THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT EXTEND TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS/MATTERS WHERE ATTORNEYS REPRESENT CLIENT INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ATTORNEYS' FEES.

1.SCOPE OF REPRESENTATION: Attorneys agree to investigate, evaluate, settle, and litigate any possible claim or claims (including counterclaims) involving LIANPUA TRADE, INC., and all others acting in concert for wrongful or unlawful conduct regarding monies stolen by Chinese scammers ("Client's Claims" This representation also includes the defense of any potential claims related to the Client's Claims. Client understands and agrees that the scope of representation herein does not include the filing of any claim against any state or federal entity or employee or filing or pursuing any appeal from a final disposition in the trial court. Client understands and agrees that Attorneys will not file suit against entities that are in a foreign jurisdiction or are international companies, whom in Attorneys' opinion cannot be sued in a United States or state court. Client understands and agrees that Attorneys are not obligated to pursue entities that are defunct and/or bankrupt. Client hereby agrees and understands that Attorneys retain the right to withdraw from representation of Client at any time, SO long as said withdrawal would not unduly prejudice Client's right to bring suit or to seek or retain another attorney to represent Client. In such event, Client agrees to timely sign an appropriate Motion for Substitution of Counsel. If after disposition in the trial court Client desires to appeal, a new and separate agreement shall be entered into by the parties as to services and fees for any appeal, or Client shall retain separate counsel to handle any appeal and Attorneys shall retain their interest in the case under this Agreement applicable to any recovery obtained by settlement or otherwise. SHOULD CLIENT

AUTHORITY OF ATTORNEYS: Client empowers Attorneys to take all steps in this matter deemed by Attorneys to be advisable for the investigation and handling of Client's Claims, including hiring investigators, expert witnesses, and/or other attorneys and filing any legal action necessary. Client authorizes and empowers Attorneys to do any and all things necessary and proper in the enforcement, compromise, settlement, adjustment and collection of Client's Claims, and Client further authorizes and empowers Attorneys to sign any and all pleadings and all releases, checks, drafts, authorizations and other papers necessary and proper in connection with the prosecution or enforcement of Client's Claims and collection or settlement of the damages awarded or to be paid therefore, and to receive such funds or other property in Client's name and for Client on account of any judgment

recovered or any settlement agreed upon in connection with Client's Claim. Full power and authority is given by Client to Attorneys to adjust, settle or compromise Client's Claims, but no final settlement shall be made and consummated by Attorneys without first submitting the offer, compromise, or adjustment to Client for approval, and Client agrees not to compromise or settle Client's Claim without the Attorneys' authority, agreement, and consent. Should Client make a settlement in violation of this Agreement, Client agrees to pay Attorneys the full fee agreed upon contained in the paragraph below.

ATTORNEYS' FEES: This Agreement is a contingency fee contract. Specifically, if Attorneys are successful in recovering money or anything of value for Client, by settlement prior to 90 days before trial, Attorneys shall receive attorneys' fees in the amount of THIRTY PERCENT (30%) of the Gross Recovery. Attorneys shall (1) retain FORTY PERCENT (40%) of the proceeds as their attorneys' fees if the matter is settled or resolved before trial begins and FORTY PERCENT (40%) percent of the proceeds as their attorneys' fees if the matter is settled or resolved after trial begins. Gross Recovery means the gross amount of money or other value or property recovered for Client, before the deduction of expenses. Gross Recovery means the total of any amount received, including ongoing cash flow from awarded or collected or otherwise received by the Client or assigns or agents (whether by ongoing business operations, settlement, mediation, arbitration award, court judgment, or otherwise) before such amount has been reduced by the sum of litigation "Costs" or "Expenses" which are paid by the Client. The Client hereby grants the Firm a lien on this Lawsuit and a lien on any proceeds, ongoing business concerns, recoveries and any judgments recovered in connection with the Lawsuit as security for the payment of the Firm's fees as contracted for herein. By signing this Agreement, the Client acknowledges that the Attorneys desire to be paid in cash. In any case, if payment of all, or any part of the Gross Recovery will be deferred (such as in the case of an annuity, a structured settlement, or periodic payments), the "total amount received," for purposes of calculating the attorneys' Fees, will be the initial payment plus the present value, as of the time of the ongoing cash flow, settlement, final arbitration award, or final judgment, of the payments to be received thereafter. The attorneys' fees shall be paid out of the initial payment. If the initial payment is insufficient to fund the attorneys' fees in full, the balance will be paid from subsequent payments of the recovery before any distribution to Client. By the Client's signature below, the Client acknowledges that the Client has been informed of and understands that the attorneys' fees contemplated by this Agreement are not set by law but rather by the agreement of the Client and the Firm as reflected in this negotiated Agreement. Furthermore, by signing this Agreement, you agree that: (1) this transaction, agreement, and terms on which the Firm has acquired the interest as contemplated herein are fair and reasonable to the Client and are fully disclosed in a manner which can be reasonably understood by the Client; (2) the Client has been given a reasonable opportunity to seek the advice of independent counsel in the transaction and in fact have been advised by the Firm to seek the advice of independent counsel; and (3) the Client consents in writing thereto. You are hereby advised, in writing, of the desirability of seeking the advice of independent legal counsel. In fact, as a prerequisite to signing this Agreement, you agree that the Firm has mandated that you have your own independent counsel review and sign the Agreement. In addition, you acknowledge that you have been given a reasonable opportunity to obtain such advice. The Firm requires we receive the Client's informed consent, in a writing signed by the Client, both to the essential terms of the transaction and to the Firm's role. Trial is considered to have commenced at 5:00 p.m. on the Friday closest to ten (10) days before jury selection begins or evidence is first presented to the trier of fact, whichever is the earlier of these two events. If Attorneys do not recover any money or other value or property for Client, Client will not owe any attorneys' fees or expenses. Client agrees that Attorneys may, in their discretion, employ associate counsel to assist in prosecuting Client's cause of action, and Client does not object to the participation of any lawyers Attorneys may choose to involve in this representation of Client. With the exceptions set forth below, payment of attorneys' fees to associate counsel is the responsibility of Attorneys. In the event that the case is settled by way of a structured settlement, Client approves and authorizes attorneys' fees to be based upon the present value

benefit of the settlement and further authorizes Attorneys to take attorneys' fees either in cash or in structured payment, as Attorneys deem appropriate. In some instances, it may be necessary for Attorneys to retain special outside counsel to assist on matters other than prosecuting Client's claims for damages. Examples of such instances include the following: a defendant may seek bankruptcy protection; or a defendant may attempt to fraudulently transfer some of its assets to avoid paying the Client's claim; a defendant may transfer assets out of the country thereby necessitating the retention of foreign counsel, or a complex, multi-party settlement may require an ethics opinion from outside counsel; or special action in probate court may be necessary apart from the usual probate proceedings involved in an estate; or a separate lawsuit may need to be filed against a defendant's insurance company. Client agrees that Attorneys may retain such special outside counsel to represent Client when Attorneys deem such assistance to be reasonably necessary, and that the fees of such counsel will be deducted from Client's share of the recovery. COSTS AND OTHER EXPENSES: Client is responsible to pay for all costs and expenses as incurred. Such costs include filing fees, expert witness fees, court reporter and video fees, copy charges, postage, mailing, travel, witness fees, electronic document conversion fees, delivery fees, internal operating costs and other related charges incurred or paid as an expense on behalf of Client and paid to third-party vendors or incurred internally by Attorneys and charged to Client in connection with Attorneys' representation of Client. 5.DISBURSEMENT OF PROCEEDS TO CLIENT: Client understands that Attorneys make no guarantee or assurance of any kind regarding the likelihood of success of Client's claims. Upon receipt by Attorneys of the proceeds of any settlement or judgment, Attorneys shall (1) retain either THIRTY PERCENT (30%) or FORTY PERCENT (40%) of the Gross Recovery as their attorneys' fees, (2) deduct from Client's share of the proceeds any costs and expenses, including the fees of any special outside counsel that Attorneys may incur on Client's behalf, and (3) disburse the remainder of Client's share of the proceeds to Client. At the time of disbursement of any proceeds, Client will be provided with a disbursement sheet reflecting the attorneys' fees, the expenses deducted out of Client's share, and the remainder of Client's share. 6.POWER OF ATTORNEY: Client gives Attorneys a power of attorney to execute and negotiate all reasonable and necessary documents connected with the handling of this cause of action, including pleadings, contracts, checks or drafts, settlement agreements, compromises and releases, verifications, dismissals and orders, proofs of claim, ballots, verified statements including those pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2019, and all other documents that Client could properly execute. Client's claims will not be settled without obtaining Client's consent. COOPERATION; ADDRESS CHANGE; RETURN OF DOCUMENTS: Client agrees to cooperate with Attorneys to permit Client's claims to be investigated and developed; to disclose to Attorneys all facts relevant to the claim; and to be reasonably available to attend any necessary meetings, depositions, preparation sessions, hearings, and trial. Client shall appear on reasonable notice at any and all depositions and Court appearances and shall comply with all reasonable requests of Attorneys in connection with preparation and presentation of Client's claims. The Client acknowledges and agrees that all communications with Attorneys are privileged. The Client acknowledges that Attorneys may represent other individuals on the same or similar matters and therefore may communicate matters of common interest to all of Attorneys' clients. Therefore, Client agrees and understands that other individuals who are clients of Attorneys may also invoke the attorney client privilege as to Attorneys' communications with Client. The Client acknowledges and agrees not to provide attorney work product or attorney client communications to any other person. Client shall promptly notify Attorneys of any change of marital status or death of spouse. Client shall promptly notify Attorneys of any bankruptcy proceedings involving Client or Client's spouse. Client shall promptly notify Attorneys of any other legal proceedings to which Client or Client's spouse is a party.

Client agrees to notify Attorneys in writing of each change in Client's mailing address (work or home) or telephone number (work, home, and cell) during the term of this representation within seven (7) days of each such change of address or telephone number. When the case is completed, and subject to any Court orders, Attorneys will provide Client the opportunity to retrieve any documents and/or materials that Client provided to Attorneys or that Attorneys have obtained from other sources in connection with the case. However, if Client has not retrieved those documents and/or materials within ninety (90) days after Attorneys have mailed to Client written notice that the case is completed and that those documents and/or material are available to Client, Attorneys may dispose of those documents and/or materials.

NO TAX ADVICE: Attorneys have advised Client that the pursuit of resolution of this claim may have various tax consequences. Client understands that Attorneys do not render tax advice and are not being retained to offer such advice to Client or to represent Client before the IRS.

In the event of the death of Client, any duly appointed Representative of Client's heirs and/or estate will be bound by this Agreement to the extent allowed by applicable law, including without limitation, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the recovery of attorneys' fees and costs and other expenses. Any such Representative shall, upon request by Attorneys, execute a new Agreement in the capacity as Representative for the heirs and/or estate of the Client. 10. OFFER OF SETTLEMENT: Client understands that applicable law may, under certain circumstances, allow a Defendant to make an offer of settlement to Client and if Client rejects or does not accept such an offer, such may result in any award, verdict or judgment in Client's favor being reduced as provided by such law. Client understands that Client has the final authority to accept or reject any offer of settlement. Client understands that if Client rejects or does not accept such an offer, and Client's recovery is subsequently reduced, the fees owed to Attorneys will be calculated on the amount of any award, verdict or judgment before reduction, and the reduction shall be out of Client's share of any recovery. SECURITY INTEREST: Client hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys over to Attorneys an amount equal to either THIRTY PERCENT (30%) of the proceeds if the matter is settled or resolved within 90 days before trial begins or FORTY PERCENT (40%) of the proceeds if the matter is resolved after trial begins, of any property, money or other value recovered by settlement, compromise, verdict or judgment of the claims described in this contract. Client does hereby give and grant to Attorneys an express security interest, in addition to any statutory lien, upon Client's claims and any and all judgments recovered, and any and all funds or property realized or paid by compromise or settlement, as security for the compensation and costs and expenses advanced or due to be paid or reimbursed to Attorneys hereunder. This security interest is to continue in the event Attorneys are discharged without good cause.
