1.3. Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the Company or Merger Sub:
(a) the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated in the Merger so as to be identical in all respects to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be Digital Turbine Media, Inc., and, as so amended and restated, such certificate of incorporation shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable law;
(b) the bylaws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated in the Merger so as to be identical in all respects to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be Digital Turbine Media, Inc., and, as so amended and restated, such bylaws shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable law;
(c) the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporations certificate of incorporation and bylaws; and
(d) the Merger shall, from and after the Effective Time, have all of the effects provided by the DGCL and applicable law.
1.4. Exchange Agent.

At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock. From and after the Effective Time, Persons who held shares of Company Capital Stock shall cease to have rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein.
5
(c) Exchange Procedures.
(i) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail) to each holder of record of any shares of Company Capital Stock (A) a letter of transmittal (a Letter of Transmittal) in the form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, Parent and the Exchange Agent (which shall be based on the Exchange Agents standard form and will include additional representations, warranties, releases and covenants consistent with those contained in the Support Agreement), which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates representing such Capital Stock (each a Certificate) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 1.4.(f) below) to the Exchange Agent, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Certificates in exchange for the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued in book-entry form (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock after aggregating all shares of Parent Common Stock which such Company Stockholder is entitled to receive hereunder) to be issued in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof and as set forth on the Closing Consideration Schedule.
(ii) Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent, together with a Letter of Transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the Exchange Agent shall issue to the holder of such Certificate that number of uncertificated shares of Parent Common Stock that such Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.6 and as set forth on the Closing Consideration Schedule. Prior to accepting any Certificates, the Exchange Agent may require compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.4.(c) each Certificate shall be deemed, at any time after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the applicable consideration as contemplated by this Article I subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates on the applicable consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates hereunder.
(iii) In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Capital Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that any Certificate surrendered in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.4.(c) shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer Taxes and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the applicable consideration pursuant to Section 1.6 and as set forth on the Closing Consideration Schedule to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.
(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. At and after the Effective Time, each holder of issued and outstanding Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as a holder of securities of the Company, except for the right of a Company Stockholder to surrender its, his or her Stock Certificate(s) in exchange for the consideration payable in respect of such Company Capital Stock hereunder and such holders share, if any, of any distributions of amounts held in escrow pursuant to Section 1.11 hereof, or in the case of a Dissenting Stockholder, to perfect its, his or her right to receive payment (if any) for Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL, if applicable. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Stock Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in (and subject to compliance with the provisions of) this Article I, except as otherwise provided by Law.
6
(e) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger.
(f) Lost, Stolen or Damaged Stock Certificates. In the event that any Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the delivery by such Person of an indemnification agreement in such form and containing such substance acceptable to Parent and the Exchange Agent and, if required by the Exchange Agent, the posting of a bond in such amount as the Exchange Agent may determine reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Stock Certificate the consideration to be paid with respect thereto, subject to the terms and conditions in this Article I.
(g) Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement (including consideration held in escrow pursuant to Section 1.11) to any Company Equityholder or other Person such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.4(g) shall limit the Companys ability and obligation to withhold any Taxes in connection with the exercise of vested Company Options by a holder at or prior to the Closing, including by requiring such holder to pay the Company cash in an amount equal to any applicable withholding Taxes.
1.5. Subsequent Actions. If at any time after the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation shall determine, in its sole discretion, or shall be advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

1.7. Treatment of Series C Warrants.

No interest will be paid or accrued upon surrender of any Series C Warrants.
(e) If the consideration payable to Series C Warrantholders is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the relevant Series C Warrant surrendered in exchange therefor is
9
registered, it shall be a condition to the payment of such amounts that the Series C Warrant so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise be in proper form for transfer, that such transfer otherwise be proper, that the Person requesting such transfer pay to the Surviving Corporation, any transfer or other Taxes payable by reason of the foregoing or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid and that the transferee duly execute and deliver to Parent a Letter of Transmittal.
1.8. Treatment of Company Options and Company Restricted Stock.
(a) Each share of Company Restricted Stock and each Company Option, in each case, held by a non-employee director of the Company and outstanding as of the date hereof, shall vest in full and, as applicable, become exercisable, immediately following the Effective Time.
(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holders of Company
Options, each Company Option (or any portion thereof) that is outstanding at the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested and, after giving effect to any accelerated vesting provision in effect on the date hereof, including pursuant to
Section 1.8(a))) and that is held by a holder who is a Continuing Service Provider will be assumed by Parent. Each Company Option assumed by Parent will continue to be subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such
option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including without limitation applicable vesting and exercise restrictions (with vesting based, in the case of time-based vesting restrictions, on continued services to the Company, the Surviving
Corporation, Parent or Parents Subsidiaries through the applicable vesting date), except for administrative changes that are not adverse to the holder of the Company Option or to which the holder expressly consents, and except that
(i) each Company Option will, following the Effective Time, cover (in lieu of shares of Company stock) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of Company shares subject to the outstanding Company Option
immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, (ii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
such assumed Company Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the per share exercise price for such Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole
cent, and (iii) all references to the Company in the Company Equity Plan and the stock option agreements will instead be references to Parent. It is the intention of the parties that, (i) to the extent any Company Option so
assumed by Parent qualified as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code prior to the Effective Time, such Company Option shall qualify following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option to the extent permitted
under Section 422 of the Code, and (ii) the assumption of the Company Options by Parent shall comply with Sections 409A and 424 of the Code, and this Section 1.8 shall be construed in a manner consistent with such intent.
(c) By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holders of Company Options, each outstanding,
unexercised Company Option (or any portion thereof) that is vested and exercisable (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting provisions in effect on the date hereof, including pursuant to Section 1.8.(a)) at the Effective Time and
that is held by a holder who is not a Continuing Service Provider (each, a Deemed Exercise Option) shall, in each case, be cancelled at the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive, subject to satisfaction of the
withholding obligations contemplated by
Section 1.4(g), on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of
(x) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Common Consideration Equivalent Amount over the applicable exercise price of such Deemed Exercise Option, times (y) the number of Company shares subject to the outstanding, unexercised Deemed
Exercise Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (ii) the Closing Price Per Share, rounded down to the nearest whole share. For the avoidance of doubt,
10
if the applicable exercise price of a Deemed Exercise Option exceeds the Per Share Common Consideration Equivalent Amount, no payment shall be made in respect of such Deemed Exercise Option, and
the holder thereof shall have no further rights or interests therein from and after the Effective Time. By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holders of Company Options, each outstanding,

In addition, prior to the Effective Time, if requested by Parent, the Company shall provide notice to each holder of Company Options and/or Company Restricted Stock of the anticipated treatment of such awards in the Merger, which notice shall be subject to the advance review and consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has properly demanded and not effectively withdrawn or lost such holders appraisal rights for such shares under the DGCL or other similar rights (if any) under applicable law (collectively, the Dissenting Shares), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive a portion of the consideration as set forth in Section 1.6 hereof, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by the DGCL or other applicable law (if any).
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.9.(a) hereof, if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holders appraisal rights with respect to such shares under the DGCL (and/or any other similar rights under other applicable law (if any such other rights have been purportedly invoked)), then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration set forth in and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon surrender of the certificate(s) formerly representing such shares.
(c) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL (and of any similar demand purportedly made under other applicable law) and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Prior to the Closing Date, any communication to be made by the Company to any Company Stockholder with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in advance and shall not be presented to any Company Stockholder prior to the Company receiving Parents consent.

The Company shall consult with Parent and its accountants with respect to the preparation of the Pre-Closing Statement, and the Pre-Closing Statement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent. The Pre-Closing Statement shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed schedules indicating a calculation of the Estimated Working Capital and Estimated Net Debt as of the Closing Date and of the Adjustment Amount.
(ii) Adjustment Amount. As used herein, the Adjustment Amount shall mean an amount, which may be a positive or a negative number, equal to (A) the Estimated Working Capital as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement minus the Working Capital Target, minus (B) the Estimated Net Debt as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement. For clarity, no dollar amount shall be counted twice for purposes of determining the Adjustment Amount.
(b) Post-Closing Adjustment.
(i) Closing Statement. No later than 135 calendar days following the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative an unaudited statement of Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the Closing Statement), which shall be prepared by Parents personnel in accordance with GAAP as applied in the preparation of the Financial Statements and shall fairly present in all material respects the Working Capital (the Closing Working Capital) and Net Debt (Closing Net Debt) of the Company as of the Closing Date. The Closing Statement shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed schedules indicating a calculation of the Closing Working Capital and Closing Net Debt as of the Closing Date and of the Final Adjustment Amount.
14
(ii) Final Adjustment Amount. As used herein, the Final Adjustment Amount shall mean an amount, which may be a positive or a negative number, equal to (A)(I) the Closing Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Statement minus (II) the Estimated Working Capital as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement, minus (B)(I) the Closing Net Debt as set forth in the Closing Statement minus (II) the Estimated Net Debt as set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement. For clarity, no dollar amount shall be counted twice for purposes of determining the Final Adjustment Amount.

(ii) If the Final Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall, within five Business Days of the determination of the Final Adjustment Amount, execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent, instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute to Parent from the Escrow Account a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Final Adjustment Amount divided by the Price Per Share; provided, that if the Final Adjustment Amount is a negative number and the absolute value of the Final Adjustment Amount exceeds the Stock Escrow Amount, Parent shall be entitled to recover, following distribution of the entire Stock Escrow Amount, from the Company Equityholders directly each Company Equityholders Pro Rata Portion of such excess amount.
(d) Disputed Final Adjustment Amount. If the Stockholder Representative disagrees with the Final Adjustment Amount as set forth in the Closing Statement, the Stockholder Representative shall notify Parent of such disagreement in writing specifying in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement within thirty (30) calendar days after the Stockholder Representatives receipt of the Closing Statement. If the Stockholder Representative fails to provide such notification within such period, then the Final Adjustment Amount as set forth in the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the parties.
(e) Resolution of Disputed Final Adjustment Amount. Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall use their reasonable efforts for a period of 30 calendar days after the Stockholder Representatives delivery of such notice (or such longer period as Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall mutually agree upon) to resolve any disagreements raised by the Stockholder Representative with respect to the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative resolve such disagreements, then the Final Adjustment Amount, as agreed between Parent and the Stockholder Representative, shall be the Final Adjustment Amount for purposes of this Agreement. If, at the end of such period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve such disagreements, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly select and retain an independent auditor of recognized national standing to resolve any remaining disagreements; provided that Pricewaterhouse Coopers, L.L.P will be the independent auditor if Parent and the Stockholder Representative cannot agree on the selection of such independent auditor. The engagement agreement for the independent auditor must specify that the independent auditor will act as a neutral arbiter and not as a fiduciary to or advocate of either Parent or the Stockholder Representative. The independent auditor will consider only those items and amounts that Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve. In making its determination, the independent auditor shall not assign any value with respect to a
15
disputed amount that is greater than the highest value for such amount claimed by either Parent or the Stockholder Representative or that is less than the lowest value for such amount claimed by either Parent or the Stockholder Representative. The determination by such independent auditor shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. If the independent auditor is retained pursuant to this Section 1.12.(e), the Final Adjustment Amount as finally determined by the independent auditor shall be the Final Adjustment Amount for purposes of this Agreement. Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall use their reasonable efforts to cause the independent auditor to make its determination within 30 calendar days of accepting its selection. The fees and expenses of such independent auditor shall be borne by Parent and the Stockholder Representative (solely on behalf of the Company Equityholders) in proportion to the aggregate amount of all disputed items as to which such partys claim was unsuccessful (i.e., if there are $1,000,000 of disputed items and the independent auditor determines that the Stockholder Representatives claim prevails with respect to $250,000 of such disputed items and Parents claim prevails with respect to $750,000 of such disputed items, then the Stockholder Representative (solely on behalf of the Company Equityholders) would be obligated to pay 75% of the fees and expenses and Parent would be obligated to pay 25% of the fees and expenses).
1.13. Company Designees. The parties shall cooperate to take all actions reasonably necessary so that as of immediately following the Effective Time (a) the number of directors that will comprise all of the members of the board of directors of Parent is increased by two (2) and (b) two (2) individuals currently serving on the Company Board and designated by the Company within five (5) calendar days after the date hereof (provided such designees are reasonably satisfactory to Parents board of directors, including any applicable committee thereof)) (the Company Designees) are appointed to Parents board of directors. The Company Designees shall be appointed for a term of service until concluding at the next annual meeting of the stockholders of Parent to occur after the Effective Time and shall serve until their respective successors are duly elected. Each Company Designees shall provide the same type of information the Company customarily requests of any other director appointee, including the Companys standard Directors and Officer Questionnaire and (in the case of non-employee directors) shall be elgibible to receive compensation pursuant to the Companys non-employee director compensation plans, in effect, from time to time. It is understood that a condition of appointment of a Company Designee is that such Company Designees shall qualify to be a director, all in accordance with the organizational documents of Parent and at least one of the Company Designees shall qualify as independent under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company and Parent agree that in the event that any of the Company Designees does not meet the requirements of a Company Designee or is unable or otherwise fails to serve, for any reason, as a director of Parent at the Effective Time, the Company shall have the right to designate another individual to serve as a director of Parents board of directors in place of such Company Designee; provided that such other individual to be appointed to Parents board of directors immediately following the Effective Time shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parents board of directors (including any applicable committee thereof) and shall meet the requirements for a Company Designee listed above.

With respect to any Straddle Period, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Straddle Period that is deemed to end on the Closing Date shall (A) in the case of Property Taxes, deemed to be the amount of
68
such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the number of days of such Straddle Period in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and (2) the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (B) in the of all other Taxes, determined as though the taxable year terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates to utilize net operating losses of the Company after the Closing.
For purposes of clarifying the meaning of several indemnification by each Company Equityholder under this Section 7.2(a), (x) any portion of the Escrowed Account that is distributed to Parent pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed to have been severally recovered from all of the Company Equityholders, and (y) with respect to Claims for indemnification under this Section 7.2(a) that are not recovered from the Escrow Account, (i) if any indemnification payment is owed, each Company Equityholders indemnification obligation pursuant to this Article VII shall be equal to (and limited to) such Company Equityholders Pro Rata Portion of the applicable Damages with respect to which the indemnification payment is made (except in the case of fraud (which shall be interpreted to require the element of scienter) committed by a Company Equityholder and (ii) such Claim shall be subject to Section 7.2.(h).
(b) By Parent. Parent shall indemnify, save and hold harmless the Company Equityholders (collectively, the Company Equityholder Indemnitees), from and against any and all Damages incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation made by Parent or Merger Sub in or pursuant to Article III of this Agreement (in each case without giving effect to materiality qualifications or Material Adverse Effect qualifications with respect to the calculation of Damages incurred by a Company Equityholder Indemnitee); or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by Parent or Merger Sub in or pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Corporation shall not be considered a Company Equityholder Indemnitee for purposes of this Article VII.
(c) Cooperation. The indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall cooperate with each other and their attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of any lawsuit or action arising from third party claims and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the party not controlling the defense of such lawsuit or action may, at its own cost, participate in (but not control) the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.
(d) Indemnifying Parties. References in this Article VII to indemnifying party when a Parent Indemnitee is an indemnified party shall be deemed to be references to the Company Equityholders collectively from and after the Closing (and to the Company Equityholders and the Company prior to the Closing) and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Stockholder Representative shall represent the Company Equityholders with respect to all such matters as provided in Section 7.2.(g) except for any right or obligation to receive or make payment (and any notice requirement with respect to any notice required to be provided under this Article VII by an indemnified party shall be deemed satisfied if such notice is delivered to the Stockholder Representative).
(e) Procedure for Indemnification; Defense of Third-Party Claims.
(i) If an indemnification claim for Damages pursuant to this Article VII (a Claim) is to be made by an indemnified party hereunder for any matter not involving a third party claim, such claim shall be asserted by the indemnified party by delivery of a written notice describing the claim with reasonable specificity, a good faith estimate of the amount thereof (if known) and the basis thereof (a Claim Notice) to the indemnifying party as soon as reasonably practicable after the
69
indemnified party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which is reasonably likely to give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Article VII, provided, that the failure of the indemnified party to give prompt notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. Following the delivery of a Claim Notice, the indemnifying party and its Representatives shall be given access (including electronic access, to the extent available) at reasonable times as they may reasonably require to the Books and Records of the Company and Pocket Gear and access to such personnel or representatives of the Company and its Representatives, including but not limited to the individuals responsible for the matters that are subject of the Claim Notice, at reasonable times as they may reasonably require for the purposes of investigating or resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in the Claim Notice; provided that the indemnified party shall be entitled to withhold information from the indemnifying party if its provision to the indemnifying party would cause the attorney-client privilege thereof to be waived and there is no method of providing such information to the indemnifying party in a manner which would not result in such a waiver.
(ii) If a Claim is to be made by an indemnified party as a result of a third-party claim (a Third Party Claim), the indemnified party shall, subject to this Article VII, give a Claim Notice to the indemnifying party with respect to such Claim as soon as practicable after the indemnified party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Article VII, provided, that the failure of the indemnified party to give prompt notice hereunder shall not affect the rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed by a third party against an indemnified party, written notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable, provided that the failure of the indemnified party to give prompt notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled, if it so elects at the cost and expense of the Company Equityholders, to participate in the defense of such claim and consult with Parent in any defense of such claim and Parent shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments or recommendations of the Stockholder Representative with respect to the defense of such claim, it being understood that Parent shall have the sole right to control such defense (including the right to settle any such claim, subject to Section 7.2(e)(iii), if applicable); provided, further, that the parties shall cooperate in good faith to implement reasonable arrangements designed to preserve any existing attorney-client privilege; provided, further, that the indemnified party shall be entitled to withhold information from the indemnifying party if its provision to the indemnifying party would cause the attorney-client privilege thereof to be waived and there is no method of providing such information to the indemnifying party in a manner which would not result in such a waiver.
(iii) Except for third-party claims (A) seeking non-monetary remedy, (B) seeking claims for equitable relief, or (C) involving potential criminal liability, if the Stockholder Representative provides written notice to Parent within 30 days after receipt of a Claim Notice in respect of a third-party claim for which a Parent Indemnitee is seeking indemnification hereunder, which notice by the Stockholder Representative irrevocably acknowledges the Company Equityholders obligation to indemnify such claim fully, a Parent Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement of such third-party claim without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(iv) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an indemnified party shall be entitled under this Article VII shall be determined: (a) by the written agreement between Parent and the Stockholder Representative; (b) by a decision of the Arbitrator as contemplated by Section 9.16; or (c) by any other means to which Parent and the
70
Stockholder Representative shall agree. Within thirty days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the indemnifying party shall deliver to the indemnified party a written response. If any dispute with respect to the matters set forth in the Claim Notice is not resolved within thirty days following the delivery by the indemnifying party of such response, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall each have the right to submit such dispute to dispute resolution in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.16. If it shall be determined upon resolution of a Claim as provided herein that a Parent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, such Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover Damages as provided in Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2.(b) hereof. If it shall be determined upon resolution of a Claim as provided herein that a Company Equityholder Indemnitee is entitled to recover any amount from Parent pursuant to this Article VII, Parent shall satisfy its indemnification obligations hereunder by, at Parents sole election, either (A) delivering to the Company Equityholder Indemnitees shares of Common Stock having a value equal to such amount (which shares shall be valued at the Price Per Share for this purpose) or (B) paying to the Company Equityholders such amount by check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
(f) Provisions Relating to Damages.
(i) The term Damages as used in this Article VII is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against a Parent Indemnitee, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by a Parent Indemnitee in the absence of third-party claims. Payments by a party of amounts for which such party is indemnified hereunder shall not be a condition precedent to recovery. No Company Equityholder shall have any right to reimbursement or contribution from, subrogation to or indemnification from the Surviving Corporation (or any Affiliate thereof) with respect to any indemnification claim of a Parent Indemnitee against any Company Equityholder hereunder or otherwise in connection with this Agreement.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Damages as used in this Article VII (A) shall be calculated net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the indemnified party with respect to the applicable Claim (but Damages shall include a reasonable estimate of Damages resulting from increased future premiums (if any) resulting from such Claim) and (B) the fees and expenses of only one firm of attorneys (and, where applicable, separate local counsel in the relevant jurisdictions) representing the indemnified parties shall be included in Damages unless said firm of attorneys determines that a conflict of interest would make joint representation of all indemnified parties inadvisable.
(iii) The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on any representations, warranties, covenants and obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedies based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any party be liable for, and Damages shall not include, any punitive damages (except for punitive damages that are the subject of third party claims) and no multiple of profits or multiple of cash flow or similar valuation methodologies based on multiples shall be used in calculating the amount of any Damages. For the avoidance of doubt, any recovery of consequential damages by an indemnified party hereunder will be limited to consequential damages that an indemnified party would have the right to recover under applicable general principles of contract law under the circumstances (e.g. reasonably foreseeable damages); provided that nothing in this sentence will limit the ability of an indemnified party to recover any consequential damages that are the subject of a third party claim.
71
(v) The amount of any indemnifiable losses payable under this Article VII shall be net of any Tax Benefits actually realized by any Person that is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement directly as a result of such indemnifiable loss. Tax Benefit means any Tax refund, Tax credit or other reduction in otherwise required Tax payments actually realized for the taxable year in which the indemnified losses were incurred (as such actually realized amount is determined in good faith by such Person that is entitled to indemnification).
(g) Appointment of the Stockholder Representative.
(i) By executing this Agreement, the Company (and, upon execution of the Written Consent or a Stockholder Transmittal Letter, each Company Equityholder) shall be deemed to have constituted and appointed, effective from and after the date of this Agreement, Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of each Company Equityholder to act as the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.2.(g). In the event of the resignation, removal, dissolution, liquidation, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of the Stockholder Representative, the Company Equityholders shall promptly appoint a successor Stockholder Representative (and in any event within ten Business Days of such vacancy), and such appointment shall become effective as to any such successor when a copy of such instrument shall have been delivered to Parent. The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time. The Company Equityholders holding a majority of the Pro Rata Portion of all of the Company Equityholders shall have the right to remove a Stockholder Representative and to appoint a successor Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative shall have full power and authority to represent all of the Company Equityholders and their successors with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement, and all actions taken by the Stockholder Representative hereunder shall be binding upon all such Company Equityholders as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of them, and no Company Equityholders shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Stockholder Representative shall take any and all actions that it believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement for and on behalf of the Company Equityholders as if the Company Equityholders were acting on their own behalf, including giving and receiving any notice or instruction permitted or required under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement by the Stockholder Representative or any Company Equityholders, interpreting all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, authorizing payments to be made with respect hereto, defending all Claims against the Company Equityholders pursuant to Section 7.2(a) of this Agreement, consenting to, compromising or settling all indemnification claims, conducting negotiations with Parent and its agents regarding such claims, dealing with Parent under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, taking any and all other actions specified in or contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and engaging counsel, accountants or other agents in connection with the foregoing matters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof on behalf of all of the Company Equityholders.
(ii) The Stockholder Representative has been duly authorized by the Company Equityholders for or on behalf of each Company Equityholder, following the Effective Time, to:
(A) take all actions required by, and exercise all rights granted to, the Stockholder Representative in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;
72
(B) receive all notices or other documents given or to be given to the Company Equityholders by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement;
(C) receive and accept service of legal process in connection with any claim or other proceeding against the Company Equityholders arising under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement;
(D) undertake, compromise, defend and settle any such suit or proceeding on behalf of the Company Equityholders arising under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Article VII hereof) or the Escrow Agreement;
(E) execute and deliver all agreements, certificates and documents required or deemed appropriate by the Stockholder Representative in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Escrow Agreement;
(F) engage special counsel, accountants and other advisors and incur such other expenses in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement;
(G) work with Parent to resolve any issues relating to the determination and final accounting of Working Capital and the Final Adjustment Amount; and
(H) take such other action as the Stockholder Representative may deem appropriate, including, without limitation:
(I) agreeing to any modification or amendment of or waiver with respect to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and executing and delivering an agreement of such modification or amendment or waiver;
(II) agreeing to any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII hereof; and
(III) all such other matters as the Stockholder Representative may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the intents and purposes of this Agreement.
(iii) The Stockholder Representative shall receive no compensation for services as the Stockholder Representative other than pursuant to the terms of that of that certain engagement letter to be entered into by and among the Stockholder Representative, the Company and certain of the Company Equityholders. The Stockholder Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the Stockholder Representatives services pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Stockholder Representatives gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company Equityholders will indemnify (based on each such Company Equityholders Pro Rata Portion), defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, Representative Losses) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representatives execution and performance of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross
73
negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Company Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholder Representative by the Company Equityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund and (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Account at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Equityholders; provided, that while this section allows the Stockholder Representative to be paid from the Expense Fund and the Escrow Account, this does not relieve the Company Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Equityholders or otherwise. The Company Equityholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement. None of Parent, the Company or Merger Sub shall have any obligation to reimburse the Stockholder Representative for any such expenses.
(iv) Without limiting the generality of this Section 7.2.(g), following the Effective Time, the Company Equityholders agree that the Stockholder Representative shall act as representative of the Company Equityholders for all purposes under this Article VII. Parent agrees that any claim for indemnification made by any of the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to this Agreement shall be made exclusively through the Stockholder Representative acting on behalf of the Company Equityholders (and the Company Equityholders agree that any such claim against the Company Equityholders by a Parent Indemnitee may be made by providing notice of such claim to the Stockholder Representative).
(v) The Stockholder Representative is hereby appointed and constituted the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each Company Equityholder, with full power in his, her or its name and on his, her or its behalf to act according to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in the absolute discretion of the Stockholder Representative and in general to do all things and to perform all acts. This power of attorney and all authority hereby conferred is granted and shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any Company Equityholder, by operation of law (whether by such Company Equityholders death, disability protective supervision) or any other event. Without limitation to the foregoing, this power of attorney is to ensure the performance of a special obligation, and, accordingly, each Company Equityholder hereby renounces its, his or her right to renounce this power of attorney unilaterally. Each Company Equityholder hereby waives any and all defenses that may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding the power of attorney granted in this Section 7.2.(g), no agreement, instrument, acknowledgement or other act or document shall be ineffective by reason only of the Company Equityholders having signed or given such directly instead of the Stockholder Representative.
(vi) Any action taken by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 7.2.(g) shall be effective and absolutely binding on each Company Equityholder notwithstanding any contrary action of, or direction from, any Company Equityholder.
(vii) Upon the Closing, the Company will wire to the Stockholder Representative US$25,000(the Expense Fund), which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Stockholder Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Company Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or
74
willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. Contemporaneous with or as soon as practicable following the completion of the Stockholder Representatives responsibilities hereunder, the Stockholder Representative shall disburse the balance of the Expense Fund to the Company Equityholders based on such Company Equityholders Pro Rata Portion of such balance. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Equityholders at the time of Closing. The parties agree that the Stockholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund. If any tax reporting is required with respect to the ultimate distribution of any balance of the Expense Fund, then the Stockholder Representative will provide to Parent or its designated agent, upon request, information regarding the amounts distributed to each Company Equityholders, to be used by Parent or its agent in completing any required tax reporting. Any portion of the Expense Fund that remains undeliverable or unclaimed after six months of the initial delivery attempt shall promptly be paid to Parent and handled in the same manner as other unclaimed funds as provided in the Escrow Agreement.
(h) Limitations on Indemnity.
(i) Neither Parent, on the one hand, nor any of the Company Equityholders, on the other hand, shall be liable under this Article VII for any Damages until the aggregate amount otherwise due to the Company Equityholder Indemnitees or Parent Indemnitees, as the case may be, exceeds an accumulated total of $350,000 (the Basket); provided, however, that this limitation shall apply only to the extent a party is entitled to indemnification exclusively under Section 7.2 (a)(i) (in the case of a claim for Damages by the Parent Indemnitees) or Section 7.2.(b)(i) hereof (in the case of a claim for Damages by Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Company Equityholder Indemnitees) and shall not apply to breaches of the Fundamental Representations or in the case of fraud (which shall be interpreted to require the element of scienter). Once the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds the Basket, then the Company Equityholder Indemnitees or Parent Indemnitees, as the case may be, shall have the right to recover all Damages from and including the first dollar of damages without regard to the Basket, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article VII.
(ii) The parties agree and acknowledge that in no event shall (A) the aggregate liability of the Company Equityholders in connection with indemnification claims pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) exceed $4,500,000 (including any amounts recovered from the Escrow) except for breaches of Fundamental Representations, breaches of IP Representations or in the case of fraud (which shall be interpreted to require the element of scienter) or (B) Parents aggregate liability in connection with indemnification claims pursuant to Section 7.2.(b)(i) exceed $4,500,000 except for breaches of the Fundamental Representations or in the case of fraud (which shall be interpreted to require the element of scienter). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree and acknowledge that in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Company Equityholders in connection with indemnification claims for breaches of the IP Representations exceed $20,000,000 in the aggregate (including any amounts recovered from the Escrow). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree and acknowledge that in no event shall (1) the aggregate liability of the Company Equityholders in connection with indemnification claims pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ix) exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Aggregate Consideration in the aggregate (including any amounts recovered from the Escrow) and (2) the Company Equityholders have any liability in connection with indemnification claims pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ix) after the earlier of (X) the full settlement and release of claims related to the matter set forth on Schedule 7.2(a)(ix) or (Y) the third anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that if Parent submits a Claim Notice with respect to any of the matters set forth on Schedule 7.2(a)(ix) as a result of a Third Party Claim that is made prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, then the Company Equityholders will be continue to be responsible any Damages of Parent Indemnitees incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to the indemnification claims set forth in such Claim Notice irrespective of whether such Damages are incurred prior to, on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date.
75
(iii) The parties agree and acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) subject to Section 7.2.(h)(iii)(B), the aggregate liability of the Company Equityholders in connection with indemnification claims pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (including with respect to breaches Fundamental Representation) shall not exceed the total value of the Aggregate Consideration (valued at the Price Per Share) payable to the Company Equityholders hereunder (including the Stock Escrow Amount), (B) no Company Equityholder shall be liable to any Parent Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VII for any Damages in excess, in the aggregate, of the total value of the Aggregate Consideration (valued at the Price Per Share) payable to such Company Equityholder hereunder (including any such Company Equityholders Pro Rata Allocation of the Stock Escrow Amount), except in the case of fraud (which shall be interpreted to require the element of scienter) committed by a Company Equityholder (and in the event of such fraud only with respect to the Company Equityholder who committed such fraud) and (C) Parent shall not be liable to the Company Equityholder Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VII for any Damages in excess, in the aggregate, of the total value of the Aggregate Consideration (valued at the Price Per Share) payable to the Company Equityholders hereunder (including the Stock Escrow Amount).
(iv) the Parent Indemnitees and the Company Equityholder Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a) for any Damages underlying any such indemnification claim to the extent that such Damage was specifically taken into account in the calculation of Final Adjustment Amount or in the determination of the Aggregate Consideration (including any adjustment thereto contemplated by Section 1.12) (it being understood that nothing in this Section 7.2.(h)(iv) shall limit the right of any indemnified party to recover any such Damages to the extent such Damages exceed the amount specifically taken into account in the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount or the Aggregate Consideration).
7.3. Escrow Account.
(a) In the event of any claim for indemnification under Section 7.2(a) the Parent Indemnitees shall first recover any Damages from the Escrow Account. If the then remaining Escrowed Shares in the Escrow Account are insufficient to cover Damages arising from such Claim, then, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Parent Indemnitees may seek recovery for the remaining amount of such Damages directly from each Company Equityholder in an amount not to exceed such Company Equityholders Pro Rata Portion of such remaining amount of Damages; provided, however, that the Company Equityholders may elect to satisfy their indemnification obligations hereunder by (in lieu of cash payment), delivering to Parent shares of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form equal to such amount (which shares shall be valued at the Price Per Share, rounded to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock).
(b) Within five (5) Business Days after the resolution pursuant to Section 7.2.(e)(iii) hereof of a Claim for which a Parent Indemnitee is entitled to recover Damages from the Escrow Account, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver from the Escrow Account to Parent a number of shares of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form equal to the amount of Damages divided by the Price Per Share (which shares shall be valued at the Price Per Share, rounded to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) (or if there are insufficient shares in the Escrow Account to cover such Damages, all shares of Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Account).
76
(c) Within five (5) Business Days after the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver from the Escrow Account to each Company Equityholder such Company Equityholders Pro Rata Allocation of (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock remaining in the Escrow Account minus (ii) (A) the Pending Claims Amount determined as of the one year anniversary of the Closing divided by (B) the Price Per Share.
7.4. Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud (but without limiting any limitations on remedies as a result of fraud that are expressly set forth in this Article VII), this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnitees and the Company Equityholder Indemnitees from and after the Closing Date for any and all claims arising under this Agreement, including, without limitation, claims of inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief.

UNCONDITIONAL SECURED GUARANTY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT
This UNCONDITIONAL SECURED GUARANTY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is entered into as of , 2014, by MANDALAY DIGITAL GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (Guarantor) in favor of SILICON VALLEY BANK (Bank).
For and in consideration of all extensions of credit, loans and other financial accommodations provided by Bank to Appia, Inc. (Borrower), which loans were and will be made pursuant to an Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement among Borrower and Bank, dated as of , 2014, as amended from time to time, and any and all modifications, extensions or renewals thereof (the Loan Agreement), Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt and complete payment of all Obligations and Borrower s performance of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than any warrant or other equity instruments) according to their terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them under the Loan Agreement.
SECTION 1 GUARANTEE
1.1 If Borrower does not pay when due any Obligations, Guarantor shall upon demand by Bank immediately pay to Bank such Obligations (Guarantor Obligations).
1.2 The obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is brought against Borrower or whether Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Guarantors liability under this Agreement is not conditioned or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Loan Documents.
1.3 Banks right to (a) renew, extend or otherwise change the terms of the Loan Documents or any part thereof, (b) take security for the payment due under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, (c) exchange, enforce, waive or release any such security, and (d) apply any security and direct its sale as Bank, in its discretion, chooses, shall not affect the Guarantors obligations or liability hereunder.
1.4 Guarantor waives any right to require Bank to (a) proceed against Borrower or any other Person; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower or any other Person; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Banks power whatsoever. Bank may, at its election, exercise, decline or fail to exercise, any right or remedy it may have against Borrower or any security held by Bank, including without limitation the right to foreclose upon any such security by judicial or nonjudicial sale, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other guarantor, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower or any other guarantor. Guarantor waives any setoff, defense or counterclaim that Borrower may have against Bank, other than payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations). Guarantor waives any defense arising
EXHIBIT D
out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or any other rights against Borrower. Until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full, (d) Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or reimbursement for claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (e) Guarantor shall have no right of contribution or other rights against Borrower in connection with the Obligations, (f) Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy that Bank now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (g) Guarantor waives all rights to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Bank. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Indebtedness. Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower, warrants to Bank that it will keep so informed, and agrees that absent a request for particular information by Guarantor, Bank shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to Bank regarding such condition or any such circumstances. Guarantor waives the benefits of California Civil Code sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433.
1.5 If Borrower becomes insolvent, is adjudicated bankrupt or files a petition for reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar relief under any present or future provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code or reorganization or insolvency laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or if such a petition is filed against Borrower, and in any such proceeding some or all of any Indebtedness or obligations under the Loan Agreement are terminated or rejected or any obligation of Borrower is modified or abrogated, or if Borrowers obligations are otherwise avoided for any reason, Guarantor agrees that Guarantors liability hereunder shall not thereby be affected or modified and such liability shall continue in full force and effect as if no such action or proceeding had occurred until payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations). This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment must be returned by Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower or any other guarantor or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made until payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations).
1.6 Any Indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to any Indebtedness of Borrower to Bank; and such Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Bank and be paid over to Bank on account of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Bank but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 2 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
2.1 To secure the payment and performance of all of the Guarantor Obligations when due, Guarantor hereby grants Bank, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral (as defined below), wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Guarantor represents,
2
EXHIBIT D
warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted to have superior priority to Banks Lien under this Agreement). If Guarantor shall acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), Guarantor shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Guarantor of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

(b) all Guarantors Books relating to the foregoing, and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements, products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.

2.2 Guarantor hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Guarantor, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Banks interest or rights hereunder. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as all assets of the Debtor or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Banks discretion.

(a) the shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the entities listed on Exhibit A attached hereto, now owned or hereafter acquired (whether in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification, or reorganization of the capital of such entities or any successors in interest thereto) by Guarantor, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(c)(i) (the Pledged Shares), together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other monies and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing. On the date hereof, the certificate or certificates representing the Pledged Shares will be delivered to Bank, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Guarantor. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Pledged Shares, Guarantor shall cause the books of each entity whose Pledged Shares are part of the Pledged Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Pledged Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Pledged Collateral (including but not limited to the Pledged Shares) into the name of Bank and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Bank or its transferee;
(b) all voting trust certificates held by Guarantor evidencing the right to vote any Pledged Shares subject to any voting trust; and
(c) all additional shares and voting trust certificates of the entities listed on Exhibit A from time to time acquired by Guarantor in any manner, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(c)(i) (which additional shares shall be deemed to be part of the Pledged Shares), and the certificates representing such additional shares, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such Pledged Shares.
3.2 Guarantor agrees to pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges, Liens and assessments, in each case imposed by any Governmental Authority, against the Pledged Collateral, except those with respect to which the amount or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Guarantor, and upon the failure of Guarantor to do so, contemporaneous with written notice thereof from Bank to Guarantor, Bank at its option may pay any of them.
3.3 In the event that during the term of this Agreement, any reclassification, readjustment, or other change is declared or made in the capital structure of the issuer of the Pledged Shares, all new, substituted and additional shares, options, or other securities, issued or issuable to Guarantor by reason of any such change or exercise shall be delivered to and held by Bank under the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Pledged Collateral originally pledged hereunder.

(a) Deliver to Bank, (i) within five (5) days of filing, copies of all periodic and other reports, proxy statements and other materials filed by Guarantor with the SEC, any Governmental Authority succeeding to any or all of the functions of the SEC or with any national securities exchange, or distributed to its shareholders, as the case may be. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the terms hereof (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which Guarantor posts such documents, or provides a link thereto, on Guarantors website on the Internet at Guarantors website address, (ii) a prompt report of any legal actions pending or threatened in writing against Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries that could result in damages or costs to Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of, individually or in the aggregate, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or more, and (iii) financial information reasonably requested by Bank;
(b) Timely file, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports and timely pay, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and material local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries, except for deferred payment of any contested taxes, provided that Guarantor (i) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a Permitted Lien, and shall deliver to Bank, on reasonable demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such payments, and pay all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms;
(c) Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Guarantors industry and location. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts standard for companies in Guarantors industry and location. All property policies shall have a lenders loss payable endorsement showing Bank as a lender loss payee and waive subrogation against Bank. All liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured. [All policies (or their respective endorsements) shall provide that the insurer shall give Bank at least twenty (20) days notice
7
EXHIBIT D
before canceling, amending, or declining to renew its policy.][NTD: Guarantor to confirm with its insurer that such endorsements can be obtained] At Banks reasonable request, Guarantor shall deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. If an Event of Default exists, proceeds payable under any policy shall, at Banks option, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds payable under such casualty policy shall, at the option of Bank, be payable to Bank on account of the Guarantor Obligations. If Guarantor fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 5.1(c) or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Bank, Bank may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 5.1(c), and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent;
(d) Provide Bank five (5) days prior written notice before establishing any Collateral Account at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Banks Affiliates. For each Collateral Account that Guarantor at any time maintains in the United States, Guarantor shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution (other than Bank) at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Banks Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder which Control Agreement may not be terminated without the prior written consent of Bank unless this Agreement and Banks Liens hereunder are terminated. The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to (i) deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Guarantors employees and identified to Bank by Guarantor as such, or (ii) other Collateral Accounts holding balances not in excess of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) in the aggregate at any time;
(e) (i) Protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its Intellectual Property material to its business; (ii) promptly advise Bank in writing of material infringements of its Intellectual Property material to its business; (iii) not allow any Intellectual Property material to Guarantors business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Banks written consent, and (iv) provide written notice to Bank (which may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which Guarantor posts such documents, or provides a link thereto, on Guarantors website on the Internet at Guarantors website address) within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Guarantor shall take such commercially reasonable steps as Bank requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (A) any Restricted License to be deemed Collateral and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Restricted License, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (B) Bank to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Banks rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(f) Allow Bank, or its agents, at reasonable times, on three (3) Business Days notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect the Collateral and audit and copy Guarantors Books. Such inspections or audits shall be conducted no more often than once every twelve (12) months unless an Event of
8
EXHIBIT D
Default has occurred and is continuing. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Guarantors expense, and the charge therefor shall be $850 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Banks then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Guarantor and Bank schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Guarantor cancels or seeks to reschedule the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Banks rights or remedies), Guarantor shall pay Bank a fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling;
(g) Guarantor shall, at any time and from time to time, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may reasonably be requested by Bank to effect the purposes of this Agreement;
(h) Guarantor shall make any payments and do any act reasonably necessary or convenient to protect the Collateral and the value of Banks interest therein. If Guarantor fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third Persons as required hereunder, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies, and take any action under the policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the Default Rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Banks waiver of any Event of Default; and
(i) (i) Maintain its and all its Subsidiaries legal existence and good standing in their respective jurisdictions of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Guarantors business or operations; (ii) comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Guarantors business; (iii) obtain all of the Governmental Approvals necessary for the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the grant of a security interest to Bank in all of its property; and (iv) promptly provide copies of any such obtained Governmental Approvals to Bank.
5.2 Guarantor shall not do any of the following without Banks prior written consent:
(a) Convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of (collectively, Transfer), or permit any of its Subsidiaries to Transfer, all or any part of its business or property, except for Transfers (a) of Inventory in the ordinary course of business; (b) of worn-out or obsolete Equipment or Equipment that is no longer useful for Guarantors business; (c) in connection with Permitted Liens and Investments that are not otherwise prohibited under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (d) of non-exclusive licenses for the use of the property of Guarantor or its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and licenses that could not result in a legal transfer of title of the licensed property but that may be exclusive in respects other than territory and that may be exclusive as to territory only as to discreet geographical areas outside of the United States; and (e) consisting of Guarantors use or transfer of money or Cash Equivalents in the ordinary course of business in a manner that is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;
9
EXHIBIT D
(b) (i) Liquidate or dissolve; (ii) permit or suffer a Change in Control, or (iii) permit Borrower to cease being a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Guarantor;
(c) Guarantor shall not, without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Bank: (1) add any new offices or business locations, including warehouses (unless such new offices or business locations contain less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in Guarantors assets or property) or deliver any portion of the Collateral valued, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to a bailee at a location other than to a bailee and at a location already disclosed in the Perfection Certificate, (2) change its jurisdiction of organization, (3) change its organizational structure or type, (4) change its legal name, or (5) change any organizational number (if any) assigned by its jurisdiction of organization. If Guarantor intends to deliver any portion of the Collateral valued, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to a bailee, and Bank and such bailee are not already parties to a bailee agreement governing both the Collateral and the location to which Guarantor intends to deliver the Collateral, then Guarantor will first receive the written consent of Bank, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such bailee to execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank in its reasonable discretion;
(d) Merge or consolidate, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with any other Person. A Subsidiary may merge or consolidate into another Subsidiary or into Guarantor;
(e) Create, incur, assume, or be liable for any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary to do so, other than Permitted Indebtedness;
(f) Create, incur, allow, or suffer any Lien on any of its property, or assign or convey any right to receive income, including the sale of any Accounts, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so, except for Permitted Liens, permit any Collateral not to be subject to the first priority security interest granted herein, or enter into any agreement, document, instrument or other arrangement (except with or in favor of Bank or in connection with Permitted Liens) with any Person which directly or indirectly prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting Guarantor from assigning, mortgaging, pledging, granting a security interest in or upon, or encumbering any of Guarantors Intellectual Property, except, in each case, as is otherwise permitted in Section 5.2(a) hereof and the definition of Permitted Liens herein;
(g) Maintain any Collateral Account except pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1(d) hereof;
(h) Pay (other than in the form of Guarantors capital stock) any dividends or make any distribution or payment or redeem, retire or purchase any capital stock; provided, however, that Guarantor may repurchase capital stock from former directors, officers, employees or consultants at the original purchase price thereof, but not to exceed in the aggregate of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per fiscal year, as permitted by
10
EXHIBIT D

(k) Form any direct or indirect Subsidiary or acquire any direct or indirect Subsidiary after the date hereof, unless Guarantor (a) causes any such new Domestic Subsidiary to provide to Bank a joinder to this Agreement, together with such appropriate financing statements and/or Control Agreements, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank (including being sufficient to grant Bank a first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in and to the assets of such newly formed or acquired Domestic Subsidiary), (b) provides to Bank appropriate certificates and powers and financing statements, pledging all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in any such new Subsidiary (except to the extent shares of any such new Foreign Subsidiary are excluded from the Collateral pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i)), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank, and (c) provides to Bank all other documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank which in its opinion is appropriate with respect to the execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to above. Any document, agreement, or instrument executed or issued pursuant to this Section 5.2(k) shall be a Loan Document.
5.3 So long as Bank has any commitment to make Credit Extensions to any Borrower under the Loan Agreement or any Borrower has any Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been asserted) outstanding under the Loan Documents, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor:
11
EXHIBIT D
(a) will not (i) except as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option or warrant with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral (or any part thereof or interest therein) except with the prior written consent of Bank, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for Permitted Liens. If any Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in violation of this Section 5.3, the security interest of Bank shall continue in the Pledged Collateral, to the extent permitted under applicable law, notwithstanding such sale, transfer or other disposition, and Guarantor will deliver any proceeds thereof to Bank to be held as Pledged Collateral hereunder;
(b) shall, at Guarantors own expense, promptly execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions as Bank from time to time may reasonably request to ensure to Bank the benefits of the Lien in and to the Pledged Collateral intended to be created by this Agreement;
(c) shall maintain, preserve and, at Banks request, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the title to the Pledged Collateral and the Lien of Bank thereon against the claim of any other Person; and
(d) upon obtaining any shares of capital stock or other equity securities that should be pledged pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement, shall promptly deliver to Bank a duly executed Pledge Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a Pledge Supplement) identifying such additional shares of capital stock or other equity securities. Guarantor hereby authorizes Bank to attach each Pledge Supplement to this Agreement and agrees that all shares of capital stock or other equity securities listed thereon shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral.
SECTION 6 EVENTS OF DEFAULT
6.1 Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Collateral. Guarantors obligations hereunder are not limited to the Collateral or any exercise by Bank of rights and remedies against the same, and Bank may pursue any other available rights and remedies against Guarantor, whether hereunder, at law or otherwise, without resort to the Collateral if Bank deems it in its best interests to do so.
6.2 So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:
6.2.1 Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; and
6.2.2 Guarantor shall be entitled to receive and to retain and use free and clear of the Lien created hereby any and all payments, including, but not limited to, profits, dividends or distributions paid in respect of its Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that any and all:
12
EXHIBIT D
(a) non-cash profits, non-cash dividends or distributions in the form of capital stock, instruments or other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, and
(b) profits, dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with total liquidation or dissolution,
shall, promptly be delivered to Bank, in the case of (a) above, to be held as Collateral and shall, if received by Guarantor, be received in trust for the benefit of Bank, be segregated from the other property of Guarantor, and promptly be delivered to Bank as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement), and in the case of (b) above, to be applied to the Obligations to the extent permitted by the Loan Agreement or otherwise to be held as Pledged Collateral.
6.3 During the existence and continuation of an Event of Default,
(a) Bank may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at its election, apply, set off, collect or sell in one or more sales, or take such steps as may be necessary to liquidate and reduce to cash in the hands of Bank in whole or in part, with or without any previous demands or demand of performance or notice or advertisement, the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral in such order as Bank may elect, and any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere, or at any brokers board or securities exchange, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery; provided, however, that if such disposition is at private sale, then the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral shall be equal to the public market price then in effect, or, if at the time of sale no public market for the Pledged Collateral exists, then, in recognition of the fact that the sale of the Pledged Collateral would have to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), and that the expenses of such registration are commercially unreasonable for the type and amount of collateral pledged hereunder, Bank and Guarantor hereby agree that such private sale shall be at a purchase price mutually agreed to by Bank and Guarantor or, if the parties cannot agree upon a purchase price, then at a purchase price established by Bank in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. Bank shall be under no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Pledged Shares for the period of time necessary to permit Guarantor to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Guarantor would agree to do so. Bank may be the purchaser of any or all Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Guarantor or right of redemption. To the extent permitted by applicable law, demands of performance, notices of sale, advertisements and presence of property at sale are hereby waived. Any sale hereunder may be conducted by any officer or agent of Bank; and
(b) Bank shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Pledged Collateral. Guarantors obligations hereunder are not limited to the Pledged Collateral or any exercise by Bank of rights and remedies against the same, and Bank may pursue any other available rights and remedies against any Guarantor, whether hereunder, at law or otherwise, without resort to the Pledged Collateral if Bank deems it in its best interests to do so.
13
EXHIBIT D
6.4 During the existence of an Event of Default, the proceeds of the sale of any of the Pledged Collateral and all sums received or collected by Bank from or on account of such Pledged Collateral under Section 6.3 shall be applied by Bank to the payment of expenses incurred or paid by Bank in connection with any sale, transfer or delivery of the Pledged Collateral, to the payment of any other costs, charges, attorneys fees or expenses mentioned herein, and to the payment of the Obligations or any part hereof, all in such order and manner as Bank in its discretion may determine.
6.5 Upon the transfer by Bank of all or any part of the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Bank may transfer all or any part of the Pledged Collateral to the transferee of the Obligations and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and powers of Bank hereunder with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred; but with respect to any Pledged Collateral not so transferred, Bank shall retain all rights and powers hereby given.

Final Form
UNCONDITIONAL SECURED GUARANTY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT
This UNCONDITIONAL SECURED GUARANTY AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is entered into as of , 2014, by MANDALAY DIGITAL GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (Guarantor), in favor of NORTH ATLANTIC SBIC IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (Purchaser).
For and in consideration of all extensions of credit, loans and other financial accommodations provided by Purchaser to Appia, Inc. (Borrower), which loans were and/or will be made pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement among Borrower, Guarantor and Purchaser, dated of even date herewith, as amended from time to time, and any and all duly made modifications, extensions or renewals thereof (the Purchase Agreement), Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt and complete payment of all Obligations and Borrowers performance of the Purchase Agreement and the other Financing Documents according to their terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them under the Purchase Agreement. This is the Mandalay Guaranty contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and is subject to the provisions of a certain Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Purchaser.
SECTION 1 GUARANTEE
1.1 If Borrower does not pay or perform when due any Obligations, Guarantor shall upon demand by Purchaser immediately pay to Purchaser or perform such Obligations (Guarantor Obligations).
1.2 The obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is brought against Borrower or whether Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Guarantors liability under this Agreement is not conditioned or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Financing Documents.
1.3 Purchasers right to (a) renew, extend or otherwise change the terms of the Financing Documents or any part thereof, (b) take security for the payment due under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, (c) exchange, enforce, waive or release any such security, and (d) apply any security and direct its sale as Purchaser, in its discretion, chooses, shall not affect the Guarantors obligations or liability hereunder.
1.4 Guarantor waives any right to require Purchaser to (a) proceed against Borrower or any other Person; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower or any other Person; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Purchasers power whatsoever. Purchaser may, at its election, exercise, decline or fail to exercise, any right or remedy it may have against Borrower or any security held by Purchaser, including without limitation the right to foreclose
upon any such security by judicial or nonjudicial sale, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other guarantor, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower or any other guarantor. Guarantor waives any setoff, defense or counterclaim that Borrower or Guarantor may have against Purchaser, other than payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations). Guarantor waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or any other rights against Borrower. Until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full, (1) Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation or reimbursement for claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (2) Guarantor shall have no right of contribution or other rights against Borrower in connection with the Obligations, (3) Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy that Purchaser now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (4) Guarantor waives all rights to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Purchaser. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Indebtedness. Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower, warrants to Purchaser that it will keep so informed, and agrees that absent a request for particular information by Guarantor, Purchaser shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to Purchaser regarding such condition or any such circumstances. Guarantor waives the benefits of California Civil Code sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433.
1.5 If Borrower becomes insolvent, is adjudicated bankrupt, or files a petition for reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar relief under any present or future provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code or reorganization or insolvency laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or if such a petition is filed against Borrower, and in any such proceeding some or all of any Indebtedness or obligations under the Purchase Agreement are terminated or rejected or any obligation of Borrower is modified or abrogated, or if Borrowers obligations are otherwise avoided for any reason, Guarantor agrees that Guarantors liability hereunder shall not thereby be affected or modified and such liability shall continue in full force and effect as if no such action or proceeding had occurred until payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations). This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment must be returned by Purchaser upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower or any other guarantor or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made until payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations).
1.6 Any Indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to any Indebtedness of Borrower to Purchaser; and such Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Purchaser and be paid over to Purchaser in the form received, with any necessary endorsements thereon, on account of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Purchaser but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 2 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
2.1 To secure the payment and performance of all of the Guarantor Obligations when due, Guarantor hereby grants Purchaser, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Purchaser, the Collateral (as defined below), wherever located, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Guarantor represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a second priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted to have superior priority to Purchasers Lien under this Agreement). If Guarantor shall acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), Guarantor shall promptly notify Purchaser in a writing signed by Guarantor of the general details thereof and grant to Purchaser in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. Collateral means all of Guarantors right, title and interest in and to the following:
(a) All goods, Accounts (including health-care receivables), Equipment, Inventory, contract rights or rights to payment of money, leases, license agreements, franchise agreements, General Intangibles, commercial tort claims, documents, instruments (including any promissory notes), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), cash, deposit accounts, fixtures, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), securities, and all other investment property, supporting obligations, and financial assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located; and
(b) all Guarantors Books relating to the foregoing, and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements, products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing. For the purposes of this Agreement, Guarantors Books are all Guarantors books and records including ledgers, federal and state tax returns, records regarding Guarantors assets or liabilities, the Collateral, business operations or financial condition, and all computer programs or storage or any equipment containing such information.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Collateral does not include any of the following: (i) more than 65% of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Guarantor of any Foreign Subsidiary which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter, (ii) any intent-to-use trademarks at all times prior to the first use thereof, whether by the actual use thereof in commerce, the recording of a statement of use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or otherwise; (iii) any interest of Guarantor as a lessee or sublessee under a real property lease; (iv) rights held under a license that are not assignable by their terms without the consent of the licensor thereof (but only to the extent such restriction on assignment is enforceable under applicable law); or (v) any interest of Guarantor as a lessee under an Equipment lease if Guarantor is prohibited by the terms of such lease from granting a security interest in such lease or under which such an assignment or Lien would cause a default to occur under such lease; provided, however, that upon termination of such prohibition, such interest shall immediately become Collateral without any action by Guarantor or Purchaser.
3
2.2 Guarantor hereby authorizes Purchaser to file financing statements, without notice to Guarantor, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Purchasers interest or rights hereunder. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as all assets of the Debtor or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Purchasers discretion.
SECTION 3 PLEDGE
3.1 As security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether by stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all the Guarantor Obligations, Guarantor hereby pledges to Purchaser, and grants to Purchaser, a second priority security interest in all of the following (collectively, the Pledged Collateral):
(a) the shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the entities listed on Exhibit A attached hereto, now owned or hereafter acquired (whether in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification, or reorganization of the capital of such entities or any successors in interest thereto) by Guarantor, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(c)(i) (the Pledged Shares), together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other monies and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing. On the date hereof, (i) the certificate or certificates representing the Pledged Shares will be delivered to SVB to be held for itself and as bailee for Purchaser, and (ii) an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by Guarantor will be delivered to Purchaser. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Pledged Shares, Guarantor shall cause the books of each entity whose Pledged Shares are part of the Pledged Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Pledged Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Purchaser may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Pledged Collateral (including but not limited to the Pledged Shares) into the name of Purchaser and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Purchaser or its transferee;
(b) all voting trust certificates held by Guarantor evidencing the right to vote any Pledged Shares subject to any voting trust; and
(c) all additional shares and voting trust certificates of the entities listed on Exhibit A from time to time acquired by Guarantor in any manner, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.1(c)(i) (which additional shares shall be deemed to be part of the Pledged Shares), and the certificates representing such additional shares, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such Pledged Shares.
3.2 Guarantor agrees to pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges, Liens and assessments, in each case imposed by any Governmental Authority, against the Pledged Collateral, except those with respect to which the amount or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Guarantor, and upon the failure of Guarantor to do so, contemporaneous with written notice thereof from Purchaser to Guarantor, Purchaser at its option may pay any of them.
4
3.3 In the event that during the term of this Agreement, any reclassification, readjustment, or other change is declared or made in the capital structure of the issuer of the Pledged Shares, all new, substituted and additional shares, options, or other securities, issued or issuable to Guarantor by reason of any such change or exercise shall be delivered to and held by SVB, if any Senior Debt to SVB is then outstanding, to hold for itself and as bailee for Purchaser, or, if no Senior Debt to SVB is then outstanding, to Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Pledged Collateral originally pledged hereunder.
3.4 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Guarantor may exercise any rights under the Pledged Shares to vote such Pledged Shares and receive dividends in respect of such Pledged Shares while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
3.5 So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and Guarantor shall be entitled to receive and to retain and use free and clear of the Lien created hereby any and all non-cash profits, non-cash dividends, or distributions in the form of capital stock, instruments or other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that any and all non-cash profits, non-cash dividends, or distributions in the form of capital stock, instruments or other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, shall promptly be delivered to Purchaser to be held as Collateral and shall, if received by Guarantor, be received in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, be segregated from the other property of Guarantor, and promptly be delivered to Purchaser as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(a) Deliver to Purchaser, (i) within five (5) days of filing, copies of all periodic and other reports, proxy statements and other materials filed by Guarantor with the SEC, any Governmental Authority succeeding to any or all of the functions of the SEC or with any national securities exchange, or distributed to its shareholders, as the case may be. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the terms hereof (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which Guarantor posts such documents, or provides a link thereto, on Guarantors website on the Internet at Guarantors website address, (ii) a prompt report of any legal actions pending or threatened in writing against Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries that could result in damages or costs to Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of, individually or in the aggregate, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or more, and (iii) financial information reasonably requested by Purchaser;
7
(b) Timely file, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports and timely pay, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and material local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries, except for deferred payment of any contested taxes, provided that Guarantor (i) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (ii) notifies Purchaser in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, (iii) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a Permitted Lien, and shall deliver to Purchaser, on reasonable demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such payments, and pay all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms;
(c) Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Guarantors industry and location. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with companies, and in amounts standard for companies in Guarantors industry and location. All property policies shall have a lenders loss payable endorsement showing Purchaser as a lender loss payee and waive subrogation against Purchaser. All liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Purchaser as an additional insured. All policies (or their respective endorsements) shall provide that the insurer shall give Purchaser at least twenty (20) days notice before canceling, amending, or declining to renew its policy. At Purchasers reasonable request, Guarantor shall deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. If an Event of Default exists, proceeds payable under any policy shall, at Purchasers option, be payable to Purchaser on account of the Guarantor Obligations unless SVB has prior rights thereto. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds payable under such casualty policy shall, at the option of Purchaser, be payable to Purchaser on account of the Guarantor Obligations unless SVB has prior rights thereto. If Guarantor fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 5.1(c) or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Purchaser, Purchaser may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 5.1(c), and take any action under the policies Purchaser deems prudent;
(d) Provide Purchaser five (5) days prior written notice before establishing any Collateral Account at or with any bank or financial institution. For each Collateral Account that Guarantor at any time maintains in the United States, Guarantor shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Purchasers Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder which Control Agreement may not be terminated without the prior written consent of Purchaser unless this Agreement and Purchasers Liens hereunder are terminated. The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to (i) deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Guarantors employees and identified to Purchaser by Guarantor as such, or (ii) other Collateral Accounts holding balances not in excess of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) in the aggregate at any time;
8
(e) (i) Protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its Intellectual Property material to its business; (ii) promptly advise Purchaser in writing of material infringements of its Intellectual Property material to its business; (iii) not allow any Intellectual Property material to Guarantors business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Purchasers written consent, and (iv) provide written notice to Purchaser (which may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which Guarantor posts such documents, or provides a link thereto, on Guarantors website on the Internet at Guarantors website address) within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Guarantor shall take such commercially reasonable steps as Purchaser requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (A) any Restricted License to be deemed Collateral and for Purchaser to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Restricted License, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (B) Purchaser to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Purchasers rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents;
(f) Allow Purchaser, or its agents, at reasonable times, on three (3) Business Days notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect the Collateral and audit and copy Guarantors Books. Such inspections or audits shall be conducted no more often than once every twelve (12) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Guarantors expense, and the charge therefor shall be $850 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall be equal to SVBs then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Guarantor and Purchaser schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Guarantor cancels or seeks to reschedule the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Purchaser, then (without limiting any of Purchasers rights or remedies), Guarantor shall pay Purchaser a fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser to compensate Purchaser for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling;

(h) Guarantor shall make any payments and do any act reasonably necessary or convenient to protect the Collateral and the value of Purchasers interest therein. If Guarantor fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third Persons as required hereunder, Purchaser may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies, and take any action under the policies as Purchaser deems prudent.

9

(g) Maintain any Collateral Account except pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1(d) hereof;
(h) Pay (other than in the form of Guarantors capital stock) any dividends or make any distribution or payment or redeem, retire or purchase any capital stock; provided, however, that Guarantor may repurchase capital stock from former directors, officers, employees or consultants at the original purchase price thereof, but not to exceed in the aggregate of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per fiscal year, as permitted by Guarantors equity incentive plans, restricted stock purchase agreements, stock option agreements, stock grant agreements or similar agreements, so long as an Event of Default does not exist at the time of such repurchase and would not exist after giving effect to such repurchase;

11
(k) Form any direct or indirect Subsidiary or acquire any direct or indirect Subsidiary after the date hereof, unless Guarantor (a) causes any such new Domestic Subsidiary to provide to Purchaser a joinder to this Agreement, together with such appropriate financing statements and/or Control Agreements, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (including being sufficient to grant Purchaser a second priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) in and to the assets of such newly formed or acquired Domestic Subsidiary), (b) provides to Purchaser appropriate certificates and powers and financing statements, pledging all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in any such new Subsidiary (except to the extent shares of any such new Foreign Subsidiary are excluded from the Collateral pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i)), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, and (c) provides to Purchaser all other documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser which in its opinion is appropriate with respect to the execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to above. Any document, agreement, or instrument executed or issued pursuant to this Section 5.2(k) shall be a Financing Document.
(l) After the repayment in full of all Senior Debt owed to SBV, Guarantor shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Purchaser.
5.3 So long as Purchaser has any commitment to extend credit to Borrower or Borrower has any Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been asserted), Guarantor agrees that Guarantor:
(a) will not (i) except as otherwise permitted by the Financing Documents, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option or warrant with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral (or any part thereof or interest therein) except with the prior written consent of Purchaser, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for Permitted Liens. If any Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in violation of this Section 5.3, the security interest of Purchaser shall continue in the Pledged Collateral, to the extent permitted under applicable law, notwithstanding such sale, transfer or other disposition, and Guarantor will deliver any proceeds thereof to Purchaser to be held as Pledged Collateral hereunder;
(b) shall, at Guarantors own expense, promptly execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions as Purchaser from time to time may reasonably request to ensure to Purchaser the benefits of the Lien in and to the Pledged Collateral intended to be created by this Agreement;
(c) shall maintain, preserve and, at Purchasers request, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend the title to the Pledged Collateral and the Lien of Purchaser thereon against the claim of any other Person; and
(d) upon obtaining any shares of capital stock or other equity securities that should be pledged pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement, shall promptly deliver to Purchaser a duly executed Pledge Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached
12
hereto (a Pledge Supplement) identifying such additional shares of capital stock or other equity securities. Guarantor hereby authorizes Purchaser to attach each Pledge Supplement to this Agreement and agrees that all shares of capital stock or other equity securities listed thereon shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral.
SECTION 6 EVENTS OF DEFAULT
6.1 Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Purchaser shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Collateral. Guarantors obligations hereunder are not limited to the Collateral or any exercise by Purchaser of rights and remedies against the same, and Purchaser may pursue any other available rights and remedies against Guarantor, whether hereunder, at law or otherwise, without resort to the Collateral if Purchaser deems it in its best interests to do so.
6.2 During the existence and continuation of an Event of Default,
(a) Purchaser may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at its election, apply, set off, collect or sell in one or more sales, or take such steps as may be necessary to liquidate and reduce to cash in the hands of Purchaser in whole or in part, with or without any previous demands or demand of performance or notice or advertisement, the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral in such order as Purchaser may elect, and any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere, or at any brokers board or securities exchange, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery; provided, however, that if such disposition is at private sale, then the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral shall be equal to the public market price then in effect, or, if at the time of sale no public market for the Pledged Collateral exists, then, in recognition of the fact that the sale of the Pledged Collateral would have to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), and that the expenses of such registration are commercially unreasonable for the type and amount of collateral pledged hereunder, Purchaser and Guarantor hereby agree that such private sale shall be at a purchase price mutually agreed to by Purchaser and Guarantor or, if the parties cannot agree upon a purchase price, then at a purchase price established by Purchaser in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. Purchaser shall be under no obligation to delay the sale of any of the Pledged Shares for the period of time necessary to permit Guarantor to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Guarantor would agree to do so. Purchaser may be the purchaser of any or all Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Guarantor or right of redemption. To the extent permitted by applicable law, demands of performance, notices of sale, advertisements and presence of property at sale are hereby waived. Any sale hereunder may be conducted by any officer or agent of Purchaser; and
(b) Purchaser shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Code with respect to the Pledged Collateral. Guarantors obligations hereunder are not limited to the Pledged Collateral or any exercise by Purchaser of rights and remedies against the same, and Purchaser may pursue any other available rights and remedies against any Guarantor, whether hereunder, at law or otherwise, without resort to the Pledged Collateral if Purchaser deems it in its best interests to do so.
13
6.3 During the existence of an Event of Default, the proceeds of the sale of any of the Pledged Collateral and all sums received or collected by Purchaser from or on account of such Pledged Collateral under Section 6.3 shall be applied by Purchaser to the payment of expenses incurred or paid by Purchaser in connection with any sale, transfer or delivery of the Pledged Collateral, to the payment of any other costs, charges, attorneys fees or expenses mentioned herein, and to the payment of the Obligations or any part hereof, all in such order and manner as Purchaser in its discretion may determine.
6.4 Upon the transfer by Purchaser of all or any part of the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser may transfer all or any part of the Pledged Collateral to the transferee of the Obligations and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and powers of Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Pledged Collateral so transferred; but with respect to any Pledged Collateral not so transferred, Purchaser shall retain all rights and powers hereby given.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS.
All capitalized terms not defined herein but defined in Appendix A attached hereto shall have the meanings given to such terms in Appendix A. All terms defined in this Agreement shall also have such defined meanings when used in the other Financing Documents or any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, unless otherwise specified herein or therein.

Final Form
by Appia, shall be dated as of the date of the consummation of the Acquisition pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the Closing Date), and shall be made payable to the order of the Purchaser in the amount of the Commitment. Contemporaneously with the issuance of the New Debenture, Appia shall pay in full all amounts of accrued but theretofore unpaid interest then outstanding on the First Debenture and the Second Debenture and all applicable prepayment premiums in respect of the First Debenture and the Second Debenture. The closing of the contribution and exchange of the First Debenture and the Second Debenture and the issuance of the New Debenture, the Common Shares, and the Warrant under this Agreement shall take place remotely via the mutual exchange of documents and signatures if and when all conditions precedent set forth herein have been satisfied or waived and simultaneously with the closing of the Acquisition pursuant to the Merger Agreement on the Closing Date, or at such other time and place as the Parties may mutually agree (the Closing).
2.2 Subordination. Appia hereby represents that Appia and its Subsidiaries, if any exist, currently owe the Indebtedness set forth on Schedule 2.2 (which does not and shall not exceed Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) of Senior Debt, and does not and shall not exceed One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in Purchase Money Indebtedness) (Existing Senior Debt) which is secured by the assets set forth on Schedule 2.2.

At such time as the Senior Debt is less than Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) in the aggregate, if Appia desires to incur Senior Debt not set forth on Schedule 2.2 (New Senior Debt), the Purchaser shall agree to subordinate the payment of the principal of and interest on the New Debenture in a commercially reasonable manner, substantially pursuant to the terms of a subordination agreement described in the following sentence, to the payment of such New Senior Debt incurred by Appia in an amount which, together with all existing Senior Debt, shall not exceed Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). The Purchaser agrees, upon request of any future holder of such New Senior Debt or Replacement Senior Debt, to enter into a commercially reasonable subordination agreement for the benefit of such future holder of such New Senior Debt or Replacement Senior Debt; provided, however, that such subordination agreement shall be on terms which are commercially reasonable and reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, as determined by the Purchaser in its good faith discretion, and shall, among other provisions, permit payment of principal and interest under the New Debenture according to its terms unless the Existing, New, or Replacement Senior Debt (as applicable) is in default under the terms thereof.
2.3 Use of Proceeds. The New Debenture shall be issued in exchange for the First Debenture and the Second Debenture.
2.4 Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5, the unpaid principal balance outstanding under the New Debenture, from time to time during the first twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, shall accrue interest at the rate of Ten and 00/100 Percent (10.00%) per annum. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5, the unpaid principal balance outstanding under the New Debenture, from time to time after the first twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, shall accrue interest at the rate of Fourteen and 00/100 Percent (14.00%) per annum. Interest per annum shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed and an assumed 365-day year. Therefore, each dollar of principal outstanding hereunder for all or any part of a day shall accrue interest equal to 1/365th of the per annum interest accruing hereunder on each such dollar. Interest shall accrue on each day or part thereof that any principal is outstanding, including Sundays, legal holidays, and other non-business days.

If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an Indemnified Party), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the Indemnifying Party) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 1.4) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 1.4(a) or (b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
B-5
Exhibit E
whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.4(c), any reasonable attorneys or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.4 was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.4(d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 1.4 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
1.5 Dispositions.
Each Purchaser agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Each Purchaser further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from Mandalay of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 1.2(c)(v), (vi) or (vii), the Purchaser will discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until the Purchasers receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 1.2(j), or until it is advised in writing (the Advice) by Mandalay that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. Mandalay may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.
1.6 Piggy-Back Registrations.
If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and Mandalay shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then Mandalay shall send to the Purchaser written notice of such determination and if, within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, the Purchaser shall so request in writing, Mandalay shall include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities the Purchaser requests to be registered.

THIS WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION HEREOF. NO SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THIS WARRANT MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.
MANDALAY DIGITAL GROUP, INC.
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
Date of Issuance: [ , 20 ]
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, MANDALAY DIGITAL GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (Mandalay), hereby certifies that NORTH ATLANTIC SBIC IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the Registered Holder), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from Mandalay, at any time on or after the Vesting Date (as defined in Section 1 below) and on or before the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 6 below) shares of Mandalays Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (Mandalay Common Stock), at an exercise price per share (the Exercise Price) equal to $0.001 (subject to adjustment as provided herein). The shares of stock issuable upon exercise of this Common Stock Purchase Warrant (Warrant) are referred to hereinafter as the Warrant Shares.
This Warrant is issued pursuant to, and is subject to the terms and conditions of, that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or restated, from time to time, the Purchase Agreement) by and among Mandalay, the Registered Holder, and Appia, Inc. (Appia). All capitalized terms used though not defined herein but defined in the Purchase Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
1. Vesting; Number of Shares. This Warrant shall become fully vested on the date with is twelve (12) months from the date hereof (the Vesting Date) if, and only if, all interest, principal and other amounts owed to the Registered Holder pursuant to that certain Debenture issued by Appia on or about the date hereof (the Obligations) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement have not been paid in full on or before such Vesting Date. In the event the Obligations have been paid in full on or before the Vesting Date, then effective upon payment of the Obligations, this Warrant shall expire and be of no further force or effect. If this Warrant shall not have vested on the Vesting Date, then this Warrant shall automatically expire and be of no further force or effect. If and when this Warrant is vested, subject to the other terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Registered Holder shall then be entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant, to purchase from Mandalay up to Four Hundred Thousand (400,000) shares of Mandalay Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided herein).
- 1 -
Exhibit E
2. Exercise.
(a) Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such Registered Holders duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of Mandalay, or at such other office or agency as Mandalay may designate, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise (the Purchase Price). The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, wire transfer, or by the surrender of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of Mandalay to the Registered Holder.
(b) Effective Time of Exercise. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to Mandalay as provided in Section 2(a) hereinabove. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 2(d) hereinbelow shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares to be represented by such certificates.
(c) Net Issue Exercise.
(i) In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided in Section 2(a) hereinabove, the Registered Holder may elect to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of Mandalay together with notice of such election on the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or such Registered Holders duly authorized attorney, in which event Mandalay shall issue to such Registered Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:
X = Y (A - B) | ||||||||
A | ||||||||
Where | X = | The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Registered Holder. | ||||||
Y = | The number of shares of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation). | |||||||
A = | The fair market value of one Warrant Share (at the date of such calculation). | |||||||
B = | The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
(ii) For purposes of this Section 2(c), the fair market value of one Warrant Share on the date of calculation shall mean:
(A) as of any particular date: (1) the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of Mandalay Common Stock for such day on all domestic securities exchanges on which Mandalay Common Stock may at the time be listed; (2) if there have been
- 2 -
Exhibit E
no sales of Mandalay Common Stock on any such exchange on any such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for Mandalay Common Stock on all such exchanges at the end of such day; (3) if on any such day Mandalay Common Stock is not listed on a domestic securities exchange, the closing sales price of Mandalay Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets, or similar quotation system or association for such day; or (4) if there have been no sales of Mandalay Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets, or similar quotation system or association on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for Mandalay Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association at the end of such day; in each case, averaged over twenty (20) consecutive Business Days ending on the Business Day immediately prior to the day as of which fair market value is being determined; provided, that if Mandalay Common Stock is listed on any domestic securities exchange, the term Business Day as used in this sentence means Business Days on which such exchange is open for trading.
(B) if item (A) hereinabove is not applicable, then the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall be the highest price per share which Mandalay could obtain on the date of calculation from a hypothetical willing, able, sophisticated and experienced buyer (but not a current employee or director), acting at arms length in an open and unrestricted market, when neither is under compulsion to buy or sell and when both have reasonable knowledge of all relevant facts, with such price to be determined in good faith by the Mandalay Board and the Registered Holder, unless Mandalay is at such time subject to a Liquidity Event (as described in Section 7(d) below) in which case the fair market value of a Warrant Share shall be deemed to be the value received by the holders of such stock pursuant to such event. If Mandalay, on the one hand, and the Registered Holder, on the other hand, cannot agree upon the fair market value of a Warrant Share under this paragraph, then the dispute shall be settled by the appointment of an independent third-party arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
(d) Delivery to Holder. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, Mandalay at its expense shall cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder:
(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of Warrant Shares to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and
(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor and calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 2(a) or 2(c) hereinabove (without giving effect to any adjustment thereto).
(e) Payment of Dividends. If, between the issue and exercise dates of this Warrant:
(i) Mandalay shall have declared and paid dividends on Mandalay Common Stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall be entitled to
- 3 -
Exhibit E
receive payment from Mandalay of an amount equal to any dividend payment to which such Registered Holder would have been entitled if such Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to the declaration and payment of said dividends; and
(ii) any dividends shall have accrued on Mandalay Common Stock, or shall have been declared on Mandalay Common Stock but be unpaid thereon, then, upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Shares shall automatically and without further action on the part of Mandalay or the Registered Holder (unless the Registered Holder otherwise agrees) be deemed to have accrued an amount of dividends that would have accrued on such Warrant Shares if such Warrant Shares had been issued on the date hereof and be entitled to receive payment from Mandalay of an amount equal to any declared, but unpaid, dividend at the same time, and on the same terms and conditions, as the other holders of Mandalay Common Stock.
3. Adjustments.
(a) Stock Splits and Dividends. If outstanding shares of Mandalay Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Mandalay Common Stock or other Capital Stock of Mandalay, or a dividend of other or additional Capital Stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of Mandalay shall be paid in respect of such Mandalay Common Stock, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced. If outstanding shares of Mandalay Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. If an adjustment in the Exercise Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of Mandalay Common Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par value of Mandalay Common Stock.
(b) Reclassification, Etc. In case there occurs any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of Mandalay (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Registered Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change or reorganization shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Registered Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.
(c) Adjustment Certificate. When any adjustment is required to be made to the Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3, Mandalay shall promptly
- 4 -
Exhibit E
mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price after such adjustment, and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.
(d) Acknowledgement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to the benefit of all adjustments pursuant to this Section 3 which occur after the date hereof and prior to the exercise of this Warrant.
4. Assignment.
(a) The holder of this Warrant acknowledges that this Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant and registration or qualification of this Warrant under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Mandalay, that such registration and qualification are not required.
(b) This Warrant is not assignable by the Registered Holder without Mandalays prior written consent, except that assignments by the Registered Holder to an Affiliate (as defined below) of the Registered Holder shall be permitted provided that the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms of this Warrant. For purposes of the foregoing, an Affiliate of the Registered Holder shall mean any other person or entity who directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Registered Holder, including, without limitation, any general partner, managing member, officer, or director of such Registered Holder, or any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing which is controlled by one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, the Registered Holder.
5. No Impairment. Without the prior written consent of the Registered Holder, Mandalay shall not avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant.
6. Termination.
(a) Provided that the Registered Holder receives prior notices in accordance with Section 7 below, and subject to
Section 6(b) and Section 6(c) hereinbelow, this Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon exercise hereof) shall terminate on the earliest to occur of the following (the Expiration Date):
(i) 5:00 P.M. Boston, Massachusetts time on [ , 20 ]; or
(ii) the occurrence of any Liquidity Event following the Vesting Date.
(b) If on the Expiration Date this Warrant has not been exercised in full and the fair market value of one Warrant Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof)
- 5 -
Exhibit E
as determined in accordance with Section 2(c) above is greater than the Exercise Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised and converted pursuant to Section 2(c) into Warrant Shares, and Mandalay shall promptly deliver a certificate representing such Warrant Shares.
(c) If a Liquidity Event occurs prior to the Vesting Date, then (i) Mandalay shall reserve and set aside an amount of the consideration payable in respect of such Liquidity Event, which would otherwise be distributed to Mandalays Stockholders, sufficient to pay to the Registered Holder the full amount of payment such holder would have been entitled to had this Warrant been fully vested at the time of the Liquidity Event (the Liquidity Payment), and (ii) if this Warrant subsequently vests, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of the Vesting Date to be exercised and converted pursuant to Section 2(c) into Warrant Shares (subject to any adjustments resulting from such Liquidity Event or other events under Section 3), and Mandalay shall, at the option of the Registered Holder, promptly deliver the a certificate representing such Warrant Shares or the Liquidity Payment. In lieu of the foregoing, Mandalay may elect to accelerate vesting of this Warrant.
7. Notices of Certain Transactions. In case:
(a) Mandalay shall set a record date for the holders of its Capital Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or
(b) Mandalay shall set an effective date of any capital reorganization of Mandalay, any reclassification of the Capital Stock of Mandalay, any consolidation or merger of Mandalay, any consolidation or merger of Mandalay with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which Mandalay is the surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Mandalay, or
(c) Mandalay shall set an effective date of any redemption of any Capital Stock of Mandalay (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant), or
(d) Mandalay shall set an effective date of any Liquidity Event,
then, and in each such case, Mandalay will mail or cause to be mailed to the Registered Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such Liquidity Event, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, or redemption is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Capital Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, redemption or conversion) are to be determined. Such notice shall be given at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.
- 6 -
Exhibit E
Such notice shall specify all material terms of the event specified in such notice. If any material term changes after such notice is given, or such notice fails to include any such material term, such notice shall be void and Mandalay shall be obligated to provide a new notice to the Registered Holder pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.
8. Sale of Company. If following the Vesting Date, Mandalay shall at any time prior to the Expiration Date undergo a Liquidity Event, it shall provide the Registered Holder the ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of the Liquidity Event as required by Section 7 above, then the Registered Holder shall have until the effective date of such Liquidity Event (the Sale Exercise Date) to exercise this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 above.

11. Mailing of Notices. Any notice required or permitted pursuant to this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon delivery pursuant to Section 11.5 of the Purchase Agreement.
12. No Rights as Stockholder. Except as may be otherwise provided in (i) Mandalays Certificate of Incorporation, or (ii) the Purchase Agreement, until the exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder of this Warrant shall not solely by virtue of holding this Warrant have or exercise any rights as a Stockholder of Mandalay.
13. No Fractional Shares.

In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, Mandalay shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Mandalay Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) on the date of exercise, as determined in good faith by the Mandalay Board.
14. Amendment or Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived upon written consent of Mandalay and the Registered Holder.

No right of the Bank to enforce the subordination provisions provided in this Agreement shall at any time, and in any way, be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrower and/or Guarantor or by any non-compliance by the Borrower and/or Guarantor with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement.
9. Collateral - Release of Subordinated Lien. Upon written notice from Bank to Creditor of Banks agreement to release its lien on all or any portion of the Collateral in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by Bank (or by Borrower and/or Guarantor with consent of Bank), Creditor shall be deemed to have also, automatically and simultaneously, released its lien on such Collateral, and Creditor shall upon written request by Bank, immediately take such action as shall be necessary or appropriate to evidence and confirm such release. All proceeds resulting from any such sale, transfer or other disposition shall be applied first to the Senior Debt until payment in full thereof, with the balance, if any, to the Subordinated Debt, or to any other entitled party.

10. Miscellaneous.

No such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect Banks rights hereunder. Creditor waives the benefits, if any, of any statutory or common law rule that may permit a subordinating creditor to assert any defenses of a surety or guarantor, or that may give the subordinating creditor the right to require a senior creditor to marshal assets, and Creditor agrees that it shall not assert any such defenses or rights.

Bank and Creditor hereby ratify and reaffirm that all prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Prior Subordination Agreement merge into this Agreement.
10.9 Solely for the purpose of assisting Bank and/or Creditor in perfecting the security interest and pledge granted in the collateral of Bank or Creditor securing the Senior Debt or Subordinated Debt, Bank and Creditor each agree to hold any such collateral that is in Banks or Creditors possession or control as a gratuitous bailee for the other party.

(ii) Principal and Interest Payments. For the amount of the Second Supplemental Term Loan outstanding as of the last day of the Second Supplemental Interest-Only Period, Borrower shall make (A) thirty (30) consecutive equal monthly payments of principal, plus (B) monthly payments of accrued but unpaid interest, commencing on the Second Supplemental Conversion Date, in amounts that would fully amortize the Second Supplemental Term Loan, as of the Second Supplemental Conversion Date, over the Second Supplemental Repayment Period. All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Second Supplemental Term Loan is due and payable in full on the Second Supplemental Term Loan Maturity Date.
Exhibit E
(c) Voluntary Prepayment. At Borrowers option, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all of the Second Supplemental Term Loan advanced by Bank under this Agreement, provided Borrower (a) provides written notice to Bank of its election to exercise to prepay the Second Supplemental Term Loan at least thirty (30) days prior to such prepayment, and (b) pays, on the date of the prepayment (i) all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Second Supplemental Term Loan through the date the prepayment is made; (ii) all unpaid principal with respect to the Second Supplemental Term Loan; (iii) a premium equal to the Second Supplemental Make-Whole Premium; and (iv) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder with respect to the Second Supplemental Term Loan.

4 | CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST |
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.
Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with Bank. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes Bank thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Banks Lien in this Agreement).
If this Agreement is terminated, Banks Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are satisfied in full, and at such time, Bank shall, at Borrowers sole cost and expense, terminate its security interest in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. In the event (x) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (y) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its good faith business judgment for Bank Services, if any. In the event such
-4-
Exhibit E
Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% (110% for Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency) of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit.
4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Banks Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim for greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), individually or in the aggregate, then Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.
4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Banks interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as all assets of the Debtor or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Banks discretion.

(b) Provide Bank five (5) days prior written notice before establishing any Collateral Account at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Banks Affiliates. For each Collateral Account that Borrower at any time maintains, Borrower shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution (other than Bank) at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Banks Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder which Control Agreement may not be terminated without the prior written consent of Bank. The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrowers employees and identified to Bank by Borrower as such, or to the extent permitted in Section 6.6(a) above.
6.7 Protection of Intellectual Property Rights.
(a) (i) Protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its material Intellectual Property; (ii) promptly advise Bank in writing of material infringements of its Intellectual Property; and (iii) not allow any Intellectual Property material to Borrowers business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Banks written consent.

Exhibit E
(b) Provide written notice to Bank within the later of delivery of Borrowers next Compliance Certificate or ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than over- the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Borrower shall take such commercially reasonable steps as Bank requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (i) any Restricted License to be deemed Collateral and for Bank to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Restricted License, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (ii) Bank to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Banks rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) To the extent not already disclosed in writing to Bank, if Borrower (i) obtains any Patent, registered Trademark, registered Copyright, registered mask work, or any pending application for any of the foregoing, whether as owner, licensee or otherwise, or (ii) applies for any Patent or the registration of any Trademark, then Borrower shall immediately provide written notice thereof to Bank and shall execute such intellectual property security agreements and other documents and take such other actions as Bank may request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Bank in such property. If Borrower decides to register any Copyrights or mask works in the United States Copyright Office, Borrower shall: (x) provide Bank with at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of Borrowers intent to register such Copyrights or mask works together with a copy of the application it intends to file with the United States Copyright Office (excluding exhibits thereto); (y) execute an intellectual property security agreement and such other documents and take such other actions as Bank may request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Bank in the Copyrights or mask works intended to be registered with the United States Copyright Office; and (z) record such intellectual property security agreement with the United States Copyright Office contemporaneously with filing the Copyright or mask work application(s) with the United States Copyright Office. Borrower shall promptly provide to Bank copies of all applications that it files for Patents or for the registration of Trademarks, Copyrights or mask works, together with evidence of the recording of the intellectual property security agreement required for Bank to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in such property.
6.8 Litigation Cooperation. From the date hereof and continuing through the termination of this Agreement, make available to Bank, without expense to Bank, Borrower and its officers, employees and agents and Borrowers books and records, to the extent that Bank may deem them reasonably necessary to prosecute or defend any third-party suit or proceeding instituted by or against Bank with respect to any Collateral or relating to Borrower.
6.9 Access to Collateral; Books and Records. Allow Bank, or its agents, at reasonable times, on three (3) Business Days notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect the Collateral and audit and copy Borrowers Books. Such inspections or audits shall be conducted no more often than once every twelve (12) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrowers expense, and the charge therefor shall be $850 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Banks then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Borrower and Bank schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or seeks to reschedule the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Banks rights or remedies), Borrower shall pay Bank a fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling.
6.10 Further Assurances. Execute any further instruments and take further action as Bank reasonably requests to perfect or continue Banks Lien in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this Agreement. Deliver to Bank, within five (5) days after the same are sent or received, copies of all correspondence, reports, documents and other filings with any Governmental Authority regarding compliance with or maintenance of Governmental Approvals or Requirements of Law or that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on any of the Governmental Approvals or otherwise on the operations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, unless Borrower is by applicable law or regulation from doing so.

7.7 Distributions; Investments. (a) Pay any dividends or make any distribution or payment or redeem, retire or purchase any capital stock; provided, however, that Borrower may (i) repurchase capital stock from former directors, officers, employees or consultants at the original purchase price thereof, but not to exceed in the aggregate of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per fiscal year, as permitted by Borrowers equity incentive plans, restricted stock purchase agreements, stock option agreements, stock grant agreements or similar agreements, so long as an Event of Default does not exist at the time of such repurchase and would not exist after giving effect to such repurchase and (ii) pay dividends to Parent; or (b) directly or indirectly make any Investment other than Permitted Investments, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so.

Exhibit E

Directly or indirectly enter into or permit to exist any material transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower, except for (i) transactions that are in the ordinary course of Borrowers business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in an arms length transaction with a non-affiliated Person and transactions permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2 hereof, (ii) sale and/or issuance of equity or Subordinated Debt to Parent in the ordinary course of business or otherwise approved by Borrowers board of directors, (iii) other transactions with Parent in the ordinary course of business.

Become an investment company or a company controlled by an investment company, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or undertake as one of its important activities extending credit to purchase or carry margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or use the proceeds of any Credit Extension for that purpose; fail to meet the minimum funding requirements of ERISA, permit a Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction, as defined in ERISA, to occur; fail to comply with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act or violate any other law or regulation, if the violation could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrowers business, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to do so; withdraw or permit any Subsidiary to withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

Exhibit E
9 | BANKS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES |
9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrowers benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;
(c) for any Letters of Credit, demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to 105% (110% for Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency) of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit remaining undrawn (plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment)), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit;
(d) terminate any FX Contracts;
(e) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Banks security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;
(f) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral;
(g) apply to the Obligations (i) any balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(h) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Banks exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrowers rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Banks benefit;
(i) place a hold on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;
(j) demand and receive possession of Borrowers Books; and
(k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).
9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrowers name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrowers name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrowers insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code
-14-
Exhibit E
permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrowers name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Banks security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Banks foregoing appointment as Borrowers attorney in fact, and all of Banks rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Banks obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Banks waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.
9.5 Banks Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Banks failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Banks rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Banks exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Banks waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Banks delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
10 | NOTICES |

11 | CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE |
North Carolina law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Wake County, North Carolina; provided, however, that if for any reason Bank cannot avail itself of such courts in the State of North Carolina, Borrower accepts jurisdiction of the courts and venue in Santa Clara County, California; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrowers actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
12 | GENERAL PROVISIONS |
12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Banks prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Banks discretion). Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Banks obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Bank shall not assign its interest in the Loan Documents to any Person who in the reasonable estimation of Bank is (a) a direct competitor of Borrower, whether as an operating company or direct or indirect parent with voting control over such operating company, or (b) a vulture fund or distressed debt fund.
12.2 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank (each, an Indemnified Person) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, Claims) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Persons gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Exhibit E
12.3 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.
12.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.
12.5 Correction of Loan Documents. Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.
12.6 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement or admission is sought. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

3

The Escrow Agent shall continue to hold in escrow any contested Claimed Amount until release is otherwise authorized pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof. If any Contest Notice includes an objection to only a portion of a Claimed Amount, the Indemnitor Representaive and the Indemitee shall deliver Joint Written Instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to Indemnitee an amount from the Escrow Shares equal to the portion of the Claimed Amount in relation to which there is no objection. |
(e) | In the event that Indemnitor Representative shall deliver a Contest Notice in accordance with Section 4(d) hereof, Indemnitor Representative and Indemnitee shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the Contest Notice in an effort to settle the claim contained in the relevant Claim Notice or agree on the appropriate Reserved Portion, if any, to be applied against the Escrow Shares pursuant to the relevant Claim Notice. The Escrow Agent shall make payment with respect to any Claimed Amount subject to such Contest Notice only in accordance with: (i) any Joint Written Direction; or (ii) a written notification from Indemnitee of a final and non-appealable decision, order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator, which notification shall attach a copy of such final and non-appealable decision, order, judgment or decree (a Final Order). The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such Joint Written Direction or Final Order and upon receipt thereof shall promptly distribute that portion of the remaining Escrow Shares as instructed in such Joint Written Direction or Final Order. Any court order shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel for the presenting party that such order is final and non-appealable and from a court of competent jurisdiction. |
(f) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Escrow Agent receives a Joint Written Direction as to the disbursement of the Escrow Shares, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Shares pursuant to such Joint Written Direction. The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to follow any directions set forth in any Joint Written Direction unless and until the Escrow Agent is satisfied, in its reasonable discretion, that the persons executing said Joint Written Direction are authorized to do so. |
(g) | Upon delivery of any and all remaining Escrow Shares by the Escrow Agent, this Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 9. |
5. | Suspension of Performance; Disbursement into Court. If, at any time, (i) there shall exist any dispute between or among Indemnitor Representative, Indemnitee and/or either of the Representatives with respect to the holding or disposition of all or any portion of the |
4
Escrow Shares or any other obligations of Escrow Agent hereunder, (ii) Escrow Agent is unable to determine, to Escrow Agents sole satisfaction, the proper disposition of all or any portion of the Escrow Shares or Escrow Agents proper actions with respect to its obligations hereunder, or (iii) the Representatives have not, within thirty (30) days of the furnishing by Escrow Agent of a notice of resignation pursuant to Section 7 hereof, appointed a successor escrow agent to act hereunder (which such successor escrow agent has accepted such appointment), then Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, take either or both of the following actions:
(a) | suspend the performance of any of its obligations (including any disbursement obligations) under this Agreement until such dispute or uncertainty shall be resolved to the sole satisfaction of Escrow Agent or until a successor escrow agent shall have been appointed (as the case may be). |
(b) | petition (by means of an interpleader action or any other appropriate method) any court of competent jurisdiction in any venue convenient to Escrow Agent, for instructions with respect to such dispute or uncertainty, and to the extent required or permitted by law, turn over to such court, for holding and disposition in accordance with the instructions of such court, all Escrow Shares. |
Escrow Agent shall have no liability to Indemnitors, Indemnitee, or either of the Representatives, or to their respective shareholders, partners, or members, officers or directors, employees, Affiliates or any other person with respect to any such suspension of performance or disbursement into court (including any disbursement obligations hereunder), specifically including any liability or claimed liability that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, out of or as a result of any delay in the disbursement of Escrow Shares or any delay in or with respect to any other action required or requested of Escrow Agent.
6. | Intentionally Omitted. |
7. | Resignation of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving ten (10) days prior written notice to Indemnitor Representative, Indemnitee and the Representatives specifying the date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Representatives shall jointly issue to Escrow Agent a Joint Written Direction authorizing redelivery of the Escrow Shares to an escrow agent that has been retained as successor to Escrow Agent hereunder prior to the effective date of such resignation. The retiring Escrow Agent shall transmit all records pertaining to the Escrow Shares and shall transfer all Escrow Shares to the successor escrow agent for the benefit of the Indemnitors, after making copies of such records as the retiring Escrow Agent deems advisable. After any retiring Escrow Agents resignation, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Escrow Agent under this Agreement. Any corporation or other entity into which Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be merged or consolidated, or any other entity to which all or a majority of all of Escrow Agents escrow business may be transferred by sale of assets or otherwise, shall be Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act or consent of any party hereto. |
5
8. | Liability of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only the ministerial duties as are expressly set forth herein and no other duties and obligations (fiduciary or otherwise) shall be implied. Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any other person to make any payment or delivery, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery to be made, or to enforce any obligation of any other person to perform any other act. Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement (even though such agreement may be referenced in this Agreement) other than this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and any other agreement, as to Escrow Agent, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control subject to Section 29 hereof. Escrow Agent is not a party to the Underlying Agreement, is not bound by any of its terms, and has not undertaken in any way to effectuate, implement or comply with the Underlying Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Indemnitors or Indemnitee or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Escrow Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to the Indemnitors or Indemnitee. Escrow Agents sole responsibility shall be for the safekeeping and disbursement of the Escrow Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties or obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth herein. Escrow Agent may rely conclusively, and shall be protected in acting, upon any notice, instruction (including a Joint Written Direction (such as a wire transfer instruction)), request, order, judgment, certification, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by Escrow Agent), statement, demand or other instrument or document, not only as to its due execution, validity (including the authority of the person signing or presenting the same) and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall believe to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same. In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. The officers, directors, members, partners, trustees, employees, agents, attorneys or other representatives and Affiliates of Escrow Agent owe no duty or obligation to any party hereunder and shall have no liability to any person by reason of any error of judgment, for any act done or not done, for any mistake of fact or law, or otherwise. |
Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal or other action or commence any proceeding in connection with the Escrow Shares, this Agreement or the Underlying Agreement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or proceeding (whether or not it shall have been furnished with acceptable indemnification and advancement). Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or of any other agreement or of its duties hereunder, or relating to any dispute or question involving any party hereto, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully indemnified from any liability
6
whatsoever in acting in accordance with the opinion or instruction of such counsel. Indemnitor Representative (solely on behalf of the Indemnitors) and Indemnitee, jointly and severally, shall promptly pay, upon demand, the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of any such counsel. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the use or application of any Escrow Shares released by Escrow Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof.
Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the proper person or persons that a fact or an event by reason of which an action would or might be taken by Escrow Agent does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith, in reliance upon such assumption.
Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Shares, without determination by Escrow Agent of such courts jurisdiction in the matter. If any portion of the Escrow Shares is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such event, Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel selected by it is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if Escrow Agent complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.
9. | Indemnification of Escrow Agent. From and at all times after the date of this Agreement, Indemnitor Representative (solely on behalf of the Indemnitors and in its capacity as Indemnitor Representative, not in its individual capacity) and Indemnitee, jointly and severally, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent and each director, officer, member, partner, trustee, employee, attorney, agent and Affiliate of Escrow Agent (collectively, the Indemnified Parties) against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, costs, penalties, settlements, judgments and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of, in connection with, or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person, including Indemnitors, Indemnitee and/or the Representatives, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any person (whether it is an Indemnified Party or not) under any statute or regulation, including any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance of this Agreement or any |
7
transactions contemplated herein or relating hereto (including tax reporting or withholding or the enforcement of any rights or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement), whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation (without derogation of any other indemnity afforded to Escrow Agent); provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel (and such counsels costs and expenses) shall be paid, upon demand, by the Indemnitors and Indemnitee jointly and severally. |
The parties hereto agree that the payment by the Indemnitor Representative (on behalf of the Indemnitors) or Indemnitee of any claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification hereunder in respect of a claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification shall not impair, limit, modify, or affect, as between Indemnitor and Indemnitee, the respective rights and obligations of the Indemnitors, on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, under the Underlying Agreement.
10. | Fees, Costs and Expenses of Escrow Agent. Indemnitee shall compensate Escrow Agent for its services hereunder in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto and, in addition, shall reimburse Escrow Agent for all of its reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including attorneys fees, travel expenses, telephone and facsimile transmission costs, postage (including express mail and overnight delivery charges), copying charges and the like. The additional provisions and information set forth on Schedule A hereto are hereby incorporated by this reference, and form a part of this Agreement. All of the compensation and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 10 shall be payable by Indemnitee upon execution of this Agreement and, in the future, upon demand by Escrow Agent. |
11. | Representations and Warranties. |
(a) | Each of Indemnitor Representative and Indemnitee represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or organization, and has full corporate or limited liability company (as applicable) power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. |

(e) | Each of Indemnitor Representative and Indemnitee represents and warrants that all of its representations and warranties contained in this Section 11 are true and complete as of the date hereof. |
12. | Patriot Act Disclosure; Taxpayer Certification and Reporting. |
(a) | Patriot Act Disclosure. Indemnitor Representative and Indemnitee acknowledge that a portion of the identifying information set forth on Schedule A hereto is being requested by Escrow Agent in connection with the USA Patriot Act, Pub.L.107-56 (the Act), and Indemnitor Representative and Indemnitee agree to provide any additional information requested by Escrow Agent in connection with the Act or any similar law, rule, regulation, order, or other governmental act to which Escrow Agent is subject, in a timely manner and consent to Escrow Agent obtaining from third parties any such identifying information.

Escrow Agent may also require financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documentation from any individual claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. |
(b) | Certification and Tax Reporting. Indemnitor Representative and Indemnitee, if applicable, have provided the Escrow Agent with their respective fully executed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-8, or W-9 and/or other required documentation. The Escrow Agent shall rely upon (and obtain copies from the Exchange Agent or Indemnitee as necessary) the written payment instructions and all applicable tax forms used and collected by the Exchange Agent in connection with Closing payments. All interest or other income earned under this Agreement shall be allocated to Indemnitors and reported, as and to the extent required by law, by the Escrow Agent to the IRS, or any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned from the Escrow Shares by Indemnitors. Escrow Agent shall not have any liability for the payment of taxes with respect to the Escrow Shares, and Indemnitors and Indemnitee shall indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all such taxes. Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it deems appropriate in the absence of proper tax documentation or as required by law, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities. The Indemnitors and Indemnitee agree to treat the Escrow Shares as owned by the Indemnitors, and agree to file all tax returns on a basis consistent with such |
9
treatment. Indemnitee hereby represents and warrants to the Escrow Agent that the underlying transaction giving rise to this Agreement does not constitute an installment sale requiring any tax reporting or withholding of imputed interest or original issue discount to the IRS or other taxing authority. |
13. | Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. In the event that any party hereto commences a lawsuit or other proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the United States District Court for the Southern District of the State of New York shall have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any such proceeding.

The parties hereto consent to and agree to submit to the jurisdiction of any of the courts specified herein and agree to accept service of process to vest personal jurisdiction over them in any of these courts.
Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right to a trial by jury and agrees that any of them may file a copy of this section of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained-for agreement among the parties hereto irrevocably to waive the right to trial by jury in any litigation related to or arising under this Agreement.

10
each signatory.

Exhibit I
NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT
This NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made as of November 13, 2014, by and between Mandalay Digital Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Buyer), and Judson S. Bowman, an individual (Stockholder).
Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer, DTM Merger Sub, Inc. (Merger Sub), Appia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as such agreement may be amended from time to time and whether or not such agreement has been terminated, the Merger Agreement) dated as of the date hereof, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving entity in merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (any term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given such term in the Merger Agreement) and, among other things, all Company Capital Stock will be converted into shares of common stock of Buyer pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.
Buyer, in consideration of Stockholder approving the Merger Agreement and exchanging his Company Capital Stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement, and Stockholder, in consideration of Buyer entering into the Merger Agreement and paying to Stockholder his allocable share of the consideration payable under the Merger Agreement, hereby agree as follows:
1. Acknowledgments by Stockholder. Stockholder acknowledges that: (a) Stockholder has occupied a position of trust and confidence with the Company prior to the date hereof and has become familiar with confidential and proprietary information of the Company; (b) Stockholder has a substantial interest in the Company as the holder of a significant number of shares of the Company Capital Stock, and, as a result of the merger, Stockholder shall receive significant consideration in connection with the merger; (c) Buyer has required that Stockholder make the covenants set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement as a condition to Buyers entering into the Merger Agreement; (d) the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the business of the Company following the effective time of the merger; (e) Buyer intends to operate the business through the Company following the effective time of the merger; and (f) the Business would be irreparably damaged if Stockholder were to breach the covenants set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement. Stockholder further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Agreement do not impose an undue hardship on Stockholder and do not deprive Stockholder of Stockholders livelihood or business.
2. Covenants. Stockholder agrees that commencing on the Closing Date through the conclusion of the Applicable Time Period (as defined below) Stockholder will not and will cause the Restricted Persons not to, directly or indirectly:
(a) engage or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control of, be employed by, associated with, or in any manner connected with, lend his name, or any similar name to, lend credit to, or render services or advice to any business that is competitive with the business of the Company as it is currently conducted as of the Closing Date (collectively, the Competitive Business); provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit Stockholder from holding less than two (2%) of the outstanding equity securities of any actively traded public entity involved in the Competitive Business. The geographic scope of the foregoing covenants is any geographic area in which the Company conducts its business as of the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any geographic area in which the Company sells or distributes products as of the Closing Date.
(b) either on behalf of Stockholder or any other Person (other than the Company) (i) directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit or participate in the solicitation of or otherwise advise or encourage any employee, Contingent Worker, agent or representative of, or advertiser, publisher, vendor or supplier to, the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate his or its relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates or to reduce the amount of business such Person does with the Company or any of its Affiliates; or (ii) directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit or participate in the solicitation of or otherwise advise or encourage any employee, Contingent Worker, agent or representative of, or to, the Company or any of its Affiliates to become an employee, Contingent Worker, agent or representative of or to any other Person; or (iii) hire or employ any employee of the Company or its Affiliates.
(c) either on behalf of Stockholder or any other Person, solicit or accept the business of any Person known to be a customer or prospective customer of Buyer or any of its Affiliates as of the Closing Date, for purposes of engaging in a Competitive Business.
(d) publicly or privately disparage, defame or criticize Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, or any product or service of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, or any past or present employee, officer or director of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, or of any member of any board of directors of any Affiliate of Buyer, except that notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be considered a violation of this Agreement for Stockholder to provide information to any governmental or quasi-governmental regulatory body in the context of a disclosure or complaint to, or investigation or inquiry by, such governmental or quasi-governmental regulatory body.
In the event of a breach of any covenant set forth in this Section 2, the term of such covenant will be extended by the period of the duration of such breach. For purposes of this Agreement Applicable Time Period means the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Effective Time. Restricted Persons means any Affiliate of Stockholder or any other Person acting on behalf of Stockholder or any of Stockholders Affiliates.
3. New Employment. During the term of this Agreement Stockholder will inform all future employers of his obligations under this Agreement.

Stockholder agrees that in such event, Buyer will have the right to specific performance and injunctive relief (without posting any bond or other security) in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. All rights and remedies of Buyer under this Agreement will be cumulative.
6. Legal Expenses. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged or actual dispute, breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled.

No party will assign any of its respective rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided however, that Buyer may assign its rights hereunder to any successor in interest of Buyer.
8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any and all other agreements between the Company and Stockholder relating to the subject matter hereof (including the Support Agreement), comprise the entire agreement and understanding of the Company and Buyer, on the one hand, and Stockholder, on the other, in respect of the subject matter hereof; and as such, any and all such prior agreements, arrangements and understandings between the Company and Stockholder relating to the subject matter hereof shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.
9. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by or on behalf of the party waiving compliance. The failure of any party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement will in no manner affect the right of that party at a later time to enforce such provision. No waiver by any party of any condition or of any breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, will be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of any breach of the term, covenant, representation or warranty or any other term, covenant, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement.
