ARTICLE

EXCHANGE
1.1 Exchange. At
the Closing and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Stockholders agree to contribute, transfer, assign and deliver to MPLC,
free
and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims and other restrictions, and MPLC
agrees to acquire from the Stockholders, all of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of New Motion (“New
Motion Shares”)
owned
by the Stockholders as specifically set forth on Schedule
1.1
hereto.
As of Closing, the New Motion Shares shall constitute all of the issued and
outstanding New Motion Shares. The exchange of New Motion Shares contemplated
hereunder and the other transactions contemplated hereunder shall be referred
to
herein as the “Transaction”
or
the
“Transactions.”

1.2 Closing. Unless
this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Article 9 hereof, the
closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Markiles, LLP, 00000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxx Xxxx, XX 00000 at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which
shall be no later than the third business day after the satisfaction or waiver
of the conditions set forth in Article 7, or at such other time, date and
location as the parties hereto agree in writing (the “Closing
Date”).
1.3 Exchange
Consideration. In
exchange for the New Motion Shares, MPLC shall issue to the Stockholders 500,000
shares ("MPLC
Preferred Shares")
of
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.10 per share, of MPLC (the
“Series
C Preferred Stock”)
in
accordance with Schedule
1.1
hereto.
Subject to Stockholder Approval as defined in Section 4.3(a) hereof and after
giving effect to the Reverse Split contemplated by Section 6.14(a), the MPLC
Preferred Shares shall be convertible into that number of shares of MPLC’s
Common Stock (“Conversion
Shares”),
equal
to 9,000,000, less the number of shares of MPLC Common Stock (on a post Reverse
Split basis) issuable upon exercise of all New Motion Options and Warrants
(as
defined in Section 1.7 below) following their assumption by MPLC pursuant to
Section 1.7 below. Immediately following the Transaction, but prior to giving
effect to any issuance of securities in connection with the Series B Financing
(as defined in Section 4.3 below) (and assuming no exercise or conversion of
outstanding options or convertible securities), the Stockholders will own
approximately 83.36% of the total combined voting power of all classes of MPLC
stock entitled to vote.
1.4 Delivery
of Certificates Representing the New Motion Shares. At
Closing, each Stockholder shall deliver the certificate(s) representing the
New
Motion Shares owned by such Stockholder, duly endorsed for transfer to MPLC
or
accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed for transfer to MPLC, with (i) all
such other documents as may be required to vest in MPLC good and marketable
title to the New Motion Shares free and clear of any and all Liens (as defined
in Section 2.3 hereof) and (ii) all necessary documentary stamps. New Motion
shall recognize and record the transfers described in this Section 1.4 on its
transfer books.
1.5 Issuance
of Certificates Representing MPLC's Preferred Shares. At
Closing, MPLC will issue MPLC’s Preferred Shares to the Stockholders as provided
in Schedule
1.1
hereto.
MPLC’s Preferred Shares, when issued, shall be restricted shares and may not be
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Stockholders without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities
Act")
or an
available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The certificates
representing MPLC’s Preferred Shares will contain the appropriate restrictive
legends.
1.6 Tax
Consequences. It
is intended by the parties hereto that the Stockholders’ contribution and
transfer of the New Motion Shares to MPLC in exchange for MPLC's Preferred
Shares constitutes a tax-deferred exchange within the meaning of Section 351
of
the Code.
1.7 Options
and Warrants.
At the
Closing, MPLC will assume each outstanding employee or director stock option
and
each outstanding warrant of New Motion listed on Schedule 3.3
(the
“New
Motion Options and Warrants”)
and
each such New Motion Option and Warrant will become an option or warrant (i)
to
purchase that number of shares (on a post Reverse Split basis) of MPLC Common
Stock obtained by multiplying the number of shares of New Motion Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such option or warrant by the Exchange Ratio,
(ii)
at an exercise price per share (on a post Reverse Split basis) equal to the
per
share exercise price of such option or warrant divided by the Exchange Ratio,
and (iii) otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as such option or
warrant. The “Exchange
Ratio”
means
the quotient of (a) 9,000,000 divided by (b) the sum of (i) the number of shares
of New Motion Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing, plus (ii) number
of
shares of New Motion Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all New Motion
Options and Warrants outstanding as of the Closing (but specifically excluding
any shares issuable pursuant to the IVG Note, as defined in Section 1.8 below).
Based on the current number of shares of New Motion Common Stock outstanding
and
the current number of shares of New Motion Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of all New Motion Options and Warrants set forth in Section 3.3 below,
the Exchange Ratio will be approximately 1.453, assuming no change to such
share
numbers between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date.
3
1.8 Convertible
Promissory Note.
At the
Closing, MPLC will assume the convertible promissory note issued by New Motion
to Index Visual & Games Ltd. (the “IVG
Note”),
on
the same terms and conditions as set forth in the IVG Note, provided that the
conversion price (on a post Reverse Split basis) shall be adjusted to equal
the
price obtained by dividing the conversion price set forth in the IVG Note by
the
Exchange Ratio.
1.9 Taking
of Necessary Action; Further Action. If,
at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable
to
carry out the purposes of this Agreement, including qualifying the Transaction
as a tax-deferred exchange within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code, and
to
vest MPLC with full right, title and possession to the New Motion Shares, the
Stockholders and MPLC will take all such lawful and necessary action.

in the event of conversion, may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed
of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom,
and
that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering MPLC’s
Preferred Shares, or the Conversion Shares in the event of conversion, or any
available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, MPLC’s Preferred
Shares and the Conversion Shares may have to be held indefinitely. Each
Stockholder further acknowledges that MPLC’s Preferred Shares, and the
Conversion Shares in the event of conversion, may not be sold pursuant to Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of Rule
144 are satisfied (including, without limitation, MPLC’s compliance with the

(a) When
a
reference is made in this Agreement to Exhibits, such reference shall be to
an
Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. When a reference is made
in this Agreement to Sections, such reference shall be to a Section of this
Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated the words “include,” “includes” and
“including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the
words “without limitation.” The table of contents and headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the
meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. When reference is made herein
to
“the business of” an entity, such reference shall be deemed to include the
business of all direct and indirect subsidiaries of such entity.
(b) For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Material
Adverse Effect”
when
used in connection with an entity means any change, event, violation,
inaccuracy, circumstance or effect, individually or when aggregated with other
changes, events, violations, inaccuracies, circumstances or effects, that is
materially adverse to the business, assets (including intangible assets),
revenues, financial condition or results of operations of such entity and its
subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole (it being understood that none of the
following alone or in combination shall be deemed, in and of itself, to
constitute a Material Adverse Effect: (a) changes attributable to the
public announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated hereby,
(b) changes in general national or regional economic conditions,
(c) changes affecting the industry generally in which New Motion or MPLC
operate, or (d) any SEC rulemaking requiring enhanced disclosure of reverse

11.3 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be
considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or
more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to
the
other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same
counterpart. Signatures by facsimile or by electronic signature are deemed
to
constitute original signatures.
11.4 Entire
Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This
Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the
parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Schedules
hereto (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof, it being understood that the Letter of Intent between
MPLC, Xxxxxx and New Motion shall terminate upon the execution of this
Agreement; and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person any
rights or remedies hereunder (except as specifically provided in this
Agreement).
11.5 Severability. In
the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof,
becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
void
or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force
and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of
the
parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable
provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will
achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes
of
such void or unenforceable provision.
11.6 Other
Remedies; Specific Performance. Except
as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred
upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other
remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise
by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that
any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with
their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that
the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent
breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction,
this
being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or
in
equity.
11.7 Governing
Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under
applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.
11.8 Rules
of Construction. The
parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the
negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the
application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing
that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against
the
party drafting such agreement or document.
11.9 Assignment. No
party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or
obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties.
Subject to the first sentence of this Section 11.9, this Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.
42
11.10 Arbitration. Any
disputes or claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereunder shall be resolved by binding arbitration.
Notice of a demand to arbitrate a dispute by either party shall be given in
writing to the other at their last known address. Arbitration shall be commenced
by the filing by a party of an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”)
in its
office in Los Angeles, California USA. The arbitration and resolution of the
dispute shall be resolved by a single arbitrator appointed by the AAA pursuant
to AAA rules. The arbitration shall in all respects be governed and conducted
by
applicable AAA rules, and any award and/or decision shall be conclusive and
binding on the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles,
California USA. The arbitrator shall supply a written opinion supporting any
award, and judgment may be entered on the award in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Each party shall pay its own fees and expenses for the
arbitration, except that any costs and charges imposed by the AAA and any fees
of the arbitrator for his services shall be assessed against the losing party
by
the arbitrator. In the event that preliminary or permanent injunctive relief
is
necessary or desirable in order to prevent a party from acting contrary to
this
Agreement or to prevent irreparable harm prior to a confirmation of an
arbitration award, then either party is authorized and entitled to commence
a
lawsuit solely to obtain equitable relief against the other pending the
completion of the arbitration in a court having jurisdiction over the parties.
All rights and remedies of the parties shall be cumulative and in addition
to
any other rights and remedies obtainable from arbitration.
