Six Forks Road, Suite 270 in Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 ("AmericaTowne"), and BAMYLINE SERVICES, LLC doing business at 916 Windermere Lane, Wake Forest, NC 27587 ("Exporter").  AmericaTowne and Exporter are collectively referred to as the "Parties" or each individually as a "Party".

	     WHEREAS, AmericaTowne is a publicly-reporting company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Through those agreements disclosed in AmericaTowne's filings, it represents herein that it has the exclusive right, title and interest in certain intellectual property rights and other assets used in the introduction, maintenance and facilitation of the exportation of consumer goods into, amongst other countries, China, through the use of an international import trade platform ("AmericaTowne's Exporting Business").

	     WHEREAS, AmericaTowne's Exporting Business consists or will consist of exhibition, showroom and display facilities, support office(s) and staff located in the United States and China, and the platform consists or will consist of a buyer's network, and online websites either directly owned by AmericaTowne or in a partnership with third-parties in order to support the exhibition center, showroom and network to market imported goods and services to consumers in China (collectively referred to as the "AmericaTowne Platform").

	     WHEREAS, the AmericaTowne Platform is designed to save Exporter time, money, and other resources in testing the market to determine if a demand exists for their product or service in China. AmericaTowne will use its buyer's network, and staff in China and elsewhere to make its commercially reasonable best efforts to promote, distribute and market throughout the Exporter's goods and services and identify potential buyers and other business relationships for the Exporter's goods or services.

	     WHEREAS, AmericaTowne's Exporting Business compliments, in certain circumstances, specific businesses under separate agreement with AmericaTowne through Management Services and Lease Agreements ("Management Agreement").  The Parties agree that unless otherwise agreed, the Exporter is not subject to the rights, duties or obligations under the Management Agreement; rather, the rights, duties and obligations set forth herein are distinct from those under the Management Agreement.  The Parties agree that to the extent they are or shall become parties to a Management Agreement, this Agreement and the Management Agreement shall be merged forming a fully integrated agreement under Delaware law, and shall be read consistent with each other.

	Agreement does not terminate AmericaTowne's right to a Transaction Fee under Section 6(c).

	     2. Good and Services Offered Through The AmericaTowne Platform.

	          (f)	Other goods or services deemed appropriate by AmericaTowne based on its expertise and experience in the target markets.

	     3. The AmericaTowne Platform Membership.  For the consideration set forth herein, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, AmericaTowne hereby grants a membership license to Exporter to test, market and sample the Exporter's goods and services in China and any other proper location.

	     4. Sample and Test Market Program. For the consideration set forth herein, AmericaTowne shall provide Exporter with access to and participation in a sample and test market program assessing market acceptance and demand of their products or services through its "Sample and Test Market Program," which incorporates the following terms and conditions (where expanded or contracted where deemed necessary):
 

	          (a)	Exporter may send samples or examples of products or services, respectively, to the AmericaTowne Platform, and if deemed strategically beneficial by AmericaTowne, Exporter may send specific videos, brochures and other promotional material to explain, show, and demonstrate the products or services features to the Chinese consumer and or wholesale customers;

	          (c)	Exporter agrees to be responsible for those costs associated with packaging, shipping and other reasonable and commercially acceptable costs to send the samples to the AmericaTowne Trading Platform, including where applicable, Value Added Tax

		
Page 2

	

	(VAT) or custom costs;

	          (d)	Upon receipt of samples, brochures, and other promotional and marketing materials, AmericaTowne will be responsible for displaying Exporter's goods and services in its online portal, and/or exhibition and showroom facilities in China, as well as marketing Exporter's products through marketing channels. AmericaTowne, in conjunction with any representative of Exporter, will exercise commercially reasonable discretion in determining how Exporter's products and services are exhibited in the AmericaTowne Trading Platform;

	          (e)	AmericaTowne will use its best efforts to match Exporter with an end buyer of its products or services. Exporter agrees that there is no assurance that a demand for its product will exist or an end buyer will be found. The Sample and Test Market Program allows Exporter an opportunity to (i) test the demand and market for its products and service by exhibiting it products or service in the AmericaTowne Platform, and (ii) receive follow-on orders for its products or services, if a demand and buyers exist, without expending normal costs for exporting; and

	          (f)	Exporter has one-year from the Effective Date to participate in the Sample and Test Market Program. Afterwards, provided no transaction has occurred in the AmericaTowne Trading Platform, Exporter agrees to pay a fee equal to 25% of the original Service fee within thirty (30) days (the "Extension Fee").  To the extent the Extension Fee is not paid, Exporter's participation and membership in the Sample and Test Program terminates.  In the event of termination, the Parties agree that the balance of this Agreement remains in full force and effect.

	     5.  Accepted Market Program. Provided that AmericaTowne concludes that the Sample and Test Market Program has resulted in market demand and target consumers for Exporter's goods and services, AmericaTowne will notify Exporter within a commercially reasonable time of its opinions, conclusions and recommendations, and in turn, provide the following services (the "Accepted Market Program"):

	          (a)	Advise Exporter in the negotiation of price, and terms and conditions of sale of Exporter's goods and/or services;

	          (b)	Assist Exporter in all phases of the exporting process, including but not limited to, labeling and preparation for exporting, customs inspection and clearance, shipping, warehousing, and payment; and

	          (c)	Propose form and substance of purchase orders to be presented to the target buyer setting forth, amongst other things, terms and conditions of sale, costs, and payment to the Exporter (or its assignee or designee) with AmericaTowne being responsible for currency exchange into United States dollars;

	          (d)	AmericaTowne will advise Exporter of the various components of the selling price including, but not limited to, normal product costs, shipping costs, other related expenses, and customs and VAT.  Exporter will make the final determination of its sale price offered to the buyer;

	          (e)	AmericaTowne will advise Exporter on available incentives and accommodations

		
Page 3

	

	as a result of AmericaTowne operating out of a Bonded Port Zone in China, such as, but not limited to, making the determination that the buyer assumes VAT and customs costs by including such costs in the price of the product or service, and reduced warehousing and logistics product costs in China;

	          (f)	From time to time state and federal agencies will have marketing and promotional programs to assist small businesses in exporting their products and services.  AmericaTowne will work with Exporter, where warranted, to take advantage of the various funding, grants and promotional opportunities available;

	          (g)	In certain cases, special certification will be required from the appropriate authorities in China, prior to export of Exporter's goods and/or services in conjunction with an end buyer's purchase order.  In such a case, AmericaTowne will assist Exporter in securing the proper certification. Exporter agrees to be responsible for all costs of such certification. Prior to any such certification action, AmericaTowne will advise Exporter, and Exporter will have the sole discretion to determine if a certification is to be obtained, and understand if such certification is obtained, Exporter (or its assignee or designee) is responsible for the costs of certification.

	
     6.  Consideration. Exporter agrees to pay the following consideration for the services set forth herein:
	

	          (a)	Service Fee. Subject to Section 6(c), Exporter agrees to pay AmericaTowne a nonrefundable service fee of $52,500.00 USD on the Effective Date (the "Service Fee"), which is to be applied against the services provided by AmericaTowne in the AmericaTowne Platform, Sample and Test Market Program, and if applicable, Accepted Market Program. The Service fee is to be paid as follows: $4,500 upon signing this agreement; and $2,000 a month for 24 months. At the discretion of AmericaTowne Inc. the Exporter may be required to sign a note for outstanding service fees.

	          (b)	Transaction Fee. Exporter agrees to pay a transaction fee for each transaction between Exporter and the end buyer arranged through or facilitated by AmericaTowne in the amount of 5% (the "Transaction Fee"). The Transaction Fee shall be first deducted by AmericaTowne from the amount the end buyer owes Exporter, plus other fees, if any, agreed to by Exporter with the balance remitted to Exporter within two (2) days of receipt from the end buyer, unless commercial circumstances dictate additional time.

	          (c)	Refund of Service Fee. From time to time there may be products or services that are on the restricted import list in China.  If Exporter's product or service is on this list, AmericaTowne will advise Exporter of such restriction and Exporter will be entitled to a refund of the Service Fee minus any setoffs due under this Agreement, i.e. outstanding Transaction Fee.  This Section 6(c) shall be null and void upon termination of this Agreement, as provided for in Section 1, above.

	     7. Extension of Term.  Provided Exporter's goods and services are in demand and Exporter is processing sales generating Transaction Fees, as set forth in Section 6, within one (1) year from the Effective Date, Exporter shall have an option to (a) continue with its membership under Section 2 at no additional fee, or (b) option of developing single point of sales, distribution, networking, and logistics facilities separate and distinct from AmericaTowne for a mutually

	agreeable reduced rate, which shall be agreed upon in writing prior to thirty (30) days from the termination of one (1) year from the Effective Date.

	     8. Right to Use Promotional Material and Ownership of Samples. Exporter grants AmericaTowne exclusive rights to use the marketing and promotional material provided by Exporter and Exporter certifies that it has complied with any and all intellectual property rights pertaining to the material provided. Any and all Exporter samples sent to the AmericaTowne Platform shall become the property of AmericaTowne once received and will be solely used to promote and market Exporter's products or service within AmericaTowne Platform.

	     9. Country of Origin Taxes and Fees. Exporter agrees that it is solely responsible for paying any and all taxes, if required, to the country of origin of the goods and services. For purchase and sales orders received after the Sample and Test Market Program, Exporter agrees that any customs and VAT payable in China will be paid by either including any such taxes in the end buyer's purchase price in the purchase order, and paying such taxes upon payment by buyer or paying such taxes directly to customs prior to the goods being accepted by the buyer.

	     10. Liability and Claims. AmericaTowne shall in no circumstance be liable to Exporter or authorized users of the AmericaTowne Platform for any error, mistake, misuse, delay, loss or omission whatsoever and howsoever occurring in communications between them or the level of safety with which they are conducted.

The Licensee agrees that, in addition to the license of the Licensed Methods, AmericaTowne has also licensed commercially valuable information which comprises and is a part of the Licensed Methods, including without limitation, operations, marketing, advertising and related information and materials and that the value of this information derives not only from the time, effort and money which went into its compilation, but from the usage of the same by all the licensees of AmericaTowne using the Licensed Methods.

	     The Licensee therefore agrees that other than the Licensed Methods licensed herein, neither the Licensee nor any of its officers, directors, shareholders or members, nor any member of his or their immediate families, shall during the term of this Agreement have any direct or indirect controlling interest as a disclosed or beneficial owner in a "Competitive Business," which is defined as a business comparable in scope, size and purpose to that of AmericaTowne.

	     The Licensee will provide proof of insurance to AmericaTowne prior to execution of the lease set forth in Section 3, above. This proof will show that the insurer has been authorized to inform AmericaTowne in the event any policies lapse or are cancelled. AmericaTowne has the right to change the minimum amount of insurance the Licensee is required to maintain by giving the Licensee prior reasonable notice, giving due consideration to what is reasonable and customary in the similar business. The Licensee's failure to comply with the insurance provisions set forth herein shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. In the event of any lapse in insurance coverage, in addition to all other remedies, the AmericaTowne shall have the right to demand that the Licensee cease operations at the Authorized Location until coverage is reinstated, or, in the alternative, pay any delinquencies in premium payments and charge the same back to the Licensee.
