NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company may, at its option, in lieu of making any cash payments to the Investor with respect to the two Interest Payment Dates occurring on January 1, 2009 and July 1, 2009, elect that the amount of any Interest due and payable on such dates be added to the principal amount then due under this Note. An election by the Company to pay the Interest on any Interest Payment Date by adding the amount of such payment to the Principal under this Note is hereafter referred to as a “PIK Election.” The Company shall provide written notice of a PIK Election to the Investor not less than five days prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such PIK Election relates.”
 
2.2  Amendment to Section 1. Section 1 of the Secured Note is hereby amended by adding the following language to the end of Section 1:
 
“If the Company makes any payments of principal due under the Note on October 23, 2008 up to an aggregate principal payment of FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000), an equivalent amount of principal shall automatically be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Mandalay Common Stock”) of Mandalay Media, Inc., the Company’s parent company, at a price per share equal to $2.67 (the “Conversion”).

2.6 Amendment to Section 6. The Secured Note is hereby amended by adding the following language to the end of Section 6:
