     In accordance with the requirements of the Contract Law of the People’s Republic of
China, the parties hereto have, after mutual consultation, unanimously agreed to enter into this
Contract in respect of the technology development of the project titled Vegetable Logistics
Management System for Huidong Base of China Linong.

     I. Description of the Technology hereunder, its Scope and
Requirements

     For the purpose of meeting the business demand of China Linong International Limited
(hereinafter referred to as “China Linong”) in the areas of logistics, such as the formulation of
Huidong Base’s planting scheme, administration of planting specifications, field planting,
harvesting and source tracing, the “Vegetable Logistics Management System for Huidong Base of China
Linong” is developed, which becomes one of the key technologies for the information management of
China Linong and is further applied generally to all bases of China Linong Group. The technology
hereunder covers:

     1. Planting Scheme Management Subsystem

     The subsystem is designed to have the functions as follows: it provides services for the Base
in formulating an annual planting scheme, coordinates among Huidong Base, Guangdong Company and
Linong Group with respect to the reporting and adjustment of their planting schemes, and solves
the problems, such as what, when and how much to plant, planting costs and estimated planting
revenues. The specific functions of the subsystem include such function modules as production
schedule and adjustment of a planting scheme, its assessment (cost and output forecasts),
implementation and statistics.

     2. Field Files Integrated Management Subsystem

     The subsystem is designed to have the functions as follows: an integrated

1

 

management is made in respect of the field planting, use of labor and injection of materials for
each batch of products during planting period. Records of field planting are the base of quality
control and source tracing of products whereas labor records form the base of employees’ wages and
their performance appraisal. The subsystem is operated by providing support to both portable PDAs
(smartphones) and personal computers. The specific functions of the subsystem include pesticide and
fertilization management, field operation records, review and reporting of field files, data
statistics of field files, labor records and notices, statistics of employees’ wages, management of
materials injected, and output of personalized customization of statements.

     3. Standardized Planting Specifications Management Subsystem

     The subsystem is designed to have the
functions as follows: it builds up a database of standardized planting specifications for China
Linong and completes the formulation, change and release of planting specifications. The
standardized planting specifications for all kinds of vegetables form the base of the management
of planting process. The specific functions of the subsystem include the creation, release and
evaluation of standardized planting specifications.

2

 

     4. Source Tracing Management Subsystem

     The subsystem is designed to have the functions as follows: management can be made throughout
the process from seedlings breeding, growing, harvesting to processing and packaging for a single
batch of products by using one-dimensional barcode to trace the source via website. The subsystem
will break down sources into internal and external sources for separate publication. The specific
functions of the subsystem include barcode generation and printing management, batch management,
internal source management and external source inquiry.

     5. Inventory Taking Management Subsystem for Existing Products

     The subsystem is designed to have the functions as follows: users at the three tiers — Linong
Group, its subsidiaries and bases — can conduct inventory taking and statistics in respect of any
resources under their respective management on a real-time basis. Inventory taking covers total
planting areas, expected total production capacity, cumulative total quantity of plants harvested,
expected remaining production capacity, harvested, retired or damaged areas and actual field area.
The specific functions of the subsystem include the gathering of inventory taking information, its
review and reporting, as well as statistic analysis.

     6. Harvest Management Subsystem

     The subsystem is designed to have the functions as follows: it provides services for sales
management through the formulation and reporting of monthly and weekly harvest plans. A harvest
plan primarily covers the name of plants, their batch number, base, zone, area, sowing period,
planting period, expected areas that can be harvested, expected harvest duration, expected quantity
of plants harvested per day, expected production capacity per mu, and expected sales amounts. The
specific functions of the subsystem include the formulation and reporting of harvest plans,
communication of harvest targets to the lower level, and statistics of

3

 

harvest plans.

     7. Seedlings Breeding Management

     The subsystem is designed to have the functions as follows: a seedlings breeding plan is
formulated in accordance with the timetable of a planting scheme and the areas involved therein,
and seedlings breeding management is made, including records of field files and all types of cost
accounting during seedlings breeding period. As a separate part of the whole production process,
seedlings breeding is independently managed and any cost in connection with seedlings breeding is
counted as planting cost. The specific functions of the subsystem include the management of
seedlings breeding plans, records of field files during seedlings breeding period, labor
management for seedlings breeding, management of items injected for seedlings breeding, and the
aggregate of total costs for
seedlings breeding.

     8. Basic Data Management

     The subsystem is designed to have the functions as follows: unified code, name and measurement
unit are assigned in respect of the basic information of the subsystem. The management of basic
data includes the management of items injected (pesticides and fertilizers), sheds, products, fixed
assets, consumables, working partners, standardized planting specifications. The specific functions
of the subsystem include the input of basic data, its examination and approval, release and
inquiry, as well as the synchronization of basic data of all subsystems.

     9. Tracing Wholesale Market Trend Subsystem

     The subsystem is designed to have the functions as follows: when making arrangement for its
planting scheme, the Company may search for previous product prices of all markets quickly through
the subsystem to make an analysis on the pattern of price fluctuation, which will be key reference
for the Company to formulate its plans. The specific functions of the subsystem include the
following: it can regularly aggregate and input the sales data collected by the Company from all
markets, as well as the price data of products of the target markets which the

4

 

Company is concerned into the subsystem, and have an option to calculate the weekly,
bi-weekly and monthly price of a product and to draw a curve chart for it by selecting a
particular product, market and time slot.

     10. Customer Channels Management Subsystem

     The subsystem is designed to have the functions as follows: when making arrangement for its
planting scheme, the Company may search quickly through the subsystem for the key details of its
previous transactions with customers, including trading units, time, transaction volume,
transaction amount and other remarks (such as market price and climate, etc., at the time of
transactions), which help the Company to make an analysis on the pattern of its customers’ demands
so as to better forecast the demand of all kinds of products. The specific functions of the
subsystem include the following: it can regularly aggregate and input the details of transactions
between the Company and its customers into the subsystem, which facilitates the inquiry for
corresponding sales details of a particular customer based on conditions such as the name of
customer, base, product, and time.
