2.		After the Company is set up, the operation and management power of the Company must be fully vested with Party A (Party A would exercise de facto control of Fujian Xiniya Garments and Weaving Co., Ltd.). Party B must not interfere with or involve himself in any of the Company’s business operation decisions. Party A shall run the business of the Company under applicable laws and regulations. Party A shall submit to Party B, the Company’s monthly financial statements before the 15th day of the following month, and the Company’s annual financial statements in January of the following year.

4.		Party A shall be entitled to a monthly salary of no less than RMB10,000.0 for his operation and management of the Company.
5.		Party A undertakes that he has the capability to operate the Company and to generate satisfactory profit returns.

6.		In the event that the Company has incurred serious losses during Party A’s management and goes into liquidation, Party B shall not be responsible for any debt in excess of his investment, and it is Party A’s responsibility to pay off all the debts. In such case Party B shall have the right to revoke any and all the operation and management power of the Company granted to Party A and take over the actual control over and run the Company himself. In the mean while, Party A’s Shishi Xiniya Garments and Weaving Co., Ltd. shall transfer the “Xiniya” trademark to the Company for no charge, and Party A shall not raise any objection thereto.
7.		After Party A departs from the Company, the management team and the market network established during Party A’s management shall all belong to the Company and Party A must not conduct any garment business with similar brand name or style within 3 years.
