Re: Equity Commitment Letter
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Mr. Dong YU (including his permitted assigns, the “Sponsor”) is pleased to offer this commitment, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, to purchase, directly or indirectly, equity interests in Mountain Tiger International Limited, a newly-formed exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”). It is contemplated that pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated of even date herewith (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Bona Film Group Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), Parent, and Mountain Tiger Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving company (the “Merger”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
1. Commitment. The Sponsor hereby agrees to contribute, or cause to be contributed, as an equity contribution to Parent, up to an aggregate amount equal to $125,697,403.80 (the “Contribution”), subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The proceeds of the Contribution, along with the amounts to be paid by all other Sponsors (the “Other Sponsors”) under their respective Equity Commitment Letters to Parent committing to invest in Parent which are substantially identical to this letter agreement and delivered to Parent concurrently with the delivery of this letter agreement (such aggregate amount, the “Commitments”), shall be used by Parent, to the extent necessary, to (i) fund (or cause to be funded) a portion of the Exchange Fund and any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (ii) pay (or cause to be paid through Parent or Merger Sub) related fees and expenses (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Parent Termination Fee or any Guaranteed Obligations with respect to a Parent Termination Fee under the Limited Guarantee given by the Sponsor), in each case, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the conditions of, the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary in this letter agreement, the aggregate amount of liability of the Sponsor under this letter agreement shall at no time exceed the aggregate amount of the Contribution less any portion of the Contribution that has been funded in accordance with the terms hereof.
2. Closing Conditions. The Sponsor’s obligation to make the Contribution pursuant to this letter agreement is subject to the satisfaction, prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing, of the following conditions: (a) the satisfaction or waiver at the Closing of all conditions precedent to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement set forth in Article VII thereof, (b) the portion of the Equity Financing that is to be funded by the Other Sponsors pursuant to the other Equity Commitment Letters dated as of the date hereof has been funded (or will be funded substantially concurrently if the Contribution is funded by the Sponsor), and (c) either the contemporaneous consummation of the Closing or the obtaining by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 9.6(b) of the Merger Agreement of an Order requiring Parent to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the Merger.
3. Enforcement/Recourse. Except as specifically contemplated by Section 9.6(b) of the Merger Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall have any right to enforce this letter agreement; provided that, to the extent the Company has obtained an order of specific performance pursuant to, and subject to the conditions in, Section 9.6(b) of the Merger Agreement, the Company is hereby made a third party beneficiary of the rights granted to Parent hereby and shall be entitled to specific performance to cause the Contribution to be funded (for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2 of this letter agreement). Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this letter agreement, the Sponsor is executing and delivering to the Company a Limited Guarantee (the “Limited Guarantee”) in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The Company’s (i) remedies against the Sponsor and the Other Sponsors under their respective Limited Guarantees, (ii) rights as a third party beneficiary as set forth in the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 3 and (iii) remedies against Parent under the Merger Agreement shall, and are intended to be, the sole and exclusive direct or indirect remedies available to the Company against the Sponsor, any Affiliate of the Sponsor, any former, current or future director, officer, employee or agent (as applicable) of the Sponsor or of his Affiliates, any former, current or future assignee of the Sponsor or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder, Affiliate, controlling person, representative or assignee of any of the foregoing (each such Person or entity, a “Related Person”) in respect of any liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, this letter agreement or the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation in the event Parent breaches its obligations under the Merger Agreement, whether or not such breach is caused by the Sponsor’s breach of his obligations under this letter agreement; provided that, in the event the Company successfully compels specific performance of the obligations of Parent to consummate the Merger in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, Section 9.6(b) of the Merger Agreement, and the Sponsor shall have made the Contribution (and all Other Sponsors have funded their Commitments in full and the Effective Time occurred), then neither the Company nor any other Person (including, without limitation, the Company’s equityholders, Affiliates and Subsidiaries) shall have any remedy against the Sponsor or any Related Person, including under the Limited Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this letter agreement, by its acceptance hereof, Parent acknowledges and agrees that (a) notwithstanding that the Sponsor may be a limited liability entity, no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith may be had against any Related Person, whether by the enforcement of
- 2 -
any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, and (b) no personal liability whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by Related Persons in connection with this letter agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or by their creation. In no event shall this letter agreement or the Contribution herein be enforced by any Person unless each of the unfunded other Equity Commitment Letters dated as of the date hereof is being concurrently enforced by such Person.
4. Expiration. All obligations under this letter agreement shall expire and terminate automatically and immediately upon the earliest to occur of (a) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Closing (at which time the Contribution shall be discharged), (c) the making of the Contribution by the Sponsor or his assigns, (d) the Company or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim against (i) the Sponsor under the Limited Guarantee or any Other Sponsor under the other Limited Guarantees or (ii) the Sponsor or any Related Person of the Sponsor (other than Parent and Merger Sub), any Other Sponsor or any Related Person of any Other Sponsor (other than Parent and Merger Sub), in each case, in connection with the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby (other than a claim seeking an order of specific performance of the Sponsor’s obligation to make the Contribution in the circumstances provided for in Section 3), and (e) July 1, 2016; provided that, in the event a claim by the Company or any of its Affiliates under Section 3 of this letter agreement or any claim seeking an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy against Parent or Merger Sub under Section 9.6(b) of the Merger Agreement is then pending, this letter agreement shall not terminate under clause (e) until any such claim has been resolved in a final non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction.
5. No Assignment. Neither this letter agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assignable without the prior written consent of the Sponsor (in the case of an assignment by Parent) or Parent (in the case of an assignment by the Sponsor), except that, without the prior written consent of Parent, the rights, interests or obligations under this letter agreement may be assigned and/or delegated, in whole or in part, by Sponsor to one or more of his Affiliates or to one or more private equity funds sponsored or managed by any such Affiliate. Any purported assignment of this commitment in contravention of this Section 5 shall be void.
6. No Other Beneficiaries. Except for the third party beneficiary rights provided to the Company under Section 3 of this letter agreement, this letter agreement shall be binding on the Sponsor solely for the benefit of Parent, and nothing set forth in this letter agreement is intended to or shall confer upon or give to any Person other than Parent (but solely at the direction of the Sponsor as contemplated hereby) any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce or cause Parent to enforce, the Contribution or any provisions of this letter agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this letter agreement, any Related Person shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions set forth herein that are for the benefit of any Related Person (including the provisions of Sections 3, 6, 9, 10 and 12), and all such provisions shall survive any termination of this letter agreement indefinitely. Without limiting the foregoing, Neither Parent’s, Merger Sub’s nor the Company’s creditors shall have the right to enforce this letter agreement or to cause Parent to enforce this letter agreement.

8. Severability.
