In the event Ditech should at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the then outstanding Ditech Stock, or a stock dividend or distribution on the then outstanding Ditech Stock, then, as of such record date (or the date of such distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the conversion prices set forth in Section 3.2(d) shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Ditech Stock issuable upon conversion as set forth in Section 3.2(d) shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Ditech Stock.

b.

d. Ditech shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Ditech Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion pursuant to Section 3.2(d) such number of shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion pursuant to Section 3.2(d); and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Ditech Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire amount pursuant to Section 3.2(d), in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to Simulscribe, Ditech will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as may, in the opinion of Ditech’s counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Ditech Stock to such number of shares of Ditech Stock as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

e. Until conversion pursuant to Section 3.2(d), Simulscribe shall not have any rights as a stockholder of Ditech.

any way arising out of or relating to the Services, and/or (e) any Ditech Excluded Infringement Claims. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Simulscribe shall have the right, in its absolute discretion and at its sole cost, to employ attorneys of its own choice and to institute or defend any such Claim. Ditech will promptly notify Simulscribe of any Claims where Simulscribe is responsible to indemnify Ditech, and will cooperate in the defense and settlement of the Claim and agree to any settlement of the Claim by Simulscribe; provided that any such settlement includes a general release of Ditech by the party bringing the Claim, and will tender control of the defense to Simulscribe. “Claim,” as used in this Section 10, means any losses, liabilities, costs, damages, claims, fines, penalties and expenses (including, without limitation, costs of defense or settlement and reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees). The foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any such Claim that arises out of or results from (i) any breach by Ditech of this Agreement, (ii) any combination or use of the Services provided by Simulscribe with any other products or services (whether combined or used by Ditech, its customers or any other person), (iii) any third party software or services provided by Ditech used to provide the Services, (iv) any modification to the Services made or requested by or on behalf of Ditech or (v) Ditech’s manufacture, use, sale, or offer for sale of the Services after Simulscribe’s written notice that Ditech should cease manufacture, use, sale, or offer for sale of such Services due to such Claim ((clauses (i) through (v) collectively, the “Simulscribe Excluded Infringement Claims”).

10.2 Indemnification by Ditech.

Ditech agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Simulscribe harmless (including but not limited to paying all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation) from (a) any Claims brought by any third party arising from any misstatements or misrepresentation of the Services by Ditech, its agents, employees, and its contractors, (b) activities relating to Ditech’s sales, marketing, distribution, and support of the Services not authorized by Simulscribe, (c) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by Ditech or failure of Ditech to perform its obligations under this Agreement, (d) any obligations or liabilities under any of the Assigned Customer Agreements arising or relating to any acts or obligations of Ditech on or after the Assignment Date, (d) violation of any applicable law by Ditech, in any way arising out of or relating to the Services and/or (e) any Simulscribe Excluded Infringement Claims. Simulscribe will promptly notify Ditech of any Claims where Ditech is responsible to indemnify Simulscribe, will cooperate in the defense and settlement of the Claim and agree to any settlement of the Claim by Ditech; provided that any such settlement includes a general release of Simulscribe by the party bringing the Claim, and will tender control of the defense to Ditech. The foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any such Claim that arises out of or results from Simulscribe’s manufacture, use, sale, or offer for sale of the Services after Ditech’s written notice that Simulscribe should cease manufacture, use, sale, or offer for sale of such Services due to such Claim, collectively, the “Ditech Excluded Infringement Claims.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the total liability of Simulscribe to Ditech under Sections [*] hereof in the aggregate shall not exceed [*], except to the extent that any such liability is due to the fraud or intentional misrepresentation of Simulscribe or infringement claims under Section 10. Ditech’s total liability under this Agreement is limited to and shall not exceed [*]. Except for claims with respect to [*] or with respect to any matter set forth in [*], in no event will either party be liable for any consequential, indirect, exemplary, special, or incidental damages, including any lost data and lost profits, arising from or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that Simulscribe shall not be liable for consequential, indirect, exemplary, special, or incidental damages, including any lost data and lost profits, arising from or relating to this Agreement for matters set forth in [*] in excess of [*], or for matters set forth in [*] in excess of $[*].

12. CHANGE OF CONTROL

12.1 Definition.

“Change of Control” as to a party shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following with respect to that party: (i) the acquisition by any person (or related group of persons), whether by tender or exchange offer made directly to that party’s stockholders, open market purchases or any other transaction or series of transactions, of common stock possessing sufficient voting power in the aggregate to elect an absolute majority of the members of that party’s Board of Directors; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which that party is not the surviving entity, except for a transaction in which securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the surviving entity are held by persons who held common stock immediately prior to such merger or consolidation; (iii) any reverse merger in which that party is the surviving entity but in which securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of that party’s outstanding securities are transferred to holders different from those who held such securities immediately prior to such merger; or (iv) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that party.

12.2 Effect.

a. In the event of a Change of Control of Simulscribe, (a) Ditech shall be entitled to receive, and Simulscribe shall pay to Ditech as liquidated damages within thirty (30) days of such Change of Control notice, the total of [*] and (b) [*]. The parties understand that Ditech will invest significant resources in building its business related to the exclusive use of the Services, which the parties anticipate will result in significant future revenue streams to Ditech, which the parties believe would be lost if Simulscribe were to undergo a Change of Control of Simulscribe, which would result not only in lost revenue but also in the loss of the value of Ditech’s investment in the business. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that it is impractical and extremely difficult to determine the actual damages or lost revenues that may result from a Change of Control of Simulscribe. Accordingly, the amounts payable to Ditech as “liquidated damages” under this Section 12.2(a) are (a) liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and (b) reasonable and not disproportionate to the presumed damages to Ditech, including through a loss of profits.

b. Additionally, in the event of a Change of Control of Simulscribe, Ditech shall be entitled to [*]. The parties understand that Ditech will invest significant resources in building its business related to the exclusive use of the Services, which the parties anticipate will result in significant future revenue streams to Ditech, which the parties believe would be lost if Simulscribe were to undergo a Change of Control of Simulscribe, which would result not only in lost revenue but also in the loss of the value of Ditech’s investment in the business. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that it is impractical and extremely difficult to determine the actual damages or lost revenues that may result from a Change of Control of Simulscribe. Accordingly, the amounts payable to Ditech as “liquidated damages” under this Section 12(b) are (a) liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and (b) reasonable and not disproportionate to the presumed damages to Ditech, including through a loss of profits.

13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Independent Contractors.

The relationship of Simulscribe and Ditech established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to

13.2 Force Majeure.

Except for the payment of monies, neither party shall be liable to the other for its failure to perform any obligations hereunder during any period in which performance is delayed on account of shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of terrorism, acts of God, war, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes, material shortages or any other cause which is beyond the reasonable control of such party.

13.3 Severability.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any person or set of circumstances, will be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, will not be impaired or otherwise affected and will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law

13.4 Assignment.

This Agreement may not be assigned by Simulscribe without Ditech’s prior written consent, except that Simulscribe may assign its rights to receive payment due under the promissory notes and payment of the Incremental Payment and the conversion and related rights with respect thereto. Except as is set forth below, this Agreement may not be assigned by Ditech without Simulscribe’s prior written consent. Any such assignment by Simulscribe or Ditech shall be null and void. For purposes of this section, a Change of Control of Simulscribe shall be considered an assignment of Simulscribe’s rights. Ditech may (without the prior written consent of Simulscribe) assign this Agreement, together with all of its rights and obligations hereunder, in connection with a merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets of the business to which this Agreement relates; provided that the assignee assumes all of Ditech’s obligations under this Agreement.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

$3,500,000

September 10, 2009

DITECH NETWORKS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to SIMULSCRIBE, LLC (the “Holder”), the principal sum of THREE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,500,000).

1. Principal. The principal amount due under this Note shall be due and payable in a single installment on the earlier of (a) September 10, 2011 and (b) the effective date of a Change in Control (as defined below), unless sooner accelerated in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Maturity Date”). The Company shall give the Holder at least seventeen (17) days prior written notice of the closing of a Change in Control under Section 1(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Note shall be null and void, and the Company shall not have any obligation to hereunder, in the event that any event occurs referenced in Sections 8.2(b), 8.3(b) or 12.2 of the Reseller Agreement, dated September [ ], 2009, between the Company and Simulscribe LLC, pursuant to which one or more of such sections provide that the Company would be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to the provisions of one or more of such sections. A “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following with respect to the Company: (i) the acquisition by any person (or related group of persons), whether by tender or exchange offer made directly to the Company’s stockholders, open market purchases or any other transaction or series of transactions, of common stock possessing sufficient voting power in the aggregate to elect an absolute majority of the members of that party’s Board of Directors; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, except for a transaction in which securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the surviving entity are held by persons who held the Company’s common stock immediately prior to such merger or consolidation; (iii) any reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but in which securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities are transferred to holders different from those who held such securities immediately prior to such merger; or (iv) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

2. Interest. There shall be no interest due under this Note.

3. Payments. Final payment in full of the principal of this Note will be made at the principal office of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender of this Note.

4. No Prepayment at the Option of the Company. The Company may not prepay this Note in whole or in part, at any time, without the prior written consent of the Holder.

5. Conversion.

(a) In accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, at the option of the Holder, the outstanding principal amount due hereunder shall be converted on the Maturity Date, in whole but not in part, into shares (individually, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). The initial conversion price is $3.50 per share of the Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”).

(b) No fractional Shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay the cash not converted in lieu of a fractional Share. To convert this Note pursuant to this Section 5, the Holder shall provide to the Company written notice of such conversion at least ten (10) days prior to the Maturity Date, and surrender this Note on or before the Maturity Date, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Holder. At its expense, the Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, deliver to such Holder at the address in the Company’s records for the Holder, a Stock Certificate endorsed to the Holder reflecting the number of Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion, together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note. Such certificate shall bear a legend in proper form, stating substantially as follows:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

In the event of any conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 5, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made on the Maturity Date and on and after such date the Holder of this Note entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Shares.

(c) In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance hereof fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the then outstanding Common Stock, or a stock dividend or distribution on the then outstanding Common Stock, then, as of such record date (or the date of such distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of this Note shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(d) If the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for this Note shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable on conversion hereof shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

(e) In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, then as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made whereby the Holder will have the right to acquire and receive upon conversion of this Note in lieu of the Shares immediately theretofore acquirable upon the conversion of this Note, such shares of stock, securities, cash or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of the Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note had such consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance not taken place. The Company will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Note and the obligations to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to acquire.

(f) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of its Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note such number of shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of its Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such Company action as may, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Stock to such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

(g) Until conversion of this Note the Holder shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company.

6. Events of Default and Right to Cure.

“Event of Default,” whenever used herein, means any one of the following (regardless of the reason or cause of such Event of Default):

(a) The Company fails to make a payment, when due, of any principal due on this Note;

(d) The issuance of any injunction or restraining order with respect to any material aspect of the business or assets of the Company, or levy on or attachment of any funds or other property, real or personal, of the Company, in an amount in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), if, in each case, the same is not dismissed, discharged, released, satisfied or vacated within a period of sixty (60) days;

(e) The entry of any judgment or order against the Company for the payment of money in an amount in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess of insurance coverage, if the same is not satisfied or enforcement proceedings are not stayed within sixty (60) days or if, within ninety (90) days after the expiration of any such stay, the judgment or order is not dismissed, discharged or satisfied;

(f) The occurrence of a “Trigger Event” under Section 3.2(e) of the Services Agreement, of even date herewith, between the Company and the Holder.

(i) declare the entire unpaid principal of this Note due and payable and such principal shall thereupon become due and payable without presentment, notice, protest, or demand of any kind (all of which are expressly waived by the Company); and

(ii) take all actions available to them, at law or in equity, to collect and otherwise enforce this Note;

provided however, in any event with respect to the Company described in paragraph (b) or (c) above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

7. Amendment. This Note may not be amended or modified except by written instrument executed by the Company and the Holder.

8. Additional Terms and Conditions. The Company: (i) waives presentment, demand, notice of demand, protest, notice of protest, and notice of nonpayment and any other notice required to be given under the law to the Company, in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note; and (ii) agrees that any failure to act or failure to exercise any right or remedy on the part of the registered owner shall not in any way affect or impair the obligations of the Company or be construed as a waiver by the owner of, or otherwise affect, any of its rights under this Note. In any litigation, arbitration, or other proceeding by which one party either seeks to enforce its rights under this Note (whether in contract, tort, or both) or seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations under this Note, the prevailing party shall be awarded its reasonable attorney fees, and costs and expenses incurred.

9. Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part or in any respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note operate or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Note, then and in either of those events, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect any other provision of this Note and the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced and disturbed thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
