SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

          This SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 11, 2009, is by and among China Interactive Education, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“CIE”), MenQ Technology Group Limited., a British Virgin Islands company (“MenQ”), and Liu Hai Qi, the sole shareholder of MenQ (the “Shareholder”). Each of the parties to this Agreement is individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively, as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex A hereto.

BACKGROUND

          A.      MenQ has 50,000 ordinary shares (the “MenQ Stock”) issued and outstanding, all of which are held by the Shareholder. The Shareholder has agreed to transfer all of his shares of MenQ Stock in exchange for 60,400,000 newly issued shares of the Common Stock, $.001 par value, of CIE (the “CIE Stock”), constituting 92.92% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CIE on a fully diluted basis, as of and immediately after the Closing.

          B.      The Board of Directors of each of CIE and MenQ has determined that it is desirable to effect this plan of reorganization and share exchange.

AGREEMENT

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
Exchange of Shares

          1.1.      Share Exchange. At the Closing, the Shareholder shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to CIE its MenQ Stock free and clear of all Liens, in exchange for 60,400,000 newly issued shares of CIE Stock (referred to herein as the “Shares”).

          1.2.      Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transactions”) shall take place at the offices of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP in Washington, DC, commencing at 9:00 a.m. local time on the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Transactions (other than conditions with respect to actions that the respective parties will take at Closing) or such other date and time as the Parties may mutually determine (the “Closing Date”).


ARTICLE II
Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder

          The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to CIE as follows.

          2.1.      Good Title. The Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner, and has good title to his MenQ Stock, with the right and authority to sell and deliver such MenQ Stock. Upon delivery of any certificate or certificates duly assigned, representing the same as herein contemplated and/or upon registering of CIE as the new owner of such MenQ Stock in the share register of MenQ, CIE will receive good title to such MenQ Stock, free and clear of all Liens.

          2.2.      Power and Authority. The Shareholder has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder. All acts required to be taken by the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the Transactions have been properly taken. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof.

          2.3.      No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the performance by the Shareholder of his obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof: (a) will not require the consent of any third party or Governmental Entity under any Laws; (b) will not violate any Laws applicable to the Shareholder; and (c) will not violate or breach any contractual obligation to which the Shareholder is a party.

          2.4.      Litigation. There is no pending proceeding against the Shareholder that involves the Shares or that challenges, or may have the effect of preventing, delaying or making illegal, or otherwise interfering with, any of the Transactions and, to the knowledge of the Shareholder, no such proceeding has been threatened, and no event or circumstance exists that is reasonably likely to give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such proceeding.

          2.5.      No Finder’s Fee. The Shareholder has not created any obligation for any finder’s, investment banker’s or broker’s fee in connection with the Transactions that are not payable entirely by the Shareholder.

          2.6.      Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Shareholder is acquiring the CIE Stock proposed to be acquired hereunder for investment for his own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Shareholder has no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the CIE Stock, except in compliance with applicable securities laws.

          2.7.      Available Information. The Shareholder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in CIE and has had full access to all the information he considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the CIE Stock.

          2.8.      Non-Registration. The Shareholder understands that the CIE Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act and, if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Shareholder’s representations as expressed herein. The non-registration shall have no prejudice with respect to any rights, interests, benefits and entitlements attached to the CIE Stock in accordance with CIE’s charter documents or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

-2-


          2.9.      Restricted Securities. The Shareholder understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if acquired by the Shareholder pursuant hereto, the Shares would be acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering. The issuance of the Shares hereunder is being effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The Shareholder further acknowledges that if the Shares are issued to the Shareholder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such Shares may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom. The Shareholder represents that he is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

          2.10.      Accredited Investor. The Shareholder is an “accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act and the Shareholder was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

          2.11.      Legends. It is understood that the CIE Stock will bear the following legend or one that is substantially similar to the following legend:

 

 

 

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, IN WHICH CASE THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties of MenQ

          Subject to the exceptions set forth in the MenQ Disclosure Letter (regardless of whether or not the MenQ Disclosure Letter is referenced below with respect to any particular representation or warranty), MenQ represents and warrants to CIE and the Shareholder as follows.

          3.1.      Organization, Standing and Power. MenQ and each of its subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has the corporate power and authority and possesses all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals necessary to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to conduct its businesses as presently conducted, other than such franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals the lack of which, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on MenQ and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, a material adverse effect on the ability of MenQ to perform its obligations under this Agreement or on the ability of MenQ to consummate the Transactions (a “MenQ Material Adverse Effect”). MenQ and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of its properties make such qualification necessary except where the failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a MenQ Material Adverse Effect. MenQ has delivered to CIE true and complete copies of the MenQ Constituent Instruments, and the comparable charter, organizational documents and other constituent instruments of each of its subsidiaries, in each case as amended through the date of this Agreement.

          3.2.      Subsidiaries; Equity Interests.

                      (a)      The MenQ Disclosure Letter lists each subsidiary of MenQ and its jurisdiction of organization. All the outstanding shares of capital stock or equity investments of each subsidiary have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and are as of the date of this Agreement owned by MenQ or by another subsidiary of MenQ, free and clear of all Liens.

                      (b)      Except for its interests in its subsidiaries, MenQ does not, as of the date of this Agreement, own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock, membership interest, partnership interest, joint venture interest or other equity interest in any person.

          3.3.      Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of MenQ consists of 50,000 ordinary shares, all of which are issued and outstanding. Except as set forth above, no shares of capital stock or other voting securities of MenQ are issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. MenQ is the sole record and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each of its subsidiaries. All outstanding shares of the capital stock of MenQ and each of its subsidiaries are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to or issued in violation of any purchase option, call option, right of first refusal, preemptive right, subscription right or any similar right under any provision of the applicable corporate laws of the British Virgin Islands, the MenQ Constituent Instruments or any Contract to which MenQ is a party or otherwise bound. There are not any bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of MenQ or any of its subsidiaries having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of MenQ Stock or the capital stock of any of its subsidiaries may vote (“Voting MenQ Debt”). As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any options, warrants, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, “phantom” stock rights, stock appreciation rights, stock-based performance units, commitments, Contracts, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which MenQ or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound (a) obligating MenQ or any of its subsidiaries to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock or other equity interests in, or any security convertible or exercisable for or exchangeable into any capital stock of or other equity interest in, MenQ or any of its subsidiaries or any Voting MenQ Debt, (b) obligating MenQ or any of its subsidiaries to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, security, commitment, Contract, arrangement or undertaking or (c) that give any person the right to receive any economic benefit or right similar to or derived from the economic benefits and rights occurring to holders of the capital stock of MenQ or of any of its subsidiaries. As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any outstanding contractual obligations of MenQ to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of MenQ.

-4-


          3.4.      Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. MenQ has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions. The execution and delivery by MenQ of this Agreement and the consummation by MenQ of the Transactions have been duly authorized and approved by the Board of Directors of MenQ and no other corporate proceedings on the part of MenQ are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the Transactions. When executed and delivered, this Agreement will be enforceable against MenQ in accordance with its terms.

          3.5.      No Conflicts; Consents.

                      (a)      The execution and delivery by MenQ of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the Transactions and compliance with the terms hereof will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of MenQ or any of its subsidiaries under, any provision of (i) the MenQ Constituent Instruments or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any Contract to which MenQ or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their respective properties or assets is subject or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 3.5(b), any material judgment, order or decree or material Law applicable to MenQ or any of its subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such items that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a MenQ Material Adverse Effect.

                      (b)      Except for required filings with the SEC and applicable “Blue Sky” or state securities commissions, no Consent of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or permit from, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to MenQ or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.

-5-


          3.6.     Taxes.

                     (a)     MenQ and each of its subsidiaries has timely filed, or has caused to be timely filed on its behalf, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and all such Tax Returns are true, complete and accurate, except to the extent any failure to file or any inaccuracies in any filed Tax Returns, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a MenQ Material Adverse Effect. All Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns, or otherwise owed, have been timely paid, except to the extent that any failure to pay, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a MenQ Material Adverse Effect. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of MenQ know of no basis for any such claim.

                     (b)     The MenQ Financial Statements reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes payable by MenQ and its subsidiaries (in addition to any reserve for deferred Taxes to reflect timing differences between book and Tax items) for all Taxable periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements. No deficiency with respect to any Taxes has been proposed, asserted or assessed against MenQ or any of its subsidiaries, and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes are pending, except to the extent any such deficiency or request for waiver, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a MenQ Material Adverse Effect.

          3.7.     Benefit Plans.

                     (a)     Except as set forth in the MenQ Disclosure Letter, neither MenQ nor any of its subsidiaries maintains any collective bargaining agreement or any bonus, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option, phantom stock, retirement, vacation, severance, disability, death benefit, hospitalization, medical or other plan, arrangement or understanding (whether or not legally binding) providing benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director of MenQ or any of its subsidiaries. Except as set forth in the MenQ Disclosure Letter, as of the date of this Agreement there are not any severance or termination agreements or arrangements between MenQ or any of its subsidiaries and any current or former employee, officer or director of MenQ or any of its subsidiaries, nor does MenQ or any of its subsidiaries have any general severance plan or policy.

                     (b)     Since December 31, 2008, there has not been any adoption or amendment in any material respect by MenQ or any of its subsidiaries of any plan described in Section 3.7(a).

          3.8.     Litigation. Except as set forth in the MenQ Disclosure Letter, there is no Action against or affecting MenQ or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties which (a) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of this Agreement or the Shares or (b) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a MenQ Material Adverse Effect. Neither MenQ nor any of its subsidiaries, nor any director or officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim or violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty.

-6-


          3.9.       Compliance with Applicable Laws. Except as set forth in the MenQ Disclosure Letter, MenQ and each of its subsidiaries have conducted their business and operations in compliance with all applicable Laws, including those relating to occupational health and safety and the environment, except for instances of noncompliance that, individually and in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a MenQ Material Adverse Effect. MenQ has not received any written communication during the past two years from a Governmental Entity that alleges that MenQ is not in compliance in any material respect with any applicable Law. This Section 3.9 does not relate to matters with respect to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 3.6.

          3.10.     Brokers. Except as set forth in the MenQ Disclosure Letter, no broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of MenQ or any of its subsidiaries.

          3.11.     Contracts. Except as set forth in the MenQ Disclosure Letter, there are no Contracts that are material to the business, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of MenQ and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither MenQ nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of or in default under (nor does there exist any condition which upon the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a violation of or default under) any Contract to which it is a party or to which it or any of its properties or assets is subject, except for violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a MenQ Material Adverse Effect.

          3.12.     Title to Properties. Except as set forth in the MenQ Disclosure Letter, neither MenQ nor any of its subsidiaries own any real property. MenQ and each of its subsidiaries has sufficient title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets used in the conduct of its businesses. All such assets and properties, other than assets and properties in which MenQ or any of its subsidiaries has leasehold interests, are free and clear of all Liens other than those set forth in the MenQ Disclosure Letter and except for Liens that, in the aggregate, do not and will not materially interfere with the ability of MenQ and its subsidiaries to conduct business as currently conducted.

          3.13.     Intellectual Property. MenQ and each of its subsidiaries own, or are validly licensed or otherwise have the right to use, all Intellectual Property Rights which are material to the conduct of the business of MenQ and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. The MenQ Disclosure Letter sets forth a description of all Intellectual Property Rights which are material to the conduct of the business of MenQ and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. There are no claims pending or, to the knowledge of MenQ, threatened that MenQ or any of its subsidiaries is infringing or otherwise adversely affecting the rights of any person with regard to any Intellectual Property Right. To the knowledge of MenQ, no person is infringing the rights of MenQ or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any Intellectual Property Right.

          3.14.     Labor Matters. There are no collective bargaining or other labor union agreements to which MenQ or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound. No material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of MenQ, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of MenQ.

-7-


          3.15.     Financial Statements; Liabilities. MenQ has delivered to CIE its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 (collectively, the “MenQ Financial Statements”). The MenQ Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated. The MenQ Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating results of MenQ, as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein. MenQ does not have any material liabilities or obligations, contingent or otherwise, other than (a) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to September 30, 2009, and (b) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the MenQ Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually and in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to result in a MenQ Material Adverse Effect.

          3.16.     Transactions with Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the MenQ Disclosure Letter and the MenQ Financial Statements, none of the officers or directors of MenQ and, to the knowledge of MenQ, none of the employees of MenQ is presently a party to any transaction with MenQ or any of its subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any Contract or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of MenQ, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

          3.17.     Internal Accounting Controls. MenQ and its consolidated subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (d) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. MenQ has established disclosure controls and procedures for its company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to MenQ and its subsidiaries are made known to the officers by others within those entities. The officers of MenQ have evaluated the effectiveness of MenQ’s controls and procedures. Since September 30, 2009, there have been no significant changes in MenQ’s internal controls or, to MenQ’s best knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect MenQ’s internal controls.

          3.18.     Solvency. Based on the financial condition of MenQ as of the Closing Date (and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred): (a) MenQ’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of MenQ’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (b) MenQ’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by MenQ, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (c) the current cash flow of MenQ, together with the proceeds MenQ would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. MenQ does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

-8-

ARTICLE IV
Representations and Warranties of CIE

          CIE represents and warrants as follows to MenQ and the Shareholder.

          4.1.     Organization, Standing and Power. CIE is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has full corporate power and authority and possesses all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals necessary to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to conduct its businesses as presently conducted, other than such franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals the lack of which, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on CIE, a material adverse effect on the ability of CIE to perform its obligations under this Agreement or on the ability of CIE to consummate the Transactions (a “CIE Material Adverse Effect”). CIE is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary and where the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a CIE Material Adverse Effect. CIE has delivered to MenQ or its counsel true and complete copies of the CIE Charter and the CIE Bylaws.

          4.2.     Subsidiaries; Equity Interests. CIE does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock, membership interest, partnership interest, joint venture interest or other equity interest in any person.

          4.3.     Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of CIE consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value. As of the date hereof, 4,600,000 shares of CIE’s common stock and no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding and no shares of CIE’s common stock are held by CIE in its treasury. Except as set forth above, no shares of capital stock or other voting securities of CIE were issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. All outstanding shares of the capital stock of CIE are, and all such shares that may be issued prior to the date hereof will be when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to or issued in violation of any purchase option, call option, right of first refusal, preemptive right, subscription right or any similar right under any provision of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the CIE Charter, the CIE Bylaws or any Contract to which CIE is a party or otherwise bound. There are not any bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of CIE having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of CIE’s common stock may vote (“Voting CIE Debt”). As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any options, warrants, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, “phantom” stock rights, stock appreciation rights, stock-based performance units, commitments, Contracts, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which CIE is a party or by which it is bound (a) obligating CIE to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock or other equity interests in, or any security convertible or exercisable for or exchangeable into any capital stock of or other equity interest in, CIE or any Voting CIE Debt, (b) obligating CIE to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, security, commitment, Contract, arrangement or undertaking or (c) that give any person the right to receive any economic benefit or right similar to or derived from the economic benefits and rights occurring to holders of the capital stock of CIE. As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any outstanding contractual obligations of CIE to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of CIE. The stockholder list provided to MenQ or its counsel is a current stockholder list generated by its stock transfer agent, and such list accurately reflects all of the issued and outstanding shares of the CIE’s common stock.

-11-


          4.4.     Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. The execution and delivery by CIE of this Agreement and the consummation by CIE of the Transactions have been duly authorized and approved by the Board of Directors of CIE and no other corporate proceedings on the part of CIE are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the Transactions. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of CIE, enforceable against CIE in accordance with the terms hereof.

          4.5.     No Conflicts; Consents.

                     (a)     The execution and delivery by CIE of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of Transactions and compliance with the terms hereof will not, contravene, conflict with or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or to increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or entitlements of any person under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of CIE under, any provision of (i) the CIE Charter or CIE Bylaws, (ii) any material Contract to which CIE is a party or to which any of its properties or assets is subject or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 4.5(b), any material Order or material Law applicable to CIE or its properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such items that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a CIE Material Adverse Effect.

                     (b)     Except for required filings with the SEC and applicable “Blue Sky” or state securities commissions, no Consent of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or permit from, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to CIE in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.

          4.6.     Taxes.

                     (a)     CIE has timely filed, or has caused to be timely filed on its behalf, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and all such Tax Returns are true, complete and accurate, except to the extent any failure to file, any delinquency in filing or any inaccuracies in any filed Tax Returns, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a CIE Material Adverse Effect. All Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns, or otherwise owed, have been timely paid, except to the extent that any failure to pay, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a CIE Material Adverse Effect.

-12-


                     (b)     The most recent financial statements contained in the SEC Reports reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes payable by CIE (in addition to any reserve for deferred Taxes to reflect timing differences between book and Tax items) for all Taxable periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements. No deficiency with respect to any Taxes has been proposed, asserted or assessed against CIE, and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes are pending, except to the extent any such deficiency or request for waiver, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a CIE Material Adverse Effect.

                     (c)     There are no Liens for Taxes (other than for current Taxes not yet due and payable) on the assets of CIE. CIE is not bound by any agreement with respect to Taxes.

          4.7.     Benefit Plans. CIE does not, and since its inception never has, maintained or contributed to any bonus, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option, phantom stock, retirement, vacation, severance, disability, death benefit, hospitalization, medical or other plan, arrangement or understanding (whether or not legally binding) providing benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director of CIE. As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any employment, consulting, indemnification, severance or termination agreements or arrangements between CIE and any current or former employee, officer or director of CIE, nor does CIE have any general severance plan or policy.

          4.8.     ERISA Compliance; Excess Parachute Payments. CIE does not, and since its inception never has, maintained or contributed to any “employee pension benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), “employee welfare benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) or any other benefit plan for the benefit of any current or former employees, consultants, officers or directors of CIE.

          4.9.     Litigation. There is no Action against or affecting CIE or any of its properties which (a) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of either of this Agreement or the Shares or (b) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a CIE Material Adverse Effect. Neither CIE nor any director or officer (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim or violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty.

          4.10.   Compliance with Applicable Laws. CIE is in compliance with all applicable Laws, including those relating to occupational health and safety, the environment, export controls, trade sanctions and embargoes, except for instances of noncompliance that, individually and in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a CIE Material Adverse Effect. CIE has not received any written communication during the past two years from a Governmental Entity that alleges that CIE is not in compliance in any material respect with any applicable Law. CIE is in compliance with all effective requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, that are applicable to it, except where such noncompliance could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a CIE Material Adverse Effect. This Section 4.10 does not relate to matters with respect to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 4.6.

-13-


          4.11.     Contracts. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there are no Contracts that are material to the business, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of CIE taken as a whole. CIE is not in violation of or in default under (nor does there exist any condition which upon the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a violation of or default under) any Contract to which it is a party or to which it or any of its properties or assets is subject, except for violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a CIE Material Adverse Effect.

          4.12.     Title to Properties. CIE has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets used in the conduct of its businesses. All such assets and properties, other than assets and properties in which CIE has leasehold interests, are free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens that, in the aggregate, do not and will not materially interfere with the ability of CIE to conduct business as currently conducted. CIE has complied in all material respects with the terms of all material leases to which it is a party and under which it is in occupancy, and all such leases are in full force and effect. CIE enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such material leases.

          4.13.     Intellectual Property. CIE does not own, nor is validly licensed nor otherwise has the right to use, any Intellectual Property Rights. No claims are pending or, to the knowledge of CIE, threatened that CIE is infringing or otherwise adversely affecting the rights of any person with regard to any Intellectual Property Right.

          4.14.     Labor Matters. There are no collective bargaining or other labor union agreements to which CIE is a party or by which it is bound. No material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of CIE, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of CIE.

          4.15.     SEC Documents; Undisclosed Liabilities.

                       (a)     CIE has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC since May 19, 2006, pursuant to Sections 13(a), 14(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act (the “SEC Reports”).

                       (b)     As of its respective filing date, each SEC Report complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Report. Except to the extent that information contained in any SEC Report has been revised or superseded by a later SEC Report, none of the SEC Reports contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The consolidated financial statements of CIE included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (except, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated financial position of CIE and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods shown (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

-14-


                                 (c)     Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, CIE has no liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to be set forth on a balance sheet of CIE or in the notes thereto. There are no financial or contractual obligations and liabilities (including any obligations to issue capital stock or other securities) due after the date hereof. All liabilities of CIE shall have been paid off and shall in no event remain liabilities of CIE, MenQ or the Shareholder following the Closing.

                    4.16.     Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of CIE and, to the knowledge of CIE, none of the employees of CIE is presently a party to any transaction with CIE (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any Contract or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of CIE, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

                    4.17.     Internal Accounting Controls. CIE maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (d) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. CIE has established disclosure controls and procedures for CIE and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to CIE is made known to the officers by others within CIE. CIE’s officers have evaluated the effectiveness of CIE’s controls and procedures. Since September 30, 2009, there have been no significant changes in CIE’s internal controls or, to CIE’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect CIE’s internal controls.

                    4.18.     Solvency. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, based on the financial condition of CIE as of the Closing Date (and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (a) CIE’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of CIE’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (b) CIE’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, including its capital needs, taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by CIE, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (c) the current cash flow of CIE, together with the proceeds CIE would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. CIE does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

-15-


          4.19.     Application of Takeover Protections. CIE has taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the CIE Charter or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Shareholder as a result of the Shareholder and CIE fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares and the Shareholder’s ownership of the Shares.

                       (c)     any waiver or compromise by CIE of a valuable right or of a material debt owed to it;

                       (d)     any satisfaction or discharge of any lien, claim, or encumbrance or payment of any obligation by CIE, except in the ordinary course of business and the satisfaction or discharge of which would not have a CIE Material Adverse Effect;

CIE is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued listing of the CIE Stock on the trading market on which the CIE Stock is currently listed or quoted.
