A. FFAX is a publicly held corporation that currently has no operating
business.
B. CXNC is a privately held corporation, which is a global provider of
financial, economic and business information on the People's Republic of China,
(the "Business").
C. The parties propose, as of the Effective Time (as hereinafter
defined), that FFAX shall acquire ownership of 100% of the outstanding common
shares of CXNC (the "Acquisition"), as a result of which (a) CXNC will become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of FFAX and (b) the current holders of the outstanding
common shares of CXNC (the "CXNC Shareholders") will receive as consideration
for the Acquisition shares of FFAX common stock as hereinafter set forth.
D. The Acquisition is to be effectuated as a non-taxable reorganization
under Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").

representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, the
parties hereby agree as follows:

The Acquisition

issued shares of FFAX common stock (the "FFAX Shares") to be issued to the CXNC
Shareholders in amounts calculated in accordance with Article Two.
ARTICLE TWO

issued to each of the CXNC Shareholders for their respective CXNC Shares shall
be calculated in accordance with the formula in Section 2.02, using an exchange
ratio of two (2) for one (1) (the "Exchange Ratio"). The Exchange Ratio was

the facts or circumstances relating to the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified
Party shall cause its counsel to be available to the Indemnifying Party or its
