The parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. The Acquisition.

1.1 Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, (a) Seller shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Marks, all registrations of the Marks, the goodwill associated with and symbolized by the Marks and the U.S. intent-to-use trademark application for “Xxxx Xxxxxx” together with that portion of Seller’s business symbolized by the proposed “Xxxx Xxxxxx” xxxx, and the domain names listed on Schedule 1.1 (collectively, the “IP”); and (b) Seller further hereby assigns, transfers, conveys, and grants to Buyer all rights of action at law and suits in equity to recover for past infringements of the IP currently known to and/or being prosecuted by Seller as of the date hereof or that may become known after the date of this Agreement. By this Agreement, Seller shall irrevocably transfer and assign over to Buyer worldwide ownership of the Marks (as defined herein) that consist of or incorporate “Xxxx” or “Applause” and the designs used in connection therewith, whether registered or common law, and regardless of whether the Marks are currently registered in Seller’s name or the name of another affiliated entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no representation or warranty (express or implied) is made by Seller with respect to any domain names or the intent-to-use trademark application for “Xxxx Xxxxxx” included in the IP, and Seller shall have no liability or other obligation with respect thereto other than to transfer such rights, if any, as Seller may have therein to Buyer as part of the IP.

In the event that Seller, subsequent to the Closing, identifies any trademarks owned by Seller that are not included in Schedule I, that should have been transferred to Buyer, Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer within fourteen days of identifying such marks, specifying the marks, the goods in connection with which they are used, and any registrations or applications therefor, and shall take all actions and execute additional documents as Buyer may reasonably request to transfer the identified marks to Buyer. In performing its obligation under this Section 2.4, Seller shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expense not reimbursed by Buyer or to subject itself to liability or other obligation.

To the best of Pledgor’s knowledge, and based in part upon the representations of the Secured Party in connection with the Acquisition Agreement: (a) Pledgor has good title to all its Pledged Collateral, and none of such property is subject to any Lien, claim, option or right of others, except for the security interest granted to the Secured Party; and (b) no person other than the Secured Party has control or possession of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, except as permitted by the Acquisition Agreement.

Section 4.03 Perfected First Priority Security Interest. This Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Secured Party, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof. When this Agreement is filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and all filings under Section 2.02(a) of this Agreement are filed, this Agreement shall constitute, and will at all times that it continues in force constitute, a fully perfected First Priority Lien on, and security interest in, all rights, title and interest of the Pledgor in the Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Note.

Section 4.04 No Transfer of Pledged Collateral.

Section 4.05 Claims Against Pledged Collateral. The Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Pledged Collateral and the First Priority security interest and Lien granted to the Secured Party with respect thereto against all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming any interest therein materially adverse to the Secured Party. Except as expressly permitted by the Acquisition Agreement, there is no agreement, order, judgment or decree, and the Pledgor shall enter into any agreement or take any other action, that could restrict the transferability of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise impair or conflict with the Pledgor’s obligations or the rights of the Secured Party hereunder.

Section 4.06 Other Financing Statements. The Pledgor has not executed, filed, nor authorized any third party to file any financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Pledged Collateral in any recording office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement. No financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement.

No Pledgor shall execute, authorize or permit to be filed in any recording office any financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Pledged Collateral.

Section 4.07 Approvals. In the event that the Secured Party desires to exercise any remedies or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Agreement and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other person therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Secured Party, the Pledgor agrees to assist the Secured Party in obtaining as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers.

Section 4.08 Pledged Collateral Information. All information set forth herein, including the schedules annexed hereto, and all information contained in any documents, schedules and lists heretofore delivered to the Secured Party, in connection with this Agreement, in each case, relating to the Pledged Collateral, is accurate and complete in all material respects.

Article V

Pledged Collateral

Section 5.01 Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Secured Party, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Article VI hereof at such time as the Secured Party shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, the Pledgor hereby grants to the Secured Party, to the extent of the Pledgor's rights and effective only during the continuance of an Event of Default, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use and sublicense any of the Trademarks then owned by or licensed to the Pledgor. Such license shall include access to all devices, products and media in which any of the Trademarks are embodied, embedded, recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof.

Section 5.02 Dealing With Intellectual Property. On a continuing basis, the Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense,

(a) promptly following its becoming aware thereof, notify the Secured Party of any adverse determination in any proceeding or the institution of any proceeding in any federal, state or local court or administrative body or in the United States Patent and Trademark Office regarding the Pledgor's claim of ownership in or right to use any of the Trademarks, the Pledgor's right to register such Trademark or its right to keep and maintain such registration in full force and effect,

(b) maintain and protect the Trademarks for use,

(c) not permit to lapse or become abandoned any Trademarks, and not settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to such Trademark, in each case except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment,

(d) upon the Pledgor obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the Secured Party in writing of any event which may be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the value or utility of any of the Trademarks, the ability of the Pledgor or the Secured Party to dispose of the Trademarks or any portion thereof or the rights and remedies of the Secured Party in relation thereto including a levy or threat of levy or any legal process against the Trademarks or any portion thereof,

(e) not license the Trademarks other than licenses entered into by the Pledgor in, or incidental to, the ordinary course of business, or amend or permit the amendment of any of the licenses, in any such case in a manner that could materially impair in the reasonable judgment of the Pledgor, the Lien on and security interest in the Trademarks created therein hereby or the exercise of remedies by the secured party hereunder, without the consent of the Secured Party, and

(f) diligently keep adequate records respecting the Trademarks.

Section 5.03 Intellectual Property Litigation. Unless there shall occur and be continuing any Event of Default, the Pledgor shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party in interest, for its own benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgor, such applications for protection of the Trademarks and suits, proceedings or other actions to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value or other damage as are necessary to protect the Trademarks. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Secured Party shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Trademarks and/or bring suit in the name of the Pledgor, the Secured Party to enforce the Trademarks and any license thereunder. In the event of such suit, the Pledgor shall, at the reasonable request of the Secured Party, do any and all commercially reasonable acts/lawful acts and execute any and all documents reasonably requested by the Secured Party in aid of such enforcement and the Pledgor shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Secured Party for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in the exercise of its rights under this Section 5.03 in accordance with Section 7.07. In the event that the Secured Party shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the Trademarks as permitted by this Section 5.03 and an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor agrees, at the reasonable request of the Secured Party, to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value of or other damage to any of the Trademarks by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any suit, proceeding or other action against any person so infringing necessary to prevent such infringement.

Article VI

Remedies

Section 6.01 Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Secured Party may exercise, without any other notice to or demand upon the Pledgor, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or in the Acquisition Agreement or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Pledged Collateral) and also may:

(1) without notice except as specified below, sell, resell, assign and deliver or grant a license to use or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable; and

(2) exercise any and all rights and remedies of the Pledgor under or in connection with the Pledged Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, including without limitation, the exercise any and all rights with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. At any sale of the Pledged Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the obligations under the Note as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. The Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Pledged Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Pledged Collateral and any other security for the Note or otherwise. The Secured Party shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action with regard thereto. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefore, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) Upon the written demand of the Secured Party, the Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Secured Party an assignment or assignments of any or all of the Trademarks and such other documents and take such other actions as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. Within five Business Days of written notice thereafter from the Secured Party, the Pledgor shall make available to the Secured Party, to the extent within the Pledgor's power and authority, such personnel in the Pledgor's employ on the date of the Event of Default as the Secured Party may reasonably designate to permit the Pledgor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold by the Pledgor under the Trademarks, and such persons shall be available to perform their prior functions on the Secured Party's behalf.

Section 6.02 No Waiver and Exclusive Remedies. The Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.05), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure on the part of the Secured Party to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Secured Party in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Secured Party be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. The Secured Party’s rights and remedies provided herein, in the UCC and in the Note shall be its sole and exclusive remedies for any breach by the Pledgor of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 6.03 Application of Proceeds. Upon the exercise by the Secured Party of its remedies hereunder, any proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any realization upon any Pledged Collateral shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement. The Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral are insufficient to pay the Note and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Article VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.01 Performance By Secured Party. If the Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement after giving effect to all applicable grace periods (including covenants to pay insurance, taxes and claims arising by operation of law in respect of the Pledged Collateral and to pay or perform any Pledgor obligations under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of the Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) during the existence of an Event of Default/following notice to the Pledgor of such failure to perform and such Pledgor's failure to remedy such failure within a commercially reasonable time period, do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may make payments for such purpose; provided, however, that the Secured Party shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which the Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which the Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Acquisition Agreement. Any and all amounts so paid by the Secured Party shall be reimbursed by the Pledgor in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.07. Neither the provisions of this Section 7.01 nor any action taken by the Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.01 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default.

Section 7.02 Power of Attorney. The Pledgor hereby appoints the Secured Party its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default in the Secured Party's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement which the Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (but the Secured Party shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to the Pledgor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. The Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

Section 7.03 Continuing Security Interest and Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (a) be binding upon the Pledgor, its successors and assigns and (b) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Party and each of its permitted successors, transferees and assigns and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons; provided that, the Pledgor shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Secured Party and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (b), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Acquisition Agreement.

In the event that: (i) the Secured Party shall assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any third party other than as security for indebtedness; (ii) the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement shall be transferred to any third party other than as security for indebtedness; (iii) the Secured Party commences any case, proceeding or other action relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to the Secured Party, or seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, or (iv) the Secured Party seeks appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, the Secured Party shall notify the Pledgor of the event within seven (7) days of its occurrence. Pledgor shall then have the right within 60 days of such event to pay the remaining balance under the Note and thereby terminate any further obligations under the Note or this Agreement. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the schedule of payments under the Note or the Pledgor’s right to prepay its obligations thereunder.

Section 7.04 Termination and Release.

(a) At such time as the Note shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations in which no claim has been made or is reasonably foreseeable), the Pledged Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Secured Party and the Pledgor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or any further action by any party, and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor. At the request and sole expense of the Pledgor following any such termination, the Secured Party shall deliver to the Pledgor any Pledged Collateral held by the Secured Party hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Pledgor such documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(b) If any of the Pledged Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Pledgor in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, then the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement in such Pledged Collateral shall be released, and the Secured Party, at the request and sole expense of the Pledgor, shall execute and deliver to the Pledgor all releases and other documents reasonably necessary or advisable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Pledged Collateral; provided that the Pledgor shall provide to the Secured Party evidence of such transaction's compliance with this Agreement as the Secured Party shall reasonably request.

Section 7.05 Modification in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived, and no consent to any departure by the Pledgor therefrom shall be effective, except by a written instrument signed by the Secured Party in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement. Any amendment, modification or supplement of any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by the Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

Section 7.06 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement.

Section 7.07 Indemnity and Expenses.

(a) The Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Secured Party (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) from any losses, damages, liabilities, claims and related expenses (including the fees and expenses of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees, expenses and time charges for attorneys who are employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Pledgor) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement) or any failure of the Note to be the legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Pledgor enforceable against the Pledgor in accordance with their terms, whether brought by a third party or by the Pledgor, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii) result from a claim brought by the Pledgor against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder, if the Pledgor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor hereby agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) The Pledgor agrees to pay or reimburse the Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against the Pledgor its obligations under the Note or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement, including the fees and other charges of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of internal counsel) to the Secured Party.

(d) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly/not later than ten days after demand therefor, shall constitute obligations under this Agreement and shall bear interest until paid at a rate per annum equal to 3% per annum above the Base Rate announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A., but not in excess of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Pledgor under this Agreement, the agreements and obligations of the Pledgor contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Note and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.

Section 7.08 Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey. The other provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.9 of the Acquisition Agreement and Section 7.6 of the Note are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof.

Section 7.09 Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Secured Party and when the Secured Party shall have received counterparts hereof signed by each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 7.11 No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement, nor the exercise by the Secured Party of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve the Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Pledgor's part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or from any liability to any person in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Pledgor's part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of the Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Pledgor contained in this Agreement or the Acquisition Agreement, or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. The obligations of the Pledgor contained in this Section 7.11 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of the Pledgor's other obligations under this Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement.

Section 7.12 Obligations Absolute. The Pledgor hereby waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. All obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Note or any other agreement, including any increase in the Note;
