     NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

1.   LOAN

1.1  Lender agrees to provide a loan to Borrower with the principal amount equal
     to the US Dollar equivalent of RMB 50,000 in accordance with the terms and
     conditions set forth herein (the "Loan"). Term for such loan shall be ten
     (10) years which may be extended upon the agreement of the Parties (the
     "Term"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the following circumstances,
     Borrower shall repay the Loan regardless if the Term has expired:

     (1)  Borrower deceases or becomes a person without legal capacity or with
          limited legal capacity;

     (2)  Borrower commits a crime or is involved in a criminal act; or

     (3)  Lender or its designated assignee can legally purchase Borrower's
          interest in ICP Company under the PRC law and Lender chooses to do so.

1.2  Lender shall remit the amount of the Loan to an account designated by
     Borrower within seven (7) days after receiving Borrower's disbursement
     notice in writing, provided that all of the conditions precedent to
     disbursement set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement have been fully
     satisfied. Borrower shall deliver a written confirmation to Lender within
     one (1) day after receiving the amount of the Loan.

1.3  The Loan shall only be used by Borrower to invest in ICP Company's
     registered capital. Without Lender's prior written consent, Borrower shall
     not use the Loan for any other purpose or transfer or pledge his interest
     in ICP Company to any third party.

1.4  Borrower can only repay the Loan by transferring all of his interest in ICP
     Company to Lender or a third party designated by Lender when such transfer
     is permitted under the PRC law.

1.5  In the event (1) Borrower transfers his interest to the Lender or a third
     party transferee designated by Lender to the extent permitted by applicable
     PRC laws or (2) Borrower receives any dividends from ICP Company, Borrower
     shall pay the full amount of the proceeds it receives from such transfer or
     from such dividends to Lender regardless if the amount of such proceeds
     exceeds or is less than the amount of the Loan.

1.6  Lender and Borrower hereby jointly agree and confirm that Lender has the
     right to, but has no obligation to, purchase or designate a third party
     (legal person or natural person) to purchase all or part of Borrower's
     interest in ICP Company at a price equal to the amount of the Loan (or at
     the lowest price permitted by applicable PRC laws if the foregoing
     determined price is not permitted in accordance with applicable PRC laws)
     when such purchase is allowed under the PRC law. If Lender or the third
     party assignee designated by Lender only purchases part of Borrower's
     interest in ICP Company, the purchase price shall be reduced on a pro rata
     basis.

1.7  In the event when Borrower transfers his interest in ICP Company to Lender
     or a third party transferee designated by Lender, (i) if the amount of (1)
     the actual transfer price paid by Lender or the third party transferee and
     (2) the dividends (if any) received by Borrower from ICP Company equals or
     is less than the principal amount of the Loan, to the extent permitted by
     the applicable PRC laws, the Loan shall be deemed as interest free; or (ii)
     if the amount of (1) the actual transfer price paid by Lender or the third
     party transferee and (2) the dividends (if any) received by Borrower from
     ICP Company is higher than the principal amount of the Loan, the amount
     exceeding the principal amount of the Loan shall be deemed as an interest
     accrued on the Loan and paid by Borrower to Lender in full.
