Execution Version

ROLLOVER AGREEMENT

This ROLLOVER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 29, 2015 by and among AirMedia Holdings Ltd., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”), and the shareholders of AirMedia Group Inc., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), listed on Schedule A hereto (each, a “Rollover Shareholder” and collectively, the “Rollover Shareholders”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Parent, AirMedia Merger Company Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company have, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Rollover Shareholder is the registered holder and beneficial owner (as defined under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of the number of ordinary shares, par value US$0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), including Shares represented by ADS, each representing two Shares (collectively, the “Owned Shares”) as set forth in the column titled “ Owned Shares” opposite such Rollover Shareholder’s name in Part I on Schedule A hereto;

WHEREAS, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, each of the Rollover Shareholders agrees:

(a) to the cancellation of his, her or its Owned Shares, as set forth in Part II on Schedule A hereto, for no Merger Consideration (such Owned Shares, the “Rollover Shares”), and

(b) to subscribe for, or to cause any of his/her/its affiliates to subscribe for, the number of newly issued ordinary shares of Parent (the “Parent Shares”) immediately prior to the Closing as set forth in the column titled “Parent Shares” opposite such Rollover Shareholder’s name on Schedule B hereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, the Rollover Shareholders are entering into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Rollover Shareholders acknowledge that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements of the Rollover Shareholders set forth in this Agreement.


AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent and the Rollover Shareholders hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Cancellation of Rollover Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Rollover Shareholder agrees that the Rollover Shares held by him, her or it shall be cancelled at the Effective Time for nil consideration, and other than the Rollover Shares, all other equity securities of the Company held by each Rollover Shareholder, if any, shall be treated as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Section 2. Subscription of Parent Shares. Immediately prior to the Closing, Parent shall issue to each Rollover Shareholder, and such Rollover Shareholder (or, if designated by such Rollover Shareholder in writing, an Affiliate of such Rollover Shareholder) shall subscribe for, the number of Parent Shares, at US$0.0001 per share, as set forth opposite such Rollover Shareholder’s name on Schedule B hereto. For purposes of this Section, “Affiliate” shall include an exempted company with limited liability, incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands or the Cayman Islands, that is set up to hold certain Parent Shares in preparation for the future vesting or exercise of share incentive awards to be granted by the Parent, as applicable (such entity, the “ESOP SPV”). Each Rollover Shareholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Rollover Shareholder shall have no right to any Merger Consideration in respect of its Rollover Shares.

Section 3. Closing. Subject to the satisfaction in full (or waiver) of all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 of the Merger Agreement (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived, as applicable, at the Closing), the closing of the subscription and issuance of Parent Shares contemplated in Section 2 of this Agreement shall take place immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 4. Deposit of Rollover Shares. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Rollover Shareholders and any agent of the Rollover Shareholders holding certificates evidencing any Rollover Shares shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent all certificates representing Rollover Shares in such Persons’ possession, for disposition in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; such certificates and documents shall be held by Parent or any agent authorized by Parent until the Closing.

Section 5. Irrevocable Election; Restrictions on Transfers.

(a) The execution of this Agreement by the Rollover Shareholders evidences, subject to Section 8 and the proviso in Section 10(l), the irrevocable election and agreement by the Rollover Shareholders to subscribe for Parent Shares and agree to the cancellation of their respective Rollover Shares on the terms and conditions set forth herein. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Rollover Shareholder covenants and agrees, severally and not jointly, that from the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, such Rollover Shareholder shall not, without the prior written consent by the other Rollover Shareholders, directly or indirectly, (i) tender any equity securities of the Company into any tender or exchange offer, (ii) sell (constructively or otherwise), transfer, pledge, hypothecate, grant, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”), or enter into any Contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the Transfer of, any Owned Shares or other equity securities of the Company or any right, title or interest thereto or therein (including by operation of law) including, without limitation, any swap transaction, option, warrant, forward purchase or sale transaction, futures transaction, cap transaction, floor transaction, collar transaction or any other similar transaction (including any option with respect to any such transaction) or combination of any such transactions, in each case involving any equity securities of the Company and (x) has, or would reasonably be expected to have, the effect of reducing or limiting such Rollover Shareholder’s economic interest in such Owned Shares or other equity securities of the Company and/or (y) grants a third party the right to vote or direct the voting of such Owned Shares or other equity securities of the Company (any such transaction, a “Derivative Transaction”), (iii) deposit Owned Shares or any equity securities of the Company into a voting trust or grant any proxy or power of attorney or enter into a voting agreement (other than that certain Voting Agreement of even date herewith by and among Parent and certain shareholders of the Company thereto (the “Voting Agreement”)) with respect to any Owned Shares or other equity securities of the Company, (iv) knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of such Rollover Shareholder set forth in this Agreement untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing, disabling, or delaying such Rollover Shareholder from performing any of his, her, or its obligations under this Agreement, or (v) agree (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv). In addition, each Rollover Shareholder covenants and agrees, severally and not jointly, that from the date hereof until the Closing, such Rollover Shareholder shall not carry out any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) without obtaining prior written approval from the Company. Any purported Transfer in violation of this paragraph shall be void.

 

2


(b) Each Rollover Shareholder covenants and agrees, severally and not jointly, that such Rollover Shareholder shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent of any new Shares with respect to which beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) is acquired by such Rollover Shareholder, including, without limitation, by purchase, as a result of a share dividend, share split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, exchange or change of such shares, or upon exercise or conversion of any securities of the Company, if any, after the date hereof. Subject to the following sentence, any such Shares shall automatically become subject to the terms of this Agreement, and Part II of Schedule A and Schedule B hereto shall be deemed amended accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than the Rollover Shares, no such Shares as may be acquired by Mambo Fiesta Limited from time to time following the date hereof shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement without prior written consent from all Rollover Shareholders.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties of the Rollover Shareholders. To induce Parent to accept the Rollover Shares and issue the Parent Shares, each Rollover Shareholder makes the following representations and warranties, severally and not jointly, to Parent, each and all of which shall be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing:

(a) Ownership of Shares. (i) Such Rollover Shareholder (A) is and, immediately prior to the Closing will be, the beneficial owner of, and has and will have good and valid title to, the Owned Shares set forth opposite its name in Part II on Schedule A hereto, free and clear of Liens other than as created by this Agreement and the Voting Agreement, and (B) has and will have sole or shared (together with Affiliates controlled by such Rollover Shareholder) voting power, power of disposition, and power to demand dissenter’s rights (if applicable), in each case with respect to all of such securities, with no limitations, qualifications, or restrictions on such rights, subject to applicable United States federal securities laws, laws of the Cayman Islands, laws of the British Virgin Islands, laws of the People’s Republic of China and the terms of this Agreement and the Voting Agreement; (ii) such Rollover Shareholder’s Owned Shares are not subject to any voting trust agreement or other Contract to which such Rollover Shareholder is a party restricting or otherwise relating to the voting or Transfer of such Rollover Shareholder’s Owned Shares other than this Agreement and the Voting Agreement; and (iii) such Rollover Shareholder has not Transferred any of such Rollover Shareholder’s Owned Shares pursuant to any Derivative Transaction. As of the date hereof, other than as set forth in Part I on Schedule A hereto, such Rollover Shareholder does not own, beneficially or of record, any Shares, securities of the Company, or any direct or indirect interest in any such securities (including by way of derivative securities). Such Rollover Shareholder has not appointed or granted any proxy or power of attorney that is still in effect with respect to any of such Rollover Shareholder’s Owned Shares, except as contemplated by this Agreement or the Voting Agreement.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Rollover Shareholder.

If such Rollover Shareholder is married, and any of such Rollover Shareholder’s Owned Shares constitute community property or otherwise need spousal or other approval for this Agreement to be legal, valid and binding, this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Rollover Shareholder’s spouse and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Rollover Shareholder’s spouse, enforceable against such Rollover Shareholder’s spouse in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except for the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, (i) no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority is necessary on the part of such Rollover Shareholder for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Rollover Shareholder or the consummation by such Rollover Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by such Rollover Shareholder nor the consummation by such Rollover Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by such Rollover Shareholder with any of the provisions hereof shall (A) conflict with or violate any provision of the organizational documents of any such Rollover Shareholder which is an entity, (B) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on property or assets of such Rollover Shareholder pursuant to any Contract to which such Rollover Shareholder is a party or by which such Rollover Shareholder or any property or asset of such Rollover Shareholder is bound or affected, or (C) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Rollover Shareholder or any of such Rollover Shareholder’s properties or assets.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this Article V and Article VI shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (in the English language) and shall be deemed duly given (a) upon receipt if delivered personally, or if by email or facsimile, upon confirmation of receipt by email or facsimile, (b) one Business Day after being sent by express courier service, or (c) three Business Days after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. All notices hereunder shall be delivered to the address set forth on the signature pages hereto under each party’s name, or pursuant to such other instructions as may be designated in writing by the party to receive such notice.

Section 6.2 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only as broad as is enforceable.

Section 6.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Rollover Agreement and other documents and instruments and other agreements as contemplated by or referred to herein and therein together embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

Section 6.4 Specific Performance. Each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any covenant or agreement of such Shareholder in this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Each Shareholder agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such entity.

Section 6.5 Amendments; Waivers. At any time prior to the Expiration Time, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Shareholders, Parent and the Company, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.


Section 6.6 Governing Law. This Agreement and the schedules hereto shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.7 Dispute Resolution; Jurisdiction; Enforcement. All actions arising under the laws of the State of New York out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York, provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such action, such action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York. Each of the parties hereto agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action in the manner provided in Section 6.1 hereof or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Laws, will be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York for the purpose of any action arising under the laws of the State of New York out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 6.7, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim that (A) the action in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such action is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 6.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND PERFORM THE ACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.8.


Section 6.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. The Company is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement, with full rights of enforcement of this Agreement against the Shareholders. Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, there are no other third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any person other than the parties hereto (and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns), any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.10 Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties and the Company, except that Parent may assign this Agreement (in whole but not in part) in connection with a permitted assignment of the Merger Agreement by Parent, as applicable. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, in the case of each Shareholder, his, her or its estate, heirs, beneficiaries, personal representatives and executors. Parent shall cause Merger Sub, and any assignee thereof, to perform its obligations under this Agreement and shall be responsible for any failure of Merger Sub or such assignee to comply with provision of this Agreement applicable to Merger Sub.

Section 6.11 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that it or he has been represented by independent counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.

Section 6.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more consecutive counterparts (including by facsimile or email pdf format), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (by telecopy, email pdf format or otherwise) to the other parties; provided, however, that if any of the Shareholders fails for any reason to execute, or perform their obligations under, this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain effective as to all parties executing this Agreement.
