SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, dated as of May 1, 2009 (this “Agreement”), by and among TM
ENTERTAINMENT AND MEDIA, INC., a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware, USA (“TM” or,
following the consummation of the Share Exchange (as defined below), the “Company”), HONG KONG
MANDEFU HOLDINGS LTD, a limited company incorporated in Hong Kong (“HMDF”), FUJIAN XXXXX XXXX

XXXXXXXX XXX, an individual, FUJIAN FENZHONG MEDIA CO., LTD., a limited liability company operating
in media business established in PRC (“FF” and, together with HMDF and ZH, the “HMDF Entities”),
controlled by ZH by contractual agreements and arrangements, THOUSAND SPACE HOLDING LIMITED, a
company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Thousand”), and BRIGHT ELITE
MANAGEMENT LIMITED, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Bright”).
Each of the HMDF Entities, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Ou Xxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxx, Thousand and Bright is sometimes
individually referred to herein as a “HMDF Party,” and collectively as the “HMDF Parties” and each
HMDF Party that from time to time is also a registered shareholder of HMDF is sometimes
individually referred to herein as an “HMDF Shareholder” and collectively as the “HMDF
Shareholders”. Each of the Parties to this Agreement is individually referred to herein as a
“Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex A hereto.
BACKGROUND
The board of directors of each of TM and HMDF have declared this Agreement advisable and
approved the Transactions, including the acquisition by TM of the HMDF Shares from the HMDF
Shareholders through a share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange”) pursuant to which TM will
initially (i) issue to the HMDF Shareholders an aggregate of 19,500,000 TM Shares and (ii) pay to
the HMDF Shareholders $20,000,000, in each case, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section
1.1(d) below, in exchange for the HMDF Shares.
The HMDF Shareholders are the direct owners of all of the outstanding capital stock of HMDF
(all such shares of capital stock are referred to as the “HMDF Shares”).
The Share Exchange requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock cast at the meeting, provided, that the Share Exchange will
only proceed if the Public Stockholders owning no more than 30% of the Publicly Held Common Stock
exercise their Conversion Rights.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
Share Exchange
Section 1.1 Share Exchange. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, at
the Closing, each of the HMDF Shareholders shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to TM
free and clear of all Liens, all of the right, title and interest of each such HMDF Shareholder in
and to the HMDF Shares set forth opposite such HMDF Shareholder’s name on Schedule A. In
exchange for the HMDF Shares, TM shall sell, issue and deliver to the HMDF Shareholders free and
clear of all Liens, the number of TM Shares set forth opposite each such HMDF Shareholder’s name on
Schedule B as well as the other consideration set forth in Section 1.2 hereof.
Section 1.2 Payments.
(a) Payment. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, TM shall pay by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to HMDF $150,000 on the later of (i) the date hereof and
(ii) the date that HMDF furnishes TM with the HMDF Financial Statements; provided that (x) the HMDF
Financial Statements shall have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are covered by an
audit report issued by an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to TM
and are suitable for inclusion the Proxy Statement, as determined by TM; (y) the Net Income of the
HMDF Entities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (the “HMDF FY2008 Net Income”), as
derived from the HMDF Financial Statements, is not less than $15,000,000 and (z) the HMDF Financial
Statements shall have been furnished to TM no later than five (5) days after the date hereof.
(b) Initial Equity Payment. Subject to Section 1.2(d) below, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions hereof, at the Closing, TM shall issue and deliver to each HMDF Shareholder the
number of TM Shares set forth opposite such HMDF Shareholder’s name on Schedule B in the
column entitled “Initial Equity Payment,” representing, in the aggregate, 19,500,000 TM Shares (the
“Initial Equity Payment”).
(c) Initial Cash Payment. Subject to Section 1.2(d) below, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereof, at the Closing, TM shall pay by wire transfer in immediately available funds to
each HMDF Shareholder the amount set forth opposite such HMDF Shareholder’s name on Schedule
B in the column entitled “Initial Cash Payment,” representing, in the aggregate, $20,000,000
(the “Initial Cash Payment”).
(d) Adjustment to Initial Equity Payment and Initial Cash Payment. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in the event that the HMDF FY2008 Net Income, as derived from the HMDF
Financial Statements, is less than $25,000,000, the Initial Equity Payment and Initial Cash Payment
payable by TM at Closing shall each be reduced to an amount computed by multiplying the Initial
Equity Payment and Initial Cash Payment, respectively, by a fraction, of which (x) the numerator is
the actual HMDF FY2008 Net Income and (y) the denominator is $25,000,000; provided, however, in no
event shall such numerator be less than $15,000,000.
2
(e) Earn-Out Share Payments. The Company shall issue and deliver up to an aggregate of
15,000,000 TM Shares (the “Earn-Out Shares”) to the HMDF Shareholders in accordance with the terms
set forth below.
(i) Targeted Net Income Threshold Achieved. If the Adjusted Net Income of the Company, as
derived from its annual report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for FY2009, FY2010 or FY2011, as
applicable, equals or exceeds the Targeted Net Income Threshold for such fiscal year, as certified
in writing by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, then the
Company shall issue and deliver to each HMDF Shareholder, the number of Earn-Out Shares set forth
opposite such HMDF Shareholder’s name in the applicable column of Schedule B with respect
to such fiscal year. Such delivery of Earn-Out Shares is referred to herein as the “Earn-Out Share
Payment.” Subject to Section 1.2(e)(ii) below, the applicable portion of the Earn-Out Shares shall
be issued and delivered to the HMDF Shareholders within thirty (30) days following the filing by
the Company of its Form 10-K with the SEC for such fiscal year, which contains audited financial
statements for such applicable year that are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and that
indicates that the Targeted Net Income Threshold for such fiscal year has been achieved.
(ii) Targeted Net Income Threshold Not Achieved. If the Company’s Adjusted Net Income, as
derived from its Form 10-K for FY2009, FY2010 or FY2011, as applicable, does not equal or exceed
the Targeted Net Income Threshold for such fiscal year, as certified in writing by the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, then the Company will not issue any
Earn-Out Shares applicable to such fiscal year (the “Non-Achieving Fiscal Year”); provided,
however, that if the Company’s Adjusted Net Income in the fiscal year immediately succeeding the
Non-Achieving Fiscal Year, as derived from the Company’s Form 10-K for such immediately succeeding
fiscal year, exceeds the sum of (x) the Targeted Net Income Threshold for such immediately
succeeding fiscal year and (y) the shortfall amount by which Adjusted Net Income failed to achieve
the Targeted Net Income Threshold for the Non-Achieving Fiscal Year, as certified in writing by the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, then the Company shall issue
and deliver to each HMDF Shareholder, the number of Earn-Out Shares set forth opposite such HMDF
Shareholder’s name in the applicable column of Schedule B with respect to the Non-Achieving
Fiscal Year within thirty (30) days following the filing by the Company of its Form 10-K with the
SEC for such immediately succeeding fiscal year.
(iii) Earn-Out Share Number. The aggregate number of Earn-Out Shares to be issued and
delivered to the HMDF Shareholders if the Adjusted Net Income of the Company achieves or exceeds
the applicable Targeted Net Income Threshold is (A) 1,000,000 shares for FY2009 threshold, (B)
7,000,000 shares for FY2010 threshold and (C) 7,000,000 shares for FY2011 threshold.
(iv) Filing of Form 10-K. From the Closing until it has filed a Form 10-K (or any successor
form) for FY2012 (unless the Earn-Out Shares applicable to FY2011 have been issued and delivered),
the Company shall file its Form 10-K within the time-frames specified by the SEC for the filing of
such form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is no longer required or eligible to file
a Form 10-K, then for purposes of determining whether Targeted Net Income Thresholds have been
achieved under Sections 1.2(e)(i)-(ii), the Adjusted Net Income of the Company for any particular
fiscal year shall be as derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for such
fiscal year.
3
(f) Lock-Up and Registration Rights. The TM Shares (including the Earn-Out Shares, if any)
issued and delivered to the HMDF Shareholders shall be subject to Lock-Up Agreements that are
substantially in the form of Exhibit A and shall be entitled to customary registration
rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit
D.
(g) Warrants Payment. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of the first full fiscal quarter
ending after the Closing Date and each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, the Company shall pay to
the HMDF Shareholders, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the cash proceeds received
by the Company from the exercise of the Publicly Held TM Warrants during such fiscal quarter;
provided, however, that in no event shall that aggregate amount paid by the Company under this
Section 1.2(g) exceed $20,888,888. The amounts to be paid by the Company under this Section 1.2(g)
shall be paid to each HMDF Shareholder in accordance with the percentage ownership set forth

of incorporation. Except as set forth in Section 3.2 of the HMDF Disclosure Schedule, each of the
HMDF Entities is duly qualified to do business in each of the jurisdictions in which the property

and enforceable obligation of each of them, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,

rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

any agreement granting any security holder of TM the right to cause TM to register shares of the

stock.
Section 4.2 Organization and Standing. TM is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. TM is duly qualified to do business in each
of the jurisdictions in which the property owned, leased or operated by TM or the nature of the
business which it conducts requires qualification, except where the failure to so qualify would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on TM. TM has the requisite power and
authority to own, lease and operate its tangible assets and properties and to carry on its business
as now being conducted and, subject to necessary approvals of the relevant Government Authorities,
as presently contemplated to be conducted. TM has delivered to HMDF true and complete copies of

corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Transaction Documents
to which it is a Party and to consummate the Transactions. The execution and delivery by TM of

approved by the TM Board and no other corporate proceedings on the part of TM are necessary to
authorize this Agreement and the Transactions. All action, corporate and otherwise, necessary to
be taken by TM to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the
Transaction Documents and all other agreements and instruments delivered by TM in connection with
the Transactions have been duly and validly taken. Each of this Agreement and the Transaction

rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

indirectly, any capital stock, membership interest, partnership interest, joint venture interest or

time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any
obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other
than a Permitted Lien) upon any of the assets and properties of TM, under, any provision of: (i)
any TM Constituent Instrument; (ii) any TM Material Contract (as defined in Section 4.23(a) hereof)

assets owned by TM to be reassessed or revalued by any Governmental Authority, except, in the case
of clauses (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, any such items that, individually or in
the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
on TM.
Section 4.6 Consents and Approvals. Except as set forth in Section 4.6 of the TM
Disclosure Schedule, no Consent of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or permit from,
any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to TM in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of

20
Section 4.7 SEC Documents. TM has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and
other documents required to be filed by TM with the SEC since October 17, 2007, pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 14(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act (the “TM SEC Documents”). As of its respective
filing date, each TM SEC Document complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such TM
SEC Document, and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except to the extent
that information contained in any TM SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later filed
TM SEC Document, none of the TM SEC Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
consolidated financial statements of TM included in the TM SEC Documents comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations
of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP (except, in the
case of unaudited statements, as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC) applied on a
consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and
fairly present the consolidated financial position of TM as of the dates thereof and the
consolidated results of their operations and cash flows as at the respective dates of and for the
periods referred to in such financial statements (subject, in the case of unaudited financial
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and the omission of notes to the extent permitted
by Regulation S-X of the SEC).
Section 4.8 Internal Accounting Controls. TM maintains a system of internal accounting
controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are executed in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (b) transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (c) access to assets is permitted only
in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (d) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and
appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. TM’s officers have established
disclosure controls and procedures for TM and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to
ensure that material information relating to TM is made known to the officers by others within
those entities.
Section 4.9 Solvency. Based on the financial condition of TM as of the Closing Date
(and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred and the monies in the Trust Fund are released to
TM), (i) TM’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid
on or in respect of TM’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature, (ii) TM’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry
on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted,
including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business
conducted by TM and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the
current cash flow of TM, together with the proceeds TM would receive, were it to liquidate all of
its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay
all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. TM does not
intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

than travel advances and other advances made in the ordinary course of its business;

any other Person under any agreement or by the operation of any Law. No deficiency with respect to
any Taxes has been proposed, asserted or assessed against TM, and no requests for waivers of the

ARTICLE X
Indemnification
Section 10.1 Survival . The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in
this Agreement, including the schedules and exhibits hereto, shall not survive the Closing;
provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3,
4.1(a), 4.2, 4.3, 4.7, 4.20 and 4.21 (the “Basic Representations”) shall survive the Closing for a
period equal to any applicable statute of limitations. All of the covenants and obligations of the
Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing unless they expire sooner in
accordance with their terms. The term during which any representation, warranty, or covenant
survives hereunder is referred to as the “Survival Period.” Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if written notice is properly given pursuant to this Article X with respect to any
alleged breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement to which such Party is entitled
to be indemnified hereunder prior to the expiration of such representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement, such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive, with respect to the
subject matter
of such written notice only, until the applicable claim is finally resolved in accordance with
the provisions of this Article X.
Section 10.2 Indemnification by the HMDF Shareholders.
(a) The HMDF Shareholders shall, subject to the terms hereof, severally (pro rata in
proportion to their pre-Closing percentage ownership of the HMDF Shares) and not jointly indemnify,
defend and hold harmless TM (which term, for the purposes of this Article X shall include any of
TM’s successors) and permitted assigns (the “TM Indemnified Parties”) from and against any
liabilities, loss, claims, damages, fines, penalties, expenses (including costs of investigation
and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) (collectively, “Damages”) arising from:
(i) any breach of any Basic Representation made by the HMDF Entities in this Agreement (including
the HMDF Disclosure Schedule) or in any certificate delivered by the HMDF Entities pursuant to this
Agreement; (ii) any breach by any HMDF Entity of its covenants, agreements or obligations in this
Agreement to be performed or complied with by such HMDF Entity; (iii) any breach of any Basic
Representation made by such HMDF Shareholder in this Agreement (including the HMDF Disclosure
Schedule) or in any certificate delivered by such HMDF Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement; and
(iv) any breach by such HMDF Shareholder of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations in this
Agreement to be performed or complied with by such HMDF Shareholder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this
Agreement that relate specifically and solely to a particular HMDF Shareholder are the obligations
of that particular HMDF Shareholder only and the other HMDF Shareholders shall not be responsible
therefor.
(b) The amount of any and all Damages suffered by TM Indemnified Parties shall be paid in
cash, or, at the option of the HMDF Shareholders, may be recovered by delivery of a specified
number of TM Shares owned by the HMDF Shareholders (the “Returned Shares”) for repurchase by TM on
terms set forth in this Section 10.2(b). If TM suffers Damages and Damages are paid by the HMDF
Shareholders through the delivery of Returned Shares in lieu of a cash payment, then such Returned
Shares shall be cancelled. If the HMDF Shareholders opt to deliver Returned Shares instead of cash
hereunder, the number of Returned Shares to be returned by the HMDF Shareholders shall be equal to
the aggregate amount of the indemnifiable Damages agreed to be paid by the HMDF Shareholders,
divided by $8.00.
44
(c) Pursuant to the provisions of this Article X, if any claim for indemnification is to be
brought against the HMDF Shareholders on behalf of or by right of TM, such claim shall be
determined and approved by a committee of directors comprised of (i) all Independent Directors, and
(ii) a director nominated by the TM Representatives, each as elected pursuant to Section 8.4(a)
(the “Independent Committee”). Any settlement of any claim described in the immediately preceding
sentence shall be determined and approved by the Independent Committee. Any determination or
approval of the Independent Committee made pursuant to the provisions of this Article X shall be by
majority vote.
Section 10.3 Indemnification by TM.
(a) The Company shall, subject to the terms hereof, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each
of the HMDF Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (the “HMDF Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any Damages arising from: (i) any breach of any Basic Representation
made by TM in this Agreement (including the TM Disclosure Schedule) hereof or in any certificate
delivered by TM pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) any breach by TM of its covenants, agreements
or obligations in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by TM.
(b) The amount of any and all Damages suffered by the HMDF Indemnified Parties shall be paid
in cash or, at the option of the Company, newly issued TM Shares. The number of TM Shares to be

Damages agreed to be paid by the Company, divided by $8.00.
Section 10.4 Limitations on Indemnity.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the TM Indemnified
Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) or 10.2(a)(iii),
unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages to the TM Indemnified Parties with respect to such
matters under Sections 10.2(a)(i) and (a)(iii) exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only
to the extent such Damages exceed the Deductible; provided that the aggregate amount of Damages
payable by the HMDF Shareholders to the TM Indemnified Parties pursuant to Sections 10.2(a)(i) and
10.2(a)(iii) shall not exceed $25,000,000 (the “Cap”) .
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the HMDF Parties
shall not be liable to, or indemnify the TM Indemnified Parties for any Damages (i) resulting from
any nonfulfillment or breach of any such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations of
which HMDF disclosed to TM on or prior to the date hereof; or (ii) that are punitive (except to the
extent constituting third party punitive claims), special, consequential, incidental, exemplary or
otherwise not actual damages. This Article X constitutes TM’s sole and exclusive remedy for any
and all Damages or other claims relating to or arising from this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby.
45
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no HMDF Party shall
be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3, unless and until the aggregate amount of
Damages with respect to such matters under Section 10.3 exceeds the Deductible, and then only to
the extent such Damages exceed the Deductible; provided that the aggregate amount of Damages
payable by the Company to the HMDF Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.3(a)(i) shall not
exceed the Cap.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall
not be liable to, or indemnify any HMDF Party for any Damages (i) resulting from any nonfulfillment
or breach of any such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations of which TM disclosed
to the HMDF Parties on or prior to the date hereof; or (ii) that are punitive (except to the extent
constituting third party punitive claims), special,
consequential, incidental, exemplary or otherwise not actual damages. This Article X
constitutes the HMDF Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Damages or other claims
relating to or arising from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 10.5 Defense of Third Party Claims. If the Independent Committee determines to
make a claim for indemnification under Section 10.2 or any HMDF Party makes a claim for
indemnification under Section 10.3 (each as applicable an “Indemnitee”), the Independent Committee
or such HMDF Party as applicable shall notify the indemnifying party (an “Indemnitor”) of the claim
in writing promptly after receiving notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation,
demand or other claim against the Indemnitee (if by a third party), describing the claim, the
amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof in reasonable detail (such written
notice, an “Indemnification Notice”). Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the
defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to an
Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnitor’s expense, and at its option shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof ; provided, that the Indemnitee shall be entitled to
participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose;
provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the
Indemnitee and shall not be recoverable from such Indemnitor under this Article X. If the
Indemnitor shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to settle
such claims; provided, that the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any
settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, such settlement does not expressly and
unconditionally release the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such
claim. If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitor shall not be liable for any amount
required to be paid by the Indemnitee that exceeds, where the Indemnitee has unreasonably withheld
or delayed consent in connection with the proposed compromise or settlement of a third party claim,
the amount for which that third party claim could have been settled pursuant to that proposed
compromise or settlement. In all cases, the Indemnitee shall provide its reasonable cooperation
with the Indemnitor in defense of claims or litigation, including by making employees, information
and documentation reasonably available. If the Indemnitor shall not assume the defense of any such
action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim, the Indemnitee may defend against such
matter as it deems appropriate; provided that the Indemnitee may not settle any such matter without
the written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) if the Indemnitee is seeking or will seek indemnification hereunder with
respect to such matter.
46
Section 10.6 Determining Damages. The amount of Damages subject to indemnification
under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 shall be calculated net of (i) any Tax Benefit inuring to the
Indemnitee on account of such Damages, (ii) any reserves set forth in any of the HMDF Financial
Statements or the HMDF Interim Financial Statements relating to such Damages and (iii) any
insurance proceeds or other amounts under indemnification agreements received or receivable by the
Indemnitee on account of such Damages. If the Indemnitee receives a Tax Benefit on account of such
Damages after an indemnification payment is made to it, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the
Person or
Persons that made such indemnification payment the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or
times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is realized by the Indemnitee. For purposes
hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean any refund of Taxes to be paid or reduction in the amount of Taxes
which otherwise would be paid by the Indemnitee, in each case computed at the highest marginal tax
rates applicable to the recipient of such benefit. To the extent Damages are recoverable by
insurance, the Indemnitees shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain maximum
recovery from such insurance. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any
Indemnitee with respect to Damages for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a
refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall be made promptly to the Person or
Persons that provided such indemnity payments to such Indemnitee. The Indemnitors shall be
subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitees in respect of Damages indemnified by the Indemnitors.
The Indemnitees shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Damages upon and
after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Damages. For
Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat all payments made under this Article X as adjustments to
the consideration received for the HMDF Shares.
Section 10.7 Right of Setoff . To the extent that any Party is obligated to indemnify
any other Party after Closing under the provisions of this Article X for Damages reduced to a
monetary amount, such Party after Closing shall have the right to decrease any amount due and owing
or to be due and owing under any agreement with the other Party, whether under this Agreement or
any other agreement between such Parties on the one hand, and any of the other Party or any of
their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries or controlled persons or entities on the other.
Section 10.8 Limitation on Recourse; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) No claim shall be brought or maintained by any Party or its respective successors or
permitted assigns against any officer, director, partner, member, agent, representative, Affiliate,
equity holder, successor or permitted assign of any Party which is not otherwise expressly
identified as a Party, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue
of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of any Party set forth or contained in this
Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.
47
(b) Except as set forth in Section 10.3, the provisions of this Article X are for the sole
benefit of the Parties and nothing in this Article X, express or implied, is intended to or shall
confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature
whatsoever under or by reason of this Article X (it being understood that only the Independent
Committee and not TM, any Person acting on its behalf or any other Person, may exercise any
indemnity rights under Section 10.2 or any other provision of Article XIV).
Section 10.9. Liquidated Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event a
committed Permitted Financing contemplated by Section 9.1(m)(i) shall not have been consummated at
or prior to the Closing and the amount of cash and cash equivalents owned by the Company at the
Closing shall be less than approximately $10 million (after making the payments required pursuant
to Sections 1.2(c) and 12.7 hereof (and any and all other fees and expenses associated with the
Transactions for the account of TM) and to repay, perform or satisfy any Permitted Financing (other
than periodic interest payments) due by its terms within the thirty-six (36) months following the
Closing), then in the event the closing and funding of such Permitted Financing or any other
Permitted Financing that would have satisfied such condition had commitments therefor been in place
prior to the Closing does not take place for any reason by the sixtieth (60th) calendar day
following the Closing, (i) the TM Representatives shall transfer the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by them as of the Closing and held pursuant to existing escrow
arrangements to the Company for no consideration and the Voting Agreement shall be of no further
force and effect with respect to such shares of Common Stock. The provisions of this Section 10.9
are intended to compensate the HMDF Shareholders for the damages for which no reasonable estimate
can be made that will result from the lack of adequate financing for the Company after the Closing,
in light of its future development, and are not intended as a penalty. At or prior to the Closing,
the escrow arrangements pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the TM
Representatives are held shall be modified accordingly to reflect the obligations of the TM
Representatives under this Section 10.9.
