The business address of both Mr. Jiang and the Issuer is 28-30/F, Zhao Feng World Trade Building, 369 Jiangsu Road, Shanghai 200050, People’s Republic of China. Mr. Jiang is a citizen of Singapore.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
     On September 7, 2010, JJ Media and Mr. Jiang entered into an Underwriting Agreement with the Issuer and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as underwriter, pursuant to which JJ Media agreed to sell 8,100,000 ADSs at a price of $18.90 per ADS under a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 169249) and a related prospectus supplement (the “Public Offering”). Of the 8,100,000 ADSs sold, 5,300,000 ADSs were purchased by Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the “underwriter”). The remaining 2,800,000 ADSs (“hedge shares”) were purchased by Goldman Sachs International or its affiliate (the “variable price seller”) with a view to offer such ADSs to the public.
     Upon the closing of the Public Offering on September 13, 2010, JJ Media will receive aggregate proceeds of $153,090,000. In connection with the closing of the Public Offering, JJ Media will primarily use the proceeds of the Public Offering to (1) pay in full the Citi Loan of $99,400,000 and (2) purchase the capped call options relating to 10,100,000 ADSs described in Items 5 and 6 hereof.

     Mr. Jiang currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Issuer. In his capacity as a director, he will participate in, and have the opportunity to vote on, matters that are presented to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, including, without limitation, any extraordinary corporate transactions and material changes to the Issuer’s capitalization, dividend policy, business or corporate structure. Additionally, Mr. Jiang currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer and, in his capacities as such, supervises the overall operations of the Issuer and is responsible for assuring that all directions of the Board of Directors are carried into effect.

 


Table of Contents

     Mr. Jiang and JJ Media may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or dispose of all or any portion of their securities, in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to relevant securities laws and regulations and the Issuer’s share trading policy. Any open market or privately negotiated purchases or sales may be made at any time without prior notice.
     Neither Mr. Jiang nor JJ Media has present plans or proposals in the capacity as a shareholder of the Issuer that relate to or that would result in any transaction, event or action specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; provided, that Mr. Jiang may, at any time, review or reconsider his position with respect to the Issuer and reserves the right to develop such plans or proposals.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     (a) and (b) The information contained on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.
     As of the date hereof, Mr. Jiang beneficially owns in the aggregate 100,586,135 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 14.05% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. Mr. Jiang has sole power to vote and sole power to dispose as to all the 100,586,135 Ordinary Shares he owns.
     As of the date hereof, JJ Media beneficially owns in the aggregate 100,586,135 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 14.05% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. JJ Media has sole power to vote and sole power to dispose as to all the 100,586,135 Ordinary Shares it owns.
     (c) (1) Public Offering: On September 7, 2010, JJ Media and Mr. Jiang entered into the Underwriting Agreement described in Item 3 above pursuant to which JJ Media agreed to sell 8,100,000 ADSs at a price of $18.90 per ADS. Of the 8,100,000 ADSs sold, 5,300,000 ADSs were purchased by Goldman, Sachs & Co.. The remaining 2,800,000 ADSs were purchased by Goldman Sachs International or its affiliate (the “variable price seller”) with a view to offer such ADSs to the public.
     (2) Capped Call Options: Concurrent with the pricing of the registered offering pursuant to the Public Offering described above, JJ Media entered into three capped call transaction confirmations (the “Options Agreements”) with the variable price seller pursuant to which, JJ Media purchased call options relating to 10,100,000 ADSs with a hedge reference price of $19.25 per ADS. The capped call options under the Options Agreements are divided into a number of components with different expiration dates. Upon the expiration of each component, JJ Media will have the right to receive an amount in cash representing any excess of the lesser of the agreed-upon cap price and the volume-weighted average price of the ADSs for the applicable expiration date over the agreed-upon strike price for the capped call transaction. The cash amount receivable by JJ Media pursuant to the Options Agreements is subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments and modifications, including, without limitation, adjustments to the number of capped call options upon the occurrence of certain corporate events involving the Issuer or the ADSs. Such cash amount (in the aggregate for all components) will be paid by the variable price seller to JJ Media on the third business day following the expiration date for the last component.
     (3) Swap: On September 7, 2010, JJ Media entered into a share swap transaction confirmation (the “Swap Agreement”) with GSI, with a maturity date on or about October 28, 2010, pursuant to which variable price seller acquired “long” exposure, and JJ Media acquired “short” exposure, to 2,000,000 ADSs. The notional amount of the swap is based on such number of ADSs and an initial price of USD18.90 per ADS. Under a pledge and security agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), JJ Media has pledged 2,000,000 ADSs (the “Pledged Shares”) to secure its obligations under the Swap Agreement. JJ Media will retain voting rights and rights to ordinary dividends under the Pledged Shares during the term of the pledge. The swap transaction will be cash-settled. Upon settlement, JJ Media will pay the variable price seller a fee on the notional amount at the USD Federal Funds Rate, and the variable price seller will pay JJ Media the difference between the average of the volume-weighted average price of the ADSs over the valuation period and the initial price. Upon settlement, the Pledged Shares will be released and returned to JJ Media.

     (4) Guaranty: On September 7, 2010, Mr. Jason Nanchun Jiang entered into a Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) in favor of GSI. The Guaranty was entered into to guarantee the payment of all amounts, and the performance of all obligations, by JJ Media under the Capped Call Options, Swap and the other transaction documents relating to the Capped Call Options and Swap.
     (5) 10b5-1 Plan: Concurrent with the pricing of the Public Offering, JJ Media entered into a share sale plan (the “Sales Plan”) in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act and Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act with a broker-dealer affiliate of GSI (the “Seller”). Under the Sales Plan, the Seller will sell on behalf of JJ Media up to a maximum of 2,000,000 ADSs subject to the conditions and terms of the Sales Plan. The dates of the sales under the Sales Plan are intended to coincide with the valuation period under the Swap Agreement.
     Forms of the Underwriting Agreement, Options Agreements, Pledge Agreement, Swap Agreement, Guaranty and 10b5-1 Plan are attached as Exhibits 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
     Subscription for Shares in 2009 and Related Loan Arrangements
     On September 23, 2009, JJ Media and the Issuer entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which the Issuer issued and sold to JJ Media, and JJ Media subscribed for and purchased, 75,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer at a subscription price of US$1.899 per share (equivalent to US$9.495 per ADS). The aggregate subscription price was US$142,425,000. The issuance was completed on November 19, 2009.
     JJ Media’s subscription was funded with the proceeds from a loan with a principal amount of US$142,000,000 (the “Citi Loan”) made by Citibank, N.A. (the “Initial Lender”) under a margin loan agreement, dated as of November 13, 2009 (the “Citi Loan Agreement”), among JJ Media, the Lender, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Citibank, N.A., as collateral agent (the “Citi Collateral Agent”), of which US$138,000,000 was drawn down, and through JJ Media’s personal funds. On December 9, 2009, pursuant to an agreement among JJ Media, the Initial Lender, and Nomura Securities International, Inc. (“Nomura”), the Initial Lender agreed to reduce its lending commitment by US$42,600,000 and Nomura agreed to take up that portion of the commitment (the “Nomura Loan”). Nomura’s US$42,600,000 commitment is set forth in a separate margin loan agreement, dated as of December 9, 2009 (the “Nomura Loan Agreement”, and together with the Citi Loan Agreement, the “Loan Agreements”), among JJ Media and Nomura, as lender (the “Nomura Lender”), administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Nomura Collateral Agent”).
     Pursuant to a security agreement, dated as of November 19, 2009 (the “Citi Security Agreement”), between JJ Media and the Citi Collateral Agent, JJ Media pledged and granted a security interest in 141,086,135 Focus Media ordinary shares in the form of ADSs to the Citi Collateral Agent to secure its obligation under the Citi Loan Agreement. Pursuant to a personal guarantee, dated as of November 19, 2009 (the “Citi Personal Guarantee”), Mr. Jiang, as guarantor, agreed to guarantee the payment of all amounts, and the performance of all of JJ Media’s obligations, under the Citi Loan Agreement and the other loan documents. In addition, JJ Media issued a note, dated as of November 19, 2009 (the “Citi Note”), promising to pay to the Initial Lender on the maturity date the principal sum of the Citi Loan or, if less, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Loan made by the Lender under the Loan Agreement. On December 9, 2009, in connection with the assumption by Nomura of US$42,600,000 of the Citi Loan (of which 41,400,000 had been drawn down), JJ Media entered into an additional set of documents with Nomura, including a security agreement, personal guarantee and note, substantially similar to those described above with regard to the US$42,600,000 portion of the loan and 42,325,835 Focus Media ordinary shares in the form of ADSs portion of the collateral that are the subject of the Nomura Loan Agreement.

 


Table of Contents

     In order to perfect the security interest of the Citi Collateral Agent, JJ Media entered into a control agreement, dated as of November 19, 2009 (the “Citi Control Agreement”), with the Citi Collateral Agent and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”), placing 13,217,227 Unrestricted ADSs (representing 66,086,135 Focus Media ordinary shares), issued by Citibank N.A., as depositary, into the account of CGMI as collateral under the Citi Loan and having CGMI hold 15,000,000 Restricted ADS (representing 75,000,000 Focus Media ordinary shares), issued by Citibank N.A., as depositary, for the Citi Collateral Agent as collateral under the Citi Loan. On December 9, 2009, JJ Media entered into a substantially similar control agreement with Nomura, placing 3,965,167 of the Unrestricted ADSs (representing 19,825,835 Focus Media ordinary shares) into the account of Nomura as collateral agent under the Nomura Loan and having Nomura hold 4,500,000 of the Restricted ADSs (representing 22,500,000 Focus Media ordinary shares) as collateral under the Nomura Loan.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, LIBOR for any Interest Period (or other period) of a length for which rates do not appear on Telerate Page 3750 shall be determined by the Administrative Agent through the use of straight line interpolation by reference to two LIBOR rates appearing on Telerate Page 3750, one of which shall be the rate for the period of time next shorter than the length of the Interest Period (or other period) and the other of which shall be the rate for the period of time next longer than the length of the Interest Period (or other period).

          (b) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, the Loans, each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans, and each payment of interest on the Loans, shall be allocated among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Ratable Shares. The Administrative Agent agrees to forward to the Lenders such principal, interest and other payments on the same Business Day as such amounts are received, collected or applied by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower, unless the Administrative Agent receives such amounts after 11:00 a.m. in which case such payments shall be forwarded by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on the next Business Day.
          (c) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the applicable LIBOR, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

17

          (e) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate a Lender to obtain the funds for its Ratable Share of a Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its Ratable Share of any Loan in any particular place or manner.
     2.09. Sharing of Payments, Etc. Each Lender agrees that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any portion of the Loans owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise (including pursuant to a Debtor Relief Law) in excess of its Ratable Share of the amounts owed to it hereunder, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and purchase from the other Lenders a participation in their portion of the Loans, in such amounts and with such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable in order that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable portion as provided for in this Agreement. Each Lender further agrees that if a payment to a Lender (which is obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise) shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the applicable Lender or Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
          (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the affected Lender or Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender or Agent.
     3.02. Illegality. If a Lender determines (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make, maintain or fund any Loan, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Floating Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of a Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue a Loan shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay such Lender’s Ratable Share of each affected Loan, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its portion of such Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain its portion of such Loan.

19


 

     (iii) impose on a Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the portion of any Loan made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its portion of any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make its portion of any Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
          (b) Capital Requirements. If a Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or its holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, such Lender’s Commitment or the portion of the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.
          (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     3.04. Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of a Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
          (a) any payment or prepayment of any Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

20


 

          (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make available on any date specified herein its portion of such Loan) to prepay or borrow any Loan on any date or in the amount specified herein,

ARTICLE IX.
AGENTS
     9.01. Authorization and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and

33


 

under the other Loan Documents and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary or otherwise of any of such provisions.
     9.02. Agent Individually.
          (a) The Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
          (b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as an Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, an “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 9.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Furthermore, an Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Borrower and its Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower or its Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Borrower and its Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, an Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of an Agent’s Group. No Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that an Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by this Agreement to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders.
          (c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of an Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Borrower and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder). Each Lender agrees that no member of an Agent’s Group is or shall be required to

34


 

restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as an Agent being a member of such Agent’s Group, and that each member of an Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) the Loan Documents, (ii) the receipt by an Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including any duty of trust or confidence) owing by an Agent or any member of such Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict an Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Borrower or its Affiliates) or for its own account.
     9.03. Duties of the Agents; Exculpatory Provisions.
          (a) An Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and no Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein), provided that an Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable Law.
          (b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 or 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default or Event of Default unless and until the Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to such Agent describing such Default or Event of Default and such event or events.
          (c) No Agent nor any member of an Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or thereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to an Agent.

35


 

          (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall require an Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agents that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by an Agent or any of its Related Parties.
     9.04. Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of an Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
     9.05. Delegation of Duties. An Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent, and such Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties, provided, in each case that no such delegation to a sub-agent or a Related Party shall release an Agent from any of its obligations hereunder. Each such sub agent and the Related Parties of an Agent and each such sub agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 (as though such sub-agents were the “Agent” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
     9.06. Resignation of Agent. An Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation which effective date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and

36


 

obligations as an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as an Agent of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.
     9.07. Non-Reliance on the Agents and Other Lenders.
          (a) Each Lender confirms to the Agents, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making its portion of the Loans and (z) taking or not taking actions hereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making its portion of the Loans is suitable and appropriate for it.
          (b) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:
     (i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower;
     (ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;

37


 

     (iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;
     (iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any other information delivered by the Agents, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.
     9.08. Collateral Documents and Personal Guaranty. Each Lender hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Lenders with respect to the Personal Guaranty, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section 10.01, without further written consent or authorization from the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted hereby or thereby or to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.01) have otherwise consented.

A Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower, the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
          (d) Certain Pledges. A Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under a Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank.
     10.07. Confidentiality. The Lenders and the Agents agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to any of their Affiliates and to their and their Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such

43


 

Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to a Lender or Agent or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.
     For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower, other than any such information that is available to a Lender or Agent on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
     10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or any such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of a Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
     10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If a Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of such Lender’s portion of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.
     10.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties

44


 

relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the Lenders and the Agents and when each Lender and Agent shall have received a counterpart hereof that bears the signature of the Borrower. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement via telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
     10.11. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in any Loan Notice and in any other Loan Document or other document required to be delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or required to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lenders and the Agents, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or Agent or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender or Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of a Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Commitments are not terminated or the Loans or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
     10.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
     10.13. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
          (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
          (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE

45


 

JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

          (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
          (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
     10.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
     10.15. Judgment.
          (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due under any Loan Document in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at its principal office at 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
          (b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to a Lender or an Agent, as the case may be, under any Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such other currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or Agent, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or Agent against such loss, and if the amount of

46


 

Dollars so purchased exceeds such sum due to such Lender or Agent, such Lender or Agent agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.
     10.16. USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into Law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower agrees to provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by such Lender or Agent in order to assist such Lender or Agent in maintaining compliance with its procedures, the Patriot Act and any other applicable Laws.
     10.17. Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, this Agreement is a “securities contract” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, qualifying for protection under Section 555 of the Bankruptcy Code; any cash, securities or other property provided as Collateral constitute “margin payments” as defined in Section 741(5) of the Bankruptcy Code and all payments for, under or in connection with this Agreement constitute “settlement payments” as defined in Section 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Exhibit A hereto rather than credited to the Collateral Account), (iii) in the case of cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Collateral Agent (which shall initially be the Collateral Account), or (iv) by complying with such alternative delivery instructions as the Collateral Agent shall provide to the Pledgor in writing.

The Collateral Agent will be deemed to continue to hold such Collateral and to receive Distributions thereon, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent has exercised any rights under this Section 3(f) (including for purposes of determining the occurrence of a Collateral Shortfall and determining Distributions that would be remitted to the Pledgor).
     (g) From time to time, Pledgor may instruct the Collateral Agent to sell ADS constituting Collateral for the purpose of making a voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(a) of the Loan Agreement, and upon such instruction, the Collateral Agent shall sell such ADS in any commercially reasonably manner specified in such instruction. All sale proceeds received with respect to the sale of such ADS shall be deposited in the Collateral Account, and the Pledgor shall have the right to instruct the Collateral Agent to withdraw all sale proceeds from the Collateral Account for deposit into the Agent Account for the purposes of paying any prepayment amount due and payable by Pledgor pursuant to Section 2.03(a) of the Loan Agreement in connection with such voluntary prepayment.
     (h) If at any time at least six (6) months after the Closing Date, the Pledgor makes or causes to make a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 2.03(a) of the Loan Agreement, the Pledgor may request the release to it and the Collateral Agent shall release from the Collateral Account a number of ADS equal to (x) the aggregate principal amount being voluntarily prepaid on such date divided by $142,000,000 multiplied by (y) the number of ADS credited to the Collateral Account immediately prior to such voluntary prepayment; provided that the individual ADS to be released shall be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion and; provided further that the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to release such ADS if after giving effect to such

6


 

voluntary prepayment (i) a Default or Event of Default would occur or (ii) the LTV Ratio would be higher than the Release LTV Ratio.
     (i) At all times prior to the disposition of any ADS by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Pledgor shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to such ADS and the associated Shares for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any other instrument or agreement referred to herein; provided that the Pledgor agrees that the Pledgor will not vote the ADS or associated Shares in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any such other instrument or agreement or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of the ADS or associated Shares or the Collateral Agent’s interest therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no voting rights with respect to the ADS or associated Shares, except to the extent that the Collateral Agent buys any ADS in a sale or other disposition made pursuant to Section 6(b).
     (j) In the event the Collateral Agent exercises its rights pursuant to Section 10.06(b) of the Loan Agreement to document an assignment of all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement as a separate, parallel loan between the Pledgor and a new lender, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to transfer or cause to be transferred the number of ADS required to constitute collateral for such separate, parallel loan to the new lender in the manner as such new lender shall reasonably request.
     Section 4. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as of the date hereof:
     (a) Perfection. By virtue of the execution and delivery by the Pledgor of this Agreement, (i) with respect to the Collateral Account, when a Control Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) is executed by the Pledgor and the Custodian with respect to the Collateral Account and the Restricted ADS, the security interest created in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties will constitute a perfected, first priority security interest securing the Secured Obligations, and (ii) with respect to all other Collateral that may be perfected by filing a financing statement pursuant to the UCC, when a UCC financing statement in the form of Exhibit B hereto is filed with the Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, (naming Pledgor as the debtor and Collateral Agent as the secured party), Collateral Agent will have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in such Collateral as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations.
     (b) Ownership and Liens. The Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral (or in the case of (x) financial assets from time to time credited to the Collateral Account or (y) Restricted ADS registered in the name of the Custodian, the beneficial owner thereof) and no Lien exists or will exist upon such Collateral at any

7


 

time, except for the pledge and security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, created or provided for in this Agreement.
     (c) Status of ADS. The Pledgor’s ADS and the associated Shares are (i) to the Pledgor’s actual knowledge, duly authorized and validly existing and (ii) fully paid and non-assessable and none of such ADS or associated Shares are or will be subject to any legal or contractual restriction (other than, with respect to the Restricted ADS, the restrictions on transfer in the Subscription Agreement not otherwise waived by the Company under the Waiver Letter), or any restriction under the Deposit Agreement or the Restricted Letter Agreement, upon the pledge of the ADS hereunder, other than those arising under the Securities Act. The Pledgor’s “holding period”, determined in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, for the Shares associated with the ADS commenced at least one year prior to the date hereof and Pledgor has held the ADS associated with such Shares continuously. The pledge of the ADS hereunder constitutes a bona fide pledge with full recourse to the Pledgor. Assuming the Collateral Agent is not an “affiliate” of the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act by virtue of any relationship other than those arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, upon the Collateral Agent’s enforcement of its rights hereunder following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the transfer of the ADS pursuant to the terms hereof (other than the Restricted ADS prior to the passage of any applicable minimum holding period) will not require registration under the Securities Act or be subject to any other legal or contractual restriction, or any restriction under the Organization Documents of the Issuer, the Deposit Agreement or the Restricted Letter Agreement.
     (d) Status of Pledged Agreements. Each Pledged Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto, enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms. The Pledgor has provided to the Collateral Agent a true and correct copy of each Pledged Agreement.
     Section 5. Covenants. In furtherance of the pledge and grant of security interest pursuant to Section 2, until such time as all Secured Obligations have been paid in full, the Pledgor hereby agrees with Collateral Agent as follows:
     (a) The Pledgor agrees to take such other action as the Collateral Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, record and enforce the Lien created under this Agreement in the Collateral, including executing, delivering, filing and/or recording, in such locations and jurisdictions as Collateral Agent shall specify, any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary or desirable (in the judgment of the Collateral Agent) to create, preserve, perfect or validate the security interest granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights under this Agreement with respect to such security interest, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including executing and delivering or causing the execution and delivery of a Control Agreement with respect to the Collateral Account and causing any or all of the ADS to be transferred of record into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee.

8


 

     (b) The Pledgor agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Depositary to reissue the Restricted ADS constituting Collateral without any restrictive provisions relating thereto, including the notation and legend provided for in Section 4 of the Restricted Letter Agreement, at the times and under the circumstances set forth in the Issuer Consent Letter.
     (c) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor shall not, after the date hereof, file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent is not named as the sole secured party.
     (d) The Pledgor shall not close the Collateral Account or transfer any Collateral held therein or credited thereto without (i) obtaining the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and (ii) entering into such agreements as the Collateral Agent may in its sole discretion require to ensure the continued priority and perfection of its lien on such Collateral.
     (e) Without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor shall not (i) maintain any of the Pledgor’s books and records with respect to the Collateral at any office, or maintain the Pledgor’s place of business (or, if the Pledgor has more than one place of business, the Pledgor’s chief executive office) at any place other than at the address indicated in Schedule 10.02 of the Loan Agreement or (ii) change the Pledgor’s name, or the name under which the Pledgor does business, or the form or jurisdiction of the Pledgor’s organization from the name, form and jurisdiction set forth on the first page of this Agreement.
     Section 6. Remedies.
     (a) In addition to the rights and remedies specified herein (but subject to the limitations set forth below in this Section 6), the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a “secured party” under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies under this Agreement may be asserted.
     (b) Subject to the limitations set forth below in this Section 6, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to do any or all of the following (to the fullest extent permitted under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any right or remedy under this Agreement may be asserted):
     (i) Deliver or cause to be delivered from the Collateral Account to itself or to any other Person, any property including any ADS;
     (ii) Reregister or cause to be reregistered any Restricted ADS into its name or the name of any other Person;

9


 

     (iii) Demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, in its own name, in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise;
     (iv) Enforce any rights that the pledgor may have under the Pledged Agreements; and
     (v) Sell, lease, assign, hedge or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or places and at such time or times as the Collateral Agent deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as it deems advisable, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by applicable Law and cannot be waived), and the Collateral Agent may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by Law, at one or more private sales) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Pledgor, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.
     (c) The Pledgor and the Collateral Agent agree that (x) the Collateral Agent shall not be entitled to exercise its rights or remedies hereunder in a manner that would cause it (or any Affiliate of it) to become at any one time the beneficial owner of ADS representing more than 9.9% of the ordinary shares of the Issuer then outstanding, (y) the Collateral Agent will not knowingly sell or otherwise dispose of any ADS in a manner that would result in any Person (or any group of affiliated Persons) becoming the beneficial owner of ADS representing more than 9.9% of the ordinary shares of the Issuer then outstanding and (z) the Collateral Agent will not sell or otherwise dispose of, in any single transaction, to one or more purchasers, ADS representing an amount of Shares in excess of 9.9% of the ordinary shares of the Issuer then outstanding. The Pledgor hereby (i) acknowledges that selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral in accordance with the restrictions set forth in this Section 6(c) may result in prices and terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those that could be obtained by selling or otherwise disposing of the ADS in a single transaction to a single purchaser and (ii) agrees and acknowledges that no method of sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be deemed commercially unreasonable because of any action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent to comply with such restrictions.
     (d) The Pledgor further recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws, the Collateral Agent

10


 

may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer or issuer thereof to register it for public sale.
     (e) The Pledgor agrees and acknowledges that the ADS other than Restricted ADS are customarily sold on the NASDAQ Global Market, which is a recognized market, within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the UCC.
     (f) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 6, the Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will, at its own expense:
     (i) execute and deliver, or cause the officers and directors of the Issuer to execute and deliver, to any Person or Governmental Authority as the Collateral Agent may choose, any and all documents and writings which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, may be necessary or appropriate for approval, or be required by, any Governmental Authority located in any city, county, state or country where the Pledgor or the Issuer engage in business, in order to transfer or to more effectively transfer the Collateral or otherwise enforce the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and
     (ii) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable Law.
     (g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash held by the Collateral Agent following an Event of Default, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent:
     (i) First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith;
     (ii) Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations; and

11


 

     (iii) Finally, to the payment to the Pledgor or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.
     As used in this Section 6(g), “proceeds” of Collateral means cash, securities and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, Collateral, including any thereof received under any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt of the Pledgor or any issuer of any of the Collateral.
     (h) The Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 6 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 6 may be specifically enforced.
     (i) THE PLEDGOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (i) ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR OTHER RIGHT TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE TIME THE COLLATERAL AGENT DISPOSES OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE COLLATERAL AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 6; (ii) ALL RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION, STAY, OR APPRAISAL THAT IT NOW HAS OR MAY AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE HAVE UNDER ANY LAW NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ENACTED; (iii) ANY REQUIREMENT OF NOTICE, DEMAND, OR ADVERTISEMENT FOR SALE; AND (iv) ANY RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO PROCEED AGAINST OR EXHAUST ANY SECURITY HELD FROM THE PLEDGOR OR TO PURSUE ANY OTHER REMEDY IN THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S POWER WHATSOEVER.
     (j) If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 6 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
     (k) Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Collateral Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 6 and taking any action and executing any instruments that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Agent shall be entitled under this Section 6 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of the Pledgor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
     Section 7. Miscellaneous.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

EACH OF THE PLEDGOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IN EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL: (A) THE COLLATERAL AGENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO MARSHAL ANY COLLATERAL; (B) THE COLLATERAL AGENT MAY, IN ITS ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, REALIZE UPON THE COLLATERAL IN ANY ORDER AND IN ANY MANNER IT SO ELECTS; AND (C) MAY, IN ITS ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, APPLY THE PROCEEDS OF ANY OR ALL OF THE COLLATERAL TO THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS IN ANY ORDER AND IN ANY MANNER IT SO ELECTS.

     (j) Termination. When all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Collateral Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the Pledgor. The Collateral Agent shall also, at the expense of the Pledgor, execute and deliver to the Pledgor upon such termination such UCC termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Pledgor to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral.

     Control Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2009, between CITIBANK, N.A., as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity as collateral agent, the “Collateral Agent”); JJ Media Investment Holding Limited, an international business company organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Pledgor”); and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”).
PREAMBLE:
     1. CGMI is the registered owner of 15,000,000 American Depositary Shares issued by Citibank N.A. in its capacity as Depositary under the Depositary Agreement (the “Restricted ADS”).
     2. CGMI, in its capacity as securities intermediary (“Intermediary”) has established a securities account, number 768-66191-1-0-473, in the name of Pledgor (the “Account”).
     3. Pledgor has granted Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, a security interest in certain collateral, including the Account and the Restricted ADS, pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2009, as may from time to time be amended, modified or restated, between Pledgor and Collateral Agent (the “Security Agreement”).
     4. Collateral Agent, Pledgor and Intermediary are entering into this Agreement to perfect the security interest of Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the Account.
TERMS:
     Section 1. The Account. All parties agree that the Account is a “securities account” within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York (the “UCC”) and that all property held by Intermediary in the Account will be treated as financial assets under the UCC. Intermediary has not agreed and will not agree with any third party to comply with entitlement orders or other directions concerning the Account originated by such third party without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent and Pledgor.
     Section 2. Subordination of Lien. Intermediary hereby agrees and acknowledges that any security interest or lien in favor of Intermediary on the Account or any property credited to the Account as a result of any indebtedness of Pledgor to Intermediary (including, without limitation, any fees or commissions in respect of the Account) shall be subject and subordinate to the security interest in favor of Collateral Agent.
     Section 3. Control. (a) Intermediary will comply with entitlement orders originated by Collateral Agent concerning the Account and any financial assets from time to time credited

 


 

thereto without further consent by Pledgor. Intermediary will not act on any entitlement order or other instruction of Pledgor without the written consent of Collateral Agent (provided that Pledgor shall retain its right to exercise any voting rights with respect to any securities held in or credited to the Account without such consent).
     (b) CGMI acknowledges that it holds the Restricted ADS for Collateral Agent, as secured party. CGMI will comply only with instructions originated by Collateral Agent concerning the Restricted ADS, including instructions to reregister or cause the reregistration of Restricted ADS in such a manner as to permit them to be credited to the Account and held pursuant to the terms hereof. CGMI will not act on any instruction of Pledgor without the written consent of Collateral Agent (provided that until Collateral Agent instructs CGMI otherwise, CGMI is authorized to act on the instructions of Pledgor in connection with the exercise of any voting rights with respect to the Restricted ADS without Collateral Agent’s consent).
     Section 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Intermediary. CGMI represents and warrants to and agrees with Collateral Agent as follows:
(i) Unless otherwise instructed by Collateral Agent, the Restricted ADS will be maintained in the manner set forth herein until termination of this Agreement.
(ii) The Account will be maintained in the manner set forth herein until termination of this Agreement, and Intermediary will not change the name or account number of the Account without the prior consent of Collateral Agent.
(iii) This Agreement has been duly authorized by and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of CGMI, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
(iv) CGMI has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, (x) any other agreement pursuant to which it agrees to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions with respect to the Account or the Restricted ADS, or (y) any other agreement purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions originated by Collateral Agent as set forth in Section 3 hereof.
(v) CGMI has no knowledge of any claim to or interest in the Account or the Restricted ADS, other than the interests therein of Collateral Agent and Pledgor. If any person or entity asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Account or the Restricted ADS, CGMI will use its best efforts to notify Collateral Agent and Pledgor promptly thereof.
(vi) CGMI will use its best efforts to deliver promptly to Collateral Agent copies of all statements, confirmations and other communications by Intermediary relating to the Account or the Restricted ADS.
     Section 5. Indemnification of CGMI. Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CGMI, its directors, officers, agents and employees against any and all claims, causes

2


 

of action, liabilities, lawsuits, demands and damages, including without limitation, any and all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, in any way related to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or not taken pursuant hereto, except to the extent caused by CGMI’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     Section 6. Customer Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement between CGMI and Pledgor, the terms of this Agreement will prevail; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not alter or affect any mandatory arbitration provision currently in effect between CGMI and Pledgor pursuant to a separate agreement.
     Section 7. Termination. This Agreement shall continue in effect until Collateral Agent has notified CGMI in writing that this Agreement, or its security interest in the Account and the Restricted ADS, is terminated. Upon receipt of such notice the obligations of CGMI hereunder with respect to the operation and maintenance of the Account and the Restricted ADS after the receipt of such notice shall terminate, Collateral Agent shall have no further right to originate entitlement orders concerning the Account or instructions concerning the Restricted ADS.
     Section 8. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties hereto, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
     Section 9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
     Section 10. Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate successors or heirs and personal representatives. This Agreement may be assigned by Collateral Agent to any successor of Collateral Agent under the Margin Loan Agreement entered into by Pledgor and the Secured Parties on November 19, 2009, provided that written notice thereof is given by Collateral Agent to Intermediary.
     Section 11. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any notice, order, instruction, request or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have been properly given when delivered in person, or when sent by telecopy or other electronic means and electronic confirmation of error-free receipt is received or upon receipt of notice sent by certified or registered United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the party at the address set forth next to such party’s name at the heading of this Agreement. Any party may change its address for notices in the manner set forth above.
     Section 12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any party hereto may

3


 

execute this Agreement by signing and delivering one or more counterparts. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
     Section 13. Choice of Law. This Agreement (including, without limitation, the establishment and maintenance of the account and all rights and obligations with respect thereto) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. The parties agree that the securities intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC) with respect to the Account and the transactions contemplated hereby is the State of New York.

     2.02. Borrowing of the Loans.
          (a) Each borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent as provided herein. The aggregate principal amount requested to be borrowed at any one time must be greater than or equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Unless waived by the Lenders, such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. one Business Day, in the case of the initial notice, or three Business Days, in the case of any other notice, prior to the requested date of the borrowing. Each such notice shall be in the form of a Loan Notice which, among other things, shall specify (i) the requested date of the borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (ii) the principal amount of the Loan to be borrowed.
          (b) Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if a borrowing is the initial Loan, Section 4.01), the Lenders shall make the proceeds of each Loan available to the Administrative Agent who shall either (i) credit the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such proceeds or (ii) transfer by wire transfer such proceeds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.
          (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for a Loan upon determination of such interest rate.
     2.03. Prepayments.
          (a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay any Loan in whole or in part in an amount equal to the sum of (a) the principal amount of the Loan being prepaid, (b) the applicable Make-Whole Amount and (c) the amount determined in accordance with Section 2.03(c); provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment, (ii) any prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 or, if less, the entire aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, (iii) no Default or Event of Default would occur after giving effect to such voluntary prepayment and (iv) the LTV Ratio, immediately after giving effect to such prepayment, would be equal to or less than [***]%. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and

15


 

shall specify the date of such prepayment, the amount of principal being prepaid and the applicable prepayment amount. The Borrower shall make such prepayment (which prepayment may be made, in whole or in part, by the Borrower instructing the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 3(g) of the Security Agreement to deposit sale proceeds with respect to the Pledged ADS sold for the purpose of making such prepayment on deposit in the Collateral Account into the Agent Account on the Borrower’s behalf) and the related prepayment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
          (b) Not later than the close of business on the second Hong Kong Business Day immediately after receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of a Collateral Shortfall, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans then outstanding in an amount sufficient to cause the LTV Ratio, immediately after giving effect to such prepayment, to be equal to or less than [***]%.
          (c) Each prepayment pursuant this Section 2.03 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04.
     2.04. Repayment of the Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent on the Maturity Date for the ratable account of the Lenders the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such date together with all accrued interest thereon.
     2.05. Interest.
          (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period from the first day of such period to the last day thereof at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Floating Rate for such Interest Period.
          (b) (i) If any amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Floating Rate applicable to such amount and (ii) 2.0% for each day until such amount and any interest thereon is paid in full.
     (ii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
          (c) Except as expressly provided herein, accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
     2.06. Computations. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on a Loan for the day on which such Loan is

16


 

made, and shall not accrue on such Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.08(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder and any other calculation or determination made hereunder by an Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Any Interest Period stated to end on a day numerically corresponding to a given day in a specified month thereafter shall, if there is no corresponding day, end on the last Business Day of such month.
     2.07. Evidence of Debt.
          (a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations to such Lender, including the portion of each Loan made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Obligations owed to such Lender in respect of the Loans; provided further that, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.
          (b) Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and each Lender’s Ratable Share of each Loan from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register each Loan, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount thereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Obligations.
          (c) Notes. With respect to each Loan, upon the request of a Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a Note (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which shall evidence such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Loan in addition to the foregoing accounts or records. A Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Ratable Share of the related Loan and payments with respect thereto.
     2.08. Payments Generally.
          (a) All payments to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Agent Account in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue.

17


 

          (b) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, the Loans, each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans, and each payment of interest on the Loans, shall be allocated among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Ratable Shares. The Administrative Agent agrees to forward to the Lenders such principal, interest and other payments on the same Business Day as such amounts are received, collected or applied by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower, unless the Administrative Agent receives such amounts after 11:00 a.m. in which case such payments shall be forwarded by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on the next Business Day.
          (c) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the applicable LIBOR, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.
          (d) If any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest.
          (e) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate a Lender to obtain the funds for its Ratable Share of a Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its Ratable Share of any Loan in any particular place or manner.
     2.09. Sharing of Payments, Etc. Each Lender agrees that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any portion of the Loans owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise (including pursuant to a Debtor Relief Law) in excess of its Ratable Share of the amounts owed to it hereunder, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and purchase from the other Lenders a participation in their portion of the Loans, in such amounts and with such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable in order that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable portion as provided for in this Agreement. Each Lender further agrees that if a payment to a Lender (which is obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise) shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
     3.01. Taxes.
          (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable to any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.
          (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.
          (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the applicable Lender or Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
          (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the affected Lender or Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender or Agent.
     3.02. Illegality. If a Lender determines (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make, maintain or fund any Loan, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Floating Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of a Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue a Loan shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay such Lender’s Ratable Share of each affected Loan,

19


 

either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its portion of such Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain its portion of such Loan. Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.
     3.03. Increased Costs; Reserves.
          (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, a Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Floating Rate);
     (ii) subject a Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or
     (iii) impose on a Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the portion of any Loan made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its portion of any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make its portion of any Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
          (b) Capital Requirements. If a Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or its holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, such Lender’s Commitment or the portion of the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.
          (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

20


 

          (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of a Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
     3.04. Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of a Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
          (a) any payment or prepayment of any Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or
          (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make available on any date specified herein its portion of such Loan) to prepay or borrow any Loan on any date or in the amount specified herein,
including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain a Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to a Lender under this Section 3.04, such Lender shall be deemed to have funded its Ratable Share of any Loan at the Floating Rate for such portion of such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such portion of such Loan was in fact so funded.
     3.05. Mitigation Obligations. If a Lender requests compensation under Section 3.03, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to a Lender, an Agent or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender or Agent pursuant to Section 3.01, or if a Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Loans, or its portion thereof, hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates and to take any other actions reasonable in the sole judgment of such Lender or Agent, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender or Agent, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.03, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or Agent to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or

21


 

Agent. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by a Lender or Agent in connection with any such designation, assignment or action.
     3.06. Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all Obligations under the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE IV.

AGENTS
     9.01. Authorization and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Nomura to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary or otherwise of any of such provisions.
     9.02. Agent Individually.

34


 

          (a) The Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
          (b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as an Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, an “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 9.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Furthermore, an Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Borrower and its Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower or its Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Borrower and its Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, an Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of an Agent’s Group. No Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that an Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by this Agreement to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders.
          (c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of an Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Borrower and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder). Each Lender agrees that no member of an Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as an Agent being a member of such Agent’s Group, and that each member of an Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) the Loan Documents, (ii) the receipt by an Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including any duty of trust or

35


 

confidence) owing by an Agent or any member of such Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict an Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Borrower or its Affiliates) or for its own account.
     9.03. Duties of the Agents; Exculpatory Provisions.
          (a) An Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and no Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein), provided that an Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable Law.
          (b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 or 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default or Event of Default unless and until the Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to such Agent describing such Default or Event of Default and such event or events.
          (c) No Agent nor any member of an Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or thereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to an Agent.
          (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall require an Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agents that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by an Agent or any of its Related Parties.

36


 

     9.04. Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of an Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
     9.05. Delegation of Duties. An Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent, and such Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties, provided, in each case that no such delegation to a sub-agent or a Related Party shall release an Agent from any of its obligations hereunder. Each such sub agent and the Related Parties of an Agent and each such sub agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 (as though such sub-agents were the “Agent” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
     9.06. Resignation of Agent. An Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation which effective date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Agent

37

The Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10.13(d).
     10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

          (c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
          (d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable by the Borrower on demand therefor.
          (e) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all Obligations under the Loan Documents.
     10.05. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to an Agent or the Lenders (or an Agent on behalf of the Lenders), or a Lender or an Agent exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any

42


 

part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Lender or Agent in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.
     10.06. Successors and Assigns.
          (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders and a Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (d) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (c) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees and Affiliates of the Lenders and the Agents) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
          (b) Assignments by a Lender. A Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the portion of the Loans at the time owing to it) pursuant to documentation acceptable to such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the assignee; provided that each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.06(b) shall be either (i) in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,500,000 or (ii) an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder. From and after the effective date specified in such documentation, such Eligible Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender, have the rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement, and such Lender shall, to the extent of the interest so assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment of all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.04, 3.06, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).

43


 

or any of its Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower, the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
          (d) Certain Pledges. A Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under a Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank.
     10.07. Confidentiality. The Lenders and the Agents agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to any of their Affiliates and to their and their Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to a Lender or Agent or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.
     For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower, other than any such information that is available to a Lender or Agent on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
     10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general

44


 

or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or any such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of a Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
     10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If a Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of such Lender’s portion of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.
     10.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the Lenders and the Agents and when each Lender and Agent shall have received a counterpart hereof that bears the signature of the Borrower. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement via telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
     10.11. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in any Loan Notice and in any other Loan Document or other document required to be delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or required to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lenders and the Agents, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or Agent or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender or Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at

45


 

the time of a Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Commitments are not terminated or the Loans or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
     10.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
     10.13. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
          (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
          (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY LENDER OR AGENT MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
          (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT

46


 

PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
          (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
     10.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
     10.15. Judgment.
          (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due under any Loan Document in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at its principal office at 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
          (b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to a Lender or an Agent, as the case may be, under any Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such other currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or Agent, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or Agent against such loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds such sum due to such Lender or Agent, such Lender or Agent agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.
     10.16. USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into Law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower agrees to provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by such Lender or Agent in order to assist such Lender or Agent in maintaining compliance with its procedures, the Patriot Act and any other applicable Laws.

47

     (e) Upon demand, the Pledgor shall pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any taxes that the Collateral Agent may be required to pay by reason of the security interest granted herein or to free any Collateral from any Lien thereon.

The Collateral Agent will be deemed to continue to hold such Collateral and to receive Distributions thereon, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent has exercised any rights under this Section 3(f) (including for purposes of determining the occurrence of a Collateral Shortfall and determining Distributions that would be remitted to the Pledgor).
     (g) From time to time, Pledgor may instruct the Collateral Agent to sell ADS constituting Collateral for the purpose of making a voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(a) of the Loan Agreement, and upon such instruction, the Collateral Agent shall sell such ADS in any commercially reasonably manner specified in such instruction.

     (h) If at any time at least six (6) months after the Closing Date, the Pledgor makes or causes to make a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 2.03(a) of the Loan Agreement, the Pledgor may request the release to it and the Collateral Agent shall release from the Collateral Account a number of ADS equal to (x) the aggregate principal amount being voluntarily prepaid on such date divided by $42,600,000 multiplied by (y) the number of ADS credited to the Collateral Account immediately prior to such voluntary prepayment; provided that the individual ADS to be released shall be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion and; provided further that the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to release such ADS if after giving effect to such voluntary prepayment (i) a Default or Event of Default would occur or (ii) the LTV Ratio would be higher than the Release LTV Ratio.

     (i) At all times prior to the disposition of any ADS by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Pledgor shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to such ADS and the associated Shares for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any other instrument or agreement referred to herein; provided that the Pledgor agrees that the Pledgor will not vote the ADS or associated Shares in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any such other instrument or agreement or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of the ADS or associated Shares or the Collateral Agent’s interest therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no voting rights with respect to the ADS or associated Shares, except to the extent that the Collateral Agent buys any ADS in a sale or other disposition made pursuant to Section 6(b).
     Section 4. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as of the date hereof:
     (a) Perfection. By virtue of the execution and delivery by the Pledgor of this Agreement, (i) with respect to the Collateral Account, when a Control Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) is executed by the Pledgor and the Custodian with respect to the Collateral Account, the security interest created in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties will constitute a perfected, first priority security interest securing the Secured Obligations, and (ii) with respect to all other Collateral that may be perfected by filing a financing statement pursuant to the UCC, when a UCC financing statement in the form of Exhibit B hereto is filed with the Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, (naming Pledgor as the debtor and Collateral Agent as the secured party), Collateral Agent will have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in such Collateral as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations.
     (b) Ownership and Liens. The Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral (or in the case of financial assets from time to time credited to the Collateral Account the beneficial owner thereof) and no Lien exists or will exist upon such Collateral at any time, except for the pledge and security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, created or provided for in this Agreement.
     (c) Status of ADS. The Pledgor’s ADS and the associated Shares are (i) to the Pledgor’s actual knowledge, duly authorized and validly existing and (ii) fully paid and non-assessable and none of such ADS or associated Shares are or will be subject to any legal or contractual restriction (other than, with respect to the Restricted ADS, the restrictions on transfer in the Subscription Agreement not otherwise waived by the Company under the Waiver Letter), or any restriction under the Deposit Agreement or the Restricted Letter Agreement, upon the pledge of the ADS hereunder, other than those arising under the Securities Act. The Pledgor’s “holding period,” determined in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, for the Shares associated with the

7


 

ADS commenced at least one year prior to the date hereof and Pledgor has held the ADS associated with such Shares continuously. The pledge of the ADS hereunder constitutes a bona fide pledge with full recourse to the Pledgor. Assuming the Collateral Agent is not an “affiliate” of the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act by virtue of any relationship other than those arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, upon the Collateral Agent’s enforcement of its rights hereunder following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the transfer of the ADS pursuant to the terms hereof (other than the Restricted ADS prior to the passage of any applicable minimum holding period) will not require registration under the Securities Act or be subject to any other legal or contractual restriction, or any restriction under the Organization Documents of the Issuer, the Deposit Agreement or the Restricted Letter Agreement.
     (d) Status of Pledged Agreements. Each Pledged Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto, enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms. The Pledgor has provided to the Collateral Agent a true and correct copy of each Pledged Agreement.
     Section 5. Covenants. In furtherance of the pledge and grant of security interest pursuant to Section 2, until such time as all Secured Obligations have been paid in full, the Pledgor hereby agrees with Collateral Agent as follows:
     (a) The Pledgor agrees to take such other action as the Collateral Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, record and enforce the Lien created under this Agreement in the Collateral, including executing, delivering, filing and/or recording, in such locations and jurisdictions as Collateral Agent shall specify, any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary or desirable (in the judgment of the Collateral Agent) to create, preserve, perfect or validate the security interest granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights under this Agreement with respect to such security interest, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including executing and delivering or causing the execution and delivery of a Control Agreement with respect to the Collateral Account and causing any or all of the ADS to be transferred of record into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee.
     (b) The Pledgor agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Depositary to reissue the Restricted ADS constituting Collateral without any restrictive provisions relating thereto, including the notation and legend provided for in Section 4 of the Restricted Letter Agreement, at the times and under the circumstances set forth in the Issuer Consent Letter.
     (c) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor shall not, after the date hereof, file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent is not named as the sole secured party.

8


 

     (d) The Pledgor shall not close the Collateral Account or transfer any Collateral held therein or credited thereto without (i) obtaining the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and (ii) entering into such agreements as the Collateral Agent may in its sole discretion require to ensure the continued priority and perfection of its lien on such Collateral.
     (e) Without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor shall not (i) maintain any of the Pledgor’s books and records with respect to the Collateral at any office, or maintain the Pledgor’s place of business (or, if the Pledgor has more than one place of business, the Pledgor’s chief executive office) at any place other than at the address indicated in Schedule 10.02 of the Loan Agreement or (ii) change the Pledgor’s name, or the name under which the Pledgor does business, or the form or jurisdiction of the Pledgor’s organization from the name, form and jurisdiction set forth on the first page of this Agreement.
     Section 6. Remedies.
     (a) In addition to the rights and remedies specified herein (but subject to the limitations set forth below in this Section 6), the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a “secured party” under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies under this Agreement may be asserted.
     (b) Subject to the limitations set forth below in this Section 6, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to do any or all of the following (to the fullest extent permitted under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any right or remedy under this Agreement may be asserted):
     (i) Deliver or cause to be delivered from the Collateral Account to itself or to any other Person, any property including any ADS;
     (ii) Reregister or cause to be reregistered any Restricted ADS into its name or the name of any other Person;
     (iii) Demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, in its own name, in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise;
     (iv) Enforce any rights that the pledgor may have under the Pledged Agreements; and
     (v) Sell, lease, assign, hedge or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or places and at such time or times as the Collateral Agent deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without

9


 

thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as it deems advisable, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by applicable Law and cannot be waived), and the Collateral Agent may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by Law, at one or more private sales) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Pledgor, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.
     (c) The Pledgor and the Collateral Agent agree that (x) the Collateral Agent shall not be entitled to exercise its rights or remedies hereunder in a manner that would cause it (or any Affiliate of it) to become at any one time the beneficial owner of ADS representing more than 9.9% of the ordinary shares of the Issuer then outstanding, (y) the Collateral Agent will not knowingly sell or otherwise dispose of any ADS in a manner that would result in any Person (or any group of affiliated Persons) becoming the beneficial owner of ADS representing more than 9.9% of the ordinary shares of the Issuer then outstanding and (z) the Collateral Agent will not sell or otherwise dispose of, in any single transaction, to one or more purchasers, ADS representing an amount of Shares in excess of 9.9% of the ordinary shares of the Issuer then outstanding. The Pledgor hereby (i) acknowledges that selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral in accordance with the restrictions set forth in this Section 6(c) may result in prices and terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those that could be obtained by selling or otherwise disposing of the ADS in a single transaction to a single purchaser and (ii) agrees and acknowledges that no method of sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be deemed commercially unreasonable because of any action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent to comply with such restrictions.
     (d) The Pledgor further recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer or issuer thereof to register it for public sale.

10


 

     (e) The Pledgor agrees and acknowledges that the ADS other than Restricted ADS are customarily sold on the NASDAQ Global Market, which is a recognized market, within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the UCC.
     (f) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 6, the Pledgor agrees that, upon request of the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will, at its own expense:
     (i) execute and deliver, or cause the officers and directors of the Issuer to execute and deliver, to any Person or Governmental Authority as the Collateral Agent may choose, any and all documents and writings which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, may be necessary or appropriate for approval, or be required by, any Governmental Authority located in any city, county, state or country where the Pledgor or the Issuer engage in business, in order to transfer or to more effectively transfer the Collateral or otherwise enforce the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and
     (ii) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable Law.
     (g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash held by the Collateral Agent following an Event of Default, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent:
     (i) First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith;
     (ii) Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations; and
     (iii) Finally, to the payment to the Pledgor or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.
     As used in this Section 6(g), “proceeds” of Collateral means cash, securities and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, Collateral, including any thereof received under any reorganization, liquidation or adjustment of debt of the Pledgor or any issuer of any of the Collateral.
     (h) The Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 6 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 6 may be specifically enforced.

11


 

     (i) THE PLEDGOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (i) ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR OTHER RIGHT TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE TIME THE COLLATERAL AGENT DISPOSES OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE COLLATERAL AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 6; (ii) ALL RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION, STAY, OR APPRAISAL THAT IT NOW HAS OR MAY AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE HAVE UNDER ANY LAW NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ENACTED; (iii) ANY REQUIREMENT OF NOTICE, DEMAND, OR ADVERTISEMENT FOR SALE; AND (iv) ANY RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO PROCEED AGAINST OR EXHAUST ANY SECURITY HELD FROM THE PLEDGOR OR TO PURSUE ANY OTHER REMEDY IN THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S POWER WHATSOEVER.
     (j) If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 6 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
     (k) Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Collateral Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 6 and taking any action and executing any instruments that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Agent shall be entitled under this Section 6 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of the Pledgor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

  For any Transaction, as specified in the related Confirmation
 
   
Date:
  September 7, 2010
Dear Sir(s):
     The purpose of this communication (this “Master Confirmation”) is to set forth certain terms and conditions of one or more transactions entered into on the Trade Date specified below (each, a “Transaction”) between Goldman Sachs International (“GSI”) and JJ Media Investment Holding Limited (“Counterparty”). This Master Confirmation, taken alone, is neither a commitment by either party to enter into any Transaction nor evidence of a Transaction. The additional terms of any particular Transaction shall be set forth in a Confirmation in the form of Schedule A hereto (the “Confirmation”), which shall reference this Master Confirmation and supplement, form a part of, and be subject to this Master Confirmation. This Master Confirmation and each Confirmation together shall constitute a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.
1. This Master Confirmation is subject to, and incorporates, the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “2006 Definitions”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions” and, together with the 2006 Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”). In the event of any inconsistency between the 2006 Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern. In the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Master Confirmation, this Master Confirmation will govern. For purposes of the Equity Definitions, each Transaction will be deemed to be a Share Option Transaction.
2. This Master Confirmation and each Confirmation supplement, form a part of, and are subject to an agreement in the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross Border) (the “Agreement”), as if GSI and Counterparty had executed the Agreement on the date of this Master Confirmation (but without any Schedule, except for (i) the election of Loss and Second Method, New York law (without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof) as the governing law and U.S. Dollars (“USD”) as the Termination Currency, (ii) the election that subparagraph (ii) of Section 2(c) will not apply to any Transaction, (iii) the replacement of the word “third” in the last line of Section 5(a)(i) with the word “first” and (iv) the provisions of Section 7 below). Each Transaction under this Master Confirmation and the “Transaction” under the Swap Agreement (as defined below) shall be deemed to be Transactions under the same Agreement and shall be deemed the only Transactions under the Agreement.

     All provisions contained in the Agreement are incorporated into and shall govern this Master Confirmation and each Confirmation except as expressly modified herein.

Expiration Date:
  For any Transaction, the scheduled Expiration Date provided in the related Confirmation (or, if such date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the next following Scheduled Trading Day that is not already an Expiration Date for another Component of such Transaction); provided that, if that date is a Disrupted Day, the Expiration Date for such Component shall be the first succeeding Scheduled Trading Day that is not a Disrupted Day and is not or is not deemed to be an Expiration Date in respect of any other Component of such Transaction; and provided, further that, if such Expiration Date has not occurred pursuant to the preceding proviso as of the Final Disruption Date, the Final Disruption Date shall be the Expiration Date for such Component (irrespective of whether such date is an Expiration Date in respect of

In respect of any Component:
   
 
   
Extraordinary Dividend:
  Any dividend or distribution on the Shares or the Underlying Shares other than any dividend or distribution of the type described in Section 11.2(e)(i) or Section 11.2(e)(ii)(A) of the Equity Definitions.

For the avoidance of doubt, any such adjustment may be made by the Calculation Agent either in favor of Counterparty or in favor of GSI, as applicable.

For the avoidance of doubt, any such adjustment will be made in favor of Counterparty to compensate it for the decrease in the Number of Options.
     (c) Disposition of Hedge Shares. The parties hereby agree that if, either party determines in its good faith and reasonable judgment, based on the advice of counsel, any Shares other than the Shares purchased by GSI pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Hedge Shares”) acquired by GSI for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transactions cannot be sold in the U.S. public market by GSI without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow GSI to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, cause Underlying Shares Issuer to make available to GSI an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and to cause Underlying Shares Issuer to (A) enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to GSI and Underlying Shares Issuer, substantially in the form of a customary underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering of similar size, (B) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities of similar size, (C) provide customary legal opinions (including a disclosure opinion) of nationally recognized outside counsel to Underlying Shares Issuer in a form customarily addressed to underwriters in registered underwritten offerings, containing customary assumptions and qualifications of such outside counsel, each as reasonably acceptable to GSI, (D) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form as those customarily provided to underwriters of registered offerings of equity securities of similar size and (E) afford GSI a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Underlying Shares Issuer customary in scope for underwriters of underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however that, if Counterparty elects clause (i) above but the items referred to therein are not completed in a timely manner, or if GSI, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section 5(c) shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow GSI to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, to cause Underlying Shares Issuer to enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities of similar size, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to GSI and Underyling Shares Issuer, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to GSI, due diligence rights (for GSI or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from GSI), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements of equity offerings of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to GSI (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments, in a commercially reasonable manner, to the terms of any Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate GSI for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from GSI at the Settlement Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by GSI. This Section 5(c) shall survive the termination, expiration or early unwind of any or all Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall Counterparty be obligated to make the election described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence.
     (d) No Restrictions on Transfer. The Shares transferred by Counterparty to GSI in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement are not subject to any restrictions on transfer whatsoever, other than those arising under the applicable securities laws.

As of the date of Counterparty’s most recent Schedule 13D filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Counterparty was the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 19.39% of the outstanding Underlying Shares. Other than any filings required by the letter dated March 30, 2010 from the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the application for confidential treatment with respect to the Schedule 13D filed by Counterparty on February 22, 1010, Counterparty (i) has, as of the date hereof, filed all reports required to be filed by it as of such date, and (ii) as of the applicable due date, will file such reports in connection with the Transactions, under Sections 13(d) and (g) of the Exchange Act. All such Schedule 13D filings are or will be, as the case may be, available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website (www.sec.gov).

     (a) Calculations on Early Termination and Set-Off. The parties agree that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to a party who is the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party (“X”), the other party (“Y”) will have the right (but not be obliged) without prior notice to X or any other person to set-off or apply any obligation of X owed to Y (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) against any obligation of Y owed to X (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation). Y will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Section 7(a). Any amounts (or the relevant portion of such amounts) subject to set-off may be converted by Y into the Termination Currency at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency. If any obligation is unascertained, Y may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 7(a) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 7(a) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).
     (b) Termination on Bankruptcy. The parties hereto intend for:
(i) Each Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(ii) A party’s right to liquidate each Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code).
(iii) Any cash, securities or other property provided as performance assurance, credit support or collateral with respect to each Transaction to constitute “transfers” made “by or to (or for the benefit of)” a “master netting agreement participant”, a “financial institution”, a “financial participant”, a “forward contract merchant” or a “swap participant” (each as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) within the meaning of Sections 546(e), 546(f), 546(g) and 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(iv) All payments for, under or in connection with each Transaction, all payments for the Shares and the transfer of such Shares to constitute “transfers” under a “swap agreement” and a “securities contract” defined in the Bankruptcy Code.
(v) All obligations under or in connection with each Transaction represent obligations in respect of “termination values”, “payment amounts” or “other transfer obligations” within the meaning of Section 362, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(vi) Each of the parties hereto to be a “swap participant” and “financial participant” within the meaning of Sections 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code.
     (c) Rule 10b5-1. The parties intend for each Transaction to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(A) under the Exchange Act and this Master Confirmation and each Confirmation to constitute a binding contract or instruction satisfying the requirements of 10b5-1(c) and to be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).
     (d) Calculations and Payment Date upon Early Termination. The parties acknowledge and agree that in calculating Loss pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement GSI may (but need not) determine losses without reference to actual losses incurred but based on expected losses assuming a commercially reasonable (including without limitation with regard to reasonable legal and regulatory guidelines) “risk bid”, “volume weighted”

17


 

valuations or “private placement” discounts used to determine loss to avoid awaiting the delay associated with closing out any hedge or related trading position in a commercially reasonable manner prior to or sooner following the designation of an Early Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, all amounts calculated as being due in respect of an Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) of the Agreement will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective.
     (e) Indemnification. Counterparty agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and hold harmless GSI, its affiliates and its assignees and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (GSI and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, relating to or arising out of any Transaction. Counterparty will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from GSI’s fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith in performing its obligations under such Transaction. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. Counterparty also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability to Counterparty or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Counterparty in connection with or as a result of any matter referred to in this Agreement except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by Counterparty result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 7(e) shall survive the completion of the Transactions and any assignment and/or delegation of any Transaction made pursuant to the Agreement, this Master Confirmation and/or any Confirmation shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of GSI.
     (f) Transfer and Assignment. Either party may transfer or assign any of its rights or obligations under any Transaction with the prior written consent of the non-transferring party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that GSI may transfer or assign without any consent of Counterparty its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its affiliates whose obligations hereunder are guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. if (i) an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment and (ii) as a result of such transfer and assignment, Counterparty will not be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that the Counterparty would have been required to pay to the Dealer in the absence of such transfer and assignment. If at any time at which (1) the Equity Percentage exceeds 9.0% or (2) GSI, GSI Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of GSI or GSI Group (GSI, GSI Group or any such person, a “GS Person”) under any foreign, federal, state or local regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Laws”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting, registration, filing or notification obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a GS Person under Applicable Laws and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1) or (2), an “Excess Ownership Position”), GSI, in its discretion, is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party after its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing and terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to GSI such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, GSI may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of any Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that GSI so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of any Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement and Section 7(d) of this Master Confirmation as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of such Transaction, (ii) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination, (iii) such portion of such Transaction were the only Terminated Transaction and

18


 

(iv) GSI were the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement and to determine the amount payable pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Agreement. The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that GSI and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with GSI for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with GSI (collectively, “GS Group”) “beneficially own” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
     (g) Additional Definitions; Amendments to Equity Definitions.
     (i) For the purposes of this Master Confirmation the following definitions will apply:
     “Depositary” means, in relation to the Shares, Citibank, N.A., or any successor thereto from time to time.
     “Deposit Agreement” means, (i) that certain Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2007, by and among Issuer, the Depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners of the Shares and (ii) the other agreements or other instruments constituting the Shares, as from time to time amended or supplemented in accordance with their terms.
     “DS Amendment” means, where specified as applicable to a definition or provision, that the following changes shall be made to such definition or provision: (a) all references to “Shares” shall be deleted and replaced with the words “Shares and/or the Underlying Shares”; and (b) all references to “Issuer” shall be deleted and replaced with the words “Issuer or Underlying Shares Issuer, as appropriate”.
     “Replacement DSs” means depositary shares or receipts, other than the Shares, over the same Underlying Shares.
     (ii) The following amendments shall be made to the Equity Definitions:
  (A)   The definition of Potential Adjustment Event in Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended as follows:
  (1)   the DS Amendment shall be applicable, provided that an event under Section 11.2(e)(i) to (vii) of the Equity Definitions in respect of the Underlying Shares shall not constitute a Potential Adjustment Event unless, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, such event has a material effect on the theoretical value of the Shares; and
 
  (2)   (x) ‘or’ shall be deleted where it appears at the end of subsection (vi);
  (y)   ‘.’ shall be deleted where it appears at the end of subsection (vii) and replaced with ‘; or’; and
 
  (z)   the following shall be inserted as subsection (viii): “(viii) the making of any amendment or supplement to the terms of the Deposit Agreement that has substantially the same effect on the Shares as clauses (i) to (vi) hereof”.
  (B)   In making any adjustment following any Potential Adjustment Event, the Calculation Agent may, but is not required to, have reference to (among other factors) any adjustment made by the Depositary under the Deposit Agreement. If the Calculation Agent reasonably determines that no adjustment that it could make will produce a commercially reasonable result, it shall notify the parties that the relevant consequence shall be the termination of the relevant Transaction, in which case “Cancellation and Payment” will be deemed to apply and any payment to be made by one party to the other shall be calculated in accordance with Section 12.7 of the Equity Definitions.

19


 

  (C)   The definitions of “Merger Event”, “Tender Offer”, “Share-for-Share”, “Share-for-Other” and “Share-for-Combined” in Section 12.1 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended in accordance with the DS Amendment.
 
  (D)   Following the declaration by Underlying Shares Issuer of the terms of any Merger Event or Tender Offer in relation to the Underlying Shares, the Calculation Agent may, but is not required to, in determining any adjustment pursuant to Modified Calculation Adjustment, have reference to (among other factors) any adjustment made by the Depositary under the Deposit Agreement.
 
  (E)   The definitions of Nationalization and Insolvency in Section 12.6 of the Equity Definitions shall be amended in accordance with the DS Amendment.
 
  (F)   The consequence of a Nationalization or Insolvency in respect of the Depositary shall be Cancellation and Payment.
 
  (G)   If the Depositary announces that the Deposit Agreement is (or will be) terminated, then an Additional Disruption Event shall be deemed to occur and:
  (1)   Cancellation and Payment will apply as provided in this Master Confirmation; provided that the Calculation Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, that a replacement of the Shares with Replacement DSs or the Underlying Shares should take place and that one or more terms of any Transaction should be amended to preserve the fair value of such Transaction to GSI and if the Calculation Agent so determines, then Cancellation and Payment shall not apply in respect of such termination of the Deposit Agreement, as applicable, and references to Shares herein shall be replaced by references to such Replacement DSs or the Underlying Shares, as applicable, with such amendments as shall be determined by the Calculation Agent; and
 
  (2)   where Cancellation and Payment applies under (G)(1) above in respect of a termination of the Deposit Agreement, the Equity Definitions shall be interpreted as follows: (i) such termination shall be deemed to be an “Extraordinary Event”; (ii) Cancellation and Payment shall apply as defined in Section 12.6(c)(ii) of the Equity Definitions; and (iii) the definition of “Announcement Date” in Section 12.1(l) of the Equity Definitions shall include the following additional clause (vii) at the end of the first sentence thereof: “(vii) in the case of a termination of the Deposit Agreement, the date of the first public announcement by the Depository that the Deposit Agreement is (or will be) terminated”.
  (H)   The definitions of “Hedging Disruption” and “Increased Cost of Hedging” in the Equity Definitions shall each be amended as follows:
  (1)   the words “any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the equity price risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the relevant Transaction” shall be deleted and replaced with the words “any Share(s), any transaction(s) referencing any Share(s), or any transaction(s) or asset(s) that, in each case, it deems necessary to hedge the equity price risk and/or foreign exchange risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the relevant Transaction”; and
 
  (2)   the words “any such transaction(s) or asset(s)” shall be deleted and replaced with the words “any such Share(s) or transaction(s) or asset(s).”
  (I)   The definition of “Insolvency Filing” in Section 12.9(a)(iv) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended in accordance with the DS Amendment.
 
  (J)   For the avoidance of doubt, where a provision is amended by this Section 7(g) in accordance with the DS Amendment, if the event described in such provision occurs in respect of the Underlying

20


 

      Shares or Underlying Shares Issuer, then the consequence of such event shall be interpreted consistently with the DS Amendment and such event.
     (h) Non-Confidentiality. The parties hereby agree that (i) effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transactions, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transactions and all materials of any kind, including opinions or other tax analyses, provided by GSI and its affiliates to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that the foregoing does not constitute an authorization to disclose the identity of GSI or its affiliates, agents or advisers, or, except to the extent relating to such tax structure or tax treatment, any specific pricing terms or commercial or financial information, and (ii) GSI does not assert any claim of proprietary ownership in respect of any description contained herein or therein relating to the use of any entities, plans or arrangements to give rise to a particular United States federal income tax treatment for Counterparty.
     (i) Right to Extend. GSI may, without duplication with the provisions under “Regulatory Disruption” above, divide any Component of any Transaction into additional Components and designate the Expiration Date and the Component Number of Options for each such Component (and may make corresponding adjustments to the Final Disruption Date) if GSI determines, in its good faith and reasonable discretion, that such further division is reasonably necessary or advisable to preserve GSI’s hedging activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable GSI or one of its affiliates to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging activity hereunder in a manner that would, if GSI or such an affiliate were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
     (j) Counterparts. This Master Confirmation may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
     (k) Severability; Illegality. If compliance by either party with any provision of any Transaction would be unenforceable or illegal, (i) the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such unenforceability or illegality in a manner that preserves the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) the other provisions of such Transaction shall not be invalidated, but shall remain in full force and effect.
     (l) Third Party Rights. This Master Confirmation and the Confirmations are not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in any person other than Counterparty, GSI and their respective successors and assigns and no other person shall assert any rights as third-party beneficiary hereunder. Whenever any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. All the covenants and agreements herein contained by or on behalf of Counterparty and GSI shall bind, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or not.

     (n) Waiver of Rights. Any provision of this Master Confirmation and any Confirmation may be waived if, and only if, such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.
     (o) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into the Transactions by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.

21


 

     (p) Submission to Jurisdiction. Section 13(b) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
     “Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits for itself and its property in any suit, legal action or proceeding relating to the Agreement and/or any Transaction, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof (each, “Proceedings”), to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, sitting in New York County, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof.

With respect to GSI, the guarantee dated as of or about the date hereof by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. in favor of Counterparty as beneficiary thereof, substantially in the form of Annex B hereto shall constitute a Credit Support Document for each Transaction, such guarantee to be delivered by GSI reasonably promptly following the Trade Date.

ANNEX A
GUARANTY
     GUARANTY (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), dated as of September [7], 2010 of Mr. Jason Nanchun Jiang (the “Guarantor”) in favor of Goldman Sachs International (the “Beneficiary”).
     WHEREAS, JJ Media Investment Holding Limited (the “Company”) and the Beneficiary have entered into (i) the Capped Call Transaction Master Confirmation, dated as of or about the date hereof, and each of the Confirmations, each dated as of or about the date hereof, subject to the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross Border) (as further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, and together with all schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Capped Call Confirmation”), (ii) the Share Swap Transaction Confirmation, dated as of or about the date hereof, and the Supplemental Confirmation, dated as of or about the date hereof, subject to the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross Border) (as further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, and together with all schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Swap Confirmation”) and (iii) the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Capped Call Confirmation);

          (a) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Beneficiary, with effect from the date of the Swap Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents, the due and punctual payment (and not merely collection), in U.S. dollars, of all present and future amounts, whether absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, fees, breakage costs, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, owing by the Company under the Swap Confirmation, the Capped Call Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents, as and when such amounts become due and payable, whether at their scheduled due dates, upon acceleration or otherwise (or would otherwise be owing, due or payable under the Swap Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents) and the performance of all delivery and other obligations of the Company under the Swap Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms thereof (such payment and performance obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
          (b) The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty constitute a guaranty of payment and performance when due and not of collection.
          (c) The Guarantor hereby agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Beneficiary in enforcing this Guaranty.
          (d) In no event shall the Beneficiary be obligated to take any action, obtain any judgment or file any claim prior to enforcing this Guaranty. The Beneficiary shall have the right, individually or jointly, to demand payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations upon failure of the Company punctually to pay or perform the same and to enforce the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty. Accordingly, upon failure of the Company punctually to pay or perform any Guaranteed Obligation and upon demand by the Beneficiary to the Guarantor, the Guarantor agrees to pay or perform, or cause to be paid or performed, such Guaranteed Obligation; provided that delay by the Beneficiary in giving such demand shall in no event affect the Guarantor’s obligations

 


 

under this Guaranty. The rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Guaranty are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by any other agreement or by law.
          (e) The Guarantor hereby agrees that this is a continuing guaranty and that the Guaranteed Obligations shall be unconditional. The Guaranteed Obligations shall not be discharged except by the complete payment of the amounts payable under the Swap Confirmation, the Capped Call Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents, irrespective of (1) any claim as to the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Swap Confirmation or this Guaranty or any other of the other Transaction Documents; (2) any purported lack of authority of the Company to execute or deliver the Transaction Documents; (3) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, or amendment to, any Transaction Document; (4) any waiver or consent by the Beneficiary with respect to any provisions of the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document or any compromise or release of any of the obligations thereunder; (5) the absence of any action to enforce the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document, to recover any judgment against the Company or to enforce a judgment against the Company under the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document; (6) the existence of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceedings involving the Company; (7) any setoff, counterclaim, or defense of any kind or nature which may be available to or asserted by the Guarantor or the Company against the Beneficiaries or any of their affiliates; (8) any impairment, furnishing, exchange or release of, or failure to perfect or enforce any security interest in, collateral securing the Obligations; (9) any change in the laws, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction; (10) any present or future action of any governmental authority amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the obligations of the Company under the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, or (11) any other circumstance (other than full payment or performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor generally.
          (f) The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand on the Company for payment or otherwise, any filing of claims, any requirement of a prior proceeding against the Company and protest or notice of any kind whatsoever. If at any time (including any time after termination or expiration of this Guaranty) payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned by the Beneficiary upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or the Guarantor or otherwise, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated upon such restoration or return being made by such Beneficiary, all as though such payment had not been made.
     Section 2. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Beneficiary on the date hereof and during the duration of this Guaranty that:
          (a) he has full power, authority, and legal right to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform the provisions of this Guaranty on his part to be performed;
          (b) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes the legal, binding and enforceable obligation of the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s executors, administrators, guardians, conservators, successors and assigns;
          (c) his execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of any organizational document, any laws applicable to him or any contractual restriction binding on him or his assets;
          (d) no notice to, consent, authorization or approval by, or filing with, any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Guarantor or his property is required for his execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty;
          (e) except for the legal proceeding In re: Focus Media Limited Litigation, described under item 8.A—“Legal Proceedings” in the annual report on Form 20-F of Focus Media Holding Limited, as filed on June 29, 2010, and as subsequently amended on July 16, 2010 and September 7, 2010, to which proceeding Jason Nanchun Jiang as a director of Focus Media Holding Group is named as a party, there is not pending or, to the Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against the Guarantor, any action, suit or proceeding before any governmental authority or governmental official or any arbitrator that could be reasonably be expected to affect the legality,

 


 

validity or enforceability against the Guarantor of this Guaranty or the Guarantor’s ability to perform his obligations under this Guaranty; and
          (f) the execution by the Guarantor of this Guaranty is a free, voluntary and competent act.
     Section 3. Subrogation of Rights. By accepting this Guaranty and entering into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the Beneficiary agrees that the Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Beneficiary against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, provided that the Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or to receive any payment or take any other action arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation only when all amounts payable by the Company under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been paid and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been terminated.
     Section 4. Binding Effect. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor, his executors, administrators, guardians, conservators, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Beneficiary and its successors and assigns. The Guarantor may not assign his rights nor delegate his obligations under this Guarantee, in whole or in part, without prior written consent of the Beneficiary, and any purported assignment or delegation absent such consent is void. If the Beneficiary assigns or otherwise transfers all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Swap Confirmation or the Capped Call Confirmation to any other Person, in each case, in accordance with the terms thereof, then such other Person shall thereupon become a Beneficiary hereunder vested with all the benefits in respect of such transferred rights and obligations granted to the predecessor Beneficiary herein.
     Section 5. Notices. Any notice to the Guarantor hereunder shall be in writing and sent in any manner permitted by Section 12(a) of the Agreement (as defined in the Swap Confirmation) to the following address and person or to such other address or person’s attention as the Guarantor shall from time to time notify the Beneficiary.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
For value received, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (the “Guarantor”), a corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, hereby unconditionally guarantees the prompt and complete payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations and liabilities, whether now in existence or hereafter arising, of Goldman Sachs International, a subsidiary of the Guarantor and an unlimited liability company duly organized under the laws of England (the “Company”), to JJ Media Investment Holding Limited (the “Counterparty”) arising out of or under the Capped Call Confirmation, as defined below (the “Obligations”). This Guaranty is one of payment and not of collection.
As used herein:
Capped Call Confirmation” means the Capped Call Transaction Master Confirmation between the Company and the Counterparty dated as of September 7, 2010, and each of the related Confirmations, each dated as of September 7, 2010, subject to the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) incorporated therein (as further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, and together with all schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Deemed ISDA Master Agreement”).
The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the Obligations, and waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonour or non-payment of the Obligations, suit or the taking of other action by Counterparty against, and any other notice to, the Company, the Guarantor or others.
The Counterparty may at any time and from time to time without notice to or consent of the Guarantor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder: (1) agree with the Company to make any change in the terms of the Obligations; (2) take or fail to take any action of any kind in respect of any security for the Obligations; (3) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company or others in respect of the Obligations; or (4) compromise or subordinate the Obligations, including any security therefor. Any other suretyship defenses are hereby waived by the Guarantor.
This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until the opening of business on the fifth business day after Counterparty receives written notice of termination from the Guarantor. It is understood and agreed, however, that notwithstanding any such termination this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations which shall have been incurred prior to such termination.
The Guarantor may not assign its rights nor delegate its obligations under this Guaranty, in whole or in part, without prior written consent of the Counterparty, and any purported assignment or delegation absent such consent is void, except for an assignment and delegation of all of the Guarantor’s rights and obligations hereunder in whatever form the Guarantor determines may be appropriate to a partnership, corporation, trust or other organization in whatever form that succeeds to all or substantially all of the Guarantor’s assets and business and that assumes such obligations by contract, operation of law or otherwise. Upon any such delegation and assumption of obligations, the Guarantor shall be relieved of and fully discharged from all obligations hereunder, whether such obligations arose before or after such delegation and assumption.
THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF

 


 

CONFLICTS OF LAW. GUARANTOR AGREES TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OVER ANY DISPUTES ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY.

Market Disruption Event:
  The definition of “Market Disruption Event” in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time, as the case may be” and inserting the words “at any time on any Scheduled Trading Day during the Averaging Period” after the word “material,” in the third line thereof.

Regulatory Disruption:
  In the event that GSI concludes, in its good faith and reasonable discretion, based on the advice of counsel, that it is reasonably necessary or appropriate with respect to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by GSI), for it to refrain from all or any part of the market activity in which it would otherwise engage in connection with the Transaction on any Exchange Business Day during the period commencing on the Averaging Period Start Date and ending on the Cash Settlement Payment Date, GSI shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Counterparty in writing that a Regulatory Disruption has occurred on such Exchange Business Day without specifying (and GSI shall not otherwise communicate to Counterparty) the nature of such Regulatory Disruption.

Valuation Disruption:
  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, to the extent that a Disrupted Day occurs during the Averaging Period, the Calculation Agent may, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, postpone the remaining Exchange Business Days during the Averaging Period. If any such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day because of a Market Disruption Event, the Calculation Agent shall determine whether (i) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in full, in which case the VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day shall not be included for purposes of determining the Final Price or (ii) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the VWAP Price for such Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day effected before the relevant Market Disruption Event occurred and/or after the relevant Market Disruption Event ended, and the weighting of the VWAP Price for the relevant Valuation Date shall be adjusted in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Final Price with such adjustments based on, among other factors, the duration of any Market Disruption Event and the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares. Any Scheduled Trading Day on which the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full.
 
   
 
  If a Disrupted Day occurs during the Averaging Period and, following such Disrupted Day, no Exchange Business Day that is not a Disrupted Day has occurred as of the Final Disruption Date, then the Calculation Agent, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, shall deem such Final Disruption Date to be a Valuation Date that is not a Disrupted Day and determine the VWAP Price for such Valuation Date using its good faith estimate of the value of the Shares on such Valuation Date based on the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares and such other factors as it reasonably deems appropriate.

6. Miscellaneous.
     (a) Calculations on Early Termination and Set-Off. The parties agree that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to a party who is the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party (“X”), the other party (“Y”) will have the right (but not be obliged) without prior notice to X or any other person to set-off or apply any obligation of X owed to Y (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) against any obligation of Y owed to X (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under the Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation). Y will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Section 6(a). Any amounts (or the relevant portion of such amounts) subject to set-off may be converted by Y into the Termination Currency at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency. If any obligation is unascertained, Y may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 6(a) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 6(a) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).
     (b) Rule 10b5-1. The parties intend for the Transaction to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(A) under the Exchange Act and this Confirmation and the Supplemental Confirmation to constitute a binding contract or instruction satisfying the requirements of 10b5-1(c) and to be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).
     (c) Calculations and Payment Date upon Early Termination. The parties acknowledge and agree that in calculating Loss pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement GSI may (but need not) determine losses without reference to actual losses incurred but based on expected losses assuming a commercially reasonable (including without limitation with regard to reasonable legal and regulatory guidelines) “risk bid”, “volume weighted” valuations or “private placement” discounts used to determine loss to avoid awaiting the delay associated with

  (ii)   The following amendments shall be made to the Equity Definitions:
  (A)   The definition of Potential Adjustment Event in Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended as follows:
  (1)   the DS Amendment shall be applicable, provided that an event under Section 11.2(e)(i) to (vii) of the Equity Definitions in respect of the Underlying Shares shall not constitute a Potential Adjustment Event unless, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, such event has a material effect on the theoretical value of the Shares; and
 
  (2)    
  (x)   ‘or’ shall be deleted where it appears at the end of subsection (vi);

  (G)   If the Depositary announces that the Deposit Agreement is (or will be) terminated, then an Additional Disruption Event shall be deemed to occur and:
  (1)   Cancellation and Payment will apply as provided in this Confirmation; provided that the Calculation Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, that a replacement of the Shares with Replacement DSs or the Underlying Shares should take place and that one or more terms of the Transaction should be amended to preserve the fair value of the Transaction to GSI (for the avoidance of doubt, any such adjustment may be made by Calculation Agent either in favor of Counterparty or in favor of GSI, as applicable) and if the Calculation Agent so determines, then Cancellation and Payment shall not apply in respect of such termination of the Deposit Agreement, as applicable, and references to Shares herein shall be replaced by references to such Replacement DSs or the Underlying Shares, as applicable, with such amendments as shall be determined by the Calculation Agent; and

  (1)   the words “any transaction(s) or asset(s) it deems necessary to hedge the equity price risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the relevant Transaction” shall be deleted and replaced with the words “any Share(s), any transaction(s) referencing any Share(s), or any transaction(s) or asset(s) that, in each case, it deems necessary to hedge the equity price risk and/or foreign exchange risk of entering into and performing its obligations with respect to the relevant Transaction”; and
 
  (2)   the words “any such transaction(s) or asset(s)” shall be deleted and replaced with the words “any such Share(s) or transaction(s) or asset(s).”
  (I)   If Cancellation and Payment applies under Section 6(e)(ii)(F) or Section 6(e)(ii)(G) of this Confirmation in respect of a Transaction, then the Determining Party shall be GSI; provided that, upon receipt of written request from Counterparty, Determining Party shall promptly (but in no

15


 

      event later than within seven (7) Scheduled Trading Days from the receipt of such request) provide Counterparty with a written explanation describing in reasonable detail any determination made by it (including any quotations, market data or information from internal sources used in making such calculations, but without disclosing GSI’s proprietary models).
 
  (J)   The definition of “Insolvency Filing” in Section 12.9(a)(iv) of the Equity Definitions shall be amended in accordance with the DS Amendment.

     (g) Right to Extend. GSI may, without duplication with the provisions under “Regulatory Disruption” above, postpone the remaining Exchange Business Days during the Averaging Period, the Cash Settlement Payment Date or any other date of valuation or payment by GSI (and may make corresponding adjustments to the Final Disruption Date), with respect to some portion or all of the Number of Shares, if GSI determines, in its good faith and reasonable discretion, that such extension is reasonably necessary or advisable to preserve GSI’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable GSI or one of its affiliates to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if GSI or such an affiliate were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

ANNEX A
GUARANTY
     GUARANTY (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), dated as of September [7], 2010 of Mr. Jason Nanchun Jiang (the “Guarantor”) in favor of Goldman Sachs International (the “Beneficiary”).
     WHEREAS, JJ Media Investment Holding Limited (the “Company”) and the Beneficiary have entered into (i) the Capped Call Transaction Master Confirmation, dated as of or about the date hereof, and each of the Confirmations, each dated as of or about the date hereof, subject to the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross Border) (as further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, and together with all schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Capped Call Confirmation”), (ii) the Share Swap Transaction Confirmation, dated as of or about the date hereof, and the Supplemental Confirmation, dated as of or about the date hereof, subject to the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross Border) (as further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, and together with all schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Swap Confirmation”) and (iii) the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Capped Call Confirmation);
     WHEREAS, in consideration of the entry of the Beneficiary into the Capped Call Confirmation and the obligations of Beneficiary pursuant thereto and the entry of the Beneficiary into the Swap Confirmation and the obligations of Beneficiary pursuant thereto, the Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the payment of all amounts, and the performance of all obligations, by the Company under the Swap Confirmation, the Capped Call Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents;
     WHEREAS, all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Capped Call Confirmation or the Swap Confirmation, as the case may be;
     NOW, THEREFORE, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
     Section 1. The Guaranty.
          (a) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Beneficiary, with effect from the date of the Swap Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents, the due and punctual payment (and not merely collection), in U.S. dollars, of all present and future amounts, whether absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, fees, breakage costs, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, owing by the Company under the Swap Confirmation, the Capped Call Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents, as and when such amounts become due and payable, whether at their scheduled due dates, upon acceleration or otherwise (or would otherwise be owing, due or payable under the Swap Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents) and the performance of all delivery and other obligations of the Company under the Swap Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms thereof (such payment and performance obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
          (b) The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty constitute a guaranty of payment and performance when due and not of collection.
          (c) The Guarantor hereby agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Beneficiary in enforcing this Guaranty.
          (d) In no event shall the Beneficiary be obligated to take any action, obtain any judgment or file any claim prior to enforcing this Guaranty. The Beneficiary shall have the right, individually or jointly, to demand payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations upon failure of the Company punctually to pay or perform the same and to enforce the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty. Accordingly, upon failure of the Company punctually to pay or perform any Guaranteed Obligation and upon demand by the Beneficiary to the Guarantor, the Guarantor agrees to pay or perform, or cause to be paid or performed, such Guaranteed Obligation; provided that delay by the Beneficiary in giving such demand shall in no event affect the Guarantor’s obligations

 


 

under this Guaranty. The rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Guaranty are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by any other agreement or by law.
          (e) The Guarantor hereby agrees that this is a continuing guaranty and that the Guaranteed Obligations shall be unconditional. The Guaranteed Obligations shall not be discharged except by the complete payment of the amounts payable under the Swap Confirmation, the Capped Call Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents, irrespective of (1) any claim as to the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Swap Confirmation or this Guaranty or any other of the other Transaction Documents; (2) any purported lack of authority of the Company to execute or deliver the Transaction Documents; (3) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, or amendment to, any Transaction Document; (4) any waiver or consent by the Beneficiary with respect to any provisions of the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document or any compromise or release of any of the obligations thereunder; (5) the absence of any action to enforce the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document, to recover any judgment against the Company or to enforce a judgment against the Company under the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document; (6) the existence of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceedings involving the Company; (7) any setoff, counterclaim, or defense of any kind or nature which may be available to or asserted by the Guarantor or the Company against the Beneficiaries or any of their affiliates; (8) any impairment, furnishing, exchange or release of, or failure to perfect or enforce any security interest in, collateral securing the Obligations; (9) any change in the laws, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction; (10) any present or future action of any governmental authority amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the obligations of the Company under the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, or (11) any other circumstance (other than full payment or performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor generally.
          (f) The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand on the Company for payment or otherwise, any filing of claims, any requirement of a prior proceeding against the Company and protest or notice of any kind whatsoever. If at any time (including any time after termination or expiration of this Guaranty) payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned by the Beneficiary upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or the Guarantor or otherwise, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated upon such restoration or return being made by such Beneficiary, all as though such payment had not been made.
     Section 2. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Beneficiary on the date hereof and during the duration of this Guaranty that:
          (a) he has full power, authority, and legal right to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform the provisions of this Guaranty on his part to be performed;
          (b) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes the legal, binding and enforceable obligation of the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s executors, administrators, guardians, conservators, successors and assigns;
          (c) his execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of any organizational document, any laws applicable to him or any contractual restriction binding on him or his assets;
          (d) no notice to, consent, authorization or approval by, or filing with, any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Guarantor or his property is required for his execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty;
          (e) except for the legal proceeding In re: Focus Media Limited Litigation, described under item 8.A—“Legal Proceedings” in the annual report on Form 20-F of Focus Media Holding Limited, as filed on June 29, 2010, and as subsequently amended on July 16, 2010 and September 7, 2010, to which proceeding Jason Nanchun Jiang as a director of Focus Media Holding Group is named as a party, there is not pending or, to the Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against the Guarantor, any action, suit or proceeding before any governmental

 


 

authority or governmental official or any arbitrator that could be reasonably be expected to affect the legality, validity or enforceability against the Guarantor of this Guaranty or the Guarantor’s ability to perform his obligations under this Guaranty; and
          (f) the execution by the Guarantor of this Guaranty is a free, voluntary and competent act.
     Section 3. Subrogation of Rights. By accepting this Guaranty and entering into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the Beneficiary agrees that the Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Beneficiary against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, provided that the Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or to receive any payment or take any other action arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation only when all amounts payable by the Company under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been paid and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been terminated.
     Section 4. Binding Effect. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor, his executors, administrators, guardians, conservators, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Beneficiary and its successors and assigns. The Guarantor may not assign his rights nor delegate his obligations under this Guarantee, in whole or in part, without prior written consent of the Beneficiary, and any purported assignment or delegation absent such consent is void. If the Beneficiary assigns or otherwise transfers all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Swap Confirmation or the Capped Call Confirmation to any other Person, in each case, in accordance with the terms thereof, then such other Person shall thereupon become a Beneficiary hereunder vested with all the benefits in respect of such transferred rights and obligations granted to the predecessor Beneficiary herein.
     Section 5. Notices. Any notice to the Guarantor hereunder shall be in writing and sent in any manner permitted by Section 12(a) of the Agreement (as defined in the Swap Confirmation) to the following address and person or to such other address or person’s attention as the Guarantor shall from time to time notify the Beneficiary.

     WHEREAS, Secured Party maintains a securities account, number [to be provided by Secured Party], in the name of Grantor (together with any successor or renumbered account, the “Securities Account”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Swap Confirmation, or if not defined therein, the Capped Call Confirmation, as appropriate;
     WHEREAS, Secured Party has required as a condition to and as security for entering into the Swap Confirmation and the Capped Call Confirmation with Grantor, and in connection with the observance and performance of all the terms, covenants and provisions under the Swap Confirmation and, to the extent that the payment of any portion of any Premium has been deferred under the Capped Call Confirmation, the Capped Call Confirmation (the “Secured Agreements”), on the part of Grantor to be observed and performed, a pledge of and first priority security interest in any and all items described on Exhibit A hereto, together with all substitutions and replacements thereof and any products and proceeds thereof (the “Collateral”);
     WHEREAS, Grantor will derive benefit from entering into the Swap Confirmation and the Capped Call Confirmation and is willing to enter into this Agreement on the terms and conditions hereinafter provided.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
     1. Security Interest.
          (a) Grant of Security. As security for the Obligations (as hereinafter defined), Grantor hereby delivers, assigns, charges, pledges, sets over and grants to Secured Party a first priority security interest in, lien on and right of set off against, all of its right, title and interest, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, in and to the Collateral. Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC with respect to any of the Collateral (whether or not the UCC is otherwise applicable in the relevant jurisdiction). “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (unless otherwise specified) as the UCC may be amended, supplemented, or modified from time to time. Grantor and Secured Party agree that Grantor’s grant of the security interest in the Collateral shall not be a breach of any restriction on assignment in any Secured Agreement.
          (b) Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures the performance of all now existing or hereafter arising obligations of Grantor to Secured Party, whether payment or delivery, primary or secondary, direct

or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, secured or unsecured, due or not, liquidated or unliquidated, in each case arising by operation of law or otherwise under the Secured Agreements, whether for principal, interest (including, without limitation, interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding), fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, together with all costs of collection or enforcement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in any collection efforts or in any action or proceeding (all such obligations being the “Obligations”).
          (c) Grantor Remains Liable. This Agreement shall not affect Grantor’s liability to perform all of its duties and obligations under the transactions giving rise to the Obligations. The exercise by Secured Party of any of the rights hereunder shall not release Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the transactions giving rise to the Obligations, which shall remain unchanged as if this Agreement had not been executed. Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under the transactions giving rise to the Obligations by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
          (d) Continuing Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing first priority security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until discharge in full of the Obligations. The security created by Grantor under this Agreement shall not be affected by any circumstance (other than complete, irrevocable payment or performance) with respect to Grantor that might otherwise constitute a defense available to the Grantor with respect to its obligations under this Agreement. The security created by Grantor hereunder (i) shall be a continuing security and shall not be satisfied by any intermediate performance of the Obligations, (ii) shall be in addition to and shall not be affected by any other security now or subsequently held by Secured Party for all or any of the Obligations and (iii) shall not be prejudiced or affected by any act, omission or circumstance which, but for this provision, might operate to release or otherwise prejudice or affect such security including (but without limitation) and whether or not known to Grantor or Secured Party (A) any time or indulgence granted to or composition with Grantor or any other person, (B) the variation, extension, compromise, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect or enforce, any terms of the Secured Agreements or any rights or remedies against, or any security granted by, Grantor or any other person, (C) any irregularity, invalidity or unenforceability of any of Grantor’s obligations or any present or future law or order of any government or authority (whether of right or in fact) purporting to reduce or otherwise affect any of the Obligations with the intent that the security shall remain in full force and this Agreement shall be construed accordingly as if there were no such irregularity, unenforceability, invalidity, law or order and (D) any legal limitation, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to Grantor, any guarantor or any other person, or any amendment to or variation of the terms of this Agreement (other than an amendment to this Agreement in accordance with its terms) or any other document or security.
     2. Title; Liens and Encumbrances. Grantor represents and warrants to, and with respect to paragraph (d) below, Grantor covenants and agrees with, Secured Party as follows:

Grantor will promptly notify Secured Party of any such other lien or claim made or asserted against the Collateral and will defend the Collateral against any such lien or other claim.
          (b) The Collateral is duly and validly pledged to Secured Party and no consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory authority or of any securities exchange or the like, nor any consent or approval of any third party, was or is necessary to the validity and enforceability of this Agreement.
          (c) The Shares (or any securities in exchange or replacement thereof) described in clause (i) of Exhibit A, is the form of asset defined in the UCC as “security entitlements” as defined in §8-102(a)(17) of the UCC.

Grantor shall deliver such items in the same form received, endorsed, or otherwise assigned by Grantor where necessary to permit collection of such items.
     7. Events of Default. The occurrence of (i) an Event of Default or Additional Termination Event under the Capped Call Confirmation (with respect to the payment of any portion of the Premium that has been deferred thereunder) or the Swap Confirmation, in each case with respect to Grantor, whether or not there are any outstanding Transactions under such Capped Call Confirmation or Swap Confirmation; (ii) a failure by Grantor to pay or perform any obligation under or in connection with this Agreement when due, (iii) any other covenant or undertaking by Grantor in this Agreement is not met, or (iv) any representation or warranty made by Grantor in this Agreement is untrue or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed repeated shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Agreement.
     8. Rights and Remedies.
          (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default:
  1.   Secured Party may exercise all rights and remedies available under applicable law or in equity including, but not limited to, the right to sell, liquidate, credit (with respect to non-cash Collateral: at a value determined by Secured Party in accordance with the definition

5


 

      of “Settlement Price” specified in Section 7.3(a) of the Equity Definitions (as defined in the Swap Confirmation, without regard to any specifications regarding such definition therein) or, if Secured Party determines that such method is not applicable, in accordance with the definition of “Market Quotation” specified in Section 14 of the Agreement (as defined in the Swap Confirmation)) or otherwise realize, apply, collect on and set off in accordance with applicable law and in such order as Secured Party thinks fit any or all Collateral pledged, transferred or otherwise delivered by Grantor to Secured Party under this Agreement or any Secured Agreement against any amounts payable in respect of any Loss, whether arising under the Capped Call Confirmation or the Swap Confirmation (in each case, as defined in the Agreement defined therein) or other obligation owed to Secured Party under any Secured Agreement, the Capped Call Confirmation or this Agreement;
  2.   Secured Party may draw on the Guaranty (as defined in the Swap Confirmation) or any other guarantee or other third party credit support provided by or on behalf of Counterparty for the claims under any Secured Agreement;
 
  3.   Secured Party may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC in respect of the Collateral;
 
  4.   Secured Party may exercise any other remedies provided under this Agreement or applicable law or in equity;
 
  5.   Secured Party shall have the right to receive any and all cash, interest, dividends, distributions, payments or other proceeds paid in respect of the Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations in such order as Secured Party may determine; and
 
  6.   any or all of the Collateral may be registered in the name of Secured Party or its nominee and they may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Collateral and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all securities or securities entitlements upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change, or upon the exercise of Grantor or Secured Party of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such securities or securities entitlements, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the securities or securities entitlements with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Secured Party may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Secured Party shall have no duty to Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
          (b) Any such sale, lease or other disposition of Collateral may be made without demand for performance or any notice of advertisement whatsoever except that where an applicable statute requires reasonable notice of sale or other disposition, Grantor agrees that the sending of fifteen (15) days notice by airmail or courier to Grantor of the place and time of any public sale or of the time at which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made, shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Collateral may be materially diminished in value during such 15-day period, Secured Party shall provide Grantor with such shorter notice as it deems reasonable under the circumstances.
          (c) The proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied first to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like, and to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Secured Party, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations (in any order as Secured Party may decide in its sole discretion), and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law. If, upon the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient

to pay all amounts to which Secured Party is legally entitled, Grantor will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate prescribed in the agreements giving rise to the Obligations, and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention, or sale of the Collateral.
          (d) Grantor covenants and agrees with Secured Party that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Grantor shall not sell (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) any Shares, Underlying Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares or Underlying Shares unless, subject to Section 6(g) of the Capped Call Confirmation, Secured Party shall have (i) completed all such sales, leases or other dispositions of Collateral and (ii) provided notice to Grantor, such notice to be provided reasonably promptly following such completion.

          (g) For purposes of Section 8(f) hereof, the inability of Secured Party to acquire, receive or exercise rights with respect to such Collateral at any time shall not preclude Secured Party in any way from taking such action at a later time as determined by subsequent Available Portion Notices. Section 8(f) hereof shall govern in the event of any inconsistency among the Secured Agreements and this Agreement. Section 8(f) hereof is for the sole benefit and protection of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Secured Party and their respective Affiliates and shall not be interpreted to give Grantor any additional rights, remedies, or causes of action hereunder or under the Secured Agreements.
          (h) If Grantor does not otherwise satisfy its delivery obligation pursuant to the Swap Transaction, Secured Party is hereby authorized and directed by Grantor to apply the Collateral in satisfaction of such delivery obligation.
          (i) The Secured Party will transfer to Grantor any Collateral and proceeds remaining after liquidation, set-off and/or application under clause (c) of this Section 8 after satisfaction in full of all amounts payable and assets deliverable by Grantor with respect to any Obligations; the Grantor in all events will remain liable for any amounts and assets remaining unpaid or deliverable after any liquidation, set-off and/or application under clause (c) of this Section 8.
          (j) When no amounts are or thereafter may become payable by the Grantor with respect to any Obligations (other than contingent indemnity or reimbursement obligations with respect to which no amounts are then owing), (i) the Secured Party will transfer to the Grantor all Collateral and proceeds, if any, and (ii) the liens granted under this Agreement shall terminate automatically. Secured Party agrees to take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by Grantor (at the expense of Grantor with respect to any out-of-pocket costs) to further evidence and give effect to such termination.
     9. Power of Attorney. Grantor authorizes Secured Party and does hereby make, constitute and appoint Secured Party, and any officer or agent of Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in its own name or in the name of Grantor: (i) to endorse any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of Secured Party; (ii) to pay or discharge any taxes, liens, security interest or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iii) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and sue for monies due in respect of the Collateral; (iv) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Grantor and to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to Grantor to such address as Secured Party may designate; (v) to exercise all rights, powers and privileges in connection with the Collateral to the same extent as Grantor is entitled to exercise such rights, powers and privileges; and (vi) generally to do all acts and things which Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein. Grantor hereby approves and ratifies all acts of said attorney or designee, who shall not be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error or judgment or mistake of fact or law except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party may exercise this power of attorney only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
     10. Notices. Notices shall be given in the manner, to the addresses and with the effect provided in Section 12(a) of the Agreement (as defined in the Swap Confirmation).
     11. Other Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then Secured Party shall have the right in its sole discretion to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder.
     12. No Waiver; Rights Cumulative.
          (a) No course of dealing between Grantor and Secured Party, or Secured Party’s failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. Any single

8


 

or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
          (b) All of Secured Party’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, whether established hereby or by any other agreements, instruments or documents securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations or by law or at equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently as shall be determined by Secured Party in its sole discretion. The rights of Secured Party hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Secured Party of any right or remedy against Grantor in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any other collateral security therefor. Secured Party shall not be under any obligation to collect, attempt to collect, protect or enforce the Collateral, or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Grantor or any other person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, including without limitation, pursuant to any other agreement relating thereto (including the fixed charge referred to herein), but Secured Party may do so in its sole discretion at any time upon an Event of Default as otherwise provided herein.
     13. Limitation on Secured Party’s Duty in Respect of Collateral. Secured Party shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.
     14. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing, and signed by Secured Party, and then any such waiver or consent shall only be effective in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
     15. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of Grantor and Secured Party hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Grantor and Secured Party, as applicable, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, inure to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors and assigns.
     16. No Partnership. The relationship between Secured Party and Grantor shall be only of creditor-debtor and no relationship of agency, partner or joint- or co-venturer shall be created by or inferred from this Agreement or the Secured Agreements. Grantor shall indemnify, defend, and save Secured Party harmless from any and all claims asserted against Secured Party as being the agent, partner, or joint-venturer of Grantor.
     17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between Grantor and Secured Party with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior conflicting or inconsistent agreements, consents and understandings relating to such subject matter. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that there is no oral agreement between Grantor and Secured Party which has not been incorporated in this Agreement.
     18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or by electronic transmission (including PDF) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
     19. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without effecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
     20. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

GUARANTY
     GUARANTY (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), dated as of September 7, 2010 of Mr. Jason Nanchun Jiang (the “Guarantor”) in favor of Goldman Sachs International (the “Beneficiary”).
     WHEREAS, JJ Media Investment Holding Limited (the “Company”) and the Beneficiary have entered into (i) the Capped Call Transaction Confirmation, dated as of or about the date hereof, and the Supplemental Confirmation, dated as of or about the date hereof, subject to the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross Border) (as further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, and together with all schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Capped Call Confirmation”), (ii) the Share Swap Transaction Confirmation, dated as of or about the date hereof, and the Supplemental Confirmation, dated as of or about the date hereof, subject to the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross Border) (as further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, and together with all schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Swap Confirmation”) and (iii) the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Capped Call Confirmation);
     WHEREAS, in consideration of the entry of the Beneficiary into the Capped Call Confirmation and the obligations of Beneficiary pursuant thereto and the entry of the Beneficiary into the Swap Confirmation and the obligations of Beneficiary pursuant thereto, the Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the payment of all amounts, and the performance of all obligations, by the Company under the Swap Confirmation, the Capped Call Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents;
     WHEREAS, all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Capped Call Confirmation or the Swap Confirmation, as the case may be;
     NOW, THEREFORE, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
     Section 1. The Guaranty.
          (a) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Beneficiary, with effect from the date of the Swap Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents, the due and punctual payment (and not merely collection), in U.S. dollars, of all present and future amounts, whether absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, fees, breakage costs, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, owing by the Company under the Swap Confirmation, the Capped Call Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents, as and when such amounts become due and payable, whether at their scheduled due dates, upon acceleration or otherwise (or would otherwise be owing, due or payable under the Swap Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents) and the performance of all delivery and other obligations of the Company under the Swap Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms thereof (such payment and performance obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
          (b) The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty constitute a guaranty of payment and performance when due and not of collection.
          (c) The Guarantor hereby agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Beneficiary in enforcing this Guaranty.
          (d) In no event shall the Beneficiary be obligated to take any action, obtain any judgment or file any claim prior to enforcing this Guaranty. The Beneficiary shall have the right, individually or jointly, to demand payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations upon failure of the Company punctually to pay or perform the same and to enforce the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty. Accordingly, upon failure of the Company punctually to pay or perform any Guaranteed Obligation and upon demand by the Beneficiary to the Guarantor, the Guarantor agrees to pay or perform, or cause to be paid or performed, such Guaranteed Obligation; provided that delay by the Beneficiary in giving such demand shall in no event affect the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. The rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Guaranty are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by any other agreement or by law.

 


 

          (e) The Guarantor hereby agrees that this is a continuing guaranty and that the Guaranteed Obligations shall be unconditional. The Guaranteed Obligations shall not be discharged except by the complete payment of the amounts payable under the Swap Confirmation, the Capped Call Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents, irrespective of (1) any claim as to the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Swap Confirmation or this Guaranty or any other of the other Transaction Documents; (2) any purported lack of authority of the Company to execute or deliver the Transaction Documents; (3) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, or amendment to, any Transaction Document; (4) any waiver or consent by the Beneficiary with respect to any provisions of the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document or any compromise or release of any of the obligations thereunder; (5) the absence of any action to enforce the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document, to recover any judgment against the Company or to enforce a judgment against the Company under the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document; (6) the existence of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceedings involving the Company; (7) any setoff, counterclaim, or defense of any kind or nature which may be available to or asserted by the Guarantor or the Company against the Beneficiaries or any of their affiliates; (8) any impairment, furnishing, exchange or release of, or failure to perfect or enforce any security interest in, collateral securing the Obligations; (9) any change in the laws, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction; (10) any present or future action of any governmental authority amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the obligations of the Company under the Swap Confirmation or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, or (11) any other circumstance (other than full payment or performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor generally.
          (f) The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand on the Company for payment or otherwise, any filing of claims, any requirement of a prior proceeding against the Company and protest or notice of any kind whatsoever. If at any time (including any time after termination or expiration of this Guaranty) payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned by the Beneficiary upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or the Guarantor or otherwise, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated upon such restoration or return being made by such Beneficiary, all as though such payment had not been made.
     Section 2. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Beneficiary on the date hereof and during the duration of this Guaranty that:
          (a) he has full power, authority, and legal right to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform the provisions of this Guaranty on his part to be performed;
          (b) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes the legal, binding and enforceable obligation of the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s executors, administrators, guardians, conservators, successors and assigns;
          (c) his execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of any organizational document, any laws applicable to him or any contractual restriction binding on him or his assets;
          (d) no notice to, consent, authorization or approval by, or filing with, any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Guarantor or his property is required for his execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty;
          (e) except for the legal proceeding In re: Focus Media Limited Litigation, described under item 8.A—“Legal Proceedings” in the annual report on Form 20-F of Focus Media Holding Limited, as filed on June 29, 2010, and as subsequently amended on July 16, 2010 and September 7, 2010, to which proceeding Jason Nanchun Jiang as a director of Focus Media Holding Group is named as a party, there is not pending or, to the Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against the Guarantor, any action, suit or proceeding before any governmental authority or governmental official or any arbitrator that could be reasonably be expected to affect the legality, validity or enforceability against the Guarantor of this Guaranty or the Guarantor’s ability to perform his obligations under this Guaranty; and

 


 

          (f) the execution by the Guarantor of this Guaranty is a free, voluntary and competent act.
     Section 3. Subrogation of Rights. By accepting this Guaranty and entering into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the Beneficiary agrees that the Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Beneficiary against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, provided that the Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or to receive any payment or take any other action arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation only when all amounts payable by the Company under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been paid and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been terminated.
     Section 4. Binding Effect. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor, his executors, administrators, guardians, conservators, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Beneficiary and its successors and assigns. The Guarantor may not assign his rights nor delegate his obligations under this Guarantee, in whole or in part, without prior written consent of the Beneficiary, and any purported assignment or delegation absent such consent is void. If the Beneficiary assigns or otherwise transfers all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Swap Confirmation or the Capped Call Confirmation to any other Person, in each case, in accordance with the terms thereof, then such other Person shall thereupon become a Beneficiary hereunder vested with all the benefits in respect of such transferred rights and obligations granted to the predecessor Beneficiary herein.
     Section 5. Notices. Any notice to the Guarantor hereunder shall be in writing and sent in any manner permitted by Section 12(a) of the Agreement (as defined in the Swap Confirmation) to the following address and person or to such other address or person’s attention as the Guarantor shall from time to time notify the Beneficiary.

Exhibit 99.20
EXECUTION VERSION
SALES PLAN
     THIS SALES PLAN, dated as of the date set forth on the signature page (this “Sales Plan”), is made by and between JJ Media Investment Holding Limited (“Seller”) and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Broker”).
     WHEREAS, Seller desires to establish this Sales Plan to sell American Depositary Shares (the "ADSs”) of Focus Media Holding Limited (the “Issuer”), issued or deemed issued under that certain Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2007, by and among the Issuer, Citibank, N.A., as depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners of the ADSs, each representing five ordinary shares of the Issuer, par value $0.00005 per ordinary share, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as further set forth herein;
     WHEREAS, Seller and an affiliate of Broker have entered into that certain Capped Call Transaction Master Confirmation, dated as of or about the date hereof, subject to the form of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency—Cross Border), as supplemented by each of the Confirmations, each dated as of or about the date hereof, in respect of certain capped call transactions (as further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, and together with all schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Capped Call Confirmation”);
     NOW, THEREFORE, Seller and Broker hereby agree as follows:
1. Broker shall effect one or more sales (each, a “Sale”) of the ADSs (the “Shares”) as further set forth in the attached Annex A to this Sales Plan, including, without limitation, subject to the commission set forth therein. All orders will be deemed day orders only and not held unless otherwise specified in Annex A.
2. (i) This Sales Plan shall become effective as of the date hereof; provided that the “Effective Date” under the Capped Call Confirmation shall have occurred and all conditions to effectiveness specified in Section 5(a) of the Capped Call Confirmation shall have been satisfied; and (ii) this Sales Plan shall terminate on the earliest of (a) November 15, 2010, (b) the date on which Broker has sold all Shares specified in Annex A, (c) the date that this Sales Plan is terminated in accordance with paragraph 11 below, or (d) the date Broker receives notice of the dissolution of Seller.
3. (i) Seller understands that Broker may effect Sales hereunder jointly with orders for other sellers of ADSs of the Issuer and that the average price for executions resulting from bunched orders will be assigned to Seller’s account; and (ii) Seller acknowledges that: (a) during the term of this Sales Plan, Broker or its affiliates may buy or sell ADSs, the ordinary shares of the Issuer represented by the ADSs or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to establish, adjust or unwind the hedge position of Broker’s affiliate with respect to the Capped Call Confirmation; (b) Broker and its affiliates may also be active in the market for the ADSs or the ordinary shares of the Issuer represented by the ADSs other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Capped Call Confirmation; (c) Broker’s affiliate party to the Capped Call Confirmation shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities in the Issuer’s securities shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk with respect to the Capped Call Confirmation; (d) any market activities of Broker and its affiliates with respect to the ADSs or the ordinary shares of the Issuer represented by the ADSs may affect the market price and volatility of such ADSs or such ordinary shares, each in a manner that may be adverse to Seller; and (e) Broker and/or its affiliates may purchase and/or sell ADSs or the ordinary shares of the Issuer represented by the ADSs for its own account at an average price that may be greater than, or less than, the price assigned to Seller’s account in respect of the Sales.
4. Seller represents and warrants that Seller is not aware of material, nonpublic information with respect to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer (including the ADSs) and is entering into this Sales Plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.
5. It is the intent of the parties that this Sales Plan comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act and this Sales Plan shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. Seller has consulted with Seller’s own advisors as to the legal and tax aspects of Seller’s adoption and implementation of this Sales Plan.
 
***   Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets and asterisks, has been omitted and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 


 

6. Seller represents that the Shares are “restricted securities” and/or that Seller may be deemed an “affiliate” of the Issuer as those terms are defined under Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Seller shall not take, and shall not cause any person or entity with which he or she would be required to aggregate sales of ADSs pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) or (e) of Rule 144 to take, any action that would cause the Sales not to comply with Rule 144. Seller has provided Broker with an executed Form 144 with respect to the aggregate number of Shares subject to this Sales Plan (as specified in Annex A) and, upon Broker’s request, shall promptly provide Broker with any additional Forms 144, which Broker will complete and file on behalf of Seller. Seller understands and agrees that unless otherwise agreed or instructed, Broker will generally make one Form 144 filing as necessary at the beginning of each three-month period commencing prior to the first Sale to be effected pursuant to this Sales Plan. Such Form 144 shall specify that the Sales are being effected in accordance with a Sales Plan intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. Seller agrees to provide Broker with such information as is reasonably necessary for Broker accurately and timely to complete the Forms 144.
7. Seller represents and warrants that Seller is currently permitted on the dates set forth in Annex A, and, subject to Section 10 below, the days immediately following such dates, to sell the Shares as set forth in Annex A in accordance with the Issuer’s insider trading policies and has obtained the approval of the Issuer’s counsel to enter into this Sales Plan and that, other than any requirements under Rule 144 set forth herein, on the date of such Sales there will be no contractual, regulatory, or other restrictions applicable to the Sales contemplated under this Sales Plan that would interfere with Broker’s ability to execute Sales and effect delivery and settlement of such Sales on behalf of Seller, other than restrictions with respect to which Seller has obtained all required consents, approvals and waivers. Seller shall notify Broker immediately in the event that any of the above statements become inaccurate prior to the termination of this Sales Plan.
8. Seller will not directly or indirectly communicate any information relating to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer (including the ADSs) to any employee of Broker or its affiliates who is directly or indirectly involved in executing this Sales Plan at any time while this Sales Plan is in effect.
9. Seller shall make all filings, if any, required under Sections 13(d) and 16 of the Exchange Act.
10. Seller understands that Broker may not effect a Sale, or effect a Sale with respect to a number of Shares that is less than the number specified for any day in Annex A, due to a market disruption or a legal, regulatory or contractual restriction applicable to Broker (a “Disruption Event”). Seller also understands that even in the absence of a Disruption Event, Broker may be unable to effect Sales consistent with ordinary principles of best execution due to insufficient volume of trading in the ADSs or failure of the ADSs to reach and sustain a limit order price on the date of a Sale set forth in Annex A (all such Sales not effected, the “Unfilled Sales”). Any Unfilled Sales, and any Sales that would have been executed in accordance with the terms of Annex A but are not executed due to the existence of a Disruption Event or Issuer Restriction (as defined below), shall be executed on any days immediately following the days specified in Annex A, in the amounts determined by Broker in its sole discretion, or, if Broker determines that such execution on any days immediately following the days specified in Annex A cannot be completed in a commercially reasonable maner, be deemed to be cancelled, and shall not be effected pursuant to this Sales Plan.
     Broker agrees that if the Issuer enters into a transaction that imposes trading restrictions on Seller applicable to a sales plan intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act, such as a stock offering requiring an affiliate lock-up (an “Issuer Restriction”), and if the Issuer and Seller shall provide Broker at least three (3) business days’ prior notice of such trading restrictions, then Broker will cease effecting Sales under this Sales Plan until notified by the Issuer and Seller that such restrictions have terminated. All required notifications to Broker under this paragraph 10 shall be made in writing (signed by Seller and the Issuer) and confirmed by telephone as follows: (Attn: Ross Hiatt, Equity Capital Markets; Email: ross.hiatt@gs.com; Tel: 852 2978 1025). Broker shall resume effecting Sales in accordance with this Sales Plan as soon as practicable after the cessation or termination of a Disruption Event or Issuer Restriction.
11. This Sales Plan and its enforcement, and each transaction entered into hereunder and all matters arising in connection with this Sales Plan and transactions hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its choice of law doctrine. This Sales Plan may be modified, terminated or amended only by a writing signed by the parties hereto, which the Issuer has reviewed and not

objected to, and provided that any such modification, termination or amendment shall only be permitted at a time when Seller is otherwise permitted to effect sales under the Issuer’s trading policies and at a time when Seller is not aware of material nonpublic information concerning the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer (including the ADSs). In the event of a modification or amendment to this Sales Plan, or in the event Seller establishes a new plan after termination of this Sales Plan, no sales of Shares shall be effected during the thirty (30) calendar days immediately following such modification, amendment or termination (other than Sales already provided for in this Sales Plan prior to such modification, amendment or termination).
12. Seller agrees that Broker and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “Broker Persons”) shall not have any liability whatsoever to Seller for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with this Sales Plan, the making of any Sale, or any amendment, modification or termination of this Sales Plan, unless such liability is determined in a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Broker Person. Seller further agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to hold each Broker Person free and harmless from any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred or sustained by such Broker Person in connection with or arising out of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Sales Plan, any Sale or any amendment, modification or termination of this Sales Plan (each an “Action”) and to reimburse each Broker Person for its expenses, as they are incurred, in connection with any Action, unless such loss, damage, liability or expense is determined in a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to be solely the result of such Broker Person’s fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. This paragraph 12 shall survive termination of this Sales Plan.
