any of Owners’ and/or Distributor’s rights in and to the Picture.

1.2

The Initial Term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended for an
additional period of Five (5) years (the “Extension Term”) if the “Gross

Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$ 500,000).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that Distributor desires to
use a sub-distributor, sub-agent and/or sub-licensee to sell, license,
distribute the Territory Rights to one or more distributors, then Distributor
may increase the Distribution Fee an additional ten percent (10%), provided that
Distributor receives Owner’s prior written approval for such increase.

ACCOUNTING:

8.1

Distributor agrees to forward to Owner a written statement ("Statement") in
reasonable detail with respect to the Picture for each of the following periods
of time ("Accounting Periods"): (a) quarterly for the first two (2) years
thereafter, (b) semi-annually for the next three (3) years thereafter, and (c)
annually thereafter.  All Statements shall be sent not later than thirty (30)
days after the end of the respective Accounting Period and shall be accompanied
by all sums due to Owner thereunder.

All sums due to Owner hereunder shall be paid in U.S. Dollars, and if converted
from another currency, shall be converted at the exchange rate prevailing on the
date such payment is made to Distributor.  All costs of currency conversion,
banking charges, permit fees and transmittal costs with respect to Owner's share
of Gross Receipts shall be paid by Owner, but only to the extent that same are
not deducted above as Distribution Expenses.

 Distributor agrees to maintain records of all transactions made by Distributor
with and for the Picture. Each Statement shall become final and binding on Owner
and Owner shall neither have nor make any claim against Distributor with respect
to such Statement unless within one (1) year of the receipt thereof, Owner
advises Distributor in writing of any objection to it, setting forth the basis
for such objection.  Distributor shall have no obligation to furnish Statements
as provided for herein in any Accounting Period for which no additional monies
are due Owner hereunder; provided, however, that Distributor shall in any event
furnish Statements as provided for herein for each Accounting Period for a
period of two (2) years from the date hereof, and annually thereafter, upon
written request of Owner.  

 

Distributor agrees that Owner may, once during each one (1) year period in which
sums are payable to Owner hereunder, but only once with respect to any Statement
rendered hereunder, audit Distributor's books and records and make extracts and
copies thereof for the purpose of determining the accuracy of Distributor's
Statements rendered to Owner.  All audits shall be made during regular business
hours upon reasonable notice, and shall be conducted on Owner's behalf by an
independent Certified Public Accountant. Each examination shall be made at
Owner's own expense at Distributor's regular place of business where the books
and records are maintained and shall not exceed thirty (30) days.

 

The relationship between Owner and Distributor hereunder with respect to the
payment of Owner's share of Gross Receipts is one of creditor-debtor, and in no
event shall Distributor be deemed to be a fiduciary, pledgeholder or trustee
with respect thereto.  

Owner acknowledges that Distributor has not made any representation of the
amount of Gross Receipts, if any, that will be obtained from Distributor's
distribution and exploitation of the Acquired Rights.

9.

ANCILLARY RIGHTS AND INCIDENTAL RIGHTS:

9.1

Use Distributor's name, corporate logo (i.e. “Golden Spirit Enterprises”) and
trademark on the positive prints and any and all videotape versions and/or
formats of the Picture and in trailers thereof, and in all advertising and
publicity relating thereto, in such a manner, position and form as Distributor
may elect.  Distributor shall also have the right to indicate on all positive
prints and any and all videotape versions and/or formats of the Picture and in
all trailers and other advertising and publicity that it or one or any of its
sub-licenses is the Distributor of the Picture, in such manner and position as
it shall determine; and,

9.2

Assert, prosecute, handle and settle in any and all parts of the Territory, all
claims or actions or causes of action against any and all claims or actions or
causes of action against any and all persons for the unauthorized or illegal
use, copying, reproduction, release, distribution, exhibition, or performance of
the Picture or any part or versions thereof, or of the literary, dramatic or
musical material upon which it is based or which is used therein, or any part or
version thereof, or for the enforcement or protection of all or any rights
herein granted or purported to be granted to Distributor, together with full and
complete authority and power of attorney in the name of Owner or otherwise, to
do all or any of the foregoing, and to execute, acknowledge, verify and deliver
any and all consents, documents, releases or other papers or documents of any
kind pertaining thereto or any thereof in the name of, or on behalf of, Owner.

10.

GENERAL

10.1

Nothing in this Agreement will be construed so as to create an employer-employee
relationship between the parties.  It is expressly understood that the parties
are independent contractors and no employment or partnership of any kind is
intended between the parties. Owner acknowledges that all material terms and
conditions herein

are and shall remain confidential and Owner warrants and represents to
Distributor that Owner shall not circulate, reproduce and/or distribute copies
of this Agreement or discuss or reveal its contents in whole or in part, to any
third party without Distributor’s prior written approval

10.2

Any demand, notice of other communication (“Communication”) required or
permitted to be given in connection with this Agreement will be given in writing
and may be given by personal delivery, by registered mail or by facsimile
addressed to the recipient at the address noted on the first page of this
Agreement, or such other address as may be designated by notice by any party to
the other in accordance with this Agreement.

10.3

Any Communication given by personal delivery will be conclusively deemed to have
been given on the day of its delivery provided it is received during regular
business hours on a business day or otherwise on the next business day and, if
given by mail, on the fifth (5th) day following its deposit in the mail and, if
given by facsimile, on the day of its transmittal provided it is received during
regular business hours on a business day or otherwise on the next business day.
 

10.4

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, may not be
modified except by a written instrument signed by both parties and supersedes
and replaces all previous agreements, understanding, negotiations and
representations between the parties.

10.5

No waiver by either party of any breach hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any
preceding or succeeding breach hereof.  All of Owner's and Distributor's rights
and remedies (unless provided herein to the contrary) shall be cumulative.  The
exercise by either party of rights or remedies (at law or in equity) under any
one provision hereof shall not be deemed an election of remedies.  

10.6

Owner shall be entitled to all remedies and rights available in a court of law
in the event of a breach of a representation, warranty or agreement by
Distributor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is hereby acknowledged and
agreed that the Rights granted to Distributor hereunder are of special, unique,
unusual, extraordinary, and intellectual character, giving them peculiar value,
the loss of which cannot be adequately compensated in damage in an action at
law, and a breach hereof by Owner of any of the provisions hereof would cause
Distributor irreparable injury and damage.  Accordingly, in the event of a
breach by Owner of the provisions hereof, Distributor shall be entitled to
specific performance and injunctive relief and such other equitable relief which
may be appropriate.  Distributor's resort to such equitable relief shall not be
construed as or be deemed to be a waiver of any other rights or remedies to
which Distributor may be entitled at law for damages or otherwise. Unless
expressly provided to the contrary herein, Owner shall have no right to cancel,
revoke, rescind or terminate this Agreement or any term hereof or to interfere
by writ, injunction or other legal process with the distribution, advertising,
publicizing, exhibition or other exploitation of the Picture.  Owner's sole
remedy in the event of a breach hereof by Distributor shall be an action at law
for damages, if any.  No action or omission of Distributor shall constitute a
breach of this Agreement unless Distributor shall fail to cure same within
twenty (20) days after Distributor's receipt of written notice from Owner
setting forth in detail the nature of said breach.

10.7

Each party shall perform any act and execute and deliver any document reasonably
required to carry out the terms of this Agreement in accordance with its true
intent and meaning.

   

10.8

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile transmission.  

10.9

Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of each of the parties
hereto.  Distributor may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder to a
company of which May Joan Liu is the principal of operations.  Any controversy
or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved by
binding and expedited arbitration in Los Angeles, California under the rules of
the American Arbitration Association.   If those rules do not exist, Owner and
Distributor hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the State and/or Federal
Courts in the County of Los Angeles, California.

10.10

In the event that any terms, conditions, covenant, agreement, requirement or
provision herein contained shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be unenforceable, illegal, void or contrary to public policy, such terms,
conditions, covenant, agreement, requirement or provision shall be of no effect
whatsoever upon the binding force or effectiveness of any of the other terms or
conditions hereof, it being the intention and declaration of the parties hereto
that had they, or either of them, known or such unenforceability, illegality,
invalidity or contradiction to public policy, they would have entered into a
contract, each with the other, containing all of the other terms, conditions,
covenants, agreements, requirements and provisions hereof.  

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hand and seals as of the
date and year first above written.
