Venture Finance LLC (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and non-assessable
shares of the Class of Stock (the “Shares”) of Reply! Inc. (the “Company”) at the initial exercise
price per Share (the “Warrant Price”) set forth above, as constituted on the date hereof and as
adjusted pursuant to the other terms of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms
and conditions set forth in this Warrant. This Warrant is being issued pursuant to a Loan and
Security Agreement between the Company and Holder dated as of August 30, 2005 (the “Loan
Agreement”) (Capitalized terms used herein, which are not defined, shall have the meanings set
forth in the Loan Agreement.)
ARTICLE 1. SHARES; EXERCISE.
1.1 Number of Shares. The number of Shares initially subject to this Warrant shall
initially be the number of Shares set forth above.
1.2 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering (including a
facsimile transmission) a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as
Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right
set forth in Section 1.3, Holder shall also deliver to the Company the aggregate Warrant Price for
the Shares being purchased (i) by wire transfer or by check, or (ii) by notice of cancellation of
indebtedness of the Company to Holder, or (iii) a combination of (i) or (ii).
1.3 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 1.2,
Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares
determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities
otherwise issuable upon the proposed whole or partial exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate
Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of
the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.6 below.
-1-
1.4 Effective Date of Exercise. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided
above. The person entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the
date the Holder is deemed to have exercised this Warrant.
1.5 No Rights of Shareholder. This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any voting
rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon exercise hereof, as set
forth herein, the Holder shall be deemed to be a shareholder of the Company holding the number of
shares as to which this Warrant has been exercised on the date the Notice of Exercise in
substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 has been delivered to the principal office of the
Company with any payment or other documents called for by the terms hereof.
1.6 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded in a public market, the fair market
value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s
stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day immediately before
Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not traded in a public
market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable
good faith judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in
writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder shall promptly
agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to undertake such valuation. If the Company and
Holder are unable to agree on such investment banking firm, then the Holder shall select three
reputable investment banking firms, and from those three firms the Company shall select one to
undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than that
determined by the Board of Directors by more than 10%, then all fees and expenses of such
investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and
expenses shall be paid by Holder.
1.7 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or
converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired
and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant
representing the Shares not so acquired shall be delivered to Holder.
1.8 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of an affidavit of an officer of the Holder of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to
the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the
Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like
tenor.
1.9 Acquisition of the Company. Upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor
entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the
same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of
the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for
the Acquisition and subsequent closing. As used herein, “Acquisition” means any sale, license, or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any reorganization,
consolidation, or merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company’s voting
-2-
securities before the transaction (for such purpose treating all outstanding options and warrants
to purchase voting securities of the Company as having been exercised and treating all outstanding
debt and equity securities convertible into voting securities of the Company as having been
converted) beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving
entity after the transaction.
1.10 Automatic Exercise Prior to Expiration, To the extent this Warrant is not
previously exercised as to all of the Shares subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one
Share is greater than the Warrant Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically
exercised pursuant to Section 1.3 above (even if not yet surrendered) immediately before its
expiration date as set forth in this Warrant. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair
market value of one Share upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.6 above.
To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to
this Section, the Company agrees to promptly notify the holder hereof of the number of Shares, if
any, the holder hereof is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its
Stock payable in Common Stock or other securities, or subdivides the outstanding Stock into a
greater amount of Stock, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall
receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have
been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision
occurred.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange,
substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities
issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon
exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder
would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such
reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic
conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as
the Shares to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Articles or Certificate of
Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s Common Stock. After
the occurrence of such an event, the Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new
Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of
securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section
2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other
events.
2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or
consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price
shall be proportionately increased.
-3-
2.4 Price Adjustment. If the Company issues additional common shares (including shares
of Common Stock ultimately issuable upon conversion of a security convertible into Common Stock)
after the date of the Warrant and the consideration per additional common share is less than the
Warrant Price in effect immediately before such issue, the price at which the Shares are converted
to Common Stock shall be adjusted in accordance with the treatment of the series of securities of
which the Shares are part under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in effect on the Issue
Date.
2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles or Certificate
of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the
Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this
Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s
rights under this Article against impairment.
2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or
conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the
nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the
Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder a cash amount
computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
2.7 Certificate as to Adjustments; Other Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the
Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish
Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the
facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder
a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of
adjustments leading to such Warrant Price. If any change in the outstanding securities of the
Company or any other event occurs, as to which the other provisions of this Article 2 are not
strictly applicable, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the
Holder in accordance with such provisions, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an
adjustment in the number and class of shares subject to this Warrant, the Warrant Price or the
application of such provisions, so as to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid and to give the
Holder, upon exercise for the same aggregate Warrant Price, the total number, class and kind of
securities as it would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had it
continued to hold such securities until after the event requiring the adjustment.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the
Holder as follows:
(a) The initial Warrant Price hereunder is not greater than (i) the price per share at which

Warrant, and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance,
be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and
encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal
and state securities laws. The Company shall, at all times, reserve a sufficient number of Shares
and of shares of Common Stock for issuance upon Holder’s exercise of its rights hereunder and
conversion of the Shares.
(c) The Capitalization Table attached hereto as Exhibit A is true and complete as of the Issue

dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, properly, stock, or other

the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or

or substantially all of its assets, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; or (e) offer holders of
registration rights the opportunity to participate in an underwritten public offering of the
company’s securities for cash, then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give
Holder (1) at least 20 days prior written notice of the date on which a record will be taken for

of Common Stock will be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of
the matters referred to in (a) and (b) above; (2) in the case of the matters referred to in (c) and
(d) above at least 20 days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and
specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to exchange their Common
Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event); and (3) in
the case of the matter referred to in (e) above, the same notice as is given to the holders of such
registration rights.
