ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1.

Each of the Company, on one hand, and Digital HKco’s Shareholder, on the other hand (each, an “Indemnifying Party”), jointly and severally, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party, and such other Party’s directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents and assigns (each, an “Indemnitee”), against any and all Indemnifiable Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by such Indemnitee, as a result of, or based upon or arising from (a) any breach or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Indemnifying Party in or pursuant to this Agreement and any Additional Agreement, (b) any adverse effect to the financial performance, prospects or reputation of the Indemnifying Party due to a violation of applicable Laws by the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates, or (c) any breach or violation of any applicable Law by the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates.  For purposes of this Section, “Indemnifiable Loss” means, with respect to any Indemnitee, any action, cost, damage, disbursement, expense, liability, loss, deficiency, diminution in value, obligation, penalty or settlement actually suffered or incurred by the Indemnitee, including, but not limited to, interest or other carrying costs, penalties, legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses reasonably incurred in the investigation, collection, prosecution and defense of claims and amounts paid in settlement, that may be imposed on or otherwise incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee, as incurred, and (ii) any Taxes (other than income tax) that may be payable by such Indemnitee as a result of the indemnification of any Indemnifiable Loss hereunder, or (iii) any Claim (“Third Party Claim”) brought against the Indemnitee by any third party as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than Claims arising as a result of any act or omission by the Indemnitee in breach of its obligations, whether under contract or otherwise, to such third party. Each of the Indemnitees may elect to make a Claim for indemnification under this Section 11.1 against any Indemnifying Party in its sole discretion.  

11.2.

All Claims for indemnification by any Indemnitee under Section 11.1 will be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a)

In the event any Claim, in respect of which the Indemnitee might seek indemnity under Section 11.1, is a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall deliver a notice ( a “Claim Notice”) notifying the Indemnifying Parties of such Third Party Claim.  The Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnitee as soon as practicable within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnitee under Section 11.1 and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnitee against such Third Party Claim.

(b)

If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnitee within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnitee with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 11.2, then the Indemnifying Party will have the right to




xliii

 

 







defend, with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee, at no cost or expense from the Indemnitee, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled by the Indemnifying Party (but only with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee).  The Indemnitee may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitee, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party's delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this Section 11.2 (a), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnitee reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests.  The Indemnitee may participate in any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11.2 (a), and except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnitee will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim at any time in its discretion.

(c)

If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnitee within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 11.2 (a), or if the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute vigorously and diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to give any notice whatsoever within the Dispute Period, then the Indemnitee will have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be prosecuted by the Indemnitee in a reasonable manner and in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnitee.  The Indemnitee will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnitee and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnitee is contesting.  The Indemnifying Party may participate in any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 11.2, and the Indemnifying Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(d)

If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnitee that it does not dispute its liability to the Indemnitee with respect to the Third Party Claim under Section 11.1 or fails to notify the Indemnitee within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifiable Loss in the amount specified in the Claim Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 11.1 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Indemnifiable Loss to the Indemnitee on demand.  If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such Claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within the Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11.2 hereof.

(e)

In the event the Indemnitee should have a Claim under Section 11.1 against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall deliver an Indemnity Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party.  The failure by the Indemnitee to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair the Indemnitee's rights hereunder except to the extent that an Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been




xliv

 

 







materially prejudiced thereby.  If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnitee that it does not dispute the Claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnitee within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the Claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the Indemnifiable Loss in the amount specified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 11.1 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Indemnifiable Loss to the Indemnitee on demand.  If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such Claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within the Resolution Period, such dispute shall be finally and conclusively in accordance with ARTICLE XI hereof.

11.3.

At the absolute discretion of the Indemnitee, all Indemnifiable Losses suffered by the COMPANY may be settled by (a) payment of cash in an amount equal to the Indemnifiable Losses by Digital HKco’s Shareholder, or (b) the transfer of such number of COMPANY Common Shares held by Digital HKco’s Shareholder equal to (i) the amount of Indemnifiable Losses suffered by the COMPANY divided by (ii) the average closing prices of one (1) COMPANY Common Share over the thirty (30) Trading Days prior to making such transfer, or a combination of the above.

11.4.

In the event that an Indemnitee suffers an Indemnifiable Loss as provided in Section 11.1 or 11.2 and the Indemnifying Parties are either unwilling or unable to fulfill their obligations under Section 11.1 or 11.2 to indemnify the Indemnitees for the full amount of such Indemnifiable Loss within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice thereof from the Indemnitee, then if the Indemnifying Party is Digital HKco’s Shareholder, any of the FAB Parties, selected by the Indemnitees at their sole discretion, shall indemnify the Indemnitees such that the Indemnitees shall receive the full amount of such Indemnifiable Loss.

11.5.

(a)  No Indemnitee shall be entitled to make a claim for indemnification under this Article XI unless and until the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Losses incurred by such Indemnitee (together with such Indemnitee’s directors, officers, employees, agents and assigns who are also Indemnitees hereunder) exceeds $100,000 (the “Basket”), and then such Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification only for amounts in excess of such $100,000 Basket.

(b)  In no event shall the aggregate amount of all Indemnifiable Losses for which either the Digital HKco Shareholder (and other FAB Parties), on one hand, or the COMPANY, on the other hand, is obligated to provide indemnification under this ARTICLE XI exceed $2,000,000 (the “Ceiling”).

11.6.

Indemnification for Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this ARTICLE XI and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.5 and otherwise herein, and Liquidated Damages pursuant to Section 12.4, and specific performance to the extent, if any, specifically provided herein and available under applicable Law, shall constitute the sole remedies of any Person with respect to any breach or nonperformance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in or pursuant to this Agreement.

11.7.

This ARTICLE XI shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of two years.

ARTICLE XII

TERMINATION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

12.1.

Termination Without Default.  In the event that the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder has not occurred within one hundred twenty (120) days following the execution of this Agreement (the “Outside Closing Date”) and no material breach of this Agreement by the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall have occurred or have been made (as provided in Section 12.2 hereof), the COMPANY, on the one hand, and Digital HKco’s Shareholder, on the other hand, shall have the right, at its or their sole option, to terminate this Agreement without liability to the other side.  Such right may be exercised by the COMPANY, on the one hand, and Digital HKco’s Shareholder, on the other hand, as the case may be, giving written notice to the other at any time after the Outside Closing Date.

12.2.

Termination Upon Default.

(a)

The COMPANY may terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Digital HKco’s Shareholder on or prior to the Closing Date, without prejudice to any rights or obligations the COMPANY may have, if the FAB Parties shall have materially breached any representation or warranty or breached any agreement or covenant contained herein or in any Additional Agreement to be performed prior to Closing and such breach shall not be cured within the earlier of the Outside Closing Date and twenty (20)  days following receipt by Digital HKco’s Shareholder of a notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of such breach.

(b)

Digital HKco’s Shareholder may terminate this Agreement by giving prior written notice to the COMPANY on or prior to the Closing, without prejudice to any rights or obligations of Digital HKco’s Shareholder may have, if the COMPANY shall have materially breached any of its covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained herein to be performed prior to Closing and such breach shall not be cured within the earlier of the Outside Closing Date and twenty (20) days following receipt by the COMPANY of a notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of such breach.

12.3.

Survival.  The provisions of ARTICLE XI, ARTICLE XIII, and Sections 8.7, 14.4 and 14.5 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to this ARTICLE XII.

12.4.

Liquidated Damages.  In the event of a material breach of any provision of this Agreement by either the COMPANY, on one hand, or the FAB Parties, on the other hand (the “Breaching Party”) during the first twelve (12) months following the Closing, the other Party (the “Notifying Party”) shall give written notice of such breach in the manner specified in Section 14.1 hereof.  In the event that the Breaching Party does not cure such breach in all material respects within twenty (20) days of such notice, the Notifying Party shall be entitled to the immediate and automatic dissolution of this Agreement and rescission of the transactions contemplated hereby and  forfeiture and cancellation on the books and records of the Notifying




xlvi

 

 







Party of all consideration paid, or securities or assets delivered, in connection with this Agreement, without the requirement of delivery of the instruments representing such consideration or that the Notifying Party post any bond, file any foreclosure action, or take any other action whatsoever, which forfeiture shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty.  In this regard, the parties agree that actual loss to the Notifying Party in the event of such an uncured breach is incapable of estimation, for the following reasons, among others:  (i) the negative effect that such a breach may have on such Party’s ability to comply with its obligations under the Laws (including but not limited to compliance with the certification requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act); (ii) the negative effect that such a breach may have on such Party’s ability to prepare and obtain audits and/or reviews of its consolidated financial statements; (iii) questions of law and fact that may arise as a result of the parties’ organization and residence in different jurisdictions with differing laws and customs; (iv) the negative effect that such a breach may have on the Company’s ability to comply with the listing standards of the NYSE Amex; and (v) questions of enforcement of the Notifying Party’s legal rights as a result of such differences.  In the event of any such dissolution and rescission, all Parties shall use their best efforts in good faith to restore the circumstances existing prior to the Closing (including among other things the return and/or cancellation of the Initial COMPANY Shares and the Convertible Preferred Shares, and the return and/or cancellation and reissuance to Digital HKco’s Shareholder of the Digital HKco Shares).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement and in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Restrictions on Shares.

(a) Except pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until the Expiration Time as defined in Section 1(b) below, that is applicable to its Shares, Digital HKCo’s Shareholder shall



i

 

 






not, directly or indirectly, grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or similar arrangement or commitment with respect to any of the Shares.

(b) Digital HKCo’s Shareholder hereby grants to the Board of Directors of the Company the right to vote its Shares in accordance with Section 2 hereof and the Irrevocable Proxy that is attached as Exhibit A hereto.  Such provisions shall govern the voting of the Shares for a period of eight (8) consecutive and complete reporting quarters of the Company after the Closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, provided, however, that:


(i)  If  Digital HKco and the VIE Companies successfully complete all of the Corporate Governance Objectives for  two (2) consecutive and complete reporting quarters after the Closing, the Board of Directors of the Company will release  the voting rights of 50% of the Shares held by Digital HKCo’s Shareholder at such time and re-assign such voting rights back to Digital HKCo’s Shareholder.

(d) Any shares of the Company’s common or other securities of the Company with respect to which Digital HKCo’s Shareholder acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in

2. Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Digital HKCo’s Shareholder shall deliver to the Company a duly executed proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Proxy”), which Proxy is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, and, until the Expiration Time applicable to any given Share, shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permitted by law, with respect to each and every meeting of stockholders of the Company or action or approval by written resolution or consent of stockholders of the Company covering the total number of Shares in respect of which Digital HKCo’s Shareholder is entitled to vote at any such meeting or in connection with any such written consent.

(e) Digital HKCo’s Shareholder agrees that it will not in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute or voluntary aid any action, claim, suit or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court or before any governmental entity, which challenges the validity or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement (provided that nothing herein shall limit Digital HKCo’s Shareholder’s rights to enforce the terms of this Agreement).

Subject to achievement of the Corporate  Governance Objectives and the Revenue Objectives as defined in Sections 5(b)(i) and 5(b)(ii), respectively, at the option of the Holder thereof, the Preferred Stock will be converted into the Company’s Common Stock in three (3) tranches according to the schedule set forth in Section 5(b).   [Certain information regarding the definitive number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion to be inserted at time of Closing of Share Exchange Agreement and filing of Certificate of Designation.]

[When each tranche is converted into the Company’s Common Stock , it will bring the overall equity position in the Company of the recipients of Common Stock and Preferred Stock as Consideration pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the Closing, to 70%, 74% and 78% , respectively and immediately after each of the conversions.  For example: if the fully diluted common stock of the Corporation at



xii

 

 






the Closing of the Share Exchange Agreement were 9,000,000 shares, then:  (i) the first tranche with two hundred and ten (210) shares of Preferred Stock referred to in Section 5(b)(iii)(a) below would be convertible into 12,348,000 shares of Common Stock upon compliance with the applicable Objectives as defined in Section 5(b) below; (ii) the second tranche with forty (40) shares of Preferred Stock referred to in Section 5(b)(iii)(b) below would be convertible into 4,628,000 shares of Common Stock upon compliance with the applicable Objectives; and (iii) the third tranche with  forty (40) shares of Preferred Stock referred to in Section 5(b)(iii)(c) below would be convertible into 6,280,000 shares of Common Stock upon compliance with the applicable Objectives. Upon attainment of each and every Objective and conversion of all Preferred Stock, the Holders would have a collective 78% ownership of the total number of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of the Closing of the Share Exchange Agreement on a fully diluted basis, giving effect to the conversion of all of the Preferred Stock. The accurate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each tranche of Preferred Stock will be determined at the Closing based on the total issued and outstanding shares and fully dilution of presumed conversions in the future.]

Shares of Preferred Stock upon being converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.  


(b)

Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. To effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, the Holder shall not be required to surrender the instrument representing such shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the instrument representing such shares of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue.   


(ii)

Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than five (5) business days after each Conversion Date, the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the



xv

 

 






converting Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock.


(iii)

Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions in the Share Exchange Agreement) be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock hereunder. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately adjusted in the event that the Corporation , at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of this Preferred Stock); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares.


(iv)

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to upon such conversion, the Corporation shall round up to the next whole share.


(v)

Transfer Taxes.  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Corporation for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates.


Section 6


Cancellation.

In the event that the Corporate Governance Objective and/or the Revenue Objective applicable to a given share of Preferred Stock has not been met by the deadline applicable to such Objective(s) as specified in Section 5(b)(iii) above, such share of Preferred Stock in the corresponding tranche or tranches shall immediately and automatically be cancelled on the books and records of the Corporation, without the requirement of delivery of the instrument therefor, and without the necessity for the Corporation to post any bond or take any other action whatsoever with respect to such cancellation.

(the “Share Exchange Agreement”) (capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Share Exchange Agreement);


WHEREAS, in partial consideration for the purchase of the Digital HKco Shares under the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company shall issue to Digital HKco’s Shareholder at Closing (as defined in Section 2.2 of the Share Exchange Agreement) such number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value one mill ($0.001) per share, as constitutes forty-nine percent (49%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis immediately following the Closing after issuance of such shares (the “Initial Company  Shares,” as defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Share Exchange Agreement);
