WHEREAS, the Purchasers are interested in making an investment in Digital Domain Media Group, Inc. (the “Company”).
WHEREAS, the Grantor wishes to give an incentive for the Purchasers to make such an investment in the Company.
WHEREAS, each Purchaser wishes to have the option to purchase from the Grantor, and the Grantor wishes to grant to each Purchaser the option to purchase from the Grantor, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, that aggregate number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name in column (3) on the Schedule of Purchasers, which aggregate number for all Purchasers shall be 203,636 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination, exchange or similar event and shall be referred to herein as the “Option Shares”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual benefits representations, warranties, conditions, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as set forth below.
ARTICLE I
GRANT OF OPTION TO PURCHASE OPTION SHARES
1.1 | Call Option. |
Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Grantor grants to each Purchaser an option (the “Call Option”), pursuant to which, if exercised by a Purchaser in its sole discretion at any time prior to the Call Option Termination Date (as defined below), the Grantor shall sell to such Purchaser any or all, as determined by such Purchaser, of the Option Shares set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name in column (3) on the Schedule of Purchasers for a purchase price per share of Common Stock of $4.25 (as adjusted herein and as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination, exchange or similar event) (the “Call Option Purchase Price”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, on each applicable Share Delivery Date (as defined below), the Grantor shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Purchaser that exercised a Call Option, and such Purchaser shall purchase and accept from the Grantor, free and clear of all Claims (as defined below) (other than any Claim created by such Purchaser), the applicable portion of the Option Shares set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name in column (3) on the Schedule of Purchasers (as set forth on the Call Option Notice).
1.2 | Mechanics of Exercise. |
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 4.3), each Purchaser may at any time and from time to time
exercise its Call Option for up to the aggregate of the number of Option Shares set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name in column (3) on the Schedule of Purchasers until the earlier of (i) the date that is ten (10) Trading Days after the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date on which all of the Option Shares have been registered for resale for the benefit of the Purchasers under one or more registration statements of the Company which have been declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and (ii) the date that is eighteen (18) months from the date hereof (such earlier date, the “Call Option Termination Date”). Such Call Option may be exercised in whole or in part, by (x) delivery to the Grantor of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Call Option Notice”), of such Purchaser’s election to exercise a Call Option and (y) payment to the Grantor of an amount equal to the Call Option Purchaser Price multiplied by the applicable number of Option Shares as to which a Call Option is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day (as defined below) following the date on which the Grantor has received the Call Option Notice, the Grantor shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Call Option Notice to such Purchaser, the Company and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Grantor has received the Call Option Notice, so long as such Purchaser delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Grantor has received the applicable Call Option Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”) (provided, that if the Aggregate Exercise Price has not been delivered by such date, the Share Delivery Date shall be one (1) Trading Day after the Aggregate Exercise Price is delivered), the Grantor shall take all steps necessary to cause the applicable aggregate number of Option Shares to which such Purchaser is entitled pursuant to such exercise to be issued to the applicable Purchaser, in such Purchaser’s name, in certificate form and each such certificate may, if required by the Company, bear a legend as follows:
“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”) or applicable state law. The securities may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred, in whole or in part, except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state law.”
“Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded; provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York Time).

COVENANTS
4.1 | Delivery of Option Shares. |
On or prior to each applicable Share Delivery Date, the Grantor shall take all actions necessary to cause such aggregate number of Option Shares to which the applicable Purchaser is entitled pursuant to a Call Option to be issued to such Purchaser in certificate form and each such certificate may, if required by the Company, bear a legend substantially similar to the legend set forth in Section 1.2.
4.2 | Fees. |
Each party hereto shall pay its own legal fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.3 | Beneficial Ownership. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Grantor shall not effect the exercise of any Option Calls, and the Purchaser shall not have the right to exercise any Option Calls pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that immediately after giving effect to such exercise, such Purchaser (together with such Purchaser’s Affiliates (as defined below)) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Purchaser and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Call Option with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of any Call Option beneficially owned by such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Purchaser may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company by the Purchaser and its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Grantor, a Purchaser may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Grantor, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Purchaser and not to any other Purchaser. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4.3 to correct this
7
paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. As used herein, (i) “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person, it being understood for purposes of this definition that “control” of a Person means the power directly or indirectly either to vote 50% or more of the stock having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of such Person or direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person whether by contract or otherwise, and (ii) “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and a government or any department or agency thereof.
4.4 | Disposition of Option Shares. |
Each Purchaser covenants and agrees to sell, transfer or dispose of any Option Shares acquired by it in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
4.5 | Further Assurances. |
Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the party making such request shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by the other party in connection with complying with any such request.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
5.1 | Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. |
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

8

The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as, and the Grantor acknowledges that the Purchasers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and the Grantor will not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Grantor acknowledges that the Purchasers are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Grantor acknowledges and each Purchaser confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors.

11
specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of each Purchaser to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Grantor to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Grantor acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Grantor therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the each applicable Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to seek an injunction restraining any breach.
