The credit facilities have terms ranging from 1 to 3 years. Each credit facility bears interest based on the prevailing rate stipulated by the People’s Bank of China and contains financial covenants including, among other things, limitations on certain additional indebtedness and liens, and certain other transactions specified in the respective agreement. Each credit facility contains cross-default provision whereby our failure to make any payment on a principal amount from any credit facility will constitute a default on the respective agreement. Interest on any outstanding borrowings is due at least monthly. No amounts are outstanding under these credit facilities as of the date of issuance of this report.
