6.1      In consideration of the License and technical assistance granted under
         this Agreement, Licensee shall pay to Licensor as follows:

         (a) INITIAL PAYMENT

         Licensee shall pay to Licensor a sum of Ninety Thousand United States
         Dollars (USD 90,000) ("Initial Payment") within seven (7) days after

         be made in United States Dollar (USD) and by wire transfer to the
         account designated by Licensor or in such other method as may be
         mutually agreed between the Parties.

6.3      For all payments to be made in United States Dollar under this
         Agreement, the applicable foreign exchange rate shall be the basic
         exchange rate published by the Malaysia bank on the due date for the
         relevant payment. Provided, however, that, in the event of any delay in
         payment, the most favourable exchange rate to Licensor among the rates
         during the period from the due date for the relevant payment to the
         date of actual payment shall apply.

6.4      In the event any payment is delayed by Licensee under this Agreement, a
         default interest at a rate of [18] % per annum shall apply. For the
         avoidance of doubt, Licensor's entitlement to such default interest

         Agreement under any circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee

         Royalties for reasons of errors and/or bugs in or associated with the
         Game and/or the billing system. Such withholding, delay, reduction or
         offset by Licensee shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement
         for the purposes of Article 14.

6.6      Any and all taxes including the sales tax, value added tax, income tax
         on any payment to Licensor under this Agreement shall be borne by

         Licensor, Licensee is allowed to withhold as such tax up to ten percent
         (10%) of the respective payment amount. In the event that any amount is
         withheld for the tax payment under this Section 6.5, Licensee shall
         promptly inform Licensor of such payment and provide Licensor with a
         certification issued by the relevant tax authorities with respect to
         the relevant payment. Any withholding tax in excess of ten percent
         (10%) of the respective payment amount shall be borne by Licensee, and
         Licensee shall not deduct such withheld amount from the actual payment
         amount.

         commercial service of the Game.

         co-operation required by Licensor for such investigation and audit. All
         expenses incurred for such investigation and audit shall be borne by
         Licensor unless such investigation and audit reveals underpayment by
         greater than 5% of the Royalty amount, in which case Licensee shall
         bear all expenses for such investigation and audit and shall also
         promptly pay to Licensor the unpaid amount together with [18] % default
