Accordingly, Party B should pay RMB 1.7 million yuan as liquidated
damages, which can be deducted by Party A from the rental fee or payment paid by Party B. If it is insufficient，Party B should pay the remainder.

yuan per square meter monthly from the date of using the Office (June 23, 2008) until the date of return.

the Office under the name of Party B, Party A should compensate Party B RMB 1.7 million and the agreement will carry on.
5) If the Office is sealed up by the judiciary or the transfer is limited by the executive authority, which results in the failure to transfer the Office under the name of Party B, then Party B has the right to terminate this agreement. Under these circumstances, Party A should only collect rent of 400,000 yuan
from the lease payment and give back any other received payments to Party B.
