This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is being filed jointly by Dong Yu (the “Founder”), Vantage Global Holdings Ltd (“Vantage”) and Skillgreat Limited (“Skillgreat”, and together with the Founder and Vantage, the “Reporting Persons”) relating to the ordinary shares, par value $0.0005 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), each Ordinary Share represented by two American depositary shares (the “ADSs”), of Bona Film Group Limited (the “Issuer”), an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. This Amendment amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 25, 2012 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on October 9, 2013, the “Original Statement”) by the Reporting Persons. Only those items in the Original Statement amended by this Amendment are reported herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have their respective meanings given to them in the Original Statement.

 

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following paragraphs:

 

“The information set forth in Items 4 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.

 

To finance the purchase of the Fox Shares (as defined below), Skillgreat used a combination of the proceeds from (i) the sale of Fosun Shares (as defined below) under the Fosun Share Purchase Agreement (as defined below) for an aggregate purchase price of US$49,157,926.80 (the “Fosun Aggregate Purchase Price”), and (ii) a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of US$22,232,863.80 (the “Loan Principal Amount”) granted by Fosun International Holdings Limited., an affiliate of Fosun (as defined below) (the “Lender”) pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as defined below).

 

On July 13, 2014, the Founder, Skillgreat, Fidelidade – Companhia de Seguros, S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of Portugal (the “Investor”) and Fosun International Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“Fosun”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Fosun Share Purchase Agreement”). Under the terms of the Fosun Share Purchase Agreement, Skillgreat agreed to sell to the Investor, and the Investor agreed to purchase, an aggregate of 4,165,926 Ordinary Shares (the “Fosun Shares”) at a price of US$11.80 per share (equivalent to US$5.90 per ADS), equal to the Fosun Aggregate Purchase Price. The closing under the Fosun Share Purchase Agreement occurred on July 24, 2014 (the “Closing Date”).

 

On July 23, 2014, the Founder, Skillgreat and the Lender entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to make  a term loan to Skillgreat in the Loan Principal Amount, bearing interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum. The Loan has an initial term of one year, which can be extended for six months at the election of Skillgreat. Skillgreat’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Founder and secured by an equitable share mortgage pursuant to an equitable share mortgage agreement entered into on July 23, 2014 by and between Skillgreat and the Lender (the “Share Mortgage Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Mortgage Agreement, Skillgreat agreed to initially mortgage in favor of the Lender all of its right, title and interest in and to 2,250,711 Ordinary Shares owned by it. In addition, in the event that the listed ADS market price on the NASDAQ Global Select Market falls below a certain threshold, Skillgreat will be obligated to mortgage an additional number of Ordinary Shares such that the value of the collateral, calculated by reference to the volume weighted average closing price over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of such new mortgage, is at least 1.25 times the Aggregate Principal Amount outstanding at such time. In the even that an Event of Default (as defined under the Loan Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may, among other things, declare all unpaid Loan Principal Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest, due and payable, and/or exercise its right under the Share Mortgage Agreement, including its rights of enforcement of the collateral.  References to the Loan Agreement and the Share Mortgage Agreement set forth herein are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement and the Share Mortgage Agreement, which are filed hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and Exhibit 99.4, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.”

 

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following paragraphs:

 



 

“The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in this Item 4

 

On July 13, 2014, the Founder, Skillgreat and 21st Century Fox America, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Fox”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Fox Share Purchase Agreement”).  Under the terms of the Fox Share Purchase Agreement, Skillgreat agreed to purchase from Fox an aggregate of 6,050,067 Ordinary Shares (the “Fox Shares”) for a price of US$11.80 per share (equivalent to US$5.90 per ADS), equal to an aggregate purchase price of US$71,390,790.60. The closing of the transactions contemplated under the Fox Share Purchase Agreement (the “Fox Closing”) occurred on July 23, 2014.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Fosun Share Purchase Agreement, the Founder and Skillgreat agreed, for as long as Fosun beneficially owns at least 5% of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares on a fully-diluted basis, to use their best efforts to support the election and re-election of an individual designated by the Investor to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) and to one or more committees of the Board, subject to applicable legal limitations.

 

Under the Fosun Share Purchase Agreement, Fosun and the Investor agreed to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company with respect to certain business activities and relationships.

 

On June 10, 2014, Skillgreat entered into a 10b5-1 stock trading plan (the “Stock Trading Plan”) with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”) pursuant to which Credit Suisse was appointed by Skillgreat to sell on behalf of Skillgreat up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 ADSs, commencing from June 30, 2014 and ending June 30, 2015. The sale of ADSs pursuant to the Stock Trading Plan will also be subject to all limitations, including  manner of sale and volume limitations, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  As of  July 23, 2014, Skillgreat has sold an aggregate of 482,581 ADSs under the Stock Trading Plan. References to the Stock Trading Plan set forth herein are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Trading Plan, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 99.5.”

 

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

The first and second paragraphs of Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

“(a) and (b) The information set forth in the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference. After the closing of all the transactions described in this Amendment, Skillgreat will be the record owner of 9,330,992 Ordinary Shares, which includes (i) 138,850 Ordinary Shares underlying options that have been issued to Skillgreat on behalf of the Founder, and (ii) 194,345 Ordinary Shares held by Skillgreat Limited for other persons. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the 194,345 Ordinary Shares held by Skillgreat on behalf of others.

 

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) with the Investor and Fosun with respect to the matters described in Item 4 and 6 of this Schedule 13D.  As of July 24, 2014, Fosun and the Investor beneficially owned 6,517,085 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 20.8% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Each Reporting Person hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Fosun and the Investor. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Ordinary Shares of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by the Investor or Fosun or is a member of any a group with the Investor or Fosun”

 

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 is hereby amended to add at the end thereof the following paragraphs:

 

“The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in this Item 6

 

Under the Fosun Share Purchase Agreement, each of the Founder, Skillgreat and the Investor has agreed that he or it shall not, during the six months after the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of any ADSs or any Ordinary Share or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any ADSs or Ordinary Shares, except the Founder and Skillgreat may dispose of ADSs or Ordinary Shares pursuant to any trading plan established prior to the date of the Fosun Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. In addition, the Founder granted Fosun a right of first refusal with respect to any voluntary sale of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Founder after he is no longer employed by the Company and is no longer a director of the Board due to certain reasons, subject to certain exceptions.  Such right of first refusal will terminate as soon as Fosun beneficially owns less than 5% of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares on a fully-diluted basis.

 



 

Under the Fosun Share Purchase Agreement, Fosun and the Investor agreed to support the appointment of the Founder as the chief executive officer and the chairman of the Board and the exercise by the Founder, as chief executive officer, of management power with respect to the Company, including without limitation supporting the appointment of senior officers nominated by the Founder.  In addition, Fosun and the Investor agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to support the future debt and equity financing activities of the Company.  With respect to any financing proposals, Fosun (i) will advise each director on the Board nominated by it or any of its affiliates to vote in the same manner as the Founder, and (ii) will cause all voting securities of the Issuer held or beneficially owned by it to be voted, in the same manner as Skillgreat, which manner shall be, in the Founder’s best judgment, commercially reasonable to the Company. References to the Fosun Share Purchase Agreement set forth in this Amendment are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Fosun Share Purchase Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Under the Fox Share Purchase Agreement, the parties agreed, subject to consent by the Issuer, to terminate the Investor Rights Agreement (as amended) effective upon the Fox Closing, except that the registration rights provided therein will survive such termination (the “Termination”).  In addition, Fosun agreed, subject to consent by the Issuer, to assign such registration rights to Skillgreat, effective immediately following the Fox Closing (the “Assignment”). The Issuer consented in writing to the Termination and the Assignment on July 17, 2014.  References to the Fox Share Purchase Agreement set forth in this Amendment are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Fox Share Purchase Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and which is incorporated herein by reference.”

Seller shall not (i) have liability under Section 6.02(a) in excess of the Purchase Price actually received by Seller, (ii) be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party to the extent of any such excess or (iii) have any liability to the extent the liability arises out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply to any Losses arising out of actual fraud by Seller in connection with this Agreement.

 

Section 6.02    Indemnification by Purchaser.  From and after the Closing, each of Purchaser and Mr. Dong Yu shall be jointly liable for and shall indemnify Seller and its Affiliates and Representatives (the “Seller Indemnitees”) against and hold it harmless from any Loss suffered or incurred by such Seller Indemnitee resulting from, arising out of or in

Neither the Purchaser nor Mr. Dong Yu shall (i) have any liability under this Section 6.02 in excess of the Purchase Price, (ii) be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party to the extent of any such excess or (iii) have any liability to the extent the liability arises out of any action taken or omitted to be taken by Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this sentence shall not apply to any Losses arising out of actual fraud by Purchaser or Mr. Yong Du in connection with this Agreement.

 

Section 6.03    Calculation of Losses.  (a)  The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy or against any third party with respect to such Loss.  If an Indemnified Party recovers under any insurance policy or against any third party, with respect to any Loss for which an Indemnifying Party has actually made an indemnification payment pursuant to this Article VI such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered but not in excess of the amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim.

 

(b)  Survival of Representations and Warranties and Agreements; Termination of Indemnification.  Article II (Representations and Warranties Relating to Seller and the Shares), Article III (Representations and Warranties Relating to Purchaser and Mr. Dong Yu), Article VI (Indemnification) and Article VII (General Provisions) shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

 

Section 6.04  Procedures.  (a)  Third Party Claims.  In order for a Person (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 6.01 (Indemnification by Seller) or Section 6.02 (Indemnification by Purchaser) in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person not a party hereto against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such Third Party Claim (setting forth in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) and the amount or estimated amount (to the extent reasonably estimable) of Losses arising out of such Third Party Claim) promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Claim.  Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim (“Document Delivery”).

 

9



 

(b)        Assumption.  If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and (unless the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party provides the Indemnifying Party with written advice of outside counsel to the Indemnified Party to the effect that there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party that, if the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party were to be represented by the same counsel, would constitute a conflict of interest for such counsel or prejudice the prosecution of the defenses available to such Indemnified Party (“Conflict of Interest”)), if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall give written notice within ten Business Days of Document Delivery, indicating whether the Indemnifying Party intends to participate in or assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, and if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge that it has, and shall be deemed to have, accepted and agreed to its indemnification obligations for such claim.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. Any such participation or assumption shall not constitute a waiver by any party of any attorney-client privilege in connection with such Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.04(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party), at its own expense (except in the case of a Conflict of Interest in which case the Indemnifying Party shall bear legal expenses related to the Indemnified Party’s counsel), separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense.  If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim for the purpose of providing additional information, explanation or testimony in connection with such Third Party Claim.  Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  If the Indemnifying Party participates in or assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense or fails to make any election within the ten Business Day period, or otherwise fails to continue the defense of the Indemnified Person reasonably and in good faith, the Indemnified Person may, following written notice to the Indemnifying Party and an additional ten Business Day period during which the parties will seek in good faith to resolve their differences regarding the defense, assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and a recovery against the Indemnified Party suffered by it in good faith shall be conclusive in its favor against the Indemnifying Party.

 

10



 

(c)        Other Claims.  In the event any Indemnified Party has a claim against any Indemnifying Party under Section 6.01 (Indemnification by Seller) or Section 6.02 (Indemnification by Purchaser) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party (setting forth in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such claim (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) and the amount or estimated amount (to the extent reasonably estimable) of Losses arising out of such claim) promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) after becoming aware of such claim.

 

(d)       Mitigation.  Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making all reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability after such party gains actual knowledge of such claim or liability.  In the event that Purchaser or any Seller fails to make such reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability in violation of the preceding sentence, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other party shall not be required to indemnify any Person for any Loss that would reasonably be expected to have been avoided if Purchaser or such Seller, as the case may be, had made such efforts.

There shall be one (1) arbitrator. There shall be one arbitrator agreed to by the Parties, and if they cannot so agree on such arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of the commencement of the arbitration proceedings, three arbitrators shall be appointed. In such case, one arbitrator shall be nominated by the Party or Parties, as the case may be, commencing the arbitration proceedings (the “Claimant Side”), and one arbitrator shall be nominated by the respondent or respondents, as the case may be, to the proceedings (the “Respondent Side), and if either the Claimant Side or the Respondent Side shall fail to nominate its arbitrator, the HKIAC shall appoint such arbitrator. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator, provided that if such two arbitrators shall fail to choose a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after such two arbitrators have been selected, the HKIAC shall appoint the third arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall be the presiding arbitrator. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint arbitrators who are qualified to practice law in the State of New York.

 

(c)        The arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in English. To the extent that the HKIAC Rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 8.11, including the provisions concerning the appointment of the arbitrators, the provisions of this Section 8.11 shall prevail.

 

(d)        Each Party to the arbitration shall cooperate with each other Party to the arbitration in making full disclosure of and providing complete access to all information and documents requested by such other Party in connection with such arbitral proceedings, subject only to any confidentiality obligations binding on such Party.

 

(e)        The arbitration shall be conducted in private. Each Party agrees that all documents and evidence submitted in the arbitration (including without limitation any statements of case and any interim or final award, as well as the fact that an arbitral award has been made) shall remain confidential both during and after any final award that is rendered unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing.

 

(f)        The award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto, and the prevailing Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award.

 

28



 

(g)        The arbitral tribunal shall decide any Dispute submitted by the parties to the arbitration strictly in accordance with the substantive Laws of the State of New York (without regard to principles of conflict of Laws thereunder) and shall not apply any other substantive Law.

 

(h)        Any Party to the Dispute shall be entitled to seek preliminary injunctive relief, if possible, from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the constitution of the arbitral tribunal.

 

(i)         During the course of the arbitral tribunals adjudication of the Dispute, this Agreement shall continue to be performed except with respect to the part in dispute and under adjudication.

 

(j)         The Parties to this Agreement agree to the consolidation of arbitrations under the Transaction Documents in accordance with the following:

 

(i)         In the event of two or more arbitrations having been commenced under any of the Transaction Documents, the tribunal in the arbitration first filed (the “Principal Tribunal) may in its sole discretion, upon the application of any party to the arbitrations, order that the proceedings be consolidated before the Principal Tribunal if (A) there are issues of fact and/or law common to the arbitrations, (B) the interests of justice and efficiency would be served by such a consolidation, and (C) no prejudice would be caused to any party in any material respect as a result of such consolidation, whether through undue delay or otherwise. Such application shall be made as soon as practicable and the party making such application shall give notice to the other parties to the arbitrations.

 

(ii)        The Principal Tribunal shall be empowered to (but shall not be obliged to) order at its discretion, after inviting written (and where desired oral) representations from the parties that all or any of such arbitrations shall be consolidated or heard together and/or that the arbitrations be heard immediately after another and shall establish a procedure accordingly. All Parties shall take such steps as are necessary to give effect and force to any orders of the Principal Tribunal.

 

(iii)       If the Principal Tribunal makes an order for consolidation, it: (A) shall thereafter, to the exclusion of other arbitral tribunals, have jurisdiction to resolve all disputes forming part of the consolidation order; (B) shall order that notice of the consolidation order and its effect be given immediately to any arbitrators already appointed in relation to the disputes that were consolidated under the consolidation order; and (C) may also give such directions as it considers appropriate (x) to give effect to the consolidation and make provision for any costs which may result from it (including costs in any arbitration rendered functus officio under this Section 8.11); and (y) to ensure the proper organization of the arbitration proceedings and that all the issues between the parties are properly formulated and resolved.

 

(iv)       Upon the making of the consolidation order, any appointment of arbitrators relating to arbitrations that have been consolidated by the Principal Tribunal (except for the appointment of the arbitrators of the Principal Tribunal itself) shall for all purposes cease to have effect and such arbitrators are deemed to be functus officio, on and from the date of the consolidation order. Such cessation is without prejudice to (A) the validity of any acts done or orders made by such arbitrators before termination, (B) such arbitrators entitlement to be paid their proper fees and disbursements and (C) the date when any claim or defence was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation period or any like rule or provision.

 

(v)        The Parties hereby waive any objections they may have as to the validity and/or enforcement of any arbitral awards made by the Principal Tribunal following the consolidation of disputes or arbitral proceedings in accordance with this Section 8.11 where such objections are based solely on the fact that consolidation of the same has occurred.

Section 11.             Guaranty.

 

(a)                               Guaranty.  Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of the indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of Borrower to Lender when due under or in connection with this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all unpaid principal, all interest accrued thereon, all fees due to Lender and all other amounts payable by Borrower to Lender thereunder or in connection therewith, and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against Borrower of any action, case or proceeding involving insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, liquidation, winding up or dissolution under any applicable laws with respect thereto (an “Insolvency Proceeding”).  The foregoing indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of Borrower, and all other indebtedness, liabilities and obligations to be paid or performed by Guarantor in connection with this Guaranty (including any and all amounts due under Section 10 hereof), shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations.”

 

(b)                              Liability of Guarantor.  The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance which might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Guaranteed Obligations.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, Guarantor agrees as follows:  (i) Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon Lender’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against Borrower or any Person, or against any collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectibility; (iii) Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and (iv) Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by, nor shall Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, (A) any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person; (B) any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person for any Guaranteed Obligations due to any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (C) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor or Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor or other Person; (D) any assignment or

 

8



 

other transfer, in whole or in part, of Lender’s interests in and rights under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, Lender’s right to receive payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Lender’s interests in and to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations; (E) any claim, defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than that of prior performance, that Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor or other Person may have or assert, including, without limitation, any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute or deliver any Loan Document or this Guaranty or any other document related thereto; (F) any direction of application of payment to Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor or other Person; and (G) Lender’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any bankruptcy case related to the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

(c)                               Consents.  Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from Guarantor and in each case in accordance with the terms of the relevant Loan Document:  (i) the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document may be extended or changed, including by an increase or decrease in the interest rate on any Guaranteed Obligation or any fee or other amount payable under such Loan Document, by a modification or renewal of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) the time for Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as Lender may deem proper; (iii) Lender may discharge or release, in whole or in part, any other guarantor or any other Person liable for the payment and performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may permit or consent to any such action or any result of such action, and Lender shall not be liable to Guarantor for any failure to collect or enforce payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) Lender may take and hold security of any kind, at any time, as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; (v) Lender may request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend any such guaranty and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action; and (vi) Lender may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege granted by any Loan Document, or otherwise available to Lender, with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and any collateral therefor, even if the exercise of such right, remedy, power or privilege affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of Guarantor against Borrower; all as Lender may deem advisable, and all without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting this Guaranty.

 

(d)                              Waivers.  (A) Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert:  (i) any right to require Lender to proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any collateral or other security held for the Guaranteed Obligations (except to the extent required by applicable law), to give notice of or institute any public or private sale, foreclosure, or other disposition of any collateral or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, to comply with applicable provisions of the New York Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) or any equivalent provision of any other applicable law in connection with the sale, foreclosure, or other disposition of any collateral or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Lender whatsoever; (ii) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person; and (ii) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims.  (B) Guarantor waives any and all notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the reliance by Lender upon this Guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.  The Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this Guaranty.  Guarantor

 

9



 

waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.  (C) The Guaranteed Obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower and any other guarantor and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, a separate action or actions may be brought against Guarantor, whether or not Borrower or any such other guarantor is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower or any such other guarantor.  (D) Guarantor shall not have any right to require Lender to obtain or disclose any information with respect to (i) the financial condition or character of Borrower or the ability of Borrower to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any collateral or other security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any action or inaction on the part of Lender or any other Person; or (vi) any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever.

 

(e)                               Subrogation.  Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied in full, Guarantor shall not have, and shall not directly or indirectly exercise, (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment hereunder or otherwise, (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Guaranty, or (iii) any other right which it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) which could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of the Lender as against Borrower or other guarantors, whether in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise.  If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when any Guaranteed Obligations are outstanding, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

(f)                                Continuing Guaranty.  Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty is a continuing guaranty relating to any Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist.  This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of Borrower shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Lender, whether as a result of any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise.  To the extent any payment is rescinded or restored, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be revived in full force and effect without reduction or discharge for such payment.

 

(g)                               Payments. Guarantor hereby agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Guaranty and not in limitation of any other right which Lender or any other Person may have against Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under §362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), Guarantor shall forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Lender an amount equal to the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid (including interest which, but for the filing of a petition in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to Borrower, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in any such Insolvency Proceeding).  All payments made by Guarantor hereunder may be applied in such order as Lender shall elect.  Guarantor shall make each payment hereunder, without deduction (whether for taxes or otherwise), set-off or counterclaim, on the day when due in same day or immediately available funds, and in U.S. dollars.

(h)                              Knowing and Explicit Waivers.  Guarantor acknowledges that it has either obtained the advice of legal counsel or has had the opportunity to obtain such advice in connection with the terms and provisions of this Guaranty.  Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein, including, without limitation, those contained in Sections 11(b) through (d), are made with full knowledge of their significance and consequences.  Additionally, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that by executing this Guaranty, it is waiving certain rights, benefits, protections and defenses to which it may otherwise be entitled under applicable law, and that all such waivers herein are explicit, knowing waivers.  Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees that Lender is relying on such waivers in creating the Guaranteed Obligations, and that such waivers are a material part of the consideration which Lender is receiving for creating the Guaranteed Obligations.

(d)                              No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to the Lender.

 

(e)                               Time is of the essence for the performance of each and every obligation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(f)                                Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations.  If, however, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

(g)                               This Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Borrower, Guarantor and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

 

(h)                              Each of Borrower and Guarantor shall not have the right to assign its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of the Lender.  The Lender may sell, assign, transfer or grant participations in all or any portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliate, provided that no such assignment shall relieve the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.  In the event of any such assignment, the assignee shall be deemed the “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and any other documents and instruments relating hereto with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to it.  Each of Borrower and Guarantor agrees that in connection with any such grant or assignment, the Lender may deliver to the prospective participant or assignee financial statements and other relevant information relating to Borrower or Guarantor.

 

(i)                                  This Agreement is secured by the Collateral.

(j)                                  THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

 

(k)                              Dispute Resolution.

 

(i)                                  Any dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination, validity or invalidity thereof, shall be referred to arbitration upon the demand of any Party to the dispute with notice (the “Arbitration Notice”) to the other Parties.

 

(ii)                              The Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules (the “HKIAC Rules”) in force when the Arbitration Notice is submitted in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. There shall be one (1) arbitrator. There shall be one arbitrator agreed to by the Parties, and if they cannot so agree on such arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of the commencement of the arbitration proceedings, three arbitrators shall be appointed. In such case, one arbitrator shall be nominated by the Party or Parties, as the case may be, commencing the arbitration proceedings (the “Claimant Side”), and one arbitrator shall be nominated by the respondent or respondents, as the case may be, to the proceedings (the “Respondent Side”), and if either the Claimant Side or the Respondent Side shall fail to nominate its arbitrator, the HKIAC shall appoint such arbitrator. The two arbitrators so chosen shall select a third arbitrator, provided that if such two arbitrators shall fail to choose a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days after such two arbitrators have been selected, the HKIAC shall appoint the third arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall be the presiding arbitrator. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint arbitrators who are qualified to practice law in the State of New York.

 

(iii)                          The arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in English. To the extent that the HKIAC Rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 12(k), including the provisions concerning the appointment of the arbitrators, the provisions of this Section 12(k) shall prevail.

 

(iv)                          Each Party to the arbitration shall cooperate with each other Party to the arbitration in making full disclosure of and providing complete access to all information and documents requested by such other Party in connection with such arbitral proceedings, subject only to any confidentiality obligations binding on such Party.

 

(v)                              The arbitration shall be conducted in private. Each Party agrees that all documents and evidence submitted in the arbitration (including without limitation any statements of case and any interim or final award, as well as the fact that an arbitral award has been made) shall remain confidential both during and after any final award that is rendered unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing.

 

(vi)                          The award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto, and the prevailing Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award.

 

(vii)                      The arbitral tribunal shall decide any Dispute submitted by the parties to the arbitration strictly in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York (without regard to principles of conflict of laws thereunder) and shall not apply any other substantive law.

 

13



 

(viii)                  Any Party to the Dispute shall be entitled to seek preliminary injunctive relief, if possible, from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the constitution of the arbitral tribunal.

 

(ix)                          During the course of the arbitral tribunal’s adjudication of the Dispute, this Agreement shall continue to be performed except with respect to the part in dispute and under adjudication.

 

(x)                              The Parties to this Agreement agree to the consolidation of arbitrations under the Loan Documents in accordance with the following:

 

(A)                           In the event of two or more arbitrations having been commenced under any of the Loan Documents, the tribunal in the arbitration first filed (the “Principal Tribunal”) may in its sole discretion, upon the application of any party to the arbitrations, order that the proceedings be consolidated before the Principal Tribunal if (A) there are issues of fact and/or law common to the arbitrations, (B) the interests of justice and efficiency would be served by such a consolidation, and (C) no prejudice would be caused to any party in any material respect as a result of such consolidation, whether through undue delay or otherwise. Such application shall be made as soon as practicable and the party making such application shall give notice to the other parties to the arbitrations.

 

(B)                            The Principal Tribunal shall be empowered to (but shall not be obliged to) order at its discretion, after inviting written (and where desired oral) representations from the parties that all or any of such arbitrations shall be consolidated or heard together and/or that the arbitrations be heard immediately after another and shall establish a procedure accordingly.

6.5                              Until the Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably satisfied and discharged in full to, the Mortgagee may at any time keep in a separate account or accounts (without liability to pay interest thereon) in the name of the Mortgagee for as long as it may think fit, any moneys received recovered or realised under this Mortgage or under any other guarantee, security or agreement relating in whole or in part to the Secured Obligations without being under any intermediate obligation to apply the same or any part thereof in or towards the discharge of the Secured Obligations or any other amount owing or payable under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that the Mortgagee shall be obliged to apply amounts standing to the credit of such account or accounts once the aggregate amount held by the Mortgagee in any such account or accounts opened pursuant hereto is sufficient to satisfy the outstanding amount of the Secured Obligations in full.

 

6.6                              The Mortgagor shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee:

 

8



 

(a)                                 no rights attaching to the Mortgaged Property is varied or abrogated in a manner that is adverse to the interest of the Mortgagee;

 

(b)                                no Mortgaged Property is consolidated, sub-divided or converted or the capital of the Company to be re-organised, exchanged or repaid in a manner that is adverse to the interest of the Mortgagee; or

 

(c)                                 nothing is done which may depreciate, jeopardise or otherwise prejudice the value of the security hereby given.

 

6.7                              The Mortgagor hereby covenants that during the Security Period it will remain the legal and beneficial owner of the Mortgaged Property (subject to the Security Interests hereby created) and that it will not:

 

(a)                                 create or suffer the creation of any Security Interests (other than those created by this Mortgage) or any other interest on or in respect of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property or any of its interest therein other than any interest that may be granted to the Mortgagee; or

 

(b)                                sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its interest in the Mortgaged Property without the prior consent in writing of the Mortgagee.

 

6.8                              The Mortgagor shall remain liable to perform all the obligations assumed by it in relation to the Mortgaged Property and the Mortgagee shall be under no obligation of any kind whatsoever in respect thereof or be under any liability whatsoever in the event of any failure the Mortgagor to perform its obligations in respect thereof.

 

6.9                              The Mortgagor shall ensure that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, use its voting rights to permit the Company to amend its memorandum or articles of association in a way which could be expected to adversely affect the interests of the Mortgagee.

 

6.10                       The Mortgagor shall procure that the Company shall not:

(f)                                   purchase, redeem, otherwise acquire, cancel, amalgamate, reclassify or otherwise restructure any of the Mortgaged Property, other than in connection with transactions: (i) that equally affect all shareholders of BONA holding the same class of shares as that of the Mortgaged Shares, and (ii) whereby any securities (including additional capital stock or other equity securities or other interests in BONA), property, interest, dividends and other payments and distributions issued as an addition to, in redemption of, in renewal or exchange for, in substitution or upon conversion of, or otherwise on account of, such Mortgaged Property shall be mortgaged to the Mortgagee pursuant to a share mortgage on the same terms and conditions (applying mutatis mutandis) as this Mortgage.

 

during the Security Period without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.

 

9



 

6.11                       The Mortgagor shall procure that the Company shall register any transfer of the Mortgaged Shares made in compliance with the then-effective memorandum and articles of association of the Company and all applicable law by the Mortgagee or its nominee to any other person pursuant to the exercise of the Mortgagee’s rights under this Mortgage.

 

7.                                     ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY

 

7.1                              At any time after, and only after, the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the security hereby constituted shall become immediately enforceable and the rights of enforcement of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall be immediately exercisable upon and at any time thereafter and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the Mortgagee without further notice to the Mortgagor may, whether acting on its own behalf or through a receiver or agent:

(d)                                take possession of, get in, assign, exchange, sell, transfer, grant options over or otherwise dispose of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof at such place and in such manner and at such price or prices as the Mortgagee may deem fit, provided that the sale of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner and conducted in conformity with commercially reasonable practices, and thereupon the Mortgagee shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer in accordance therewith the Mortgaged Property so sold, transferred, granted options over or otherwise disposed of including by way of changing the ownership of the Mortgaged Shares as shown on the Register of Members;

10



 

(i)                                     exercise and do (or permit the Mortgagor or any nominee of the Mortgagor to exercise and do) all such rights and things as the Mortgagee would be capable of exercising or doing if it were the absolute beneficial owner of the Mortgaged Property;

 

(j)                                     do anything else it may think fit for the realisation of the Mortgaged Property or incidental to the exercise of any of the rights conferred on the Mortgagee under or by virtue of any document to which any of the Mortgagor is party; and

 

(k)                                  exercise all rights and remedies afforded to it under this Mortgage and applicable law.

 

7.2                              The Mortgagee shall not be obliged to make any enquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it under this Mortgage or to make any claim or to take any action to collect any moneys assigned by this Mortgage or to enforce any rights or benefits assigned to the Mortgagee by this Mortgage or to which the Mortgagee may at any time be entitled hereunder.

 

7.3                              Upon any sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof by the Mortgagee, the purchaser shall not be bound to see or enquire whether the Mortgagee’s power of sale has become exercisable in the manner provided in this Mortgage and the sale shall be deemed to be within the power of the Mortgagee, and the receipt of the Mortgagee for the purchase money shall effectively discharge the purchaser who shall not be concerned with the manner of application of the proceeds of sale or be in any way answerable therefor.

 

7.4                              Any money received or realised under the powers conferred by this Mortgage shall be paid or applied in the following order of priority, subject to the discharge of any prior-ranking claims:

 

(a)                                 FIRST:  in or towards the payment of all costs, expenses, fees and remuneration of the Mortgagee or any receiver incurred pursuant to or in connection with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents or this Mortgage;

(c)                                 THIRD:  as to the surplus (if any), to the Mortgagor.

 

7.5          Until all Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full, the Mortgagee may refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held by it in respect of the Secured Obligations or may apply and enforce such moneys, security or rights in such manner and in such order as it shall decide in its unfettered discretion.

 

7.6                              Neither the Mortgagee nor its agents, managers, officers, employees, delegates and advisers shall be liable for any claim, demand, liability, loss, damage, cost or expense incurred or arising in connection with the exercise or purported exercise of any rights, powers and discretions hereunder in the absence of dishonesty, wilful default, gross negligence or any breach of the terms of this Mortgage.

 

7.7                              The Mortgagee shall not by reason of the taking of possession of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof be liable to account as mortgagee-in-possession or for anything except actual receipts or be liable for any loss upon realisation or for any default or omission for which a mortgagee-in-possession might be liable.

 

8.                                    APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER

 

8.1                              At any time after:

 

(a)                                 the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing; or

 

11



 

(b)                                a request has been made by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee for the appointment of a receiver over its assets or in respect of such Mortgagor,

 

then notwithstanding the terms of any other agreement between the Mortgagor and any person, the Mortgagee may (unless precluded by law) appoint in writing any person or persons to be a receiver or receiver and manager of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagee may choose in its entire discretion.

 

8.2                              Where more than one receiver is appointed, the appointees shall have power to act jointly or separately unless the Mortgagee shall specify to the contrary.

 

8.3                              The Mortgagee may from time to time determine the remuneration of a receiver.

 

8.4                              The Mortgagee may remove a receiver from all or any of the Mortgaged Property of which he/she is the receiver and after the receiver has vacated office or ceased to act in respect of any of the Mortgaged Property, appoint a further receiver over all or any of the Mortgaged Property in respect of which he/she shall have ceased to act.

 

8.5                              Such an appointment of a receiver shall not preclude:

 

(a)                                 the Mortgagee from making any subsequent appointment of a receiver over all or any Mortgaged Property over which a receiver has not previously been appointed or has ceased to act; or

 

(b)                                the appointment of an additional receiver to act while the first receiver continues to act.

 

8.6                              The receiver shall be the agent of the relevant Mortgagor (which shall be solely liable for his/her acts, defaults and remuneration).  The receiver shall not at any time become the agent of the Mortgagee.

 

9.                                    POWERS OF A RECEIVER

 

9.1                              In addition to those powers conferred by law, a receiver shall have and be entitled to exercise in relation to a Mortgagor all the powers set out below:

 

(a)                                 to exercise all rights of the Mortgagee under or pursuant to this Mortgage including all voting and other rights attaching to the Mortgaged Property;

 

(b)                                to make any arrangement or compromise with others as he/she shall think fit;

 

(c)                                 to appoint managers, officers and agents for the above purposes at such remuneration as the receiver may determine;

 

(d)                                to redeem any prior encumbrance and settle and pass the accounts of the encumbrancer and any accounts so settled and passed shall (subject to any manifest error) be conclusive and binding on that Mortgagor and the money so paid shall be deemed an expense properly incurred by the receiver;

 

(e)                                 to pay the proper administrative charges in respect of time spent by his/her agents and employees in dealing with matters raised by the receiver or relating to the receivership of that Mortgagor; and

 

(f)                                   to do all such other acts and things as may be considered by the receiver to be incidental or conducive to any of the above matters or powers or otherwise incidental or conducive

 

12



 

to the preservation, improvement or realisation of the Mortgaged Property or the value thereof.

 

10.                              FURTHER ASSURANCES

 

10.1                       The Mortgagor shall at its own expense promptly do all such acts or execute all such documents (including assignments, transfers, mortgages, charges, notices and instructions) as the Mortgagee may specify and in such form as the Mortgagee may reasonably require in order to:

 

(a)                                 perfect or protect the security created or intended to be created under or evidenced by this Mortgage (which may include the execution of a legal mortgage, charge, assignment or other security over all or any of the assets which are, or are intended to be, the subject of this Mortgage) or for the exercise of any rights, powers and remedies of the Mortgagee provided by or pursuant to this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents or by law;

 

(b)                                confer on the Mortgagee security over any property and assets of such Mortgagor located in any jurisdiction which is (to the extent permitted by local law) equivalent or similar to the security intended to be conferred by or pursuant to this Mortgage; or

 

(c)                                 following an Event of Default, facilitate the realisation of the assets which are, or are intended to be, the subject of this Mortgage.

 

10.2                       Without limiting the other provisions of this Mortgage, the Mortgagor shall at its own expense take all such action as is available to it (including making all filings and registrations) as may be necessary for the purpose of the creation, perfection, protection or maintenance of any security conferred or intended to be conferred on the Mortgagee by or pursuant to this Mortgage.

 

11.                              INDEMNITIES AND PAYMENTS FREE OF DEDUCTIONS

 

11.1                       The Mortgagor will indemnify and save harmless the Mortgagee, any receiver and each agent or attorney appointed under or pursuant to this Mortgage from and against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities, losses, taxes, costs, duties, fees and charges suffered, incurred or made by the Mortgagee or such agent or attorney:

 

(a)                                 in the preservation or enforcement of the Mortgagee’s rights under this Mortgage or the priority thereof; or

 

(b)                                arising out of any breach by the Mortgagor of any term of this Mortgage,

 

and the Mortgagee or such receiver, agent or attorney may retain and pay all sums in respect of the same out of money received under the powers conferred by this Mortgage.  All amounts suffered, incurred or paid by the Mortgagee or such receiver, agent or attorney or any of them shall be recoverable on a full indemnity basis provided that nothing in this Clause 11.1 shall require the Mortgagor to indemnify and save harmless the Mortgagee from and against any expenses, claims, liabilities, losses, taxes, costs, duties, fees and charges suffered, incurred or made by the Mortgagee as a result of the Mortgagee’s dishonesty, wilful default or gross negligence or violation of the terms of this Mortgage.

 

11.2                       If, under any applicable law or regulation, and whether pursuant to a judgment being made or registered against any of the Mortgagor or the bankruptcy or liquidation of any of the Mortgagor or for any other reason any payment under or in connection with this Mortgage is made or fails to be satisfied in a currency (the “Payment Currency”) other than the currency in which such payment is due under or in connection with this Mortgage (the “Contractual Currency”), then to the extent that the amount of such payment actually received by the Mortgagee when converted into the

 

13



 

Contractual Currency at the rate of exchange, falls short of the amount due under or in connection with this Mortgage, the Mortgagor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Mortgagee against the amount of such shortfall. For the purposes of this Clause 11.2, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Mortgagee is able on or about the date of such payment to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency and shall take into account any premium and other costs of exchange with respect thereto.

 

11.3                       All payments to be made to the Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of tax unless the Mortgagor is required to make such payment subject to the deduction or withholding of tax, in which case the sum payable by the Mortgagor in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the person on account of whose liability to tax such deduction or withholding has been made receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.

 

12.                              POWER OF ATTORNEY

 

12.1                       The Mortgagor, by way of security and in order more fully to secure the performance of its obligations hereunder, hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee and the persons deriving title under it (including, but without any limitation, any receiver) jointly and also severally (with full power of substitution and delegation) to be its attorney-in-fact:

 

(a)                                 to execute and complete in favour of the Mortgagee or its nominees or of any purchaser any documents which the Mortgagee may from time to time require for perfecting the Mortgagee’s title to, for vesting any of the assets and property hereby mortgaged or charged in the Mortgagee or its nominees or in any purchaser or for any of the purposes contemplated in Clause 7.1 hereof;

 

(b)                                to give effectual discharges for payments, to take and institute on non-payment (if the Mortgagee in its sole discretion so decides) all steps and proceedings in the name of the relevant Mortgagor or of the Mortgagee for the recovery of such moneys, property and assets hereby mortgaged or charged;

 

(c)                                 to agree accounts and make allowances and give time or other indulgence to any surety or other person liable;

 

(d)                                so as to enable the Mortgagee to carry out in the name of the relevant Mortgagor any obligation imposed on such Mortgagor by this Mortgage (including the execution and delivery of any deeds, charges, assignments or other security and any transfers of the Mortgaged Property and the exercise of all the Mortgagor’ rights and discretions in relation to the Mortgaged Property);

 

(e)                                 so as to enable the Mortgagee and any receiver or other person to exercise, or delegate the exercise of, any of the rights, powers and authorities conferred on them by or pursuant to this Mortgage or by law (including the exercise of any right of a legal and beneficial owner of the Mortgaged Property); and

 

(f)                                   generally for it and in its name and on its behalf and as its act and deed or otherwise execute, seal and deliver and otherwise perfect and do any such legal assignments and other assurances, charges, authorities and documents over the moneys, property and assets hereby charged, and all such deeds, instruments, acts and things which may be required for the full exercise of all or any of the powers conferred or which may be deemed proper on or in connection with any of the purposes aforesaid.

 

14



 

12.2                       The power hereby conferred shall be a general power of attorney and the Mortgagor hereby ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm any instrument, act or thing which any attorney appointed pursuant hereto may execute or do.  In relation to the power referred to herein, the exercise by the Mortgagee of such power shall be conclusive evidence of its right to exercise the same.

 

12.3                       The powers conferred on the Mortgagee or any other person pursuant to this Clause 12 shall only be exercisable by the Mortgagee or such other person upon and/or after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing or following any failure by the Mortgagor to comply with any of its obligations under this Mortgage.

 

13.                              RELEASE

 

13.1                       Subject to Clause 13.2, upon the expiry of the Security Period, the Mortgagee shall (at the request and cost of the Mortgagor) execute such documents and do all such reasonable acts as may be necessary to release the Mortgaged Property from the security constituted by this Mortgage.  Such release shall not prejudice the rights of the Mortgagee under Clause 11.

 

13.2                       If any amount received in payment or purported payment of the Secured Obligations is avoided or reduced by virtue of any insolvency or other similar laws, the liability of each of the Mortgagor under this Mortgage and the security constituted by this Mortgage shall continue and such amount shall not be considered to have been irrevocably paid.

 

14.                              NOTICES

 

14.1                       Any notice or other communication given or made under or in connection with the matters contemplated by this Mortgage shall be in writing, in the English language, and may be sent by a recognised courier service, prepaid airmail (in the case of international service), fax, email or may be delivered personally to the address of the relevant party as set out in the Loan Agreement.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, any notice shall be deemed to have been received:

 

(a)                                 if sent by a recognised courier service, 48 hours after the time when the letter containing the same is delivered to the courier service;

 

(b)                                if sent by fax it shall be deemed to have been received on the same day or if not a Business Day, the next Business Day;

 

(c)                                 if sent by email it shall be deemed to have been received on the same day or if not a Business Day, the next Business Day;

 

(d)                                if sent by prepaid airmail it shall be deemed to have been received five days after the date of posting; and

 

(e)                                 if delivered personally it shall be deemed to have been received on the same day or if not a Business Day, the next Business Day.

 

15.                              ASSIGNMENTS

 

15.1                       This Mortgage shall be binding upon and shall enure to the benefit of the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee and each of their respective successors and (subject as hereinafter provided) assigns and references in this Mortgage to any of them shall be construed accordingly.

 

15.2                       The Mortgagor may not assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under this Mortgage.

 

15



 

15.3                       The Mortgagee may assign or transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Mortgage to any assignee or transferee without the consent of the Mortgagor. The Mortgagee shall notify the Mortgagor promptly following any such assignment or transfer.

 

16.                              SET-OFF

 

16.1                       The Mortgagor authorises the Mortgagee (but the Mortgagee shall not be obliged to exercise such right), after the occurrence of an Event of Default to set-off against the Secured Obligations any amount or other obligation (contingent or otherwise) owing by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor.

 

17.                              SUBSEQUENT SECURITY INTERESTS

 

17.1                       If the Mortgagee at any time receives or is deemed to have received notice of any subsequent Security Interest affecting all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or any assignment or transfer of the Mortgaged Property which is prohibited by the terms of this Mortgage, all payments thereafter by or on behalf of the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee shall be treated as having been credited to a new account of the Mortgagor and not as having been applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations as at the time when the Mortgagee received such notice.

 

18.                              EXPENSES

 

18.1                       The Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee on demand all costs, fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses) and taxes thereon incurred by the Mortgagee or for which the Mortgagee may become liable in connection with:

 

(a)                                 the preserving or enforcing of, or attempting to preserve or enforce, any of its rights under this Mortgage or the priority hereof;

 

(b)                                any variation of, or amendment or supplement to, any of the terms of this Mortgage requested by the Mortgagor; or

 

(c)                                 any consent or waiver required from the Mortgagee in relation to this Mortgage,

 

and in the case referred to in Clauses 18.1(c) and 18.1(d) regardless of whether the same is actually implemented, completed or granted, as the case may be.

 

18.2                       The Mortgagor shall pay promptly all registration, stamp, documentary and other like duties and taxes to which this Mortgage may be subject or give rise and shall indemnify the Mortgagee on demand against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission on the part of the Mortgagor to pay any such duties or taxes.

 

19.                              MISCELLANEOUS

 

19.1                       The Mortgagee, at any time and from time to time, may delegate by power of attorney or in any other manner to any person or persons all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions which are for the time being exercisable by the Mortgagee under this Mortgage in relation to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof.  Any such delegation may be made upon such terms and be subject to such regulations as the Mortgagee may think fit.

 

19.2                       If any of the clauses, conditions, covenants or restrictions (the “Provision”) of this Mortgage or any deed or document emanating from it shall be found to be void but would be valid if some part thereof were deleted or modified, then the Provision shall apply with such deletion or modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective.

 

16



 

19.3        This Mortgage (together with any documents referred to herein) constitutes the whole agreement between the Parties relating to its subject matter and no variations hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by each of the Parties.

 

19.4        Each document, instrument, statement, report, notice or other communication delivered in connection with this Mortgage shall be in English or where not in English shall be accompanied by a certified English translation which translation shall with respect to all documents of a contractual nature and all certificates and notices to be delivered hereunder be the governing version and upon which in all cases the Mortgagee shall be entitled to rely.

 

19.5       This Mortgage may be executed in counterparts each of which when executed and delivered shall constitute an original but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

19.6        The parties intend that this Mortgage takes effect as a deed notwithstanding the fact that the Mortgagee may only execute it under hand.

 

20.          LAW AND JURISDICTION

 

20.1        This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands, provided that nothing in this clause shall affect the right of the Mortgagee to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Mortgagee to take proceedings with respect to this Mortgage against the Mortgagor in any jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings with respect to this Mortgage in any jurisdiction preclude the Mortgagee from taking proceedings with respect to this Mortgage in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

 

20.2                       The Mortgagor agrees that the process by which any proceedings in the Cayman Islands are begun may be served on it by being delivered to the process agent referred to below.

 

20.3                       Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, the Mortgagor:

 

(a)                                 irrevocably appoints the Company as his/her agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the Cayman Islands courts in connection with this Mortgage and confirms that such agent for service of process has duly accepted such appointment; and

 

(b)                                agrees that failure by the process agent to notify the Mortgagor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

 

20.4                       If the appointment of the person mentioned in Clause 20.3 ceases to be effective, the relevant Mortgagor shall immediately appoint another person in the Cayman Islands to accept service of process on its behalf.  If the Mortgagor fails to do so, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to appoint such a person by notice to such Mortgagor.  Nothing contained herein shall restrict the right to serve process in any other manner allowed by law.

 

21.          AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT

 

21.1       As stated in the recitals hereof, this Mortgage amends, restates and supersedes the Initial Mortgage without novation. Nothing expressed or implied in this Mortgage shall be construed as a release or other discharge of Mortgagor from any of its obligations or liabilities under the Initial Mortgage or any other security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages, or other loan documents executed in connection therewith, except (i) to the extent such obligations or liabilities are superseded under this Mortgage after the date hereof, or (ii) with respect to such obligations or liabilities owing to the Initial Mortgagee (including under such documents previously delivered to the Initial Mortgagee under Section 4.2 of the Initial Mortgage), as such obligations or liabilities are transferred to, or replaced or superseded by corresponding obligations or liabilities to the Mortgagee (including under such documents now delivered to the Mortgagee as assignee of the Initial Mortgagee under Section 4.2 of this Mortgage). Each of Mortgagor and Mortgagee hereby confirms and agrees that (1) to the extent that the Initial Mortgage purports to assign or pledge to the Initial Mortgagee and its assignees, or to grant to the Initial Mortgagee and its assignees a security interest in or lien on, any collateral as security for the obligations of Mortgagor from time to time existing in respect of the Loan Agreement, such pledge, assignment or grant of the security interest or lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, and (2) the grant of security set forth herein is not a new grant of security and is a reaffirmation of the grant of security set forth in the Initial Mortgage.

STOCK TRADING PLAN

 

This Stock Trading Plan (the “Plan” ) is being adopted as of the date below, by Skillgreat Limited, (the “ Client” ), to facilitate the Sale of the American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) (the “Shares”) of Bona Film Group Limited, (the “Issuer”), whereby the Client is the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer as of the date of this Plan, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”).

 

To dispel any inference that the Client is trading in the Shares on the basis of, while using, when in possession of, or when aware of material nonpublic information; or that the trades in the Shares evidence the Client’s knowledge of material nonpublic information, or information at variance with the Issuer’s statements to investors; the Client has determined to instruct Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CSSU”) to trade a pre-determined amount of Shares pursuant to the formula described in Exhibit A.

 

Representations, Warranties and Covenants Regarding Compliance with Rule 10b5-1;

 

1                                        As of the date of this Plan, the Client is not aware of any material nonpublic information regarding the Issuer and is not subject to any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction or undertaking that would prevent CSSU from acting upon the instructions set forth in this Plan;

 

2.                                    The Client is entering into this Plan in good faith and not as part of any scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;

 

3.                                    The Client has not entered into, and will not enter into, any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares;

 

4.                                    The Client acknowledges that CSSU may make a market in the Shares and will continue to engage in market-making activities while executing transactions on behalf of the Client pursuant to the Plan; and

 

5.                                    The Client may not discuss with CSSU the timing of the trading in the Shares on their behalf (other than to confirm these instructions and describe them if necessary).

 

6.                                    The Client agrees to inform CSSU as soon as possible of any of the following:

 

i)                                   any subsequent restrictions imposed on the Client due to changes in the securities (or other) laws or of any contractual restrictions imposed on the Issuer that would prevent CSSU or the Client from complying with the Plan, and

 

ii)                               the occurrence of any event as set forth in the Plan that would cause the Plan to be suspended or terminated under Section 10 or Section 15 of the Plan, respectively.

 

7.                                    The Client agrees not to sell any shares at another Broker Dealer outside of CSSU during the duration of the Plan.

 

Representations, Warranties and Covenants Regarding Compliance with Rule 144 and Rule 145

 

8.                                    Client understands and agrees that if he/she is an affiliate or control person for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“ Securities Act” ), or if the Shares subject to

 



 

the Plan are restricted securities subject to limitations under Rule 144 or eligible for resale under Rule 145, then all sales of Shares under the Plan will be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Rule 144.

 

i)                                       Client requests and authorizes CSSU to complete and file on their behalf any Forms 144 (pre-signed by them) necessary to effect sales under the Plan.

 

ii)                               If appropriate, Client understands and agrees that, upon their prompt execution and delivery to CSSU of Form 144, CSSU will either: (a) make one Form 144 filing at the beginning of each three-month period commencing with the date of the first sale made in connection with the Plan, (b) file a Form 144 for each sale made in connection with the Plan, or (c) file at its discretion in compliance with the rules of the Securities Act.

 

iii)                           Each Form 144 shall state the following: “ This proposed sale is made pursuant to a plan intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 (c), previously entered into on June 10, 2014, at which time Dong Yu was not aware of material non public information.”

 

iv)                           CSSU will conduct sales pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 145 if appropriate, including applying Rule 144 volume limitations as if the sales under the Plan were the only sales subject to the volume limitations.

 

v)                               Client agrees not to take any action or to cause any other person or entity to take any action that would require him/her to aggregate sales of Shares subject to the Plan with any other sales of shares as may be required by Rule 144; and not to take any action that would cause the sales of Shares under the Plan not to comply with Rule 144 or Rule 145.

 

Stock Splits / Reincorporations/ Reorganizations

 

9.                                    In the event of a stock split or reverse stock split, the quantity and price at which the Shares are to be executed will be adjusted proportionately.

 

10.                            In the event of a reincorporation or other corporate reorganization resulting in an internal Issuer share-for-share exchange of new shares for the Shares subject to the Plan, then the new shares will automatically replace the Shares originally specified in the Plan.

 

Suspension

 

11.                           Trading pursuant to the Plan shall be suspended where:

 

i)                                   trading of the Shares on the principal exchange or market on which the Shares trade is suspended for any reason;

 

ii)                               CSSU, in its sole discretion, determine that there is a legal, regulatory or contractual reason why it cannot effect a trade; or

 

iii)                           CSSU is notified in writing by the Client or the Issuer that a trade should not be effected due to legal, regulatory or contractual restrictions applicable to the Issuer or to the Client (including without limitation, Regulation M).

 



 

12.                            CSSU will resume trades in accordance with the Plan as promptly as practicable after (a) CSSU receives notice in writing from the Client or the Issuer, as the case may be, that it may resume trades in accordance with the formula described in Exhibit A in the case of the occurrence of an event described in Sections 11 (iii) or (b) CSSU determines, in its sole discretion, that it may resume trades in accordance with the formula described in Exhibit A in the case of the occurrence of an event described in Sections 11 (i) or 11(ii).

 

13.                            Shares allocated under the Plan for trading during a period that has elapsed due to a suspension under Section 1 0 will be carried forward and executed with the next amount of shares in accordance with the formula described in Exhibit A.

 

14.                            In the event the formula described in Exhibit A provides for an amount of Shares to be executed during a given period pursuant to a limit order, Shares that would otherwise be permitted to be executed during that period but are not executed due to a suspension under Section 11, shall, upon lapse of the suspension, nonetheless be carried forward to be executed with the next amount of Shares to be executed in accordance with the formula described in Exhibit A.

 

15.                            CSSU is released from all liability in connection with any suspension of trades made in accordance with Section 11.

 

Termination

 

16.                            The Plan shall terminate on the earliest to occur of the following:

ii)                               the completion of all trades in Exhibit A;

 

iii)                           CSSU’s reasonable determination that: (a) the Plan does not comply with Rule 10b5-1 or other applicable securities laws; (b) the Client has not complied with the Plan, Rule 10b5-1 or other applicable securities laws; or (c) the Client has made misstatements in their representations or warranties in Sections 1-8 above that are false or materially inaccurate;

 

iv)                           receipt by CSSU of written notice from the Issuer or Client of: (a) the filing of a bankruptcy petition by the Issuer; (b) a merger, recapitalization, acquisition, tender or exchange offer, or other business combination or reorganization resulting in the exchange or conversion of the Shares of the Issuer into shares of a company other than the Issuer; or (c) the conversion of the Shares into rights to receive fixed amounts of cash or into debt securities and/or preferred stock (whether in whole or in part);

 

v)                               receipt by CSSU of written notice of the Client’s death in a form legally satisfactory; or

 

vi)                           receipt by CSSU of written notice of termination of the Plan from the Client.

 

Execution, Average Pricing and Pro Rata Allocation of Trades

 

17.                            The Client agrees and acknowledges that:

 

i)                                   If the Client’s order to execute the Shares pursuant to the Plan, whether market or limit, is

 



 

handled by a CSSU trading desk, the Client’s order shall be handled as “ not held”. A “not held” or “working order” permits a CSSU trader to use reasonable brokerage judgment, exercising price and time discretion, as to when to execute the order.

 

ii)                               CSSU may execute the Client’s order: (a) in a single transaction or multiple transactions during the course of the trading day, or (b) CSSU may aggregate the Client’s order with other orders of the Issuer’s securities that may or may not have been accepted pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, execute them as block or in multiple smaller transactions, and allocate an average price to each client.

 

iii)                           Commissions charged by CSSU on trades pursuant to the Plan shall be $0.03 per share, with a $1 00 minimum fee per ticket.

 

Indemnification

 

18.                            The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CSSU and its directors, officers, employees and affiliates from and against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities, including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such claim, arising out of or attributable to CSSU’s actions taken in compliance with the Plan, because of any breach by the Client of the Plan, or any violation by the Client of applicable federal or state laws or regulations. This indemnification shall survive the termination of the Plan.

 

19.                            The Client has consulted with their own advisors as to the legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of, and has not relied upon CSSU or any person affiliated with CSSU in connection with, the Client’s adoption and implementation of this Plan.

 

If the Client is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act of 1934, CSSU will provide information regarding open market transactions under the Plan to a designated third party in accordance with the instructions provided below.

 

20.                            The Client authorizes CSSU to transmit information via facsimile and/or email regarding open market transactions under the Plan to:

Title:                                                             Secretary of the Board and Administration Director

E-mail:                                                zoumenglei@bonafilm.cn

 

i)                                   The Client understands that reasonable efforts will be made to transmit transaction information for open market transactions under the Plan by close of business on the day of the sale, but no later than the close of business on the first trading day following the sale.

 

ii)                               The Client acknowledges that CSSU (a) has no obligation to confirm receipt of any email or faxed information by the designated contact and (b) has no responsibility or liability for filing a Form 4 with the SEC or for compliance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

 



 

iii)                           If any of the above contact information changes, or the Client wishes to terminate this authorization, the Client will promptly notify CSSU in writing. The Client further authorizes CSSU to transmit transaction information to a third party service provider who will make the information available to their designated representative(s) listed above.

 

Governing Law

 

21.                            This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

The Client and the Issuer authorize and direct the Issuer’s insider trading personnel to take all necessary steps to effect the instructions described in this Plan.
