(22) original copies, with each involved Party holding one (1).
15.3 The formation, validity, execution, amendment, interpretation and
termination of this Agreement shall be subject to PRC Law.

in Shanghai in accordance with the arbitration rules of such Commission,
and the arbitration award shall be final and binding on all Parties.
15.5 Any rights, powers and remedies empowered to any Party by any provisions
herein shall not preclude any other rights, powers and remedies enjoyed by
such Party in accordance with laws and other provisions under this
Agreement, and the exercise of its rights, powers and remedies by a Party
shall not preclude its exercise of its other rights, powers and remedies
by such Party.
15.6 Any failure or delay by a Party in exercising any of its rights, powers
and remedies hereunder or in accordance with laws (hereinafter, the
"PARTY'S RIGHTS") shall not lead to a waiver of such rights, and the
waiver of any single or partial exercise of the Party's Rights shall not

Equity Pledge Agreement050408
17
circumstances shall such titles be used in or affect the interpretation of

Except for assignment by Pledgee of its rights hereunder according to
Article 15.1 of this Agreement, the amendments or supplements to this
Agreement shall take effect only when properly signed by the Parties to
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, considering the
rights and obligations of Target Company and Pledgors are severable and
independent, in case the amendment or supplement is intended to have
impact upon one Party of the Target Company and part of the Pledgors who
hold the equity interest, the amendment or supplement requires the consent
by the Target Company and the part of the Pledgors only and it is not
required to obtain the consent of other Target Company and other Pledgors
(to the extent the amendment or supplement does not have impact upon such
Pledgor).
15.11 This Agreement shall be binding on the legal successors of the Parties.
15.12 At the time of execution hereof, each of Pledgors shall sign respectively
a power of attorney (as set out in Appendix II hereto, hereinafter, the
"POWER OF ATTORNEY") to authorize any person designated by Focus Media
Technology to sign on its behalf according to this Agreement any and all
legal documents necessary for the exercise by Pledgee of Focus Media
Technology and Focus Media Digital's rights hereunder. Such Power of
Attorney shall be delivered to Focus Media Technology to keep in custody
and, when necessary, Focus Media Technology may at any time submit the
Power of Attorney to the relevant
Equity Pledge Agreement050408
18
government authority.
15.13 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, new
companies except the Target Company and its shareholders can be included
as one party of this Agreement by executing the Acknowledgement Letter in
the form of Appendix IV to this Agreement. The new companies shall enjoy
the same rights and obligations as other Target Companies; the
shareholders of the new companies shall enjoy the same rights and
obligations as other Pledgors hereunder. Considering that the rights and
obligations of the Target Company and relevant Pledgors under the
Agreement are severable and independent, the participation of the new
target companies and their shareholders will not affect the rights and
obligations of the original Target Company and relevant Pledgors, the
participation of the new target companies only requires confirmation of
Focus Media Technology and Focus Media Digital by signature. Each of the
Target Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree the
participation of the new companies and their shareholders and further
confirm that shareholders of any new target companies can pledge their
equity of the new target companies to Focus Media Technology and Focus
Media Digital according to the stipulation of this Agreement not
necessarily with consent of the original Target Company or their relevant
Pledgors.
