Exhibit A

ATTORNEY LETTER GUIDELINES

To: Attorneys Providing Letters with Respect to Adequate Current Information

You are being asked by an issuer (the "Issuer") of securities quoted on OTC Link (the "Securities"), as counsel to the Issuer, to provide a letter with respect to the information publicly disclosed by the Issuer and published through the OTC Disclosure & News Service. The letter will be posted by the Issuer, and will be published, accompanying the Issuer's disclosure, through the OTC Disclosure & News Service. This memorandum describes the responsibilities of attorneys with respect to such letters and the formal requirements for such letter. We recognize that forms for such letters may vary among law firms and attorneys. You should use the form prescribed by your firm, provided that all of the matters required below are addressed.

OTC Markets Group recognizes the crucial role of attorneys in the disclosure process. Attorneys prepare, or assist in the preparation of, disclosure materials that are posted through the OTC Disclosure & News Service by, or on behalf of, issuers. These materials are relied upon by market participants, including public investors, making investment decisions. Thus, OTC Markets Group, and the investing public, must be able to rely upon the integrity of in-house and retained lawyers who represent issuers.

The Standards of Professional Conduct for Attorneys Appearing and Practicing before the Commission in the Representation of an Issuer promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission prohibits attorneys from assisting clients in the commission of frauds. Similarly, the Ethical Standards adopted in every State, while recognizing the duty of attorneys to represent their clients zealously within the bounds of the law, states that a lawyer may not "counsel or assist the client in conduct that the lawyer knows to be illegal or fraudulent." OTC Markets Group urges counsel in preparing a letter with respect to adequate current information to consider carefully his or her ethical obligations to assist an issuer to prepare materials that provide investors with all material information necessary to make an informed investment decision.

Counsel's letter must adhere substantially to the following formal requirements:

  1. The letter must be addressed to OTC Markets Group Inc. ("OTC Markets Group") and must state that
    OTC Markets Group is entitled to rely on such letter in determining whether the Issuer has made adequate current information publicly available within the meaning of Rule 144(c)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.
  2. The letter must state that counsel is a U.S. resident and has been retained by the Issuer for the purpose of rendering this letter and related matters. The letter must describe counsel's relationship to the issuer
    (e.g., an employee of the issuer, law firm serving as general counsel, law firm serving a regular disclosure counsel, law firm retained solely for the purpose of reviewing the current information supplied by the issuer). The letter must state whether counsel beneficially owns any shares of the issuer's securities, and if so the number of shares, the date(s) on which the shares were received and any restrictions on the shares. The letter must also state whether counsel has received, or has agreement to receive in the future, shares of the issuer's stock, in payment for services.
  3. The letter must state that counsel has examined such corporate records and other documents and such questions of law as counsel considered necessary or appropriate for purposes of rendering the letter.
  4. The letter must identify the jurisdictions where counsel is authorized to practice law, the jurisdictions covered by the letter, which must include the laws of the United States, and if the letter relies on the work of other counsel, such other counsel must be identified, and such counsel's letter must be attached and adhere to the requirements set forth herein.
  5. The letter must state that counsel is permitted to practice before the Securities and Exchange
    Commission (the "SEC") and has not been prohibited from practice thereunder. The letter must also state whether counsel is currently, or has in the past five years, been the subject of an investigation, hearing, or proceeding by the SEC, the U.S Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the

  3.

  4. The letter must state that the Information (i) constitutes "adequate current public information" concerning the Securities and the Issuer and "is available" within the meaning of Rule 144(c)(2) under the Securities
    Act, (ii) includes all of the information that a broker-dealer would be required to obtain from the Issuer to publish a quotation for the Securities under Rule 15c2-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

  9. The letter may state that no person other than OTC Markets Group is entitled to rely on it, but must grant OTC Markets Group full and complete permission and rights to publish the letter through the OTC Disclosure & News Service for public viewing.
  10. Counsel must state whether or not the issuer, or its predecessors, is or ever was a "shell company" as defined in Rules 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 and 12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934.
