assets from another corporation in a transaction in which the Tax basis of the
acquired assets was determined, in whole or in part, by reference to the Tax

ConnGame Real Properties in Section 3.01(m) of the ConnGame Disclosure Schedule
are all occupied pursuant to land use rights sold or granted to
ConnGame. ConnGame possesses good leasehold to its Leased Properties
pursuant to valid and subsisting Leases held by it. With respect to
any land use rights sold or granted or purported to have been sold or granted to

other certificates and all other documents of title and such certificates and
documents of title are valid and subsisting and in full force and
effect.
(vi) Save

other matters or things which adversely affect the value of the ConnGame Real
Properties or the proper use and enjoyment thereof for the purpose of the
business now being carried on at such properties.
(viii) The
Leases contain no right of termination by the landlord thereof except on grounds
of non-payment of rent, breach of covenant or insolvency. There are

exercise any power of entry upon or of taking possession of any ConnGame Real
Properties or which would otherwise restrict or terminate the continued
possession or occupation thereof.
(ix) The
Leased Properties are not subject to any outgoings other than general and water

restrictions, reservations, conditions, agreements, statutory requirements,
by-laws, orders, building regulations and other stipulations and regulations
affecting the ConnGame Real Properties and their use, including the terms of all
Leases, and the use of such properties does not contravene the same and no
notice of any alleged breach of any of the terms of any such Lease has been
served on ConnGame. Without limiting the foregoing, the current use
by ConnGame of the ConnGame Real Properties and all of the buildings, structures
and appurtenances situated thereon is in compliance with all zoning or planning

result in the forfeiture, avoidance, withdrawal or non-renewal of or restriction
on or amendment to the same. All such properties are used by ConnGame
for legal purposes and ConnGame has not violated any Legal Requirement or any
Governmental Requirement of the PRC or elsewhere relating to land or
property. Seller and New Crown is not aware of any facts, matters or
any notice or order served by any Governmental Authority which may adversely
affect the right of ConnGame to use such properties for the purpose for which
they are presently being used or intended to be used. None of such
properties is subject to any actual or threatened condemnation or other

conforms in all respects with the requirements of the relevant
Lease.

Indemnified Parties in connection with, arising out of, or resulting from any of
the following:
(i) any
breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by CAE in this
Agreement; or
(ii) any
failure by CAE to perform any agreement, covenant or obligation of CAE pursuant

8.03 Procedure
for Indemnification Claims.
(a) In
order for a CAE Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (collectively
referred to as an “Indemnified Party”) to
be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect
of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand for a Loss made by any Person
other than the parties against the Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim"),
such Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice thereof to the party against
whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party")
promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party
Claim (and in any event within 15 days after first becoming aware of the facts
giving rise to such Third Party Claim), describing in reasonable detail the
facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or
method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other
information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably
request.
(b) The
Indemnifying Party shall have the right at any time to assume the defense
thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the
Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third
Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. If the
Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified
Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make
available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials
and information in the Indemnified Party's possession or under the Indemnified
Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying
Party. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a
Third Party Claim, if there is a reasonable probability that a claim may
materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of
money damages or other monetary payments, the Indemnifying Party shall not,
without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably
withheld), settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any
judgment that (A) provides for relief other than the payment of monetary
damages, (B) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
claimant to the Indemnified Party a release from all Liability in respect to
such claim, or (C) contains an admission of Liability or violation of any
applicable law.
35
(c)
In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying
Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against
or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party
shall deliver written notice of such claim promptly to the Indemnifying Party
(and in any event within 15 days of first becoming aware of the facts giving
rise to such claim), describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to
any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of
the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect
thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.

On
December 31, 2009, ConnGame had outstanding short term loan due to Xx.
Xxxx Jun (唐骏) in the
amount of $1,509,390 (RMB 10,320,000). On January 12, 2010 Xx.
Xxxx Jun increased his loan to ConnGame in the amount $877,642 (RMB
6,000,000) leading to an outstanding loan balance of $ 2,387,032 (RMB
16,320,000). The additional loan did not bear any interest,
covenants, or collateral requirements. Subsequently, on January
13, 2010, ConnGame repaid Xx. Xxxx Jun $1,345,698 (RMB 9,200,000) leaving
an outstanding a balance of $1,041,334 (RMB 7,120,000). On
January 19, 2010, Xx. Xxxx agreed to convert the remaining outstanding
loan balance of $1,041,334 (RMB 7,120,000) to equity and will register
this capital with the PRC. ConnGame does not believe that it
will be subject to any income tax consequences resulting from Xx. Xxxx
converting debt outstanding to him, to registered equity
capital.
|
The loan
of $1,509,390 to ConnGame was extended by Xx. Xxxx Jun. At December
31, 2009, the loan bore zero interest and was payable on demand. The loan did
not securitize by any collateral. Subsequent to December 31, 2009 the
loan was increased, and was later partially repaid, and the outstanding balance
was converted to an equity interest. Refer to Note 8
“Subsequent Events” for further details.

On
January 8, 2010, Xx. Xxxx Su Ping transferred her entire interest in
ConnGame to Xx. Xxxx Jun. Her entire interest represented the

interest in ConnGame.

January 13, 2010, ConnGame increased its registered capital from $60,334
(RMB 500,000) to $1,449,914 (RMB 10,000,000). The increase of
capital was a result of an investment made by Xx. Xxxx Jun and Xx. Xxx in
the amounts of $1,111,664 (RMB 7,600,000) and $277,916 (RMB 1,900,000),
respectively, totaling $1,389,580 (RMB 9,500,000). As a result

20% ownership interest in ConnGame,
respectively.

future agreed upon date. It is probable that Boke will become
public listed corporation in the PRC. Xx. Xxxx Jun is
responsible for any fees or potential capital gains tax from the future
transfer of the asset back to Xx. Xxxx Jun. ConnGame has no
direct benefit or risk for the shares registered in its
