Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Earnout Payment may be earned if the Surviving Corporation achieves the applicable Revenue Performance Level within six (6) months following the Target Date. As used herein, “Revenue” shall mean the sum of (x) the consolidated revenue of the Company beginning on May 1, 2005 and  (y) the number of monthly Broadcaster unique visitors, as measured by Google Analytics multiplied by one dollar ($1.00).

For example, if the Surviving Corporation does not achieve Revenue of $20 million as of June 30, 2006 but does achieve Revenue of $20 million prior to December 31, 2006 (six months following the first Target Date), the Company Stockholders will be entitled to receive the Earnout Payment for the first Earnout Measurement Period within 30 days of December 31, 2006. If the Surviving Corporation does not achieve Revenue of $20 million by December 31, 2006, but does achieve Revenue of $40 million as of September 30, 2007 (six months following the second Tar get Date), the Company Stockholders will be entitled to receive the Earnout Payment for each of the first two Earnout Measurement Periods within 30 days of September 30, 2007.

3.

In all other respects, the Merger Agreement is ratified and confirmed.
