(1) In connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Issuer, HowStuffWorks, Inc., HSW International, Inc. and HSW International Merger Corporation, HowStuffWorks and Mr. Wei Zhou entered into a Voting Agreement with respect to 11,950,000 shares owned by Mr. Wei Zhou. HowStuffWorks is a majority owned subsidiary of Convex Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Convex and HowStuffWorks expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of Issuer common stock covered by the Voting Agreement. Based on the number of shares of Issuer common stock outstanding as of April 20, 2006 (as represented by the Issuer in the Merger Agreement discussed in Items 3 and 4), the number of shares of Issuer common stock covered by the Voting Agreement represents approximately 52.25% of the outstanding Issuer common stock. The Voting Agreement incorrectly states the percentage to be 53.8%.

Item 1.	Security and Issuer
This statement relates to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of INTAC International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at Unit 6-7, 32/F., Laws Commercial Plaza, 788 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Item 2.	Identity and Background
(a) This statement is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by Convex Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Convex”) and HowStuffWorks, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a majority owned subsidiary of Convex (“HSW”) (Convex and HSW, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). The Reporting Perons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement (the “Joint Filing Agreement”), pursuant to which such persons have agreed to file this Schedule 13D in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A copy of the Joint Filing Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference. The address of the principal business and the principal office of each of the Reporting Persons is 3350 Peachtree Road, Suite 1500, Atlanta, Georgia 30326. Convex is a media and entertainment company that owns several proprietary distribution and content platforms, including the HowStuffWorks® franchise, the exclusive rights to “in-lid” CD-ROM distribution, which it operates through the LidRock division, and the Flexplay technology that enables time-limited, on-demand viewing of movies, games and other content delivered on a DVD. HSW is in the business of providing educational and informational content primarily through its website HowStuffWorks.com and through a series of books and magazines. (b) The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer (including a director or officer who may be a controlling person) of the Reporting Persons is set forth on Exhibit 99.2. (c) During the last five years, none of Convex and HSW and, to the knowledge of Convex and HSW, any of the persons listed on Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
On April 20, 2006, the Issuer, HSW, HSW International, Inc. (“Parent”), and HSW International Merger Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Merger Sub will merge with and into Issuer, with Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the contribution agreements in connection therewith, HSW will contribute certain assets, properties and rights to Parent in exchange for shares of Parent Common Stock. As a condition to HSW’s, Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, and in consideration therefore, Mr. Wei Zhou agreed to enter into a Voting Agreement. None of HSW, Parent or Merger Sub paid any additional consideration to Mr. Zhou in connection with the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreement. Under the terms of the Voting Agreement, Mr. Zhou agreed to vote all shares of Issuer common stock held by him in favor of the Transaction (as defined in Item 4), and granted HSW a proxy, to be used solely in the event of a breach or non-compliance with his obligation to vote in favor of the Transaction, to (i) demand that the Secretary of the Issuer call a special meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer to consider matters related to the Transaction, and (ii) vote all of the Shares owned by Mr. Zhou in favor of the adoption of the Issuer of the Merger Agreement, the Transaction and each of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement. Mr. Zhou also agreed that, while the Voting Agreement was in effect, he would not sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of any of his Shares, except that Mr. Zhou may transfer up to 4,000,000 shares to his immediate family members, if they agree (i) to accept such Shares subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, and (ii) to be bound by the Voting Agreement. The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this 13D. A copy of the Voting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this 13D.

Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction
As described in Item 3 above, this statement is being filed in connection with the Voting Agreement between HSW and Mr. Wei Zhou and the Merger Agreement. As a result of the Merger, (i) Issuer will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and (ii) each outstanding share of Issuer's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Issuer Common Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive one share of Parent's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Parent Common Stock”). At the effective time of the Merger, but prior to the completion of the purchase of shares of Parent Common Stock by certain investors (including the investors under the HRLP Stock Purchase Agreement defined below) and issuance of certain stock options by Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of Issuer will own 50% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock and HSW will own the remaining 50% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock. Prior to the effective time of the Merger, it is contemplated that Parent will use its best efforts to obtain approval for listing of Parent Common Stock on either the Nasdaq National Market System or the Nasdaq Capital Market (either to be referred to hereinafter as “Nasdaq”), and following the effective time of the Merger, it is contemplated that Issuer will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to terminate registration of Issuer Common Stock. At the Closing of the Merger Agreement, HSW, Mr. Zhou and Parent will enter into a registration rights agreement whereby HSW and Mr. Zhou will be granted certain registration rights with respect to the Parent Common Stock that they will receive in connection with the Merger. The consummation of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including but not limited to (i) the approval of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and all transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”) by the stockholders of Issuer, (ii) the declaration by the SEC of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC with respect to the issuance of Parent Common Stock to Issuer’s stockholders pursuant to the Merger, (iii) the approval of Parent Common Stock for listing on Nasdaq, (iv) the establishment that there is no applicable law, regulation or judgment prohibiting the contemplated Transaction, (v) the simultaneous closing of the purchase of shares of Parent Common Stock by High River Limited Partnership and StuffWorks, LLC pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated the even date with the Merger Agreement, among Parent, High River Limited Partnership and StuffWorks, LLC (the “HRLP Stock Purchase Agreement”), (vi) no party having suffered a material adverse effect, and (vii) Issuer having undertaken certain actions to restructure its operations in the People's Republic of China (the “PRC”). From and after the effective time of the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Stockholders’ Agreement (as defined in Item 6), (i) Wei Zhou, the current CEO of INTAC, will be the CEO of Parent, (ii) Mr. Jeff Arnold, the Chairman and CEO of HSW, will be the Chairman of Parent, and (iii) the Board of Directors of Parent will be comprised of seven members, with five, including Mr. Jeff Arnold, named by HSW and two, including Mr. Wei Zhou, named by INTAC. The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this 13D. A copy of the Stockholders’ Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this 13D. Except as set forth in this Item 4 or as contemplated by the provisions set forth in the agreements described in Item 7, which are incorporated herein by reference, the Reporting Person does not have any plans or proposals that relate to or that will result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) and (b) Other than those Shares that may be deemed beneficially owned in connection with the Voting Agreement, Convex and HSW have not acquired and, for the purpose of Rule 13d-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act, do not beneficially own any Shares. As a result of the Voting Agreement, Convex and HSW may be deemed to have the power to vote up to 11,950,000 shares in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement, and thus, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, Convex and HSW may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 11,950,000 Shares. All Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Convex and HSW constitute approximately 52.25% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of April 20, 2006 (as represented by the Issuer in the Merger Agreement). The Voting Agreement incorrectly states the percentage to be 53.8%.

Convex and HSW (i) are not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of Issuer as to the Shares covered by the Voting Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Voting Agreements and (ii) disclaim all beneficial ownership of such Shares. Except as set forth in this Item 5(a) and (b), none of Convex and HSW and, to the knowledge of Convex and HSW, any persons named in Exhibit 99.2 hereto beneficially owns any Shares. (c) Except for the arrangements described above, to the knowledge of Convex and HSW, no transactions in the class of securities reported have been effected during the past 60 days by any person named in Exhibit 99.2 or Item 5(a) and (b). (d) To the knowledge of Convex and HSW, no other person has the right to receive the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities of issuers reported herein. (e) Inapplicable.
Item 6.	Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
As a condition to the parties willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, and in consideration therefore, Parent, HSW and Mr. Wei Zhou agreed to enter into a Stockholders’ Agreement. Under the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement, the parties have agreed, among other things, (i) to impose certain restrictions on the transferability of the Parent Common Stock that HSW will hold upon consummation of the Merger, (ii) to cooperate on certain corporate governance matters related to the Parent, and (iii) to establish certain rights for Parent related to HSW’s business in certain territories. As a condition to High River and StuffWorks willingness to enter into the HRLP Stock Purchase Agreement, and in consideration therefore, HSW agreed to enter into Put Agreements with High River and StiffWorks. Under the terms of the Put Agreements, HSW agreed that on the 18 month anniversary of the effectiveness of the registration statement that the Parent has agreed to file on behalf of High River and StuffWorks (the “Expiration Date”), High River may elect, and if High River elects, StuffWorks may elect, to put all or part of the shares of Parent that it purchases pursuant to the HRLP Stock Purchase Agreement to HSW for an amount equal to the original purchase price paid for such shares (the “Original Purchase Price”) multiplied by the number of shares being put (the “Put Shares”), which at the election of HSW may be paid by delivery of a secured promissory note with a term of 18 months. At HSW’s election, HSW may, in lieu of purchasing the shares pursuant the put, pay to High River and StuffWorks the difference between the (i) Original Purchase Price and (ii) the average closing price of the common stock of Parent for the ten day trading period immediately prior to the Expiration Date, multiplied by the number of Put Shares. The foregoing descriptions of the Stockholder’s Agreement and the Put Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements. A copy of the Stockholders’ Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this 13D. A copy of the Put Agreements are attached as Exhibits 99.4 and 99.5 to this 13D. Except for the agreements described in Item 3 and above, to the knowledge of Convex and HSW, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise), including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, between the persons enumerated in Item 2 and any other person with respect to any securities of Issuer, including any securities pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities other than standard default and similar provisions in loan agreements.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER is entered into as of this 20^th day of April, 2006 (this “Agreement”), by and among INTAC INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), HOWSTUFFWORKS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“HSW”), HSW INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of HSW (“Parent”), and HSW INTERNATIONAL MERGER CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).

R E C I T A L S:

A. HSW has formed Parent as its wholly owned subsidiary and shall contribute to Parent certain assets, properties and rights, including, without limitation, certain rights pursuant to the Contribution Agreements, in exchange for the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein (the “Contribution”).

B. Parent has formed Merger Sub as its wholly owned subsidiary to effect the merger of Merger Sub with and into Company and pursuant to such merger the Company Stockholders will exchange their shares of Company Common Stock for Parent Common Stock upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the Nevada Merger Statutes (the “Merger”).

C. The Board of Directors of each of Company and HSW deem it fair, advisable and in the best interests of Company and HSW, respectively, and their respective stockholders that Company and HSW engage in the Contribution and the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein (the “Transaction”).

D. The respective Boards of Directors of HSW, Parent, Merger Sub and Company, and Parent, in its capacity as Merger Sub’s sole stockholder, have approved this Agreement, the Transaction, the Contribution and the Merger, as applicable, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The Board of Directors of Company has determined to recommend that the Company Stockholders adopt and approve this Agreement and approve the Merger.

E. As an inducement to HSW, Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, Wei Zhou (the “Majority Company Stockholder”) has entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof and attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which the Majority Company Stockholder has agreed, solely in his capacity as a Company Stockholder, to vote his shares of Company Common Stock in favor of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

F. As an inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, HSW and Parent have entered into a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of the date hereof and attached hereto as Exhibit B, (the “Stockholders Agreement”), which shall become effective upon the Effective Time.

G. Parent has entered into two Stock Purchase Agreements, dated as of the date hereof, and attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 and Exhibit C-2 (the “Purchase Agreements”) with the purchasers named therein, the closing of which is an integral part of the Transaction.

H. The parties hereto intend for the Transaction, including the Contribution and the Merger, to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a transaction governed under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and for the exchange of Company Common Stock for Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, conditions and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows:

ARTICLE I

1.1 The Contribution. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the two (2) Contribution Agreements to be entered into at or prior to the Closing between Parent and HSW in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 and Exhibit D-2 (collectively, the “Contribution Agreements”), HSW agrees to contribute the Contributed Content, at or prior to the Closing, to Parent by granting certain exclusive rights thereto in the Territories pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreements, free and clear of all Liens, except for those Liens set forth in Section 1.1 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule.

1.2 Issuance of Shares to HSW.

1.3 Other Agreements. In connection with the Contribution, at the Closing, HSW and Parent shall enter into (a) the Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), (b) the Services Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Services Agreement”) and (c) the Update Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.

ARTICLE II
THE MERGER

2.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof and in accordance with the Nevada Merger Statutes, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Company shall continue as the surviving corporation. Company shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Nevada and shall become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. For purposes of this Agreement, Company shall be referred to, for the period commencing at the Effective Time, as the “Surviving Corporation.”

2.2 Effective Time. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall cause articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) to be filed with the office of the Secretary of State of Nevada in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the provisions of Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended (the “Nevada Merger Statutes”). When used herein, the term “Effective Time” shall mean the date and time when the Articles of Merger have been filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada or such date and time as otherwise specified therein.

2.3 Effect of the Merger. The Merger shall, at and after the Effective Time, have all of the effects provided by the Nevada Merger Statutes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

2.4 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) The Articles of Incorporation of Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

The directors of Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation. Promptly after the

Effective Time, the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation shall resign and Parent, as the sole stockholder of the Surviving Corporation, and Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation shall nominate and elect the persons listed in Exhibit 2.6 as the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their respective resignations or the time that their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

If any officer shall be unable or unwilling to serve as an officer, the parties will agree upon another person to serve in such person’s stead.

ARTICLE III
CONVERSION OF SHARES

3.1 Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any stockholder, officer or director of Merger Sub, Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Each share of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of Company and each share owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or of Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto;

(b) Each share of Company Common Stock (other than shares cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 3.1(a)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to receive, and upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of the underlying share certificates subject to Article IV hereof, become exchangeable for one share of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Parent Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”);

(c) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any stockholder, officer or director of Company or Merger Sub, be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

3.2 Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, all outstanding options (“Company Options”) to purchase shares of Company Common Stock issued under the Company’s 2001 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) shall be assumed by Parent. Each Company Option so assumed shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Plan and all other written collateral agreement(s) between the Company and the optionee related to the Company Option (including, without limitation, the adjustment

provisions set forth in Section 3.4 of the Stock Plan as revised to reflect that, following the Effective Time, Company Options are options to purchase Parent Common Stock), except that the Company Option shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of the Company Options immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming the Company Option was fully exercisable).

3.3 No Further Rights. As a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Stockholders”), at the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Certificate”) shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except the right (subject to Section 3.1(a)) to receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in Section 3.1.

ARTICLE IV
EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

4.1 Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Company and Parent shall appoint a mutually acceptable commercial bank or trust company with assets in excess of $500,000,000 to act as exchange agent hereunder for the purpose of exchanging Company Certificates for the applicable Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Agent”). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock, certificates for Parent Common Stock, representing the Merger Consideration. Any stock certificates representing Parent Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” Except as contemplated by this Section 4.1, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

4.2 Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive the Merger Consideration: (a) a letter of transmittal that shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Company Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and which letter shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (such letter to be reasonably acceptable to Company prior to the Effective Time), and (b) instructions for effecting the surrender of such Company Certificates in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to such letter of transmittal. Upon surrender of a Company Certificate to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly and validly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Company Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor such shares of Parent Common Stock (which, at Parent’s option, shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested or is otherwise required by applicable law) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(b) (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock then held by such holder), and the Company Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any amount due. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to

be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Company Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Company Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.2, each Company Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 4.4.

4.3 No Further Ownership Rights in Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon surrender of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Article III shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares formerly represented by such Company Common Stock.

4.4 Dividends. No dividends, interest or other distributions with respect to securities of Parent shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Certificates until such Company Certificates are surrendered in accordance with this Article IV. Upon such surrender and subject to the effect of escheat, tax or other applicable laws, there shall be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose name the securities of Parent have been registered, all dividends, interest and other distributions payable in respect of such securities on a date subsequent to, and in respect of a record date after, the Effective Time.

4.5 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Company Certificates for six months after the Effective Time shall, at Parent’s request, be delivered to Parent or otherwise on the written instruction of Parent, and holders of Company Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall after such delivery look only to Parent for the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(b). Any such portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of any claims, liens or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

4.6 No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, Merger Sub, Company, Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

4.7 Lost Certificates. If any Company Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Certificate to be so lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond or other collateral security in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed

Company Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

4.8 Stock Transfer Books. The stock transfer book of Company shall be closed at the Effective Time and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of Company. On and after the Effective Time, all Company Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent for any reason shall represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.

4.9 Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock and to HSW such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock or to HSW in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

4.10 Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Merger Consideration shall be delivered to a person who may be deemed an “affiliate” of Company in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act until such person has executed and delivered to Parent an executed copy of the affiliate letter contemplated in Section 7.6 hereof.

ARTICLE V

As of its filing date (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date hereof, on the date of such filing), each Company SEC Report filed pursuant to the Exchange Act did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not misleading. Each Company SEC Report that is a registration statement, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, filed pursuant to the Securities Act, as of the date such registration statement or amendment became effective, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Each of the consolidated financial statements (including the related notes) included in the Company SEC Reports presents fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations and cash flows of Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the respective dates or for the respective periods set forth therein, all in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied during the periods and at the respective dates involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC), and subject, in the case of the

unaudited interim financial statements, to the absence of notes and normal year-end adjustments that have not had and are not reasonably expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Company and its Subsidiaries own, or hold a valid leasehold or subleasehold interest in, all assets and properties, tangible or intangible, necessary for the conduct of the business of Company and its Subsidiaries as presently conducted, except where the failure to own, or hold such leasehold or subleasehold interest in, such assets and properties could not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay consummation of the Transaction or otherwise prevent or materially delay Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement and could not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither Company nor any Subsidiary owns any real property. Section 5.12(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and correct list of each parcel of real property leased by Company or any Subsidiary (“Real Property”), such list setting forth the location of each parcel of Real Property, the landlord of the Real Property, the approximate square footage of the premises subject to the lease relating thereto, the term of such lease and the payments required to be made by Company or such Subsidiary under such lease.

5.13 Intellectual Property.

(a) (i) Company and/or each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use (in each case, free and clear of any Liens), all material Intellectual Property used in the conduct of its business as currently conducted; (ii) to the knowledge of Company, the use of any Intellectual Property by Company and/or its Subsidiaries does not infringe on or otherwise violate the rights of any Person, (iii) the use of the Intellectual Property is in accordance, in all material respects, with subsisting and enforceable licenses pursuant to which Company or any Subsidiary acquired the right to use any Intellectual Property; and (iv) to the knowledge of Company, no Person is challenging, infringing or otherwise violating any right of Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any Intellectual Property owned by and/or licensed to Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has knowledge of any pending claim, order or proceeding with respect to any Intellectual Property used by Company and its Subsidiaries and to its knowledge no Intellectual Property owned and/or licensed by Company or its Subsidiaries is being used or enforced in a manner that would reasonably be expected to result in the abandonment, cancellation or unenforceability of such Intellectual Property. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in the loss or impairment of the right of Company and/or its Subsidiaries to own or use any material Intellectual Property relating to the business of Company and/or its Subsidiaries.

(b) To the knowledge of Company, none of the material Intellectual Property or other know-how used in the business of Company and/or its Subsidiaries, the value of which to Company is contingent upon maintenance of the confidentiality thereof has been disclosed by Company or any of its Affiliates to any Person other than those Persons who are bound to hold such information in confidence pursuant to confidentiality agreements or by operation of law. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are party to any contract that materially restricts or otherwise materially limits the ability of Company or such Subsidiary to perform services for any other Person.

Intellectual Property under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the PRC Subsidiaries have and enforce a policy requiring each of their employees who have participated in the creation of any Intellectual Property that is used by the PRC Subsidiaries to enter into proprietary information, confidentiality and assignment agreements and all such current and former employees of the PRC Subsidiaries have executed such an agreement. Neither Company nor any Subsidiary has disclosed, nor is under any contractual or other obligation to disclose, to another person any of its material Trade Secrets, except pursuant to an enforceable confidentiality agreement or undertaking, and, to the knowledge of Company, no person has materially breached any such agreement or undertaking.

5.14 Material Contracts.

(a) Except for the contracts, leases, licenses, commitments, and other instruments (collectively, the “Company Contracts”) specifically disclosed in the Company Filed SEC Reports or set forth in Section 5.14 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, as of the date hereof, neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by: (i) any material partnership, joint venture or other similar agreement or arrangement; (ii) any agreement relating to indebtedness for borrowed money or the deferred purchase price of property, in either case whether incurred, assumed, guaranteed or secured by an asset and of an amount, together with all such other agreements, in excess of U.S. $5,000,000 other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in connection with the purchases by Company or any of its Subsidiaries of wireless handset products for sale and resale; or (iii) any agreement containing any provision or covenant limiting the ability of Company or any of its Subsidiaries to compete (with respect to the businesses conducted on the date hereof) with any Person in any geographic area.

(b) Each Company Contract specifically disclosed in any Company Filed SEC Report or required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.14 is valid and in full force and effect except to the extent it has previously expired in accordance with its terms. Except as set forth in Section 5.14 of the Company Disclosure Schedule or except as could not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay consummation of the Transaction or otherwise prevent or materially delay Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement and could not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) violated any provision of, or committed or failed to perform any act which with or without notice, lapse of time or both would constitute a default under the provisions of, any Company Contract or (ii) waived any right it may have under any of the Company Contracts. Unless such document is made available on a website designated by the SEC, correct and complete copies of all Company Contracts (or correct and complete narrative descriptions of any oral Company Contracts) specifically disclosed in any Company Filed SEC Report or required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.14 have previously been provided or made available to Parent.

5.15 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Company Filed SEC Reports, there is no suit, action, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened against Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any property or asset of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor is there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding against Company or any of its Subsidiaries that

(a) has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect or (b) seeks to materially delay or prevent the consummation of any of the Transaction.

5.16 Labor Relations. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining or similar agreement; to the knowledge of Company, no collective bargaining agent has been certified as a representative of any of the employees of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; to the knowledge of Company, no representation campaign or election is now in progress with respect to any employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and there are no labor disputes, grievances, controversies, strikes or requests for union representation pending, or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened, against Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses. To the knowledge of Company, no event has occurred that could give rise to any such dispute, controversy, strike or request for representation. Each of Company and its Subsidiaries has complied with all applicable PRC laws and regulations, including laws and regulations pertaining to welfare funds, social benefits, medical benefits, insurance, retirement benefits, pensions or the like, except as could not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay consummation of the Transaction or otherwise prevent or materially delay Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement and could not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

5.17 Employee Benefits.

(a) Prior to the date hereof, Company has made available to Parent each material “employee benefit plan”, as defined in ERISA, and each material plan or other material arrangement (written or oral) (including employment and severance agreements) providing for compensation, bonuses, profit-sharing, stock option or other equity-related rights or other forms of incentive or deferred compensation, employee loans, vacation benefits, insurance coverage (including any self-insured arrangements), health, medical, dental or vision benefits, disability benefits, workers’ compensation, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance benefits and post-employment or retirement benefits (including compensation, pension, health, medical, or life insurance benefits), in each case which is maintained, administered, or contributed to by Company or any ERISA Affiliate thereof and covers any employee, director or independent contractor or former employee, director or independent contractor of Company or any ERISA Affiliate thereof or under which Company or any ERISA Affiliate thereof has any material liability with respect to current or former employees, directors or independent contractors of Company or any ERISA Affiliate thereof. Copies of such plans or other arrangements (and, if applicable, related trust agreements) and all amendments thereto and written interpretations thereof have been made available to Parent prior to the date hereof together with the most recent annual report (Form 5500 Annual Report including, if applicable, Schedule B thereto) prepared in connection with any such plan or other arrangement. Such plans or other arrangements are referred to collectively as the “Company Benefit Plans”; provided that a plan or other arrangement with respect to a former employee, director or independent contractor shall constitute an “Company Benefit Plan” only to the extent that Company or its ERISA Affiliate has any present or future liability or obligation. An “ERISA Affiliate” of any person means any other person which, together with such person, would be treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Code. At no time has Company or any person who from time to time is or was an ERISA Affiliate of Company ever maintained an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA. Section 5.17(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists each Company Benefit Plan.

(b) Each of the Company Benefit Plans, and the administration thereof, is, and has been, in material compliance with the requirements provided by any and all applicable statutes, orders or governmental rules or regulations currently in effect, including, but not limited to, ERISA and the Code. Each Company Benefit Plan and its related trust which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) and Section 501(a) of the Code is so qualified, and nothing has occurred to cause the loss of such qualification. Company has made available to Parent copies of the most recent Internal Revenue Service determination letters with respect to each such Company Benefit Plan, if any. Each Company Benefit Plan which is intended to be exempt under Section 501(c)(9) or 501(c)(17) of the Code satisfies the requirements for such exemption, so qualifies in form and in operation, and meets, or has satisfied, the requirements of Section 505(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

(c) With respect to each Company Benefit Plan, there are no material funded benefit obligations for which contributions have not been made or properly accrued and there are no material unfunded benefit obligations which have not been accounted for by reserves, or otherwise properly footnoted in accordance with GAAP, on the Company Filed SEC Reports.

(d) With respect to each Company Benefit Plan (i) no prohibited transactions as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code have occurred or are expected to occur as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) no action, suit, grievance, arbitration or other manner of litigation, or claim with respect to the assets thereof of any Company Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits made in the ordinary course of plan administration for which plan administrative review procedures have not been exhausted) is pending, threatened or imminent against or with respect to any of the Company Benefit Plans, Company, any ERISA Affiliate or any fiduciary, as such term is defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA (“Fiduciary”), including but not limited to any action, suit, grievance, arbitration or other manner of litigation, or claim regarding conduct that allegedly interferes with the attainment of rights under any Company Benefit Plans. None of Company or its directors, officers, or employees, or any Fiduciary has any material liability for failure to comply with ERISA or the Code for any action or failure to act in connection with the administration or investment of such plans.

(e) No Company Benefit Plan is a multiemployer plan within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA.

(f) Company and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign requirements regarding employment.

(g) Except as set forth in Section 5.17(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries will become entitled to any change-in-control, retirement, severance, retention or similar benefit or enhanced or accelerated benefit or any forgiveness of an outstanding advance or loan as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (either solely as a result thereof or as a result of such transactions in conjunction with any other event). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no amount required to be paid or payable to or with respect to any employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (either solely as a result thereof or as a result of such transactions in conjunction with any other event) will, to the

knowledge of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, be an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

(h) There has been no amendment to, written interpretation or announcement (whether or not written) by Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates relating to, or change in participation or coverage under, any Company Benefit Plan which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such Company Benefit Plan above the level of the expense incurred in respect thereof for the twelve months ended on September 30, 2005.

5.18 Taxes. Each of Company and its Subsidiaries has filed all material Tax Returns required to have been filed (or extensions have been duly obtained) and has paid all material Taxes required to have been paid by it (or has established in accordance with GAAP an adequate accrual for all material Taxes through the end of the last period for when Company and its Subsidiaries ordinarily record items on their respective books). All such Tax Returns are, or will be at the time of filing, true and complete in all material respects. No audit is pending or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened with respect to any Tax Returns filed by, or Taxes due from, Company or any of its Subsidiaries. There is no current deficiency or adjustment for any Taxes proposed, asserted or assessed against Company or any of its Subsidiaries. There are no material Liens for Taxes upon the assets of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for statutory Liens for current Taxes not yet due and those being contested in good faith. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to, or bound by, or otherwise in any way obligated under, any tax sharing or similar agreement. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries owns an interest in real property in any jurisdiction in which a Tax is imposed, or the value of the interest is reassessed, on the transfer of an interest in real property and which treats the transfer of an interest in an entity that owns an interest in real property as a transfer of the interest in real property. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or knows of any fact that is reasonably likely to prevent (a) the Contribution together with the exchange of Company Common Stock for Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger from qualifying as a transaction under Section 351 of the Code or (b) the exchange of Company Common Stock for Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

5.19 Compliance with Applicable Laws. Company and its Subsidiaries have been issued and hold all consents, authorizations, permits, licenses, franchises, variances, exemptions, waivers, orders and approvals of all Governmental Entities necessary to own, lease or operate all of the assets and properties of Company and its Subsidiaries, as appropriate, and to carry on the businesses of Company and its Subsidiaries as now conducted, including registrations with the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, the State Administration of Industry and Commerce of the PRC, the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, tax bureau, customs authorities, product registration authorities and health authorities, as applicable (the “Company Permits”), and no suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits is pending, or to the knowledge of Company, threatened, except where the failure to have, or the suspension or cancellation of, any of the Company Permits could not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay consummation of the Transaction or otherwise prevent or materially delay Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement and could not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations and the terms of the Company Permits, except for such non-compliance, breaches or violations that could not reasonably be

expected to prevent or materially delay consummation of the Transaction or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement and could not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that any material Company Permit required for the conduct of business in the PRC which is subject to periodic review will not be granted or renewed by the relevant PRC authorities.

5.20 Insurance. Section 5.20 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete list of insurance policies maintained by Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Company and each of its Subsidiaries have made any and all payments required to maintain such policies in full force and effect. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice of default under any such policy, and neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of any pending or threatened termination or cancellation, denial of coverage or limitation or reduction of coverage or material premium increase with respect to such policy.

5.21 Transaction with Related Persons.

(a) Section 5.21(a)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth, a list of all agreements in effect between the Company or any Subsidiary, on the one hand and any Company Related Persons, on the other hand, that is not required to be disclosed in the Company Filed SEC Reports pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K. Except as set forth in Section 5.21(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule or except as disclosed in the Company Filed SEC Reports, since September 30, 2005, neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) purchased, leased or otherwise acquired any material property or assets or obtained any material services from, (ii) sold, leased or otherwise disposed of any material property or assets or provided any material services to (except with respect to remuneration for services rendered as director, officer or employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries), (iii) entered into or modified any contract or other agreement with (except with respect to services rendered as director, officer or employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries), or (iv) borrowed any money from, or made or forgiven any loan or other advance (other than expenses or similar advances made in the ordinary course of business) to, any of its officers, directors, or Affiliates (collectively, “Company Related Persons”). Prior to the date hereof, Company has made available to Parent true and complete copies of each agreement between Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Company Related Person, on the other.

The Board of Directors of Company shall recommend (and publish in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus such recommendation) the adoption of this Agreement by the Company Stockholders as set forth in Section 5.9 (the “Company Recommendation”).

“Acquisition Proposal” means, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement among the parties hereto, any offer or proposal for, or any indication of interest, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet or inquiry relating to (A) a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving it or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, (B) any transfer, lease, assignment, exchange, purchase or sale of 15% or more of the consolidated assets (including, without limitation, capital stock of its Subsidiaries) of such party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (C) any purchase or sale of, or tender or exchange offer for, any equity or voting debt securities of such party, which, if consummated, would result in any Person acquiring “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of any securities representing 15% or more of the outstanding voting power of such party (or of the surviving, resulting or ultimate parent entity in such transaction) or any of its Significant Subsidiaries.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company or its Board of Directors (including any duly constituted committee thereof) shall be permitted to engage in any discussions or negotiations with, or provide (by any medium) material, non-public data or information to, any Person in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal by any such Person (not made or received in violation of paragraph (a) of this Section 7.11), if and only to the extent that, (i) its Board of Directors concludes in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and independent financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal is reasonably expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, (ii) prior to providing any information or data to any Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal by any such Person, its Board of Directors receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement having provisions that are customary in such agreements relative to proposed transactions such as the Acquisition Proposal, as advised by outside counsel, and (iii) Company notifies HSW and Parent promptly (and, in any case within 48 hours) of such inquiries, proposals or offers received by, any such information requested from, or any such discussions or negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with, such Person or any of its representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions (including for this purpose the price, structure,

intended accounting and tax treatment, closing conditions, anticipated closing date and requisite regulatory approvals, to the extent then known or specified by such Person) of any inquiries, indications of interest, proposals, term sheets or offers.

(c) HSW agrees that it will not make or solicit any Sale of, or create, incur or assume any Encumbrance with respect to, its interest in any Permitted Transferee to which it has transferred HSW Stock unless prior thereto HSW Stock held by such entity is transferred to HSW or to one or more Permitted Transferees.

At all times, a majority of the directors on the Board shall be independent directors and the independent directors (including those designated by any

Stockholder) shall meet all requirements regarding the independence of directors as may be applicable to the Company pursuant to applicable Law or the rules of the stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed.

As of the Closing, HSW, WEI ZHOU and the Company, through the Board, shall take all such action as may be necessary (i) to cause the persons designated by each Stockholder as set forth in Exhibit 3.01(a) to be duly appointed to the Board, each to serve until the next annual election of directors of the Company (unless any such person originally designated by a Stockholder is unable to serve in such capacity, in which event such Stockholder shall designate a substitute individual), and (ii) to cause the Special Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee of the Board to be duly established, each composed of the persons set forth in Exhibit 3.01(a) and to serve for such term during which such person remains a director of the Company. HSW shall have the right to designate five (5) directors (three (3) of whom shall be independent directors) and such directors designated by HSW shall be referred to herein as the “HSW Designees”. WEI ZHOU shall have the right to designate two (2) directors (one (1) of whom shall be an independent director) and such directors designated by WEI ZHOU shall be referred to herein as the “WEI ZHOU Designees”. Each Stockholder shall have the right to request the removal, with or without cause, of any directors designated by such Stockholder, and HSW, WEI ZHOU and the Company, through the Board, shall cause any such person to be removed from the Board.

If any director shall be unable or unwilling to serve as a director (including as a member of any committee), the Stockholder which designated such individual as set forth in Exhibit 3.01(a) shall designate another individual and each of HSW, WEI ZHOU and the Company, through the Board, shall cause such person to be nominated for such position. If it is determined that any incumbent director designated by a Stockholder shall not stand for re-election at any annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, such Stockholder shall designate the person who shall be nominated for election as a director in lieu of such incumbent director.

(b) Following the nomination of the designees to the Board pursuant to Section 3.01(a), at each election of directors at which the term of any director designated by a Stockholder will expire, the Board shall (i) recommend for election to the Board a nominee who shall be designated by the Stockholder that initially designated the director whose term will expire, and (ii) shall use best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of such nominee consistent with the efforts used to solicit proxies for any other Board nominees.

(c) In addition to the Special Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee, the Board shall have such other committees as the Board may from time to time determine, as may be permitted under applicable Law, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company. Each of the Special Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee shall be comprised of at least three (3) members. One independent director designated by each Stockholder shall serve on each committee of the Board. All members of the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee shall be independent directors.

(d) Each Stockholder hereby agrees that at every meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which directors are to be elected or at any meeting at which the removal of a

OTHER MARKETS, ETC.

SECTION 5.01 Other Markets. (a) If HSW wishes or proposes to, or receives a bona fide offer from any other Person to, engage in a transaction involving an investment in or purchase or other acquisition of a direct or indirect interest in any entity, business, assets, properties or securities in exchange for or in connection with a sale, transfer, assignment or license of HSW’s rights in the Licensed Content (as defined in the Contribution Agreements) or the Sublicensed Content (as defined in the Contribution Agreements) in any territory outside the United States or the Territories (an “Other Market Transaction”), HSW agrees to:

(i) give the Company written notice of such contemplated Other Market Transaction which written notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer to the Company to participate in such Other Market Transaction in accordance with this Section (should such Other Market Transaction occur) and shall include detailed information relating to the material terms of such Other Market Transaction, including the identity of the parties, a description of the assets and business in reasonable detail, the price and the basis for determining the price; and

(ii) following delivery of such written notice, discuss with the Company its participation in such Other Market Transaction in good faith for a period of time expiring on the earlier of: (A) sixty (60) days from the date of such written notice, and (B) the date on which the Company notifies HSW that it is not interested in participating in such Other Market

Transaction; provided, however, that HSW shall have the right to proceed with the closing of such Other Market Transaction prior to the expiration of such period as long as the Company’s ability to participate in the Other Market Transaction in accordance with this Section after such closing shall not be adversely affected.

(b) If HSW elects to participate in any such Other Market Transaction, the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall have the right to acquire not less than twenty-five percent (25%) and not more than fifty percent (50%) of HSW’s interest in such Other Market Transaction at a price equal to US$10 million for fifty percent (50%) of HSW’s interest in such Other Market Transaction, provided that if the Company (or its Subsidiary) elects to purchase less than fifty percent (50%) of HSW’s interest in such Other Market Transaction, the price shall be decreased in proportion to the decrease in percentage of HSW’s interest in such Other Market Transaction purchased by the Company (or its Subsidiary). The Company shall have sixty (60) days from the date of the written notice from HSW under Section 5.01(a) within which to notify HSW, in writing, that it elects to purchase a portion (and stating the amount of such portion) of HSW’s interest in such Other Market Transaction. Failure by the Company to give written notice to HSW within such period shall constitute a rejection of the offer to participate in such Other Market Transaction.

(c) The closing of the purchase by the Company of a portion of HSW’s interest in any such Other Market Transaction shall occur (i) at the time and place of the closing of such Other Market Transaction or (ii) if the closing of such Other Market Transaction has occurred prior to notice of election from the Company pursuant to Section 5.01(b), at the principal offices of HSW not later than fifteen (15) days following the date of such notice of election from the Company.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, HSW shall be under no obligation to enter into any Other Market Transaction and the determination of whether to enter into any Other Market Transaction shall be made by HSW in its sole and absolute discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay or be obligated to incur additional fees or costs for Additional Rights obtained for HSW unless HSW agrees to bear such additional fees and/or costs. In the event additional fees or costs are required, the Company shall give HSW the opportunity to be involved in the negotiations regarding amount of such additional fees and/or costs (and the Additional Rights obtained therefor) and shall obtain HSW’s written consent prior to agreeing to such additional fees and/or costs.

SECTION 5.03 Non-Competition. The Company covenants and agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it shall not, and shall use its best efforts to cause each of its

Subsidiaries not to, within the United States, directly or indirectly, either on its own behalf or in partnership or cooperation with any Person, whether as principal, agent, consultant, member, shareholder, partner, joint venturer or the like, (a) enter into any agreement with, hold any equity or financial interest in, or permit its name or any part thereof to be used or associated in business with, any Person that provides any services or products that compete with any services or products of HSW in the United States, or (b) otherwise provide any services or products that compete with any services or products of HSW in the United States, except with the prior written consent of HSW.

EXECUTION COPY

PUT AGREEMENT

THIS PUT AGREEMENT (the “Put Agreement”) is made this 20th day of April, 2006, by and between HowStuffWorks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HSW”) and StuffWorks, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“StuffWorks”).

WHEREAS, HSW International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HSW International”) has entered to a certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), of even date herewith, pursuant to which StuffWorks has agreed to purchase that number of shares of HSW International common stock as set forth in Article II of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “HSW International Common Stock”) at price per share as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Original Per Share Purchase Price”) for an aggregate price of $2,500,000.00;

WHEREAS, as additional inducement to StuffWorks to enter into the Stock Purchase Agreement, HSW has agreed to execute and deliver this Put Agreement to provide StuffWorks with the right to cause HSW to purchase the HSW International Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, this Put Agreement shall only become effective upon the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Effective Date”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, it hereby is agreed as follows:

1. Certain Definitions. Except as otherwise designated, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

2. Put Provisions.

(a) If High River Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“High River”), delivers a Put Notice to HSW pursuant to that certain Put Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2006 between High River and HSW (the “High River Put Notice”), except as otherwise provided herein, on, but not before, the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement by and among HSW International and the Purchasers dated as of the Closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement) (the “Expiration Date”), StuffWorks may irrevocably elect (the “Put Right”), by providing written notice to HSW of such election (a “Put Notice”), to cause HSW to purchase all (or such portion as High River elects) of the HSW International Common Stock (the “Put Shares”) for an amount equal to: (i) the Original Per Share Purchase Price, multiplied by (ii) the number of Put Shares subject to the Put Notice (the “Purchase Price”). Upon delivery of such Put Notice, StuffWorks shall be obligated to purchase the Put Shares as provided herein. In the event that either: (A) High River does not deliver the High River Put Notice to HSW on the Expiration Date, or (B) StuffWorks does not exercise its Put Right on the Expiration Date, this Put Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that StuffWorks has sold any of the HSW International Common Stock and purchased shares of common stock of HSW International prior to the Expiration Date, the Put Shares shall only include the HSW International Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. For the

avoidance of doubt, on or promptly following the Effectiveness Date, the parties shall agree in writing on the date which shall constitute the Expiration Date hereunder.

(b) The closing of the purchase and sale of the Put Shares (the “Put Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, 3290 Northside Parkway, N.W., Suite 400, Atlanta, Georgia 30327 on a date mutually agreed upon by HSW and StuffWorks but no earlier than ten (10) business days after the date upon which HSW receives the Put Notice. Subject to Section 3, at the Put Closing, HSW, in its sole discretion, shall deliver to StuffWorks: (i) a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of the Purchase Price with the same interest rate and a term of 18 months from the Put Closing in a form and substance similar to the HSW Promissory Note dated September 30, 2005 in favor of StuffWorks, and subject to the same covenants and other provisions of the Note and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Note Agreement”), entered into by and among HSW and the Persons listed on Schedule A attached thereto in connection therewith, including the Security Documents (as defined in the Note Agreement) or (ii) the Purchase Price in readily available funds by certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by StuffWorks.

(c) At the Put Closing, StuffWorks shall convey, assign and transfer unto HSW the Put Shares, free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances (other than any liens, claims or encumbrances arising from the Merger Agreement or from applicable federal or state securities laws), in exchange for the delivery by HSW to StuffWorks of the Purchase Price. At the Put Closing, HSW and StuffWorks shall execute and deliver to each other any and all documents, agreements, instruments or certificates that are reasonably necessary to effectuate and consummate the sale of the Put Shares from StuffWorks to HSW as described herein.

3. Election of StuffWorks. If StuffWorks provides a Put Notice on the Expiration Date, StuffWorks may elect in its sole discretion to cause HSW to pay to it an amount equal to the Market Loss (as defined below) in lieu of causing HSW to purchase the Put Shares as set forth in Section 2(a); provided that StuffWorks shall make such election at the time of the delivery of the Put Notice to HSW. “Market Loss” means (i) the difference between (A) the Original Per Share Purchase Price and (B) the Average Price Per Share (as defined below), multiplied by (ii) the number of Put Shares. The “Average Price Per Share” means the average closing price of the common stock of HSW International as listed on the NASDAQ market for the ten day trading period immediately prior to the Expiration Date. In such event, on the Put Closing, HSW shall make a payment to StuffWorks of an amount equal to the Market Loss in readily available funds by certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by High River and High River shall retain the Put Shares.

4. Certain Trading Activities. StuffWorks covenants and agrees that, during the period from the Effectiveness Date through and including the Expiration Date, StuffWorks will not directly or indirectly, nor will any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with StuffWorks, engage in or hold a short position, directly or indirectly, in any shares of the common stock of HSW International, and (ii) during the ten day trading period immediately prior to the Expiration Date, StuffWorks will not directly or indirectly, nor will any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with StuffWorks, engage in any transactions involving the common stock of HSW International.

5. No Voting Rights. Nothing herein shall be construed to confer upon HSW any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action, receive notice of meetings or be deemed to be a shareholder of HSW International with respect to any of the HSW International Common Stock for any purpose unless and until HSW purchases any of the Put Shares hereunder.

6. Notices. All notices or other communications under this Put Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in Person, by telecopy (with confirmation of receipt), or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

PUT AGREEMENT

THIS PUT AGREEMENT (the “Put Agreement”) is made this 20th day of April, 2006, by and between HowStuffWorks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HSW”) and High River Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“High River”).

WHEREAS, HSW International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HSW International”) has entered to a certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), of even date herewith, pursuant to which High River has agreed to purchase that number of shares of HSW International common stock as set forth in Article II of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “HSW International Common Stock”) at a price per share as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Original Per Share Purchase Price”) for an aggregate price of $10,000,000.00;

WHEREAS, as additional inducement to High River to enter into the Stock Purchase Agreement, HSW has agreed to execute and deliver this Put Agreement to provide High River with the right to cause HSW to purchase the HSW International Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, this Put Agreement shall only become effective upon the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Effective Date”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, it hereby is agreed as follows:

1. Certain Definitions. Except as otherwise designated, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

2. Put Provisions.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, on, but not before, the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement by and among HSW International and the Purchasers dated as of the Closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement) (the “Expiration Date”), High River may irrevocably elect (the “Put Right”), by providing written notice to HSW of such election (a “Put Notice”), to cause HSW to purchase all (or such portion as High River elects) of the HSW International Common Stock (the “Put Shares”) for an amount equal to: (i) the Original Per Share Purchase Price, multiplied by (ii) the number of Put Shares subject to the Put Notice (the “Purchase Price”). Upon delivery of such Put Notice, HSW shall be obligated to purchase the Put Shares as provided herein. High River shall notify StuffWorks, LLC one business day prior to the Expiration Date if it intends to elect to exercise its Put Right hereunder and shall furnish a copy of such Put Notice to StuffWorks, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, on the Expiration Date at c/o The Walters Group, 5500 East Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV 89122, Attn: Mike Luce or such other address as such party may have furnished to High River in writing prior to the Expiration Date. In the event that High River does not exercise its Put Right on the Expiration Date, this Put Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that High River has sold any of the HSW International Common Stock and purchased shares of common stock of HSW International prior to the Expiration Date, the Put Shares shall only

include the HSW International Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, on or promptly following the Effectiveness Date, the parties shall agree in writing on the date which shall constitute the Expiration Date hereunder.

(b) The closing of the purchase and sale of the Put Shares (the “Put Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, 3290 Northside Parkway, N.W., Suite 400, Atlanta, Georgia 30327 on a date mutually agreed upon by HSW and High River but no earlier than ten (10) business days after the date upon which HSW receives the Put Notice. Subject to Section 3, at the Put Closing, HSW, in its sole discretion, shall deliver to High River: (i) a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of the Purchase Price with the same interest rate and a term of 18 months from the Put Closing in a form and substance similar to the HSW Promissory Note dated September 30, 2005 in favor of High River and subject to the same covenants and other provisions of the Note and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2005 (the “Note Agreement”), entered into by and among HSW and the Persons listed on Schedule A attached thereto in connection therewith, including the Security Documents (as defined in the Note Agreement) or (ii) the Purchase Price in readily available funds by certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by High River.

(c) At the Put Closing, High River shall convey, assign and transfer unto HSW the Put Shares, free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances (other than any liens, claims or encumbrances arising from the Merger Agreement or from applicable federal or state securities laws), in exchange for the delivery by HSW to High River of the Purchase Price. At the Put Closing, HSW and High River shall execute and deliver to each other any and all documents, agreements, instruments or certificates that are reasonably necessary to effectuate and consummate the sale of the Put Shares from High River to HSW as described herein.

3. Election of High River. If High River provides a Put Notice on the Expiration Date, High River may elect in its sole discretion to cause HSW to pay to it an amount equal to the Market Loss (as defined below) in lieu of causing HSW to purchase the Put Shares as set forth in Section 2(a); provided that High River shall make such election at the time of the delivery of the Put Notice to HSW. “Market Loss” means (i) the difference between (A) the Original Per Share Purchase Price and (B) the Average Price Per Share (as defined below), multiplied by (ii) the number of Put Shares. The “Average Price Per Share” means the average closing price of the common stock of HSW International as listed on the NASDAQ market for the ten day trading period immediately prior to the Expiration Date. In such event, on the Put Closing, HSW shall make a payment to High River of an amount equal to the Market Loss in readily available funds by certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by High River and High River shall retain the Put Shares.

4. Certain Trading Activities. High River covenants and agrees that, (i) during the period from the Effectiveness Date through and including the Expiration Date, High River will not directly or indirectly, nor will any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with High River, engage in any short sales involving the common stock of HSW International or hold a short position, directly or indirectly, in any shares of the common stock of HSW International, and (ii) during the ten day trading period immediately prior to the Expiration Date, High River will not directly or indirectly, nor will any person acting on behalf of or

pursuant to any understanding with High River, engage in any transactions involving the common stock of HSW International.
