All terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution hereof, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity of the merger (the “Merger”) and becoming a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 21,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Glu Mobile Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and such common stock, “Company Common Stock”, and all such shares, together with any shares of Company Common Stock or other voting equity securities of the Company that are hereafter issued to or otherwise directly or indirectly acquired or beneficially owned by Stockholder prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, being referred to herein as the “Subject Shares”); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, and as an inducement and in consideration for Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, Stockholder has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Vote and Approve. Stockholder agrees that it shall, and shall cause any other holder of record of any Subject Shares to, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting) or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval of the stockholders of the Company is sought (a) when a meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum; and (b) vote (or cause to be voted, including by proxy or by delivering a written consent) the Subject Shares (i) in favor of (A) the adoption of the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Proposal”) and (B) any proposal to adjourn or postpone any such meeting of stockholders of the Company to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Proposal; and (ii) against any other proposal, action or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in any material respect. Stockholder agrees to waive, and to not exercise, any appraisal rights that may be available under Delaware law with respect to the Merger. Any attempt by Stockholder to vote, consent or express dissent with respect to (or otherwise to utilize the voting power of), the Subject Shares in contravention of this Section 1 shall be null and void ab initio. Except as set forth in this Section 1, Stockholder shall not be restricted from voting in favor of, against or abstaining with respect to any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company.


2. No Transfer. Except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that during the term of this Agreement, Stockholder will not (a) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign, tender, exchange, hedge, short sell or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) any of the Subject Shares, (b) enter into any legally binding contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking providing for the Transfer of any Subject Shares, (c) deposit any of the Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the Subject Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement or (d) knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have the effect of materially preventing or disabling Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement. Any action taken in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void ab initio. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Subject Shares shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by Stockholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall, subject to applicable Law, take and hold the Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

3. No Solicitation. Stockholder agrees that it is a “Company Representative” for purposes of Section 4.4 of the Merger Agreement, and that Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, advisor, agent or other representative of Stockholder authorized by it to act on its behalf, take any action prohibited to be taken by a Company Representative by Section 4.4 of the Merger Agreement. Subject to Section 4.4 of the Merger Agreement, if, prior to the Effective Time, Stockholder receives any written Acquisition Proposal, then Stockholder will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent and the Company of the identity of the Person making and the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal (including a copy of any written Acquisition Proposal).

Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 4 shall relieve any party from liability for fraud or any breach of this Agreement prior to termination hereof; and provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 4 and Sections 6 through 15 hereof, inclusive, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
