based on category• Special interest verticals to drive premium

CPMs

professionals seeking low cost / high-quality, multi-media website solutions

Cash Flow Forecast

Estimated Cash on Hand ($000s)

As Forecast

Worst Case

• $2MM bridge loan takes company through April ’09 w/out any further financing

• C-round of at least $4MM expected by EOY; providing enough cash until company becomes cash-flow positive in December ‘09

• If monthly cash burn rate remains at average historical levels ($600k), additional funding beyond $2MM bridge loan will be required by December

• If monthly cash burn does not improve, $4MM raise in December will only carry the company through July ‘09

Estimated C round of at least $4MM

$2MM bridge financing

Deal Terms & Next Steps

• $1MM convertible note with 1 year to maturity

• Interest at 6% compounded annually

• Coverts at discount (20%) to next equity round

• MFN relative to all previous and next round of investors

• Seniority to all subsequent debt

Basic EquityTerms

AdditionalUpside

• SPT to have first right of negotiation for ad sales on Uber sites

• Option for SPE to run fan site / contest (or comparable promotion) for theatrical title or TV show

• Option for Crackle to be cross-promoted on Uber sites and Crackle content to be available in Uber’s search functionality

NextSteps

• Have agreed at high-level on non-binding term sheet

• Expecting to have final equity documents fully negotiated by the end of August

• Will follow-up with RAD once all material terms have been finalized and diligence completed

Potential Risks and Mitigations

Risks Mitigations

• Company thinly capitalized

• Fixed assets not sufficient to cover existing, senior debt ($600k)

• Site leverages user generated content and could be exposed to copyright violations

• Risks to be further evaluated by SPE Legal as part of due diligence

• As an investor and advisory board member, UMG provided early validation of Uber approach

• Minority investor status limits shareholder liability

• Continued support from financial and strategic investors

– UMG and Sterling Stamos re-upping• Superior terms to equity

– Note coverts at 20% discount to next round– Note senior to subsequent debt issuance

• In-kind value in addition to cash value– ROFN on ad sales– One free fan site / campaign– Ad inventory
