              a.

            	
              Joseph
                Formichelli as Chief Executive Officer of Celsia, upon the approval
                of the

              d.

            	
              Potentially
                other Core partners and affiliates as
                required

            

    

    
      	 	
              e.

            	
              Core
                will identify other employees for future assignments to be defined
                as the
                organization expands.

            

    

    

    Core
      partners will work with existing Celsia employees to provide advice, plans,
      and
      executional management of those plans. They will travel, as required to
      appropriate and required.

    

    
      	 	
              5.

            	
              CORE
                DELIVERABLES: 

            

    

    
      	 	
              a.

            	
              Core
                will establish a regular series of functional management meetings
                that
                will be responsible for setting goals, assigning responsibilities
                and
                measuring progress in the key areas of the
                business.

            

    

    
      	 	
              b.

            	
              Core
                will provide specific functional plans for all management
                areas.

            

    

    
      	 	
              c.

            	
              Core
                will develop a set of metrics and milestones to measure the progress
                of
                each stage of its proposed business plans, including headcount
                requirements. An initial turnaround-phase strategic plan will be
                developed
                within 90 days by the Core team. The objective of this plan will
                be to
                create a path for Celsia to breakeven on cashflow based on penetrating
                its
                currently-identified markets with the current set of technologies
                it
                controls. Later stage plans will identify growth strategies for Celsia
                that may involve making additional investments to exploit a broader
                set of
                market opportunities.

                (1/12th
                of
                the options shares will vest every quarter) UNLESS one of the following
                events occurs, in which case accelerated vesting will

              One-third
                of the remaining unvested shares will vest when Celsia exceeds
                its revenue/profit forecasts (for a quarter) and we can demonstrate
                that
                we are moving into our growth-phase projections for revenue, margins
                and

                the
                subsequent 12 month period. (Note: A win is described as a committed
                contract/DOU or purchase req. which forecasts a volume over 1 one
                year
                program and is reasonable to achieve if Celsia delivers on all

                Celsia’s CEO. All Core personnel are encouraged to use hotels, restaurants
                and rental cars which economize client resources appropriately. Core
                personnel using their own cars will be reimbursed at the current
                IRS
                allowable rate (as of this writing: $0.485 per mile), plus tolls
                and
                parking. Receipts for any expense over $25 (except mileage) will
                be
                provided as backup to Celsia.

                on the 15th
                of
                the month, for the service being provided in the following month.
                (Illustration: Payment for work from August 15 - September 15 is

                be
                terminated earlier, upon 60 day written notice by either party. Celsia
                will continue to pay Core its agreed upon monthly base fee during
                the
                period from notification of termination through actual termination

    Re:
      Liquidated
      Damages Provisions

     

    Dear
      Mr.
      Yu:

     

    This
      letter will confirm our agreement and understanding with respect to a
      modification of the liquidated damages provisions contained in the securities
      purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated May 8, 2007 among China
      Education Alliance, Inc. (the “Company”), Barron Partners, LP, Eos Holdings and
      Hua-Mei 21st Century Partners, LP (the “Investors”), as amended, and the
      registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) dated May 8,
      2007, by and among the Company and the Investors, as follows:

     

    Section
      2.8(i) of the Registration Rights Agreement is amended to eliminate liquidated
      damages for failure to file the Initial Registration Statement by the Filing
      Date.

     

    The
      parties agree that the Purchase Agreement is amended to provide that wherever
      the Purchase Agreement provides for the delivery of shares of Series A Preferred
      Stock in satisfaction of an obligation under the Purchase Agreement, a share
      of
      Series A Preferred Stock shall have a value equal to the Liquidation Value
      as
      set forth in the Certificate of Designation.

     

    The
      parties acknowledge that the Company has issued 208,456 shares of Series A
      Convertible Preferred Stock as a result of the failure of the Company to satisfy
      its obligations under Section 6.10 and 6.11 of the Purchase Agreement as of
      August 5, 2007 and that such shares represent the full and complete
      liquidated damages payment due to the Investors from the Company from August
      5,
      2007 through October 15, 2007. 

     

    The
      Investors waive all further liquidated damages under the Purchase Agreement
      and
      the Registration Rights Agreement through December 31, 2007.

     

    Except
      as
      modified by this letter, the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights
      Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

     

    Please
      confirm your agreement with the foregoing.
