Exhibit A

Currency Exchange Rate Formula

Each month’s Rental fee shall be calculated and converted into an amount of Rental fee in RMB (“Rental fee in RMB”) for Party A to pay to Party B.

Beginning from March 2007 until the termination month of the Lease Agreement, both Parties may each be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of any increase or decrease in Rental fee in RMB as a result of the fluctuation in the monthly currency exchange rate between US Dollars and RMB over a certain percentage as defined by the currency exchange rate formula below based on the Median Rate of Exchange published by the Bank of China (“US/RMB Exchange Rate”) on the first day of each month.

The currency exchange rate formula is as follows:

 
a)
Adjusted US/RMB Exchange Rate” is defined as the currency exchange rate calculated based on Section (c)(i) below that will be used to calculate Party A’s monthly Rental fee in RMB to Party B.

 
b)
The “initial US/RMB Exchange Rate” is defined as the US/RMB Exchange Rate of 1 U.S. Dollar to 8.277 RMB.

 
c)
The Adjusted US/RMB Exchange Rate is calculated first by comparing the US/RMB Exchange Rate on the first day of each month with the Adjusted US/RMB Exchange Rate on the first day of the previous month (or the initial US/RMB Exchange Rate for calculating the US/RMB Exchange Rate for the month of March 2007):

 
i)
If the US/RMB Exchange Rate on the first day of a given month (“x”) is at least five percent (5%) less or more than the Adjusted US/RMB Exchange Rate on the first day of the previous month (or the initial US/RMB Exchange Rate for calculating the US/RMB Exchange Rate for the month of March 2007) (“y”), then both exchange rate numbers, x and y, shall be combined together and divided by 2 to produce a new Adjusted US/RMB Exchange Rate as the Adjusted US/RMB Exchange Rate that both Parties should use that month to calculate the correct Rental fee in RMB.

 
ii)
If the US/RMB Exchange Rate on the first day of a given month (“x”) is not at least five percent (5%) less or more than the Adjusted US/RMB Exchange Rate on the first day of the previous month (or the initial US/RMB Exchange Rate for calculating the US/RMB Exchange Rate for the month of March 2007) (“y”), then the previous month’s Adjusted US/RMB Exchange Rate (or the initial US/RMB Exchange Rate for calculating the Rental fee for March 2007), y, should continue be used to calculate the correct Rental fee in RMB that Party A should pay to Party B to satisfy that particular month’s Rental fee.
