Schedule 3(e)

Exceptions to No Conflict Representation and Warranty

Pursuant to Section 4 of the Second Notes Amendment (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Company agreed to prepay the Notes on the dates and in the amounts set forth in Section 4 thereof. To the extent any prepayment of the Notes did not equal or exceed the “5% Minimum Requirement” (as defined in the Second Notes Amendment), such prepayment, in the absence of a waiver by each holder of the Notes regarding such optional prepayment on or prior to the date of prepayment, could be deemed a conflict under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with such prepayment. The Company’s representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety by reference to such conflict described herein and in Section 4(c) of the Second Notes Amendment and by any other breach of, or conflict with, the 5% Minimum Requirement.

In addition, pursuant to Section 9.9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to prepay the Notes with the Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) from the sale of the shares of capital stock of DG FastChannel, Inc. held by the Company in accordance with Section 8.9 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. To the extent any such prepayment does not equal or exceed the 5% Minimum Requirement (as defined in the Third Notes Amendment), such prepayment, in the absence of a waiver by each Noteholder regarding such optional prepayment on or prior to the date of prepayment, could be deemed a conflict under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with such prepayment. The Company’s representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety by reference to such conflict described in Section 4 of the Amendment. To the knowledge of the Company, the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with the prepayment of the Notes contemplated by Section 9.9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement would not result in the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, except with respect to Section 4.6(a)(i) thereof to the extent that a prepayment made pursuant to Section 9.9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement is deemed to constitute a conflict with the 5% Minimum Requirement set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
