In the event that the Purchaser has not fully funded the purchase price for the Founder Share Options in accordance with the terms of the Founder Share Option Agreement at the time of the Closing, and provided the Buyer elects to waive such breach and proceed with the Closing, then for each share that the number of Founder Option Shares is reduced in accordance with the Founder Share Option

(e) In the event that the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2012 exceeds the Target EBITDA, the Buyer shall, within ten Business
Days after the applicable Determination Date, issue to the Stockholders an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of Buyer Common Stock (the “Earnout Payment Shares”) issued in the name of the Stockholders and in such amounts as set forth opposite each Stockholder’s name on Schedule I. The “Earnout Payment” shall be the issuance of the Earnout Payment Shares. (e)如果在终止于2012年12月31日的年度中本公司的经调整的息税折旧摊销前利润超过了目标息税折旧摊销前利润,买方应在适用确定日期后的十个营业日内以各位股东的名称发行总额为1,200,000股的买方普通股(“获利能力付款股票”),发行数量应依照附件I中每位股东名称对面所示的数量。“获利能力付款”应为“获利能力付款股票”的发行价。
(f) If the Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable Measuring Period exceeds the Target EBITDA for such period, then, within ten Business Days after the later of the applicable Determination Date and the date the Annual Cash Dividend for all Measuring Periods prior to the applicable Determination Date have been paid, the Buyer shall: (i) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, pay the Stockholders an aggregate of RMB15.75 million and, (ii) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, pay the Stockholders an aggregate of RMB22.50 million (each of the foregoing, an “Additional Earnout Payment”). The Additional Earnout Payment will be paid to the Stockholders in such amounts as are set forth opposite each Stockholder’s name on Schedule I. For the avoidance of doubt, if Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable Measuring Period does not exceed the applicable Target EBITDA, then the Stockholders will not be entitled to any Additional Earnout Payment for such Measuring Period. In lieu of receiving the Additional Earnout Payment in cash, each Stockholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to receive such Stockholder’s Additional Earnout Payment in shares of Buyer Common Stock (the “Additional Earnout Payment Shares”) at a price per Additional Earnout Payment Share equal to the 40 day average closing price of the Buyer’s Common Stock as of the end of the applicable Measuring Period relating to the issuance of such Additional Earnout Payment Shares. The election to receive Additional Earnout Payment Shares in lieu of the Additional Earnout Payment must be provided by the applicable Stockholder in writing to the Buyer prior to the fifth Business Day after the applicable Determination Date and any such election shall be irrevocable after it has been delivered in writing to the Buyer.
(f)如果适用衡量期的经调整的息税折旧摊销前利润超过了该时期的目标息税折旧摊销前利润,那么,买方应在适用确定日期和该适用确定日期之前的所有衡量期的年度现金股息支付之日二者中的较晚者之后十个营业日内:(i)就终止于2013年12月31日的财政年度向各位股东支付总额为1,575万元的人民币,以及(ii)就终止于2014年12月31日的财政年度向各位股东支付总额为2,250万元的人民币(上述每一项均称为“额外的获利能力付款”)。额外获利能力付款的支付金额应参照附件I中每位股东名称对面所示的金额。为避免存疑,如果适用衡量期的经调整的息税折旧摊销前利润未超过适用的目标息税折旧摊销前利润,那么,就该衡量期而言,各位股东便没有资格获取任何额外的获利能力付款。除了以现金方式接收额外的获利能力付款,每位股东均有权利,但并非义务,以买方
普通股(“额外的获利能力付款股票”)的形式来接收该股东的额外的获利能力付款,额外的获利能力付款股票的每股股价为,发行该等额外的获利能力付款股票时对应的适用衡量期结束之日前40天内买方普通股收盘价的平均值。若选择用额外的获利能力付款股票来代替额外的获利能力付款,该股东必须在适用确定日期后十五个营业日内以书面形式告知买方,且该等选择以书面形式告知买方后,便不可撤销。
(g) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the end of the applicable Measuring Period (each a “Determination Date”), Buyer shall advise Representative of Buyer’s determination of the Adjusted EBITDA for such Measuring Period, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged that the personnel of Buyer who will be primarily responsible for preparing the foregoing documents are the Stockholders and personnel reporting to them, and Buyer shall not be responsible for any delay or error or inadequate information caused by any such persons.
(g)适用衡量期结束后(各自称为“确定日期”)买方应在合理可行的前提下尽快向上述代表说明买方对该等适用衡量期中的经调整的息税折旧摊销前利润的确定意见。尽管存在前述规定,公认的事实是,负责起草上述文件的买方人员为股东和向他们进行报告的员工,买方不对该等人员造成的拖延、错误或资料不足承担责任。
(h) If Representative and Buyer are unable to agree in good faith as to the Earnout Payment or Additional Earnout Payment for a Measuring Period within fifteen days after delivery of the determination of the Adjusted EBITDA for such Measuring Period, as applicable, then Buyer and Representative shall submit any matter(s) in dispute to a mutually acceptable certified public accounting firm for resolution.

Each such insurance policy is valid and binding and in full force and effect, all premiums due thereunder have been paid and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have received any notice of cancellation or termination in respect of any such policy or default thereunder. Stockholder believes such insurance policies, in light of the nature of the Company and its Subsidiaries’ business, assets and properties, are in amounts and have coverage that are reasonable and customary for Persons engaged in such business and having such assets and properties. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the knowledge of the Company, the Person to whom such policy has been issued, has received notice that any insurer under any policy referred to in this Section 3.18 is denying liability with respect to a claim thereunder or defending under a reservation of rights clause. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.18, within
the last two (2) years none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has filed for any claims exceeding $100,000 against any of its insurance policies, exclusive of automobile and health insurance policies. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice from any of its insurance carriers or brokers that any premiums will be materially increased in the future, and does not have any reason to believe that any insurance coverage listed on Schedule 3.18 will not be available in the future on substantially the same terms as now in effect.
保险。附件13.8包含有一份目前有效的,为本公司或其任何子公司的财产、资产或业务,或它们各自的员工(除了该等员工自己购买的保险)提供保险的所有责任险、财产险、工伤补偿险和其它险种保险单的真实、完整且正确的清单(包括承保人的名称和地址,其它人的名称,但不包括作为该等保险单签发对象的本公司及其子公司,保险单的到期日、年保险费和付款条款,不管是“发起索赔”保险单,还是“事故发生即理赔”保险单,以及对保险单性质的简单介绍)。每份该等保险单均有效、有约束力且具备全部效力,其项下的到期保险费已经进行了支付,本公司或其任何子公司均未收到关于取消或终止该等保险单,或在其项下存在违约行为的通知。鉴于本公司及其子公司的业务、资产或财产的性质,每位股东均相信,该等保险单的金额和承保范围就参与该等业务或拥有该等财产或资产的人而言是合理且符合常规的。本公司或其任何子公司,或就本公司所知,该等保险单的签发对象,均未曾收到该等通知,声称本章节3.18中提及的保险单项下的承保人拒绝对保险单项下的索赔承担责任,或在保留权利条款项下进行抗辩。除了附件3.18所示,在最后两(2)年期间,本公司或其任何子公司均未在其保险单项下提起金额超过100,000美元的索赔,除了汽车和健康保险保单。本公司或其任何子公司均未从其承保人或保险经纪人处收到声称将来保险费会大幅增加的通知,也没有理由相信在与目前有效时期实质上同等的将来时期附件3.18中所列的承保范围会失效。
3.19 Licenses and Permits. Schedule 3.19 correctly lists each license, franchise, permit, order or approval or other similar authorization affecting, or relating in any way to, the Business, together with the name of the Authority issuing the same (the “Permits”).

The Company and its Subsidiaries have all Permits necessary to operate the Business. 许可和批准。附件3.19正确列出了影响到上述业务的,或以任何方式与之存在关联的许可、特许、批准、命令、认可或其它类似授权,同时列出了签发该等许可的官方机构的名称(“许可”)。除了附件3.19中所指出的,该等许可为有效且具备全部效力的,而且,假设交易截止日之前已获得了所有本公司的同意意见,或对此作出弃权处理,本协议中所述的交易不会终止、损害上述许可,或使其变为可终止。本公司及其子公司拥有经营其业务所需的所有必要许可。
