B. On or prior to the Effective Date, all outstanding shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company, comprised of series A-1 preferred stock (“Series A-1 Preferred”), series A-2 preferred stock (“Series A-2 Preferred”) and Series A-3 Preferred Stock (“Series A-3 Preferred”) (collectively, the “Company Preferred Stock”), will convert into shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”).
 
C. Pursuant to the Merger, all outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, along with any outstanding options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (“Company Options”), will, in accordance with this Agreement, be exchanged on the basis set forth in this Agreement, for (A) shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”), and (B) cash consideration.
 
D. The Parties hereto intend, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and to cause the Merger to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368 of the Code.

For the avoidance of doubt, if either of the milestones listed above for each earn-out payment of $245,000.00 are achieved by less than 100%, but more than or equal to 75%, or by less than 75% but more than or equal to 50%, then the payment of the earnout shall be 75% or 50%, respectively, of the full amount that would have been paid out if the milestones were fully achieved.
 
(ii) On the second-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall report in writing to the Shareholders and Optionholders the amount of the Earn-Out that has been earned and issue to each Shareholder and Optionholder such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to each such Shareholder’s and Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of up to four hundred ninety thousand dollars ($490,000.00) of Parent Common Stock, valued at the Signing Price, subject to the following: (A) Two hundred forty-five thousand dollars ($245,000.00) is payable upon the Surviving Corporation and Operating Division, in the aggregate, realizing one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000.00) in gross revenues (determined in accordance with GAAP) for the one-year period commencing on the one- year anniversary date of Closing and ending on the two-year anniversary date of Closing; and (II) Two hundred forty-five thousand dollars ($245,000.00) is payable upon the Surviving Corporation and Operating Division, in the aggregate, achieving an average growth rate in video views across their branded and/or managed channels, as video views are defined natively on each channel (i.e. based on the amount of time a video must be watched on each channel in order to be a validated video view on that channel), of 7% per month during the one-year period commencing on the one-year anniversary date of Closing and the two-year anniversary date of Closing, including a minimum of 40,000,000 views per month in months 22, 23 and 24 following the Closing Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.5(b), if Xxxxx Xxxxx is terminated for cause or resigns from his employment with the Parent (and/or its affiliates, successor or assigns) at any time on before the second anniversary of the Closing, and any such resignation is without “Good Reason” as such term is defined in his employment agreement, then the maximum amount of any portion of the Earn-Out that has not yet been earned as of the date of resignation shall be reduced by 44.0164%. Solely by way of example, if Mr. Mereu resigned at a time when $700,000 worth of the Earn- Out had already been earned, then the maximum remaining portion of the Earn-Out is $156,628.08, and the aggregate maximum Earn-Out is $856,628.08.

(vii) If any Shareholder disputes the calculation of the Earn-Out, then such Shareholder shall deliver a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Parent at any time during the 45 day period commencing upon receipt by the Shareholder of written notice from the Parent as to the amount of any element of the Earn-Out (the “Review Period”). The Dispute Notice shall set forth the basis for the dispute of any such calculation in reasonable detail and Shareholder’s calculation of each disputed amount.
 
 
 
 
-4-
 
 
(viii) If no Shareholder delivers a Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Parent’s calculation of the Earn-Out shall be deemed final and binding on Parent and each Shareholder and Optionholder for all purposes of this Agreement.
 
(ix) If a Shareholder delivers a Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then such Shareholder and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the Earn-Out elements that are in dispute. If the Shareholder and Parent are unable to reach agreement on the Earn-Out within 20 days after the end of the Review Period, either party shall have the right to refer such dispute to an independent nationally recognized accounting or valuation firm that is mutually agreed upon by Parent and such Shareholder (such firm, or any successor thereto, being referred to herein as the “Designated Accounting Firm”). In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Designated Accounting Firm: (A) each of the Shareholder and Parent shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Designated Accounting Firm to provide its views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of the Earn-Out; provided, that none of Shareholder, Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Designated Accounting Firm regarding the subject matter hereof without the other party’s prior written consent; (B) each of the Shareholder and Parent shall promptly provide, or cause to be provided, to the Designated Accounting Firm all information reasonably necessary to enable the Designated Accounting Firm to resolve such disputes;
(C) the Designated Accounting Firm shall determine the Earn-Out in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within 30 days after such referral, and upon reaching such determination shall deliver a copy of its calculations (the “Expert Calculations”) to the Shareholders and Parent; and (D) the determination made by the Designated Accounting Firm of the Earn-Out elements that are in dispute shall, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, be conclusive, binding upon the Parties, nonappealable, and not be subject to further review, and shall be considered a final arbitration award that is enforceable pursuant to the terms of the Federal Arbitration Act. The fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent, on the one hand, and the Shareholders and Optionholders, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party.
 
(x) The Earn-Out, including the contingency based on retention of Mr. Mereu, is part of the overall purchase consideration paid for the Company, is inseparable from the purchase price and and is not a compensatory arrangement. Parent, Surviving Corporation and each other party hereto shall file any and all tax returns and other filings to reflect the foregoing. In no event shall the Parent treat all or any part of the Earn-Out as compensation and shall not reflect all or any portion of the Earn-Out as an expense in its accounting treatment of the Earn-Out.
 
(c) Hold-Back. On the Hold-Back Closing Date, the Parent shall provide each Shareholder and Optionholder with a written notice of any Determined Liabilities providing reasonable detail thereof. If no Shareholder or Optionholder provides written notice of objection within 10 days, the Parent’s determination of the Determined Liabilities shall be final and binding. If any Shareholder or Optionholder objects to the Parent’s determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute and the Parent shall provide access to such books and records as may reasonably be requested for the purpose of calculating the Determined Liabilities. Within 2 days after the Determined Liabilities are finally determined, the Parent shall pay each of the Shareholders and Optionholders by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such accounts as may be designated in writing by the Shareholders and Optionholders, each such Shareholder’s and Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Hold-Back Consideration Amount.
 
(d) Effect of Merger. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, each share of Company Common Stock and each Company Option that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished and be converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive (i) the cash amounts and shares of Parent Common Stock described in Section 1.5(a), and (ii) payment of such holder's Pro Rata Share of the Earn-Out, if and to the extent that any Earn-Out is payable to the Shareholders and Optionholders pursuant to this Agreement.
 
 
 
 
-5-
 
 
(e) Payment Schedule. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a schedule setting forth with respect to each Shareholder and Optionholder (the “Payment Schedule”): (i) the name, address of record and e-mail address (if known by the Company) of such Shareholder or Optionholder, (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock held by each such Shareholder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) with respect to any Optionholder, the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Options, and the exercise price for each such Company Option, (iv) the portion of the Closing Consideration Amount payable (without regard to Tax withholding) to such Shareholder or Optionholder at the Closing with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock and/or Company Options held by such Shareholder or Optionholder, and (F) such Shareholder’s or Optionholder's Pro Rata Share (expressed as a percentage).
 
1.6 Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, holders of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Common Stock Certificates”), and options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Option Certificates”) that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall cease to have any rights as shareholders and optionees of the Company, and the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock and Company Option Certificates outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
 
1.7
Exchange of Certificates.
 
(a) At the Closing, upon the delivery of the Company Common Stock Certificates and Company Option Certificates to Parent held by the Shareholders and Optionholders, respectively, which shall properly be endorsed in blank or shall be accompanied by a properly executed stock power (as appropriate), Parent shall deliver to each Shareholder and Optionholder the Merger consideration issuable to them per Section 1.5(a); provided that the stock certificates delivered by Parent shall represent only whole shares of Parent Common Stock and shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares in lieu of any fractional shares to which a Shareholder would otherwise be entitled. All Company Common Stock Certificates and Option Certificates surrendered to Parent shall be canceled, and until surrendered and canceled as contemplated by this Section 1.7(a), shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger consideration payable in accordance with the terms hereof. If any Company Common Stock Certificate or Company Option Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of any Merger consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Common Stock Certificate or Company Option Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Common Stock Certificate or Company Option Certificate.
 
(b) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Shareholder or Optionee pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as Parent or the Surviving Corporation is required to deduct or withhold therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be timely remitted to the appropriate taxing authority and, upon such remittance, treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

1.8 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by any party to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation or Parent with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the Shareholders, Optionholders and the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.
 
Appraisal Rights.
 
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Company Common Stock that constitute Appraisal Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and each holder of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled only to receive such consideration as is determined to be due with respect to such Appraisal Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Appraisal Shares shall not have and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a stockholder of the Surviving Corporation. If any holder of Appraisal Shares shall fail to perfect or shall otherwise waive, withdraw or lose such holder’s right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then (i) the right of such holder to be paid such consideration as is determined to be due pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease, and (ii) such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into and have become exchangeable only for the right to receive (upon the surrender of the Company Stock Certificate(s) or Book Entry Shares previously representing such Appraisal Shares) the Merger Consideration, without interest and reduced by the amount of any withholding that is required under Section 1.7(b).
 
The Company (i) shall give Parent written notice of any demand by any stockholder of the Company for appraisal of such stockholder’s Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, and (ii) shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand. The Company shall not make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle any such demands for appraisal without the consent of Parent.

Any exception or qualification set forth in the Disclosure Schedules with respect to a particular representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an exception or qualification with respect to all other applicable representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement as and to the extent the content of such disclosure makes its applicability to such other representations, warranties and covenants reasonably apparent.

(i) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
 
(ii) Use reasonable, diligent efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Parent under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(b) At any time beginning 180 days after the issuance of any Parent Common Stock to any Shareholder or Optionholder hereunder, upon request of any Shareholder or Optionholder (or any broker of such Shareholder or Optionholder), and submission of such forms of “seller representation letters” and “broker representation letters” as may be customary, Parent shall, at its sole cost, take such actions as may be reasonably required to cause the removal of any restrictive legends contained on the certificates evidencing shares of Parent Common Stock received by such Shareholder or Optionholder pursuant to this Agreement (including providing instructions to its transfer agent and making arrangements for any opinion of counsel required by the transfer agent).
 
(c) The Corporation shall notify all Shareholders and Optionholders in writing at least 30 days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Parent (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Parent, but excluding registration statements relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization or other transaction covered by Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act) and will afford each such Shareholder and Optionholder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Parent Common Stock then held by such Shareholder or Optionholder; provided, however, such inclusion in any registration statement under the Securities Act filed by Parent (other than the exceptions noted above) shall be expressly subject to the following. if the total number of securities requested by Shareholders and Optionholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company), that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities which the underwriters and the Parent in their sole and absolute discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the securities requested to be registered by the Shareholders and the Optionholders can be included in such offering, then the securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of securities owned by the Shareholders, Optionholders and other selling shareholders. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Parent or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Shareholder or Optionholder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

If a Shareholder or Optionholder decides not to include all of its shares of Parent Common Stock in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Parent, such Shareholder or Optionholder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any shares of Parent Common Stock in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Parent with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

6.2 Company Indemnification. From and after the date of this Agreement (but subject to Section 6.4), the Company agrees to hold harmless and indemnify any Parent Indemnitee from and against, and shall compensate, reimburse and pay for, any Damages which are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by such Parent Indemnitee or to such Parent Indemnitee may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and which arise from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with: (a) any material inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Company as of the Closing Date that is set forth in this Agreement (after giving effect to the Disclosure Schedules and subject to the Company Representation Completion Date); (b) any material breach of any covenant or obligation of Company; or (c) any Legal Proceeding relating to any inaccuracy or breach of the type referred to in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 6.2 (including any Legal Proceeding commenced by such Parent Indemnitee for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Section 6.2).

6.4
Procedures for Third Party Claims.
 
(a) The Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of becoming aware of any claim or demand by another Person (a “Third Party Claim”) for which a claim for indemnification could be made hereunder, written notice thereof, specifying, to the extent then known by the Indemnitee, the amount of such claim, the nature and basis of such claim and all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto, including copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to such claim or demand; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (other than a failure to deliver such notice prior to the Company Representation Completion Date or Parent Representation Completion Date, as applicable), except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by the Indemnitee's failure to give such notice. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall keep the Indemnifying Party informed on a current basis as to any changes or developments with respect to the foregoing, including by providing copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) from time to time received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.
 
(b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and may upon written notice given to the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) Business Days of the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the notice of such Third Party Claim assume the defense thereof, at the Indemnifying Party 's cost, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and the Indemnitee shall have the right to control such defense if (i) such Third Party Claim seeks injunctive, equitable or other non-monetary relief, (ii) such Third Party Claim involves criminal or quasi- criminal allegations, or (iii) the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that an actual conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The party controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim shall keep the other party reasonably advised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend a Third Party Claim, each Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party's request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information (including those of the Surviving Corporation, if applicable) which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees (including those of the Surviving Corporation if applicable) available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not settle, discharge or compromise such Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment in such Third Party Claim, without the Indemnifying Party's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnitee's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, settle, discharge or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Third Party Claim if such settlement, discharge, compromise or judgment (A) involves any finding or admission of any violation of any Legal Requirement on behalf of the Indemnitee or any of its affiliates or any of their respective representatives,
(B) does not cause each Indemnitee that is party to such Third Party Claim to be fully and unconditionally released from all liability with respect to such claim, or (C) imposes equitable remedies or material non- monetary obligations on the Indemnitee.
 
 
 
 
-28-
 
 
6.5 Procedures for Inter-Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnitee determines that it has a claim for Damages against an Indemnifying Party hereunder (other than as a result of a Third Party Claim), the Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party specifying (to the extent known and quantifiable) the amount of such claim, the nature and basis of the alleged breach giving rise to such claim and all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (other than a failure to deliver such notice prior to the Company Representation Completion Date or Parent Representation Completion Date, as applicable), except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by the Indemnitee's failure to give such notice. The Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information and documentation as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in order to verify any claim for Damages and with reasonable access to its books and records (including the Surviving Corporation' books and records) during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice for the purpose of allowing the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to verify any such claim for Damages. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice if the Indemnifying Party disputes liability to the Indemnitee under this Section with respect to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so notify the Indemnitee, the claim specified by the Indemnitee in such notice shall be conclusively deemed to be a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed liability with respect to such claim as provided above, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute.
 
6.6 Source of Company Indemnity. Any indemnification owed to a Parent Indemnitee shall be satisfied solely from the Earn-Out.
 
6.7 Determination of Damages. For purposes of this Agreement, any determination of Damages shall (a) be reduced (i) by any Tax benefits realized by the indemnified party (assuming a combined federal and state income Tax rate of 25 percent), and (ii) by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually recovered by the indemnified party with respect to such Damages (after reasonable good faith efforts to recover thereon, including filing and diligent pursuit of a claim with the insurer); and (b) exclude all items specified in Section 6.6. The calculation of Damages shall not include damages arising because of a change after Closing in Legal Requirements or accounting policies. To the extent that a claim for indemnification by Parent hereunder relates to a liability incurred by the Company and there is an accrual on the Unaudited Interim Balance Sheet in respect of such liability, then the determination of Damages in respect of such claim shall be net of such accrual.
 
 
 
 
-29-
 
 
6.8 No Consequential Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT OR PROVIDED FOR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW, NO PARTY SHALL, IN ANY EVENT, BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PERSON, EITHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR SUCH OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS, DIMINUTION OF VALUE OR LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY RELATING TO THE BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH HEREOF, WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES HAS BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE OTHER PARTY IN ADVANCE OR COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEN BY SUCH OTHER PARTY.
 
6.9 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Effective Time, except for the remedy of specific performance, and except in the case of Fraud, indemnification under this Section 6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any claim or action related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the operations of the Company prior to the Closing, whether such claim or action is based on contract, tort or otherwise. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company each hereby waive any provision of any Legal Requirement to the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreement contained in this Section.
