Chaview Adjustment Shares = X x 40% (adjusted to eliminate fractional shares)
X = ( Adjusted Equity Share % x [A + X + B] ) — B

12


 

Where:
         
X
  =   All adjustment shares for Dynasty, Swift Rise and Chaview
 
       
A
  =   Total number of Ordinary Shares of the Company outstanding immediately after the Chaview Closing + 7,500,000
 
       
B
  =   12,500,000
 
       
Adjusted Equity Share %
  =   US$50 million / Adjusted Post-money Valuation
 
       
Adjusted Post-money Valuation
  =   US$280 million x (2008 Net Income / US$25 million)
          (c) For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment will be made if the 2008 Net Income is equal or greater than US$25 million.
          (d) The terms and conditions relating to the Series A Preferred Shares are more particularly described in the Articles and Association of the Company.
