   48.75 %   100 %   $ 2,364,466

Any Post-Closing Consideration payable to the Selling Shareholders pursuant to Schedule 4.2 shall be made in accordance with the respective percentages set forth under the heading "Percentage of Selling Shareholders' Holdings" in the table above (such allocation, the "Post-Closing Allocation").


Schedule 4-2

Post-Closing Consideration

I. Introduction. The Post Closing Consideration shall consist of (a) contingent, post-closing consideration payable with respect to the Company's EDBITA performance for 2007 (the "2007 Post-Closing Consideration") and (b) contingent, post-closing consideration payable with respect to the Company's EDBITA performance for 2008 (the "2007 Post-Closing Consideration"); all as set forth in this Schedule 4-2.

II. Calculation of Post Closing Consideration.

A. Formula for Determination. The 2007 Post-Closing Consideration and the 2008 Post-Closing Consideration, respectively, shall be the result of the following formula

A times (B divided by C)

where:

A = $1,182,233 for purposes of calculating the 2007 Post-Closing Consideration and is $2,364,466 for purposes of calculating the 2008 Post-Closing Consideration;

B = EBITDA of the Company for fiscal year 2007 for purposes of calculating the 2007 Post-Closing Consideration, and is EBITDA of the Company for fiscal year 2008 for purposes of calculating 2008 Post-Closing Consideration;

C = $607,225 for purposes of calculating the 2007 Post-Closing Consideration and is $4,201,168 for purposes of calculating the 2008 Post-Closing Consideration;

provided, however, that in no event shall the 2007 Post-Closing Consideration exceed $1,182,233 and in no event shall the 2008 Post-Closing Consideration exceed $2,364,466. By way of illustration only, if the Company's EBITDA for 2007 were $500,000, then the 2007 Post-Closing Consideration would be $973,472 (i.e., $1,182,233 times .8234)

B. Standard of Calculation. For purposes of the foregoing, EBITDA shall be determined in accordance with US GAAP, and shall include EBITDA of any wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (including those subsidiaries acquired by acquisition).


III. Allocation and Timing of Post-Closing Consideration.

The 2007 Post-Closing Consideration, if due and owing, shall be paid in the form of shares of LTBVI's common shares ("LTBVI Shares") at an agreed-upon value of $9.65 per share (the "Stated Value"); such issuance shall be allocated amongst the Selling Shareholders in accordance with the Post-Closing Allocation. The 2008 Post-Closing Consideration, if due and owing, shall be allocated amongst the Selling Shareholders in accordance with the Post-Closing Allocation and shall be paid as follows: (a) the portion of the 2008 Post-Closing Consideration payable to World Longevity pursuant to the Post-Closing Allocation shall be paid as follows: 71.168% of any such portion shall be paid in the form of LTBVI Shares at the Stated Value in cash, and the remaining 28.832% of any such payment shall be paid in cash; and (b) the portions of the 2008 Post-Closing Consideration payable to Neil Fitzgerald pursuant to the Post-Closing Allocation shall be paid as follows: 50% of any such portion shall be paid in cash, and 50% of any such payment shall be paid in the form of LTBVI Shares at the Stated Value.

IV. General Provisions Applicable to Post-Closing Consideration

A. Certification and Determination of Post-Closing Consideration.

1. Preparation of EBITDA Statement. With respect to each of 2007 and 2008, LTBVI shall prepare and deliver to the Selling Shareholders within 60 calendar days following LTBVI's receipt from its outside accountants of financial statements for the Company for 2007 and 2008, respectively (but by no later than February 28, 2008 with respect to 2007 and no later than February 28, 2009 with respect to 2008) a statement (the "EBITDA Statement"), calculated pursuant to Paragraph II, above, and which sets forth: (i) the EBITDA for such year; and (ii) a computation of the Post-Closing Consideration, if any, with respect to such year.

2. Disagreement With EBITDA Statement. If the Selling Shareholders dispute in good faith the computations within either EBITDA Statement they may give written notice to LTBVI of the dispute (a "Dispute Notice") as quickly as reasonably practicable but in any event within 60 calendar days after its receipt of such EBITDA Statement. If the Selling Shareholders do not so give a Dispute Notice within such time period, the calculation of the Post-Closing Consideration within the EBITDA Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed by the Selling Shareholders, subject as set forth below.

3. Dispute Resolution. If the Selling Shareholders submit a Dispute Notice to LTBVI as aforesaid, LTBVI and the Selling Shareholders shall work together in good faith to seek to resolve any matters set forth in such Dispute Notice. If LTBVI and the Selling Shareholders are unable to resolve any disagreement between them within 30 calendar days after the Selling Shareholders' receipt of a Dispute Notice from LTBVI, the items in dispute (and only the items in dispute) shall be referred for determination to the Arbitrator (as defined below) as promptly as practicable. Each of LTBVI and the Selling Shareholders will use reasonable efforts to cause the Arbitrator to render their decision as soon as practicable. Neither party will disclose to the Arbitrator, and the Arbitrator will not consider for any purpose, any settlement negotiations, offers, and/or counteroffers, whether written, verbal, or in any other form, made by either party. As part of the resolution of all outstanding disputes, the parties will cause the Arbitrator to prepare a statement


of EBITDA and the Post-Closing Consideration for the applicable year, determined in accordance with Paragraph II, above (the "Arbitration EBITDA Statement"). As used above, the term "Arbitrator" shall mean either one arbitrator or an arbitration panel chosen by mutual agreement of the Selling Shareholders and LTBVI, provided, however that if both parties do not agree on the Arbitrator, then the Selling Shareholders shall chose an arbitrator and LTBVI shall choose an arbitrator, and those two arbitrators shall jointly appoint a third arbitrator, and such third arbitrator shall be the Arbitrator hereunder. Each of the Selling Shareholders and LTBVI agree to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to the foregoing proviso clause, if the Selling Shareholders and LTBVI do not otherwise agree upon the Arbitrator as aforesaid. The Arbitrator shall resolve each item in dispute as described above in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and any and all hearings and meetings of the Arbitrator shall be held in New York City. The parties agree that the Arbitrator shall have substantial experience in financial accounting for software companies, but, subject to the foregoing, need not be members of a firm of independent public accountants.

4. Cooperation. LTBVI and the Selling Shareholders shall cooperate with each other and with each other's authorized representatives in connection with the preparation and review of the EBITDA Statement, the Arbitration EBITDA Statement or any Dispute Notice.

5. Expenses. With respect to the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator in connection with their preparation of any Arbitration EBITDA Statement and their determination of Aggregate EBITDA and the Purchase Price Adjustment, the Selling Shareholders and LTBVI will each pay  1/2 of any such fees and expenses.

6. Selling Shareholder Party Agent. Each Selling Shareholder Party hereby appoints Yufeng Liang (the "Agent") as his or its (as applicable) agent, representative and attorney-in-fact to act on his or its (as applicable) behalf for all matters arising under the Agreement, including this Schedule 4-2, and the Agent covenants that he shall act in such capacity, including without limitation with respect to the sending of any Dispute Notice as set forth above. Accordingly, LTBVI shall be entitled to rely on actions, notices, communications or agreements from or with the Agent as being from or with the Agent for and on behalf of all Selling Shareholder Parties.

B. Offset; No Waiver. Any Post-Closing Consideration shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the final agreement or determination of the same in accordance with the foregoing provisions. In addition to the foregoing, but without limiting in any way any other rights or remedies of LTBVI, LTBVI shall have the absolute right to offset, against any payment of Post-Closing Consideration, any amount due to LTBVI from the Selling Shareholder Parties or any claim of LTBVI against the Selling Shareholder Parties (including without limitation any such amounts or claims under Section 6.1 of the Agreement). For purposes of any such offset, LTBVI shall be entitled to not issue, or to cancel, LTBVI Shares, and the Stated Value of the LTBVI Shares shall be deemed to be the applicable amount attributable thereto. In addition to the foregoing, the Selling Shareholder Parties agree and acknowledge that any such offset shall not constitute a waiver or discharge of any other claims that LTBVI may have under this Agreement or otherwise.


C. Business Control. Nothing in this Schedule 4-2 or otherwise in the Agreement shall restrict or impair the Company's ability to undertake any and all business activities, or to forego the same, all in its sole discretion and judgment, regardless of whether or to what extent any of the foregoing may impact the Company's EBITDA.

III. Provisions Relating to LTBVI Shares.

A. Conditions to Issuance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in addition to the preceding provisions of this Schedule 4-2, each Selling Shareholder shall only be eligible for and entitled to receive any LTBVI Shares (if otherwise due hereunder) if such Selling Shareholder shall have previously entered into Shareholders' Agreement, if so requested by LTBVI.

B. Restrictions. LTBVI shall be entitled to place such legends, notations or other restrictions on or with respect to the LTBVI Shares, or any share certificates, registries, stock ledgers or other indicia thereof, to reflect the restrictions described above in its discretion.
