None of the operating subsidiaries organized under the laws of the PRC will guarantee the Notes.

The Issuer is our wholly-owned subsidiary established solely for the purpose of issuing the Notes. The Issuer will on-lend the gross proceeds of this Offering to us. The payment obligations of the Issuer under the Notes shall, save for certain exceptions, at all times rank at least equally with all of its present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The Notes and the Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future obligations of RKIL’s subsidiaries (other than the Subsidiary Guarantors) and be effectively subordinated to the secured obligations of the Guarantors, to the extent of the assets serving as security therefor. However, applicable law may limit the enforceability of the Subsidiary Guarantees. See “Risk factors—Risks relating to the Subsidiary Guarantors.” The Notes will bear interest from September 21, 2010 at the interest rate of 9.5% per annum.
