Since their respective dates of incorporation, no Group Company has incurred any Taxes, assessments or governmental charges other than in the ordinary course of business, and each Group Company has made adequate provisions on its respective books of account in accordance with U.S. GAAP (except in the case of the PRC Subsidiary, which has made adequate provisions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC) for all actual and contingent Taxes with respect to its consolidated business, properties and operations for such period. Each Group Company has withheld or collected from each payment made to each of its employees, the amount of all Taxes (including, but not limited to, United States income taxes and other foreign taxes) required to be withheld or collected therefrom, and has paid the same to the proper Tax Authority.

Neither any Group Company nor Double Unity nor the Founder is aware that any officer or key employee, or that any group of key employees, intends to terminate their employment with any Group Company, nor does any Group Company, Double Unity or the Founder have a present intention to terminate the employment of any of the foregoing.
