AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO COMMERCIAL AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Commercial Agreement is entered
into by and among, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. a New York corporation with
a principal place of business at 85 Challenger Road, Ridgefield Park, NJ
(“Samsung”) on the one hand, and Nook Digital, LLC (formerly barnesandnoble.com
llc) (“Nook Digital”), a Delaware limited liability company, having a principal
place of business at 1166 Avenue of the Americas, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10036
(“Company”) on the other, effective as of the later of the signatures below (the
“Amendment Effective Date”). Unless expressly stated to the contrary herein, all
capitalized terms in this Amendment shall have the meaning ascribed to them in
the Agreement (as defined below).

Whereas, Nook Digital and Samsung entered into that certain Commercial Agreement
with an Effective Date of  June 4, 2014 (the “Agreement”); and

Whereas, Samsung and Nook Digital now wish to amend the Agreement;

Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and conditions herein,
and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Section 4.3. Section 4.3 is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety as
follows:

“4.3 Minimum Quantity Purchase Commitment. With respect to any Co-Branded Device
Launched after the Amendment Effective Date, Nook Digital shall purchase, within
twelve (12) months after any such Launch,  a total quantity of units (such
quantity to include any units of the Co-Branded Device purchased prior to
Launch) of such Co-Branded Device with a total retail value equal to Ten Million
Dollars ($10,000,000.00). In the event that Nook Digital does not satisfy the
foregoing minimum quantity purchase commitment for any reason other than
Samsung's failure or refusal to ship Co-Branded Devices ordered by Nook Digital,
Nook Digital shall pay the remaining balance with thirty days of written demand
by Samsung. For the avoidance of doubt, the minimum quantity purchase commitment
set forth in this Section 4.3 shall replace any prior commitments agreed upon by
the parties which are herewith considered null and void.”

2. Section 5.5. A new Section 5.5 is hereby added as follows:

“Section 5.5. Galaxy Tab A 7.0. It is understood and agreed that Nook Digital
shall Launch the Galaxy Tab A 7.0 Co-Branded Device on or before December 31,
2016.”

3. Section 9.1. The parties agree that the Agreement is hereby revised such that
the Term shall end on March 31, 2018.
