B. In light of the above services given to Party A by Party B, Party A agrees to confer the operating right on Party B so that Party B can operate the sole and exclusive right to advertising agency given to Party A by Fujian Education TV Station and enjoy the revenue from operating the sole and exclusive right. Party B agrees to accept the operating right and enjoy the advertising revenue as prescribed in this Agreement.
C. Both parties agree that Party A can send high-rank management personnel to Party B at any time or demand a relevant report from Party B through reasonable notice, so as to supervise Party B’s operation of the sole and exclusive right to advertising agency and fulfillment of other liabilities prescribed in this Agreement. Thus Party A can ensure that all the liabilities prescribed in “the Agency Agreement” shall be properly and completely fulfilled and all the revenues enjoyed.
D. Except for what is prescribed in the above covenants, Party A need not pay any additional service fees, and Party A need not pay any additional consideration for the acquisition of the exclusive right to operate.
Article 2 Cost and expenses

To ensure that Party B can fully enjoy the operating right, with the consent of Party A, Party B has the right to sign by itself or in stand of Party A various agreements with a third party and take necessary actions to fulfill all the liabilities and enjoy all the revenues prescribed in the above Article 1 and Article 2.
Article 4 Status of Party B and Indemnification
Party B shall know that Party B itself is not one of the two parties of “the Agency Agreement” so it does not have directly the rights and liabilities prescribed in “the Agency Agreement”. However, if it is for Party B’s failure to meet the demands of Party A and “the Agency Agreement” when supplying relevant services that Party A has been demanded indemnification and suffered losses, Party A has the right to demand indemnification from Party B for the losses.

Both parties will give necessary support to each other so as to carry out the cooperation described above smoothly.
