Dynamic is a worldwide  provider of  executive  education  seminars via distance
learning  formats  and has an  on-going  relationship  with  the  University  of
Arkansas  Sam M.  Walton  College  of  Business  through  the  reformatting  and

                      generated by the University of Arkansas  programs in China
                      through   MJ   Education's   sponsorship.   It  has   been

                      Dynamic will be entitled to a percent of revenues equal to
                      20%  of  MJ   Education's   share,   preserving  the  same
                      comparative relationship as set forth above.

B)                    Dynamic  shall  receive  its  compensation  for as long as
