SECTION 3.11 Compliance with Laws; Consents and Permits.


Other than as described in Section 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Warrantors is or has been in violation in any material respect of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties. All consents, licenses, permits, approvals, orders, authorizations or registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings by or with any governmental authority (the “Permits”) and any third party (collectively with the Permits, the “Consents”) which are required to be obtained or made by each Group Company or Xumao in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents shall have been obtained or made prior to and shall be fully effective as of the Closing.

The Group Companies aggregate revenue falls below the threshold that would require any filings under Antitrust Laws. “Antitrust Laws” means laws and regulations in relation to monopolization restraints of trade and other aspects of competition that apply to the business and dealings of the Group Companies and the Investors (including their respective Affiliates) (as applicable), including, without limitation, the Sherman Act, Clayton Act and Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act in the United States, and the Antimonopoly Law of the PRC.

SECTION 7.12 Payment of PRC Taxes; Agreement to Repay Loans


Within thirty (30) Business Days following the Closing, Xumao and any other shareholders of the PRC Company who has any PRC tax liability in connection with the Restructuring shall make appropriate tax filing with the relevant PRC tax authority with respect to the Restructuring and shall have paid (or otherwise agreed to pay in a manner satisfactory to the Investors) its PRC tax liability related to the Restructuring; provided that in the event such thirtieth (30th) Business Day following the Closing falls outside of the applicable quarterly enterprise income tax filing window as prescribed by the competent local tax authority, such filing and payment of tax liability shall be completed as promptly as practicable after the beginning of the next available filing window. In no event later than December 31, 2014, the management team shall make appropriate tax filing with the relevant PRC tax authority with respect to the Restructuring and shall have paid (or otherwise agreed to pay in a manner satisfactory to the Investors) its PRC tax liability related to the Restructuring.
