Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
          On October 30, 2009, Ideation Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Ideation”), entered into an amendment, referred to herein as the fourth amendment, to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Conversion and Share Exchange, dated as of March 31, 2009, as amended, by and among Ideation, ID Arizona Corp., an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Ideation (“ID Arizona”), SearchMedia International Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“SM Cayman” or “SearchMedia”), the subsidiaries of SM Cayman, and Shanghai Jingli Advertising Co., Ltd. (“Jingli Shanghai,” and together with SM Cayman and its subsidiaries, the “SearchMedia entities” or “SM entities”), and certain shareholders and warrantholders of SM Cayman, among others, referred to herein as the share exchange agreement. The fourth amendment was entered into with the SM Cayman shareholders’ representatives and amends the share exchange agreement to revise certain provisions of the memorandum and articles of ID Cayman, as defined below, following the closing of the business combination to provide for Co-Chairmen of the board of directors and to eliminate certain rights of the Chairman of the board of directors to cast an additional vote in the event the board of directors becomes deadlocked with respect to any matter. The Co-Chairmen of the board as of the closing were Qinying Liu and Robert Fried. The fourth amendment also made a correction to the number of ordinary shares of SM Cayman into which the preferred shares of SM Cayman would convert pursuant to the preferred conversion. A copy of the fourth amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.5 and is incorporated herein by reference.
          On October 30, 2009, Ideation completed a redomestication that resulted in holders of Ideation securities holding securities in SearchMedia Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ID Cayman” or the “Company”), pursuant to the share exchange agreement. The share exchange agreement provided for two primary transactions: (1) the redomestication of Ideation from a Delaware corporation to a Cayman Islands exempted company and (2) the business combination between ID Cayman and SM Cayman, after which SM Cayman became a wholly owned subsidiary of ID Cayman.
          The redomestication of Ideation involved two steps. First, Ideation effected a merger pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and Section 10-1107 of the Arizona Revised Statutes in which Ideation merged with and into ID Arizona with ID Arizona surviving the merger. Second, after the merger, ID Arizona became a Cayman Islands exempted company pursuant to a conversion and continuation procedure under Arizona and Cayman Islands law.
          Immediately after the redomestication, ID Cayman completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares and warrants of SM Cayman, and SM Cayman security holders, including certain SM Cayman noteholders and warrantholders, received ordinary shares, or securities exercisable or exchangeable for ordinary shares, of ID Cayman.
          As a consequence of the merger of Ideation and ID Arizona and the conversion and continuation of ID Arizona into ID Cayman, ID Cayman succeeded to a number of definitive agreements entered into by Ideation, including the agreements governing the warrants issued by Ideation, among other agreements. Each of these agreements has been previously filed by Ideation as an exhibit to its periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
          In connection with the business combination, ID Cayman entered into a Voting Agreement with certain shareholders and security holders of ID Cayman. A description of the Voting Agreement is contained in the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 5, 2009 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) under the section titled “Certain Agreements Relating to the Business Combination – Voting Agreement,” which section is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the form of voting agreement is included as Annex F to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
          In connection with the business combination, ID Cayman entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain shareholders and warrantholders of ID Cayman and the converting SM Cayman noteholders. A description of the Registration Rights Agreement is contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the section titled “Certain Agreements Relating to the Business Combination – Registration Rights Agreement,” which section

is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the form of registration rights agreement is included as Annex H to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
          In addition, the following provides an update to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus section titled “Certain Agreements Relating to the Business Combination – Registration Rights Agreement.” All page references below refer to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
    The first sentence on page 139 reads as follows: “At the closing of the business combination, ID Cayman and certain of the SM Cayman shareholders and warrantholders will enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which such SM Cayman shareholders and warrantholders will be entitled to registration rights for any ID Cayman ordinary shares received by them in connection with the business combination (including any ordinary shares issued to them upon exercise of warrants of ID Cayman).”
 
      This sentence is amended and restated in its entirety with the following: “At the closing of the business combination, ID Cayman and certain of the SM Cayman shareholders and warrantholders and holders of SM Cayman interim notes will enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which such SM Cayman shareholders and warrantholders will be entitled to registration rights for any ID Cayman ordinary shares received by them in connection with the business combination (including any ordinary shares issued to them upon exercise of warrants of ID Cayman).”
 
    The third sentence on page 139 reads as follows: “Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, SM Cayman shareholders and warrantholders holding at least 50% of the outstanding registrable securities are entitled to demand that ID Cayman register the ordinary shares held by the SM Cayman shareholders and warrantholders who have registration rights.”
 
      This sentence is amended and restated in its entirety with the following: “Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, SM Cayman shareholders and warrantholders and holders of SM Cayman interim notes holding at least 37% of the outstanding registrable securities are entitled to demand that ID Cayman register the ordinary shares held by the SM Cayman shareholders and warrantholders who have registration rights.”
          A copy of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is included as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Completion of the Redomestication
     On October 30, 2009, the redomestication of Ideation from Delaware to the Cayman Islands was completed. As a result of the redomestication:
    Holders of Ideation units received one ID Arizona unit for each Ideation unit held at the time of the merger, which, upon the conversion and continuation of ID Arizona to the Cayman Islands, resulted in such holders holding one ID Cayman unit for each ID Arizona unit held at the time of the conversion.
 
    Holders of Ideation common stock received one share of ID Arizona common stock for each share of Ideation common stock held at the time of the merger, which, upon the conversion and continuation of ID Arizona to the Cayman Islands, resulted in such holders holding one ID Cayman ordinary share for each share of ID Arizona common stock held at the time of the conversion.
 
    Holders of Ideation warrants received one ID Arizona warrant for each Ideation warrant held at the time of the merger, which, upon the conversion and continuation of ID Arizona to the Cayman Islands, resulted in such holders holding one ID Cayman warrant for each ID Arizona warrant held at the time of the conversion.
 
    Holders of the Ideation option to purchase 500,000 units, consisting of 500,000 shares of common stock and 500,000 warrants, received one ID Arizona option to purchase 500,000 units, consisting of 500,000

Table of Contents

      shares of common stock and 500,000 warrants, which, upon the conversion and continuation of ID Arizona to the Cayman Islands, resulted in such holders holding one ID Cayman option to purchase 500,000 units, consisting of 500,000 ordinary shares and 500,000 warrants of ID Cayman.
     The ID Arizona and ID Cayman securities have the same terms as the Ideation securities for which they were exchanged. However, the rights of shareholders under Cayman Islands law may differ from those under Delaware law. A comparison of the rights of stockholders under Delaware and Cayman Islands law is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the section titled “The Redomestication Proposal — Differences of Stockholder Rights,” which section is incorporated herein by reference.
Completion of the Business Combination
          On October 30, 2009, ID Cayman completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares and warrants of SM Cayman, and SM Cayman security holders, including certain SM Cayman noteholders and warrantholders, received ordinary shares or securities exercisable or exchangeable for ordinary shares of ID Cayman. Also, as a result of the business combination:
    After giving effect to conversion of the preferred shares of SM Cayman, at closing, ID Cayman acquired 97,474,068 ordinary shares of SM Cayman, representing 100% of SM Cayman shares in issue.
 
    SM Cayman shareholders received 6,583,149 ordinary shares of ID Cayman.
 
    SM Cayman warrantholders received warrants to purchase 1,519,186 ordinary shares of ID Cayman.
 
    SM Cayman option holders received options to purchase 255,570 ordinary shares of ID Cayman.
 
    SM Cayman holders of restricted shares and restricted share units, which we refer to as restricted share awards, received 261,177 restricted share awards of ID Cayman.
 
    Certain SM Cayman noteholders received 1,712,874 ordinary shares of ID Cayman and warrants to purchase 428,219 ordinary shares of ID Cayman.
          ID Cayman has also agreed to issue to the holders of the outstanding ordinary shares, Series A, Series B and Series C preferred shares and warrants of SM Cayman up to 10,150,352 additional ID Cayman ordinary shares, which we refer to as the earn-out shares, pursuant to an earn-out provision in the share exchange agreement based on the adjusted net income of the combined company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Holders of any other outstanding preferred shares (if any), share options, or restricted share awards of SM Cayman will not be entitled to receive any of the 10,150,352 earn-out shares, even if these securities are converted into (in the case of preferred shares) or exercised for (in the case of options), ordinary shares of SM Cayman, or vest (in the case of restricted share awards), before the business combination. The 10,150,352 earn-out shares will be issued to the holders of ordinary shares, Series A, Series B and Series C preferred shares and warrants of SM Cayman as follows:
          If ID Cayman’s adjusted net income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 is equal to or greater than $25.7 million, ID Cayman will issue an aggregate number of earn-out shares calculated in accordance with the formula below. If ID Cayman’s adjusted net income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 is equal to or greater than $38.4 million, adjusted net income shall be deemed to be equal to $38.4 million for purposes of the formula.
             
Earn-out Shares Issued =   (2009 adjusted net income — $25.7 million)   ×   10,150,352 shares
    $12.7 million        
          If on or prior to April 15, 2010 a bona fide definitive agreement is executed and the subsequent consummation of the transactions contemplated by such agreement results in a change of control of ID Cayman,

Table of Contents

then, regardless of whether the targeted net income threshold has been met, ID Cayman shall issue and deliver all of the earn-out shares to the holders of ordinary shares, Series A, Series B and Series C preferred shares and warrants of SM Cayman, if the change of control is approved by a majority of the independent directors then on the board of directors of ID Cayman or if the acquisition consideration delivered to the shareholders of ID Cayman in the change of control has a value (as determined in good faith by a majority of the independent directors then on the board of directors of ID Cayman) that is equal to at least $11.82 per share on a fully diluted basis (as equitably adjusted for any stock split, combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events). Such earn-out share payments shall be issued and delivered promptly after the occurrence of such change of control.
          At Ideation’s special meeting of stockholders held on October 27, 2009, holders of 37,655 shares of common stock of Ideation elected to convert their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account established in connection with Ideation’s initial public offering and thereafter maintained by Continental Transfer & Trust Co. (the “Trust Account”). The cash for the payment to the Ideation stockholders electing conversion was funded with funds released from the Trust Account. The balance of the funds held in the Trust Account were released to ID Cayman at the closing of the business combination and will be used for transaction expenses, potential acquisitions and operating capital.
          Upon the closing of the business combination, in exchange for open market purchases which satisfied the “sponsor purchase commitment amount,” as defined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Frost Gamma Investments Trust was issued warrants to purchase 105,275 ordinary shares of ID Cayman. The number of warrants issued was determined by multiplying the number of ordinary shares purchased during the sponsor purchase commitment period by 0.25.
          Upon the closing of the business combination, taking into account the conversion of Ideation common stock described above, under the treasury method and using the trust liquidation value per share of $7.8815, the shareholders of SM Cayman own an aggregate of 38.9% of the basic and 37.4% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding shares of ID Cayman. Assuming the maximum number of earn-out shares are issued, the shareholders of SM Cayman would own an aggregate of 59.0% of the basic and 55.5% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding shares of ID Cayman.
          On November 2, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the redomestication and business combination, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Comparison of SearchMedia’s Consolidated Results of Operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 Against the six-month period ended June 30, 2008
           Revenues.   Revenues increased from $31.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 to $44.9 million for six-month period ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to rapid organic growth and acquisitions. Of this $13.6 million increase in revenues, the majority was attributable to the acquisitions and the increased number of contracts entered into with clients. The total number of sales contracts increased from 600 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 to 944 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. As a result of the challenging business environment and the market downturn during the period, however, the average revenues per contract decreased from $52,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 to $47,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.
           Cost of revenues.   Total cost of revenues increased from $17.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 to $24.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. Costs of revenues for both the periods primarily consisted of leasing cost SearchMedia paid to site owners and managers. The increase of such leasing cost from $14.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 to $ 21.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 was in line with the increase in revenue.
           Operating expenses.   Total operating expenses decreased from $7.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 to $6.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009:

Table of Contents

    Sales and marketing expenses.   Sales and marketing expenses decreased from $2.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, to $2.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to decreased promotion and marketing activities in response to the market downturn.
 
    General and administrative expenses.   General and administrative expenses decreased slightly from $4.60 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, to $4.58 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to decreased staff costs and corresponding rental expenses as a result of tighter cost controls.
          Interest expense.   Interest expense decreased substantially from $2.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 to $1.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to no amortization of discount on the convertible notes incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.
           Income tax expense.   Income tax expense increased from $2.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 to $3.4 million for six-month period ended June 30, 2009. The effective tax rate decreased from 51.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 to 27.4% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, mainly due to decrease of SM Cayman’s administrative and interest expenses which are not deductible for income tax purposes.
          Net income.   As a result of the foregoing, SearchMedia had a net income of $8.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to a net income of $2.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008.

          After the redomestication and business combination, Ideation intends to reapply to the NYSE Amex in order for the ordinary shares, warrants and units of ID Cayman to maintain their listing on the NYSE Amex.

          As of November 3, 2009, there were, of record, twenty-nine holders of common stock, twelve holders of warrants and one holder of units.
          Ideation has not paid any dividends on its common stock to date and does not intend to pay dividends prior to the completion of a business combination.

1.   Principal activities, significant concentrations and risks, and basis of presentation
 
(a)   Principal activities
 
    SearchMedia International Limited (the “Company”) is a holding company and, through its subsidiary and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) (collectively the “Group”), is principally engaged in the provision of advertising services using primarily poster and digital frames that are placed inside elevators in residential and commercial buildings, light boxes and outdoor billboards primarily in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
 
(b)   Significant concentrations and risks
 
    For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, none of the Group’s customers individually contributed more than 10% of the Group’s advertising service revenues. There is no concentration of cash and bank deposit as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009.
 
(c)   Basis of presentation
 
    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s cash flows used in operating activities were US$4,342, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s cash flows generated from operating activities were US$1,970.

1.   Principal activities, significant concentrations and risks, and basis of presentation (continued)
 
(c)   Basis of presentation (continued)
 
    As discussed in note 5, on September 17, 2008, the Company issued a new promissory note of US$15,000 in exchange for the Notes (see note 5). The Notes were to mature upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a new equity financing by the Company; (ii) the closing of a reverse recapitalization transaction (the “Reverse Recapitalization”) with Ideation Acquisition Corp. (“Ideation”), a special purpose acquisition company, pursuant to a plan of merger, conversion and share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) executed on March 31, 2009; and (iii) the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement. The Reverse Recapitalization was approved by Ideation’s shareholders on October 27, 2009 and closed on October 30, 2009 (the “Closing Date”). Under the terms of the Reverse Recapitalization, US$10,000 of the outstanding new promissory note was converted into ordinary shares of Ideation as of the Closing Date (see note 5) and the remaining outstanding balance of US$5,000 and all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal sum of US$15,000 as of the Closing Date shall be paid in cash to the investor of the new promissory note.
 
    In addition, as discussed in note 4, on March 19, 2009, the Company issued interim notes of US$3,500, which were to mature upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a new equity financing by the Company; and (ii) the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization. The principal amount outstanding under these interim notes as of the Closing Date was also converted into ordinary shares of Ideation.
 
    As discussed in note 2, the Company entered into a number of business acquisitions in 2008, many of which require contingent consideration payable in cash based on the acquirees’ future earnings. The Reverse Recapitalization is intended to provide the Company with the necessary financing to repay these obligations and to fund the operations of its operating VIEs in the PRC. Following the consummation of this transaction, the Company becomes a 100%-owned subsidiary of Ideation, which has been renamed as SearchMedia Holdings Limited.
 
    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which is the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements.

4.   Short-term borrowings
 
    The Group’s short term borrowings as of June 30, 2009 represent a short-term bank loan of US$542, unsecured promissory notes of US$1,700 and an unsecured loan of US$120 and interim notes of US$3,500.
 
    On March 19, 2009, the Company issued promissory notes to a third party investor, an existing Series A preferred shareholder and certain management personnel of the Company for cash of US$1,750, US$1,500 and US$250, respectively (“Second Interim Notes”). The Second Interim Notes mature at the earlier of (i) the closing of a new equity financing by the Company; (ii) the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization, and (iii) March 31, 2009, but only in the event that the Share Exchange Agreement is not executed as of such date.  The Second Interim Notes bear interest at 12% per annum until its maturity date after which the interest rate of 20% per annum shall take effect. In connection with the Second Interim Notes, the Company, the New Note investor and the Guarantors mutually agreed to extend the Collateral to guarantee the Company’s obligations owed to the Second Interim Notes investors. On March 19, 2009, the Company granted to certain investors of the Second Interim Notes warrants to purchase 442,000 ordinary shares of the Company at an exercise price of US$0.00001 per share. The warrants are exercisable from the issuance date to May 30, 2011.
 
    As discussed in Note 1(c), the Reverse Recapitalization was closed on October 30, 2009, and the principal amount outstanding under these interim notes as of the Closing Date was converted into ordinary shares of Ideation.
 
5.   Promissory notes and warrants
 
    On March 17, 2008, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to two investors (one being an existing Series A preferred shareholder) for total cash consideration of US$12,000. The Notes bore interest at 12% per annum and matured on September 17, 2008. The investors of the Notes had the right to convert the principal amount of the Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest into the Company’s equity securities issued and sold before maturity (“the Next Equity Financing”) at a conversion price equal to 80% of the Next Equity Financing issue price.
 
    The Company also granted the Notes investors warrants to purchase the Company’s equity securities issued at the Next Equity Financing at an exercise price of 80% of the Next Equity Financing issue price (“Note Warrants”). The Note Warrants had an exercise period of three years commencing March 17, 2008. The number of shares issuable under the Note Warrants is equal to (a) 25% of the original principal amount of the Notes (“Warrant Coverage”), or US$3,000, divided by (b) 80% of the actual purchase price per share of the Next Equity Financing. Since Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares, with an issuance price of US$2.63 per share (see note 9), were the Next Equity Financing, the purchase price used to determine the number of shares issuable under the Note Warrants has been determined to be US$2.104 per share.

5.   Promissory notes and warrants (continued)
 
    The gross proceeds from the issuance the Notes of US$12,000 were first allocated to the fair value of Note Warrants of US$2,100, which was presented within accrued expenses and other payables. The Note Warrants were determined to be a liability at inception pursuant to SFAS 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” because it embodies a conditional obligation that requires the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring a number of its ordinary shares if the holder exercises the Note Warrants and at inception the obligation has a monetary value that is based solely on variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares. The remaining balance of the gross proceeds of US$9,900 was recorded as promissory notes. Total issuance costs of US$349 were initially recognized as a separate asset in the consolidated balance sheet. The discount on convertible notes of US$2,100 and the Notes issuance costs of US$349 was amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method.
 
    Subsequent to initial recognition, the intrinsic value of the contingent beneficial conversion feature of US$5,100, which was measured as of March 17, 2008, was recognized as an additional Notes discount with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital on May 30, 2008, being the date of the triggering event (that is, the issuance of the Next Equity Financing). The additional Notes discount and debt issue costs were fully amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes from May 30, 2008 to September 17, 2008.
 
    For the year ended December 31, 2008, the amortization of discount on the Notes was US$7,200, the interest on the Notes was US$720, and the amortisation of issuance costs was US$349, all of which were included in interest expense. The Note Warrant liability was recorded at its fair value of US$1,618 as of December 31, 2008, with the change in fair value of US$482 recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
    On September 17, 2008, one of the Notes investors converted its Notes with principal sum of US$2,000 and related accrued interest of US$120 into 1,042,995 Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares at a conversion price of US$2.104 per share. On the same date, the other Notes investor cancelled the Notes with principal sum of US10,000 plus accrued interest of US$600 and all the related conversion right in exchange for a new promissory note (the “New Note”) with principal sum of US$15,000. The New Note does not have a conversion right, bears interest at 12% per annum and matured on December 17, 2008. The related intrinsic value of the contingent beneficial conversion feature of US$1,182 at the extinguishment date (that is, September 17, 2008) was charged to additional paid-in capital. A loss on extinguishment of the Notes of US$3,218 was recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
    The principal amount and accrued interest of the New Note was not repaid as of December 17, 2008 and the terms of the New Note were amended through a series of agreements between the New Note investor and the Company. As of December 31, 2008, the interest rate of the New Note remained at 12% per annum and the expiration date of the Note Warrants was extended to December 17, 2013. In connection with the issuance of the New Note, the Company agreed to pledge all of its equity interests (“Collateral”) in Jieli Consulting, Jieli Network, Great Talent and Ad-Icon (collectively as “Guarantors”) to guarantee the Company’s obligations owed to the New Note investor.
 
    On March 12, 2009, the New Note remained unpaid and the New Note investor agreed with the Company (subject to certain conditions as discussed below) to extend the maturity date of the New Note to a New Maturity Date which is defined as the earlier of (i) the closing of a new equity financing by the Company; (ii) the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement; and (iii) the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement.  Further, the effective date for the increase in Warrant Coverage by US$750 for each month that the New Note remains outstanding, pro-rated by reference to the principal sum of the New Note then outstanding after any partial repayment in proportion to the principal sum of the New Note of US$15,000, is postponed to the New Maturity Date while the interest rate of the New Note shall remain at 12% per annum until the New Maturity Date after which an interest rate of 20% per annum shall take effect.
 
    In addition, the terms of the Note Warrants were amended such that (i) the Next Equity Financing shall also include the closing of an acquisition or merger of the Company; (ii) equity securities shall also include securities of the acquiring person in an acquisition; and (iii) the exercise price per share shall be equal to 80% of the price per share (on an as-if-converted basis) paid by the investors or the acquiring person.  The Note Warrants shall be converted into a warrant to purchase ordinary shares of the Special Purpose Acquisition Company’s successor pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement.
 
    On March 28, 2009, the Company’s shareholders and board of directors resolved to amend the exercise price of Note Warrants from US$2.104 per share to US$0.44 per share as a result of the re-pricing of Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares (see note 9).

7.   Income taxes
 
    Cayman Islands
 
    Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company is not subject to tax on its income or capital gains. In addition, upon any payment of dividends by the Company, no withholding tax is imposed.
 
    Peoples’ Republic of China
 
    The Company’s subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs in the PRC are governed by the income tax law of the PRC and file separate income tax returns.
 
    On March 16, 2008, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Tenth National People’s Congress passed the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (“new tax law”) which became effective on January 1, 2008. According to the new tax law, the enterprise income tax rate for entities other than certain high-tech enterprises or small-scale enterprises that earn “small profit”, as defined in the new tax law, is 25%. In addition, from January 1, 2008, certain enterprises that were previously taxed at preferential rates are subject to a five-year transition period during which the income tax rate will gradually be increased to the unified rate of 25% (the “transition rates”). Accordingly, the income tax rate applicable to the assessable profits of Jieli Consulting and Jingli, is reduced from 33% to 25% effective January 1, 2008. The income tax rate applicable to the assessable profits of Sige, which was previously taxed on a Special Concessionary Tax Rate, is 25% effective January 1, 2008. The income tax transition rates applicable to the assessable profits of Dale, which previously was subject to a preferential tax rate of 15%, are 18%, 20%, 22%, 24%, and 25%, for the years ending December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 onwards, respectively. The entities acquired by Jingli in 2008 are subject to PRC enterprise income tax at 25% on their assessable profits.
 
    Under the new tax law and related implementation rules, a withholding tax is applied on the gross amount of dividends received by the Company from its PRC subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs after January 1, 2008; however undistributed earnings prior to January 1, 2008 are exempted from withholding tax. The implementation rules provide that the withholding tax rate is 10% or the applicable rate specified in a tax treaty. The Company has not provided for income taxes on accumulated earnings of its PRC subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 since these earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely in the PRC. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional taxes that might be payable on such undistributed earnings.
 
    Hong Kong
 
    Ad-Icon and Great Talent are subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a tax rate of 16.5% on their assessable profits for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.

7.   Income taxes (continued)
 
    The realization of the future tax benefits of a deferred tax asset is dependent on future taxable income against which such tax benefits can be applied or utilized and the consideration of the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and any available tax planning strategies. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. All available evidence must be considered in the determination of whether sufficient future taxable income will exist since the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and tax loss carryforwards are utilized. Such evidence includes, but is not limited to, the financial performance of the entities, the market environment in which these entities operate and the length of relevant carryover periods. Sufficient negative evidence, such as cumulative net losses during a three-year period that includes the current year and the prior two years, may require that a valuation allowance be established against the deferred tax assets. Based on Jieli Consulting’s historical operating results and Jieli Consulting’s limited history to reasonably project its future taxable income over the periods during which the tax loss can be utilized, management believes that it is more likely than not that Jieli Consulting will not realize the benefits of the tax loss carryforwards and therefore a full valuation allowance has been provided against its deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009.

9.   Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares
 
    On March 28, 2009, in contemplation of entering into a reverse recapitalization transaction with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company, the Company’s shareholders and board of directors resolved to amend the effective conversion price of the Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares from US$2.63 per share to US$0.55 per share. The re-pricing was necessary for the holders of the Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares, which carry certain anti-dilution provisions and preferred liquidation rights, to support the contemplated transaction. As a result of the amendment of the effective conversion price of Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares, the Company issued additional 18,323,955 Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares to the existing holders of Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares. The change in conversion price does not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements since the new conversion price remains higher than the fair value of the Company’s ordinary shares as of the commitment date of the Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares.

10.   Share-based payments
 
    Effective on January 1, 2008, the board of directors and shareholders of the Company approved and adopted the 2008 Share Inventive Plan (the “Share Incentive Plan”) which provides for the granting of share options and restricted share units to the eligible employees of the Group to subscribe for ordinary shares of the Company.
 
(a)   Share options
 
    The terms and conditions of the outstanding share options as of June 30, 2009 are as follows:
                                                         
    No. of                                   Expected    
    options   Grant-date fair value   Aggregate   Expected   Expected   dividend   Risk-free
Grant date   granted   per option   fair value   life (years)   volatility   yield   interest rate
January 2008
    4,880,000     US$ 0.08 to US$0.43     US$ 1,792       7.7 to 10.0       44.69 %     0 %     5.31 %
February 2008
    40,000     US$ 0.15     US$ 6       8.0       58.75 %     0 %     5.02 %
April 2008
    3,020,000     US$ 0.12 to US$0.39     US$ 746       6.5 to 10.0       59.63 %     0 %     5.27 %
July 2008
    900,000     US$ 0.12     US$ 110       8.3 to 8.5       57.77 %     0 %     5.59 %
The Company determined the estimated grant-date fair value of share options based on the Binomial Tree option-pricing model.
The Company has accounted for these options in accordance with SFAS No. 123(revised) “Share-based payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”) by measuring compensation cost based on the grant-date fair value and recognizing the cost over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The amount of compensation cost recognized for these share options was US$350 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, of which US$17, US$20 and US$313 was allocated to cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses respectively. As of June 30, 2009, unrecognized share-based compensation cost in respect of granted share options amounted to US$655.
The option activity during the six months period ended June 30, 2009 were as follows:
                 
            Weighted average   Weighted average
            exercise price per   remaining
    Number of options   share   contractual term
Balance as of January 1, 2008
    8,840,000     US$0.79   8.6 years
Forfeited during the year
    2,095,000     US$0.40   8.6 years
 
               
Balance as of December 31, 2008
    6,745,000     US$0.91   8.7 years
 
               
    None of the outstanding options as of June 30, 2009 was exercisable.
 
(b)   Restricted share units
 
    In January 2008, February 2008 and April 2008, the Company granted restricted share units to certain senior management personnel of the Group under the Share Incentive Plan. The number of restricted share units to which each grantee will receive and the vesting of such units is contingent upon achievement of certain performance goals. The restricted share units contingently vest over a period of 30 months and have a contractual life of 10 years from the date of grant.
 
    Since management believe achievement of the performance goals is probable, the Group recognized compensation cost for these restricted share units of US$350 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, all of which was included in general and administrative expenses. The fair value of the restricted share units was estimated using the Asian option-pricing model and assumes that the performance goals will be achieved. If the performance goals are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation cost will be reversed. The assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the restricted share units are the same as those related to valuation of share options set out in note 10(a).
 
    There is no restricted share unit activity during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009

10.   Share-based payments (continued)
 
    As of June 30, 2009, unrecognized share-based compensation cost in respect of granted restricted share units amounted to US$395, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 11 months.
 
11.   Commitments and contingencies
 
(a)   Operating lease commitments
 
    The Group leases space inside elevators, light boxes and billboards to display the content of its customers’ advertisements, and office premises under operating lease arrangements. These operating leases do not contain provisions for contingent rentals.
 
    Rental expenses under operating leases were allocated to the following expense items:

13.   Subsequent events
 
(a)   Approve Acquisition of SearchMedia International Limted by Ideation Acquisition Corporation Stockholders
 
    On October 30, 2009, the Company was acquired by Ideation, as part of a reverse recapitalization transaction pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement executed on March 31, 2009. Ideation shareholders representing 82.9% of Ideation’s outstanding shares voted to approve the transaction, with fewer than 0.4% of the shares issued in Ideation’s initial public offering electing to convert their shares into cash. Following the consummation of this transaction, the Company is now a 100%-owned subsidiary of Ideation, which has been renamed SearchMedia Holdings Limited, whose common stock, units and warrants trade on the NYSE Amex under the ticker symbols IDI, IDI.U, and IDI.WS, respectively.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements give effect to the transactions described in share exchange agreement dated March 31, 2009, as amended respectively on May 27, 2009, September 8, 2009, September 22, 2009 and October 30, 2009 (the “Transaction”), based on the assumptions and adjustments set forth in the accompanying notes.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 is derived from the historical unaudited balance sheets of Ideation as of September 30, 2009 and SearchMedia as of June 30, 2009, giving effect to the Transaction, which is being accounted for as a reverse recapitalization as if it had occurred on September 30, 2009.
     The following unaudited pro forma condensed statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is derived from the historical unaudited statement of operations of Ideation for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the historical unaudited statement of income of SearchMedia for the nine months ended June 30 2009 giving effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2009. The following unaudited pro forma condensed statement of income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 is derived from the respective historical audited statements of income of Ideation and SearchMedia for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, giving effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2008. The historical balance sheet for SearchMedia as of June 30 2009 and the historical statement of income of SearchMedia for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 have not been audited or reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm.
     The Transaction is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization because it fails to meet the criteria to be considered as a business combination described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Pursuant to SFAS 141R, SearchMedia is considered to be the accounting acquirer because it will obtain control of Ideation as a result of the Transaction. The determination was primarily based on SearchMedia comprising the ongoing operations of the combined entity, the senior management of the combined company and retaining equal voting rights in the combined entity’s board of directors. However, because Ideation, the accounting acquiree, does not meet the definition of a business provided in SFAS 141R, the recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS 141R do not apply. The share exchange transaction utilizes the capital structure of Ideation and the assets and liabilities of SearchMedia are recorded at historical cost. Although SearchMedia will be deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting and financial reporting purposes, the legal status of Ideation as the surviving corporation will not change.
     ID Cayman were to issue 6,583,149 shares of Ideation’s common stock to exchange the outstanding ordinary and preferred shares of SearchMedia and issue 1,712,874 shares to certain promissory notes holders of SearchMedia. In addition, ID Cayman shall issue a maximum of 10,150,352 Earn-Out Shares (as defined in the share exchange agreement) to the SearchMedia shareholders based on the combined entity’s FY2009 Adjusted Net Income and warrantholders, will receive Earn-Out Shares if the combined entity’s FY2009 Adjusted Net Income (as defined in the share exchange agreement) exceeds $25.7 million. The final number of Earn-Out Shares to be issued is calculated in accordance with the formula set forth below. If FY2009 Adjusted Net Income equals or exceeds $38.4 million, FY2009 Adjusted Net Income shall be deemed to be equal to $38.4 million for purposes of such formula.
             
Earn-out Shares =   (FY2009 Adjusted Net Income – $25.7 million)   ×   10,150,352 Shares
    $12.7 million        
     The effect of the potential issuance of the Earn-Out Shares to SearchMedia shareholders and warrantholders is not reflected in these pro forma financial statements as the probability of achieving the aforementioned performance target could not be reasonably assessed.

     The Transaction was closed on October 30, 2009. Ideation shareholders representing 82.9% of Ideation’s outstanding shares voted to approve the transaction, with fewer than 0.4% of the shares issued in Ideation’s initial public offering electing to convert their shares into cash. The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements have been prepared based on the actual conversion by the Ideation shareholders.
     We are providing this information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements described above should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of SearchMedia and Ideation and the related notes thereto included or incorporated by reference in this report. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the Transaction taken place on the dates indicated, or the future financial position or operating results of the combined entity.
     The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are directly attributable to the Transaction, are factually supportable and, in the case of the pro forma income statements, have a recurring impact.

ISSUE OF SHARES
7.   Subject to applicable law, rules, regulations and the relevant provisions, if any, in the Memorandum of Association and these Articles and to any direction that may be given by the Company in general meeting and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing Shares, the Directors may, in their absolute discretion and without the approval of the holders of the Company’s outstanding Shares, cause the Company to issue such additional Shares (whether in certificated form or non-certificated form), or issue other securities, in one or more classes or series as they deem necessary and appropriate and determine designations, powers, preferences, privileges and other rights, including dividend rights, voting rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater or more advantageous than the powers and rights associated with the then outstanding Shares, at such times and on such other terms as they think proper. The Company shall not issue Shares or other Securities in bearer form.
 
8.   The Board may reserve such number of Shares or Securities of the Company as the Board may be required to issue in connection with the exercise of an option, right, or warrant or other Security of the Company or any other person (each a “Conversion Right”) that is exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise issuable in respect of Shares or Securities of the Company. For these purposes, to “reserve” a number of Shares shall mean that at the relevant time, such number of Shares shall be authorised but unissued, and the Board shall not issue such Shares otherwise than pursuant to the exercise.
REGISTER OF MEMBERS AND SHARE CERTIFICATES
9.   The Company shall maintain a Register of Members and every Person whose name is entered as a Member in the Register of Members shall, without payment, be entitled to receive within two (2) months after allotment or lodgment of transfer (or within such other period as the conditions of issue shall provide) one certificate for all his or her or its Shares or several certificates each for one or more of his or her or its Shares upon payment of fifty cents (US$0.50) for every certificate after the first or such lesser sum as the Directors shall from time to time determine. All certificates shall specify the Share or Shares held by that person and par value of such Shares, provided that, in respect of a Share or Shares held jointly by several persons, the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate, and delivery of a certificate for a Share to one of the several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all such holders. All certificates for Shares shall be delivered personally or sent through the post addressed to the Member entitled thereto at the Member’s registered address as appearing in the Register of Members.
 
10.   Every share certificate of the Company shall bear legends required under the applicable laws, including the Securities Act.

11


 

12.   If a share certificate shall be damaged or defaced or alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a new certificate representing the same Shares may be issued to the relevant Member upon request subject to delivery of the old certificate or (if alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed) compliance with such conditions as to evidence and indemnity and the payment of out-of-pocket expenses of the Company in connection with the request as the Directors may think fit.
 
13.   In the event that Shares are held jointly by several persons, any request may be made by any one of the joint holders and if so made shall be binding on all of the joint holders.
ORDINARY SHARES
14.   Holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of, to attend and to speak and vote at, any general meeting of the Company.
TRANSFER OF SHARES
15.   The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, approve and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members in respect of the relevant Shares.
 
16.   All instruments of transfer of Shares that have been registered shall be retained by the Company, but any instrument of transfer that the Directors decline to register shall (except in any case of fraud) be returned to the Person depositing the same.
REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE OF SHARES
17.   Subject to the Statute, these Articles, and the Memorandum of Association, the Company may:

  (b)   purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine provided that the Members shall have authorised the manner of purchase by Ordinary Resolution or the manner of purchase shall be in accordance with Articles 18 and 19 (which shall constitute authorisation for the purposes of and in accordance with section 37(3)(d) of the Statute); provided however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Member authorisation shall be required with respect to any purchase of Shares which occurs pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated as of August [     ], 2009 by and among Ideation Acquisition Corp. and certain investors listed on Exhibit A thereto; and

12


 

  (c)   make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner authorised by the Law, including without limitation out of its capital, profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares.
18.   The Company is authorised to purchase, on behalf of the Company, any Share listed on a Designated Stock Exchange in accordance with the following manner of purchase:
  (a)   the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased shall be equal to the number of issued and outstanding Shares less one Share; and
 
  (b)   the purchase shall be at such time, at such price and on such other terms as determined and agreed by the Directors in their sole discretion provided however that:
  (i)   such purchase transactions shall be in accordance with the relevant code, rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Designated Stock Exchange; and
 
  (ii)   at the time of the repurchase, the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of its business.
19.   The holder of the Shares being purchased or redeemed shall be bound to deliver up to the Company at its registered office or such other place as the Directors shall specify, the certificate(s) (if any) thereof for cancellation and thereupon the Company shall pay to him the purchase or redemption monies or consideration in respect thereof and the Shares being purchased or redeemed shall be cancelled or shall form part of the authorised but unissued capital of the Company.
 
20.   Any Share in respect of which a notice of redemption has been given shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of the Company in respect of the period after the date specified as the date of redemption in the notice of redemption.
 
21.   The redemption or purchase of any Share shall not oblige the Company to redeem or purchase of any other Share other than as may be required pursuant to applicable law and any other contractual obligations of the Company.
22.   The Directors may when making payments in respect of redemption or purchase of Shares, if authorised by the terms of issue of the Shares being redeemed or purchased or with the agreement of the holder of such Shares, make such payment either in cash or in specie.

13


 

VARIATION OF RIGHTS OF SHARES
23.
  (a)   Subject to any other provisions contained herein, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different Classes or series of Shares, the rights attached to any Class or series (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class or series) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths of the Issued Shares of that Class or series.
 
  (b)   The provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings shall apply to every such general meeting of the holders of one Class of Shares except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more persons holding or representing by proxy at least half of the Issued Shares of the Class and that any holder of Shares of the Class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.
24.   The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith.
COMMISSION ON SALE OF SHARES
25.   The Company may in so far as the Statute from time to time permits pay a commission to any Person in consideration of his or her or its subscribing or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any Shares of the Company. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the lodgment of fully or partly Paid-up Shares or partly in one way and partly in the other. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.
NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS
26.   No Person shall be recognized by the Company as holding any Share upon any trust and the Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognize (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future, or partial interest in any Share, or any interest in any fractional part of a Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by these Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.
LIEN ON SHARES
27.   The Company shall have a first and paramount lien and charge on all Shares (whether fully Paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or such Member’s estate, either alone or jointly with any other Person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s pre-existing lien (if any) thereon. The Company’s lien (if any) on a Share shall extend to all dividends or other monies payable in respect thereof.

14


 

28.   The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, nor until the expiration of fourteen (14) days after a notice in writing stating and demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder or holders for the time being of the Share, or the Person, of which the Company has notice, entitled thereto by reason of such Person’s death or bankruptcy.
 
29.   To give effect to any such sale, the Directors may authorize a Person to transfer the Shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall the title of the purchaser to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.
 
30.   The proceeds of such sale shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and the residue, if any, shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.
CALL ON SHARES
31.
  (a)   The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the Shares or by way of premium or otherwise) and not by the conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed terms, provided that no call shall be payable at less than one (1) month from the date fixed for the payment of the last preceding call, and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) days notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine. A call may be made payable by installments.
  (b)   A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorizing such call was passed.
  (c)   The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.
32.   If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on a day appointed for payment thereof, the Persons from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the sum from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate not exceeding ten per cent per annum as the Directors may determine, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of such interest either wholly or in part.

15


 

33.   Any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes payable on allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal value of the Share or by way of premium or otherwise, shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be a call duly made, notified and payable on the date on which by the terms of issue the same becomes payable, and in the case of non-payment all the relevant provisions of these Articles as to payment of interest forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.
 
34.   The Directors may, on the issue of Shares, differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls or interest to be paid and the times of payment.
 
    35.
  (a)   The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same, all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the monies so advanced may (until the same would but for such advances, become payable) pay interest at such rate not exceeding (unless the Company in general meeting shall otherwise direct) seven per cent per annum, as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such sum in advance.
 
  (b)   No such sum paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such sum to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such sum would, but for such payment, become presently payable.
FORFEITURE OF SHARES
36.
  (a)   If a Member fails to pay any call or installment of a call or to make any payment required by the terms of issue on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of the call, installment or payment remains unpaid, give notice requiring payment of so much of the call, installment or payment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. Such notice shall name a day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen (14) days from the date of giving of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which such notice was given will be liable to be forfeited.
  (b)   If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited Share and not actually paid before the forfeiture.
 
  (c)   A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.

16


 

37.   A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which, at the date of forfeiture were payable by such Person to the Company in respect of the Shares together with interest thereon, but such Person’s liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies whenever payable in respect of the Shares.
 
38.   A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or the Secretary of the Company that a Share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration shall be conclusive evidence of the fact therein stated as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The Company may receive the consideration given for the Share on any sale or disposition thereof and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and such Person shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the Share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall such Person’s title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.
 
39.   The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value of the Share or by way of premium as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.
REGISTRATION OF EMPOWERING INSTRUMENTS
40.   The Company shall be entitled to charge a fee not exceeding one dollar (US$l.00) on the registration of every probate, letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power of attorney, notice in lieu of distringas, or other instrument.
TRANSMISSION OF SHARES
41.   In case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where the deceased was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognized by the Company as having any title to his or her or its interest in the Shares, but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of any such deceased holder from any liability in respect of any Shares which had been held by him or her solely or jointly with other Persons.
42.
  (a)   Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors and subject as hereinafter provided, elect either to be registered himself or herself as holder of the Share or to make such transfer of the Share to such other Person nominated by such Person as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made and to have such Person registered as the transferee thereof, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by that Member before such Member’s death or bankruptcy as the case may be.

17


 

  (b)   If the Person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered as holder, such Person shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by such Person stating that such Person so elects.
43.   A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of the holder (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which such Person would be entitled if such Person were the registered holder of the Share, except that such Person shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company, provided however, that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such Person to elect either to be registered or to transfer the Share and if the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) days the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.
AMENDMENT OF MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION, CHANGE OF LOCATION
OF REGISTERED OFFICE & ALTERATION OF CAPITAL
44.
  (a)   Subject to and in so far as permitted by the provisions of the Statute and these Articles, the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution alter or amend its Memorandum of Association otherwise than with respect to its name and objects and may, without restricting the generality of the foregoing:
  (i)   increase the share capital by such sum to be divided into Shares of such amount or without nominal or par value as the resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine;
 
  (ii)   consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;
 
  (iii)   by subdivision of its existing Shares or any of them divide the whole or any part of its share capital into Shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum of Association or into Shares without nominal or par value;
 
  (iv)   cancel any Shares which at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any Person; and
 
  (v)   increase or decrease the number of the authorised Ordinary Shares.

18


 

  (b)   All new Shares created hereunder shall be subject to the same provisions with reference to the payment of calls, liens, transfer, transmission and forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original Share capital.
 
  (c)   Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by Special Resolution change its name or alter its objects.
 
  (d)   Without prejudice to Article 23(a) hereof and subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by Special Resolution reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve fund.
 
  (e)   Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by resolution of the Directors change the location of its registered office.
CLOSING REGISTER OF MEMBERS OR FIXING RECORD DATE
45.   For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose, the Directors of the Company may provide that the register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period but not to exceed in any case forty (40) days. If the register of Members shall be so closed for the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members such register shall be so closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting and the record date for such determination shall be the date of the closure of the register of Members.
46.   In lieu of or apart from closing the register of Members, the Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members and for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend the Directors may, at or within ninety (90) days prior to the date of declaration of such dividend fix a subsequent date as the record date for such determination.
47.   If the register of Members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members or Members entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

19

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS
52.   A general meeting shall be deemed duly constituted if, at the commencement of and throughout the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy the holder(s) of (i) at least fifty percent (50%) of all Shares carrying an entitlement to vote in issue provided always that if the Company has one Member of record the quorum shall be that one Member present in person or by proxy.

In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalization, with full power to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit for the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned).

4.3 Jurisdictions.  In order to assure the viability of Awards granted to Participants employed in various jurisdictions, the Committee may provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy, or custom applicable in the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides or is employed. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or alternative versions of, the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose; provided, however, that no such supplements, amendments, restatements, or alternative versions shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 3.1 of the Plan.

OPTIONS

The exercise price per Share subject to an Option may be amended or adjusted in the absolute discretion of the Committee, the determination of which shall be final, binding and conclusive. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Laws or any exchange rule, a re-pricing of Options mentioned in the preceding sentence shall be effective without the approval of the Company’s shareholders or the approval of the Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise price per Share subject to an Option shall not be increased without the approval of the affected Participants.
 
(b) Time and Conditions of Exercise.  The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, including exercise prior to vesting; provided that the term of any Option granted under the Plan shall not exceed ten years, except as provided in Section 11.1. The Committee shall also determine any conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised.
 
(c) Payment.  The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation (i) cash or check denominated in a currency determined by the Committee, and subject to Applicable Law, (ii) Shares held for such period of time as may be required by the Committee in order to avoid adverse financial accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof, (v) after the Trading Date the delivery of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, (vi) other property acceptable to the Committee with a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price, or (vii) any combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant shall be permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option in any method which would violate Applicable Law.
 
(d) Evidence of Grant.  All Options shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant. The Award Agreement shall include such additional provisions as may be specified by the Committee.
 
5.2 Incentive Share Options.  Incentive Share Options may be granted to Employees of the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. Incentive Share Options may not be granted to Employees of a Related


5


 

Entity or to Independent Directors or Consultants. The terms of any Incentive Share Options granted pursuant to the Plan, in addition to the requirements of Section 5.1, must comply with the following additional provisions of this Section 5.2:

(i) Ten years from the date it is granted, unless an earlier time is set in the Award Agreement;
 
(ii) 90 days after the Participant’s termination of employment as an Employee (save in the case of termination on account of Disability or death or for cause); and
 
(iii) One year after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or service on account of Disability or death. Upon the Participant’s Disability or death, any Incentive Share Options exercisable at the Participant’s Disability or death may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or representatives, by the person or persons entitled to do so pursuant to the Participant’s last will and testament, or, if the Participant fails to make testamentary disposition of such Incentive Share Option or dies intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive the Incentive Share Option pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
 
(b) Individual Dollar Limitation.  The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all Shares with respect to which Incentive Share Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed U.S.$100,000 or such other limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor provision. To the extent that Incentive Share Options are first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Share Options.
 
(c) Ten Percent Owners.  An Incentive Share Option shall be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns Shares possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company only if such Option is granted at a price that is not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is exercisable for no more than five years from the date of grant.
 
(d) Transfer Restriction.  The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Share Option within (i) two years from the date of grant of such Incentive Share Option or (ii) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant.

All Awards of Restricted Shares shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.
 
6.2 Issuance and Restrictions.  Restricted Shares shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote Restricted Shares or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Share).

6.3 Forfeiture/Repurchase.  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment or service during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Shares that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited or repurchased in accordance with the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the Committee may (a) provide in any Restricted Share Award Agreement that restrictions or forfeiture and repurchase conditions relating to Restricted Shares will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and (b) in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture and repurchase conditions relating to Restricted Shares.

6.5 Restricted Share Units.  At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the date or dates on which the Restricted Share Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate.

ARTICLE 7
 
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS
 
7.1 Award Agreement.  Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award which may include the term of an Award, the provisions applicable in the event the Participant’s employment or service terminates, and the Company’s authority to unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind an Award.
 
7.2 Limits on Transfer.  No right or interest of a Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or a Subsidiary, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or a Subsidiary. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Award shall be assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee by express provision in the Award or an amendment thereto may permit an Award (other than an Incentive Share Option) to be transferred to, exercised by and paid to certain persons or entities related to the Participant, including but not limited to members of the Participant’s family, charitable institutions, or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of the Participant’s family and/or charitable institutions, or to such other persons or entities as may be expressly approved by the Committee, pursuant to such conditions and procedures as the Committee may establish. Any permitted transfer shall be subject to the condition that the Committee receive evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax planning purposes (or to a “blind trust” in connection with the Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary to assume a position with a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution) and on a basis consistent with the Company’s lawful issue of securities.
 
7.3 Beneficiaries.  Notwithstanding Section 7.2, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If the Participant is married and resides in a community property jurisdiction, a designation of a person other than


7


 

the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.
 
7.4 Share Issuance.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such Shares is in compliance with all Applicable Laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded. All Share certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan and all Shares issued pursuant to book entry procedures are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with all Applicable Laws, and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Share certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Share. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by Applicable Law, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).
 
7.5 Paperless Administration.  Subject to Applicable Laws, the Committee may establish, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.
 
7.6 Applicable Currency.  Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, or as determined in the discretion of the Committee, all Awards shall be designated in U.S. dollars. A Participant may be required to provide evidence that any currency used to pay the exercise price of any Award were acquired and taken out of the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides in accordance with Applicable Laws, including foreign exchange control laws and regulations. In the event the exercise price for an Award is paid in Chinese Renminbi or other foreign currency, as permitted by the Committee, the amount payable will be determined by conversion from U.S. dollars at the official rate promulgated by the People’s Bank of China for Chinese Renminbi, or for jurisdictions other than the People’s Republic of China, the exchange rate as selected by the Committee on the date of exercise.

8.2 Acceleration upon a Change of Control.  Except as may otherwise be provided in any Award Agreement or any other written agreement entered into by and between the Company and a Participant, if a Change of Control occurs and a Participant’s Awards are not converted, assumed or replaced by a successor, the vesting of such Awards shall accelerate by one (1) year upon such Change of Control. Upon, or in anticipation of, a Change of Control, the Committee may in its sole discretion provide for (i) any and all Awards outstanding hereunder to terminate at a specific time in the future and shall give each Participant the right to exercise such Awards during a period of time as the Committee shall determine, (ii) either the purchase of any Award for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of such date the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’ s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), (iii) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion or the assumption of or substitution of such Award by the successor or surviving corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of Shares and prices, or (iv) provide for payment of Awards in cash based on the value of Shares on the date of the Change of Control plus reasonable interest on the Award through the date such Award would otherwise be vested or have been paid in accordance with its original terms, if necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
 
8.3 Outstanding Awards — Corporate Transactions.  In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each Award will terminate upon the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, unless the Award is assumed by the successor entity or Parent thereof in connection with the Corporate Transaction. Except as provided otherwise in an individual Award Agreement, in the event of a Corporate Transaction and:
 
(a) the Award either is (x) assumed by the successor entity or Parent thereof or replaced with a comparable Award (as determined by the Committee) with respect to shares of the capital stock (or equivalent) of the successor entity or Parent thereof or (y) replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor entity which preserves the compensation element of such Award existing at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to such Award, then such Award (if assumed), the replacement Award (if replaced), or the cash incentive program automatically shall become fully vested, exercisable and payable and be released from any restrictions on transfer (other than transfer restrictions applicable to Options) and repurchase or forfeiture rights, immediately upon termination of the Participant’s employment or service with all Service Recipients within twelve (12) months of the Corporate Transaction without cause; and
 
(b) For each Award that is neither assumed nor replaced, such portion of the Award shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable and be released from any repurchase or forfeiture rights (other than repurchase rights exercisable at Fair Market Value) for all of the Shares at the time represented by such portion of the Award, immediately prior to the specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction, provided that the Participant remains an Employee, Consultant or Director on the effective date of the Corporate Transaction.
 
8.4 Outstanding Awards — Other Changes.  In the event of any other change in the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than those specifically referred to in this Article 8, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, make such adjustments in the number and class of shares subject to Awards outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and in the per share grant or exercise price of each Award as the Committee may consider appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.
 
8.5 No Other Rights.  Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Committee under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into

shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares subject to an Award or the grant or exercise price of any Award.

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION
 
11.1 Amendment, Modification, And Termination.  With the approval of the Board, at any time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that (a) to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws, or stock exchange rules, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required, and (b) shareholder approval is required for any amendment to the Plan that (i) increases the number of Shares available under the Plan (other than any adjustment as provided by Article 8), (ii) permits the Committee to extend the term of the Plan or the exercise period for an Option beyond ten years from the date of grant, or (iii) results in a material increase in benefits or a change in eligibility requirements.
 
11.2 Awards Previously Granted.  Except with respect to amendments made pursuant to Section 11.1, no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted pursuant to the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant.
 
ARTICLE 12
 
GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
12.1 No Rights to Awards.  No Participant, employee, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, employees, and other persons uniformly.
 
12.2 No Shareholders Rights.  No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a Shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award.
 
12.3 Taxes.  No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Participant until such Participant has made arrangements acceptable to the Committee for the satisfaction of any income and employment tax withholding obligations under Applicable Laws. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable taxes (including the Participant’s payroll tax obligations) required or permitted by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of this Plan. The Committee may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of Shares) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of Shares which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award after such Shares were acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy all of the Participant’s income and payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award shall, unless specifically


11


 

approved by the Committee, be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory income and payroll tax withholding rates that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income under Applicable Law.
 
12.4 No Right to Employment or Services.  Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Service Recipient to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of any Service Recipient.
 
12.5 Effect of Plan upon Other Compensation Plans.  The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect for any Service Recipient. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of any Service Recipient: (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants, or (b) to grant or assume options or other rights or awards otherwise than under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including without limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or association.
 
12.6 Unfunded Status of Awards.  The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.
 
12.7 Indemnification.  To the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
 
12.8 Relationship to other Benefits.  No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.
 
12.9 Expenses.  The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
 
12.10 Titles and Headings.  The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
 
12.11 Fractional Shares.  No fractional Share shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.
 
12.12 Government and Other Regulations.  The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Shares or otherwise shall be subject to all Applicable Laws and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register any of the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan under the Securities Act or any other similar law in any applicable jurisdiction. If the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act


12


 

or other Applicable Laws, the Company may restrict the transfer of such Shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.
 
12.13 Governing Law.  The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands.
 
12.14 Section 409A.  To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is or may become subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and the Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretative guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulation or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related U.S. Department of Treasury guidance (including such U.S. Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines is necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and /or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related U.S. Department of Treasury guidance.
 
12.15 Appendices.  The Committee may approve such supplements, amendments or appendices to the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for purposes of compliance with applicable laws or otherwise and such supplements, amendments or appendices shall be considered a part of the Plan; provided, however, that no such supplements shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 3.1 of the Plan.
