(a) a copy of this Amendment executed by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Required Holders;

(b) a copy of the fully executed Third Bank Amendment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders (a true, correct and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Annex 1), which, among other things, provides for an increase in the aggregate Revolver Commitments (as defined in the New Loan Agreement) thereunder from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000;

In addition, all corporate and other proceedings in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Amendment and all documents and instruments incident to such transactions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and their special counsel (such satisfaction to be established by the execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Required Holders). The date on which all such conditions to the effectiveness of this Amendment have been met is referred to herein as the “Effective Date”.

For purposes hereof, the “Primary Exchange” means the “Primary Exchange” identified on page 2 on the Bloomberg Financial Markets Information Service (or, if Bloomberg ceases to publish such price, any successor service reasonably chosen by the Company) page “WWON<Equity> DES” (or the equivalent successor if such page is not available).

4. Representations and Warranties. To induce the Noteholders to enter into this Amendment, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Noteholders that:

(a) The execution and delivery by the Company of this Amendment, and the performance by the Company of this Amendment, the Third Bank Amendment and the Securities Purchase Agreement (i) are within the Company’s power and authority; (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action; (iii) are not in contravention of any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents; (iv) do not violate any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary; (v) except as set forth on Schedule 3(e) hereto, do not conflict with or result in the breach or termination of, constitute a default under or accelerate any performance required by, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any such Subsidiary or any of their respective property is bound; (vi) do not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (except pursuant to the Security Documents); and (vii) except as set forth on Schedule 3(e) hereto and except for such consents or approvals as have already been obtained, do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person.

(b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and this Amendment constitutes, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies in general or by general principles of equity.

(c) Except to the extent resulting from the failure, if any, of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement (as defined below) in connection with (A) the prepayment of the Notes required by Section 5(b) of the First Amendment, and (B) the prepayment of the Notes required by Section 4 of the Second Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof and as of the Effective Date.

(d) Other than (i) payment of the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Banks incurred in connection with the Third Bank Amendment, and (ii) payment of an amendment fee in the amount of $75,000 to the Banks pursuant to the terms of the Third Bank Amendment, no consideration has been paid or is payable by the Company to any other Person, in its capacity as lender and/or guarantor, as an inducement to the Company’s or such Person’s execution and delivery of the Third Bank Amendment.

(e) Except as set forth on Schedule 3(e) hereto, the representations and warranties of the Company and each other Obligor contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement and each of the other Financing Documents are true and correct as of the date hereof as if made on the date hereof (other than those which, by their terms, specifically are made as of certain dates prior to the date hereof, which are true and correct as of such dates).

5. Waiver. In connection with any optional prepayment of the Notes to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 9.9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement that results in a prepayment of less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the Company shall request that each of the Noteholders waive the requirement under Section 7.3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement that any partial prepayment of the Notes be not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (the “5% Minimum Requirement”) solely with respect to any such prepayment. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain such waiver from the Noteholders prior to the date any such partial prepayment is required, each of the undersigned Noteholders hereby waives any right it may have to take action under Section 11.1(b) or Section 11.2 with respect to any Default or Event of Default arising solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with such optional prepayment, so long as, if the Credit Agreement includes a cross default to the Securities Purchase Agreement, at the time such prepayment is made, the Banks shall have similarly agreed not to take action with respect to any such cross default that exists under the Credit Agreement as a result of such prepayment. The waiver set forth in the preceding sentence is a limited waiver and shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or, except as specifically set forth in the preceding sentence, any future breach or violation of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any of the other Financing Documents or any document entered into in connection therewith. Except as expressly provided herein, the foregoing waiver shall not constitute (a) a modification or alteration of the terms, conditions or covenants of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any of the other Financing Documents or any document entered into in connection therewith, or (b) a waiver, release or limitation upon the exercise by the Noteholders of any of their rights, legal or equitable, hereunder or under the Securities Purchase Agreement, any Financing Document or any document entered into in connection therewith. Except as set forth above, each of the undersigned Noteholders reserves any and all rights and remedies which it has had, has or may have under the Securities Purchase Agreement, each Financing Document and any document entered into in connection therewith. Each of the undersigned Noteholders stipulates that the remedies at law of the Company in the event of any default or threatened default by such undersigned Noteholders in the performance of or compliance with the terms of this Section 5 solely with respect to its waiver of any right it may have to take action under Section 11.1(b) or Section 11.2 with respect to any Default or Event of Default arising solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement as provided above are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company does not concede that any payment made in connection with any optional prepayment of the Notes to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 9.9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement that results in a prepayment of less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding would constitute a breach of the 5% Minimum Requirement or otherwise entitle any Noteholders to assert the same. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will make the prepayments required by Section 9.9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement regardless of whether the waiver referred to in this Section 5 is obtained.

6. Effect of Amendment. Except as set forth expressly herein, all terms of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, the Existing Investor Rights Agreement, as amended hereby, each other Financing Document and any document entered into in connection therewith, shall be and remain in full force and effect. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Noteholders under the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, the Existing Investor Rights Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other documents entered into in connection therewith, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, the Existing Investor Rights Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other documents entered into in connection therewith. Any and all notices, requests, certificates and other instruments executed and delivered after the execution and delivery of this Amendment may refer to the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement and/or the Existing Investor Rights Agreement without making specific reference to this Amendment, but nevertheless all such references shall include this Amendment unless the context otherwise requires.

7. Confirmation of Amended and Restated Guarantee. By executing this Amendment each of the Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledges and confirms that (a) the Amended and Restated Guarantee continues in full force and effect notwithstanding the Securities Purchase Agreement Amendments and (b) the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement, each other Financing Document and this Amendment constitute indebtedness, liabilities and obligations guaranteed under the Amended and Restated Guarantee. Nothing in this Amendment extinguishes, novates or releases any right, claim, or entitlement of any of the Noteholders created by or contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes or the Amended and Restated Guarantee nor is the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor released from any covenant, warranty or obligation created by or contained herein or therein, except as such covenants and obligations are specifically amended by this Amendment.

8. Waiver of Preemptive Rights and Consents. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof:

(a) Each of the undersigned Noteholders hereby (a) waives all rights to notice which would otherwise be required by the Company under the Investor Rights Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4.03 thereof) solely in connection with the 2010 Stock Purchase and the 2011 Stock Purchase; provided that on the date that the 2011 Stock Purchase is consummated under the terms of the 2010 Purchase Agreement, the Company shall provide to each of the Noteholders a reasonably detailed calculation of the Fair Market Value of the shares to be sold in connection therewith, (b) waives any preemptive rights that the Noteholders may have under the Investor Rights Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4.03 thereof) solely in connection with the 2010 Stock Purchase and the 2011 Stock Purchase and (c) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement, consents to the issuance and sale by the Company of common stock of the Company in connection with the 2010 Stock Purchase and the 2011 Stock Purchase.

(b) The Noteholders consent to the execution and delivery of the Third Bank Amendment in the form attached as Annex 1, including without limitation the increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount and aggregate Revolver Commitments under the Credit Agreement from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 as set forth therein, agree that all liabilities pertaining to such increased Maximum Revolver Amount and aggregate Revolver Commitments shall constitute “Revolver Debt” under the New Term Loan Subordination Agreement and therefore do not constitute “Subordinated Debt” under the New Term Loan Subordination Agreement, and agree that Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and the Banks can rely on this consent as intended third party beneficiaries without the need to independently verify whether any of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment have been satisfied and this sentence may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of the Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and the Banks.

9. Release.

(a) In consideration of the agreements of the Noteholders contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases, remises and forever discharges the Noteholders, and their successors and assigns, and their present and former shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers, attorneys, financial advisors, employees, agents and other representatives (each Noteholder and all such other Persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Releasees” and individually as a “Releasee”), of and from all demands, actions, causes of action, suits, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, sums of money, accounts, bills, reckonings, damages and any and all other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set-off, demands and liabilities whatsoever (individually, a “Claim” and collectively, “Claims”) of every name and nature, either known or suspected, both at law and in equity, which the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their successors, assigns, or other legal representatives may now or hereafter own, hold, have or claim to have against the Releasees or any of them for, upon, or by reason of any circumstance, action, cause or thing whatsoever which arises at any time on or prior to the day and date of this Amendment, including, without limitation, for or on account of, or in relation to, or in any way in connection with any of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any of the other Financing Documents or any other documents entered into in connection therewith or transactions thereunder or related thereto.

(b) Each of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

10. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Schedule 3(e)

Exceptions to Representations and Warranties

Pursuant to Section 4 of the Second Amendment, the Company agreed to prepay the Notes on the dates and in the amounts set forth in Section 4 thereof. To the extent any such prepayment did not equal or exceed the 5% Minimum Requirement (as defined in this Amendment), such prepayment, in the absence of a waiver by each Noteholder regarding such optional prepayment on or prior to the date of prepayment, could be deemed a conflict under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with such prepayment. The Company’s representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety by reference to such conflict described in Section 4(c) of the Second Amendment. To the knowledge of the Company, the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with the prepayment of the Notes contemplated by Section 4 of the Second Amendment would not result in the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, except with respect to Section 4.6(a)(i) thereof to the extent that Section 4 of the Second Amendment is deemed to constitute a conflict with the 5% Minimum Requirement set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

In addition, pursuant to Section 9.9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to prepay the Notes with the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of the shares of capital stock of DG FastChannel, Inc. held by the Company in accordance with Section 8.9 hereof. To the extent any such prepayment does not equal or exceed the 5% Minimum Requirement (as defined in this Amendment), such prepayment, in the absence of a waiver by each Noteholder regarding such optional prepayment on or prior to the date of prepayment, could be deemed a conflict under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with such prepayment. The Company’s representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety by reference to such conflict described in Section 5 of the Amendment. To the knowledge of the Company, the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with the prepayment of the Notes contemplated by Section 9.9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement would not result in the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, except with respect to Section 4.6(a)(i) thereof to the extent that a prepayment made pursuant to Section 9.9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement is deemed to constitute a conflict with the 5% Minimum Requirement set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
