CONVERTIBLE SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE AND OPTION AGREEMENT

	  	
New Castle County, Delaware

	
U.S. $9,715,000.00

	
November 24, 2010

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Digital Domain Holdings Corporation, a Florida corporation (formerly known as Wyndcrest DD Florida, Inc., a Florida corporation) (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of PBC Digital Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PBC Digital Lender”), the aggregate principal amount of all PBC Digital Loans (as defined in the Loan Agreement) advanced by PBC Digital Lender to the Borrower from time to time in an amount of up to but not exceeding Nine Million Seven Hundred Fifteen Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($9,715,000.00), together with interest accrued on the unpaid principal amount of this Convertible Secured Promissory Note and Option Agreement (the “Note”) plus all fees, expenses and other costs as provided for in that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, of even date herewith, among the Borrower, PBC Digital Lender, PBC MGPEF DDH, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Lydian Private Bank, a federal savings bank (as amended, restated, supplemented, or modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings and definitions set forth in the Loan Agreement. This Note is the PBC Digitial Convertible Note referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits and conditions of, the Loan Agreement. This Note supersedes, replaces, amends and restates in its entirety that certain prior Convertible Secured Promissory Note and Option Agreement dated September 30, 2010 (the “Prior Note”) between the Borrower and PBC Digital Lender. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Note and the Prior Note, the terms and conditions of this Note shall control and prevail. Upon execution of this Note by Borrower, PBC Digital Lender shall promptly deliver to Borrower the original signed Prior Note.

1.           Payment of Principal and Interest. The Borrower promises to pay principal and interest on all amounts due and owing hereunder and pursuant to the Loan Agreement from the date hereof until all such amounts due and owing are paid in full, payable at the interest rate and at the time(s) as set forth in the Loan Agreement. All payments of principal and interest made by the Borrower with respect to this Note shall be paid to PBC Digital Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as PBC Digital Lender shall so direct, or by check. All payments made with respect to this Note shall be made in United Stales Dollars.

  

  

 

 

2.           Prepayment.   This Note is subject to the prepayment provisions set forth in Section 2.03 of the Loan Agreement.

3.           Conversion Right.

(a)           Conversion. PBC Digital Lender has the right to convert (the “Conversion Right”), at its option, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, all or a portion of the unpaid amount of this Note into shares of common slock (the “Common Stock”‘) of the Borrower (the “Shares”) as described in this Section 3, at any time prior to the Termination Date. The number of Shares into which this Note is convertible is equal to the product of an amount equal to the number of Shares of the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below) on the date of conversion, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate unpaid amount of the Note being converted and the denominator of which is the sum of (y) One Hundred Million (100,000,000) plus (z) the aggregate unpaid amount of the Note being converted. For purposes of this Note, “Common Stock Deemed Outstanding” means, at any given time, the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding at such time, plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, regardless of whether such options are actually exercisable at such time, plus (c) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any other options (other than Options described in clause (b) above) or warrants actually outstanding at such time, plus (d) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of convertible securities actually outstanding at such time (treating as actually outstanding any convertible securities issuable upon exercise of options or warrants actually outstanding at such time), in each case, regardless of whether the options, warrants or convertible securities are actually exercisable at such time.

The Borrower represents that, for the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding and the number of Shares into which this Note is convertible shall be determined in accordance with the Capitalization Table attached as Exhibit A, which provides that, as of November 24, 2010, if PBC Digital Lender elected to convert this Note in full into Shares, upon such conversion PBC Digital Lender would be issued 2,471,491 Shares.

(b)           Method of Conversion. The Conversion Right shall be exercised by written notice from PBC Digital Lender to the Borrower (the “Conversion Notice”) stating PBC Digital Lender’s election to convert all or a portion of the amount due under this Note into Shares of Ihe Borrower and the amount so elected to convert The Borrower, as soon as practicable thereafter, shall amend its stock ledger and other corporate records to reflect the issuance of the Shares to PBC Digital Lender and shall deliver to PBC Digital Lender a certificate or certificates representing the number of Shares PBC Digital Lender is entitled following the conversion, together with a check payable to PBC Digital Lender for any fractional shares as required by Section 5(a) below. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, the converted Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. This Note, or such portion thereof, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been converted as of the close of business on the date the Conversion Notice is sent to the Borrower as provided herein, and PBC Digital Lender shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such converted Shares on the Borrower’s books and records as of the close of business on such dale (the “Conversion Date”)

4.           Purchase Option.

(a)           Option. If all or any portion of the PBC Digital Loans are prepaid (such prepaid amount shall be referred to herein as the “Prepaid Amount”) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and PBC Digital Lender has not exercised its Conversion Right as set forth in Section 3 hereof prior to the prepayment, PBC Digital Lender is hereby granted an option to purchase, exercisable on or before September 30, 2012 (the “Purchase Option”), such number of Shares equal to a percentage amount of the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding on the date of exercise of the Purchase Option, determined by dividing (i) the aggregate amount of the Prepaid Amount used to exercise the Purchase Option (the “Exercise Price”) by (ii) the sum of (y) One Hundred Million (100,000,000) plus (z) the aggregate amount of the Prepaid Amount used to exercise the Purchase Option, in consideration for the payment of the Exercise Price PBC Digital Lender shall have no obligation to exercise the Purchase Option.

(b)           Exercising the Purchase Option. The Purchase Option shall be exercised by written notice from PBC Digital Lender to the Borrower (the “Option Notice”) stating PBC Digital Lender’s election to purchase Shares, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares to be purchased.

(c)           Closing of the Purchase Option. The closing of the Purchase Option (the “Closing”) shall take place at a time selected by PBC Digital Lender, but no later than thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Option Notice by the Borrower. At the Closing, the Borrower and PBC Digital Lender shall execute a purchase agreement that shall contain substantially the same representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities as contained in that certain Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, by and between the Borrower and PBC Digital Lender. The Borrower shall amend its stock ledger and other corporate records to reflect the issuance of the Shares that are purchased pursuant to the Purchase Option (the “Purchased Shares”) to PBC Digital Lender and shall deliver to PBC Digital Lender a certificate or certificates representing the number of Purchased Shares PBC Digital Lender is entitled following the exercise of the Purchase Option, together with a check payable to PBC Digital Lender for any fractional shares as required by Section 5(a) below. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, the Purchased Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

5.           Certain Provisions Applicable to the Conversion Right and the Purchase Option.

(a)           No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares will be issued upon conversion of this Note or the exercise of the Purchase Option. In lieu of any fractional share to which PBC Digital Lender would otherwise be entitled, the Borrower will pay to PBC Digital Lender in cash any amount that would otherwise be converted into such fractional share or purchased by PBC Digital Lender.

6.           Late Charge. If any amounts due and owing under the PBC Digital Loans are not paid within five (5) Business Days of the date when due, the Borrower shall pay PBC Digital Lender a “late charge” in the amount of five percent (5%) of the amount of the payment that is past due.

 

7            Event of Default.

(b)           No failure on the part of PBC Digital Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 

13.         Assignment. This Note may be assigned in accordance with the assignment provisions set forth in the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that the right to principal of, and stated interest on this Note is not negotiable by endorsement of PBC Digital Lender or any assignee of PBC Digital Lender unless such endorsement is accompanied by the following actions of the Borrower:

  

4

(b)           The Registry shall reflect PBC Digital Holdings, LLC as the original holder of this Note, and shall reflect such subsequent transferee as the Borrower shall receive notice thereof, by deliver to it of a certified copy of the assignment of the Note duly executed by the then current holder thereof.

No indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be deemed to have been setoff or shall be setoff or compensated by all or part of any claim, cause of action, counterclaim or cross-claim, whether liquidated or unliquidated, which the Borrower may have or claim to have against PBC Digital Lender. Furthermore, in respect to the present indebtedness of, or any future indebtedness incurred by, the Borrower to PBC Digital Lender, the Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefits of any applicable law, regulation or procedure that substantially provides that, if (i) cross-demands for money have existed between persons at any point in time and (ii) neither demand was barred by the applicable statute of limitations and (iii) an action is thereafter commenced by one such person, then the other may assert in his answer the defense of payment in that the two demands are compensated so far as they equal each other, notwithstanding that an independent action asserting the claim would at the time of filing the answer be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

 

16.         Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Note. In the event of the loss, theft or destruction of this Note, upon PBC Digital Lender’s written request, accompanied by an indemnification and/or security reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or in the event of the mutilation of this Note, upon PBC Digital Lender’s surrender to the Borrower of the mutilated Note, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to PBC Digital Lender (or any party that PBC Digital Lender designates), as the case may be, a new promissory note in form and content identical to this Note in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

(d)          any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and based upon, attributable to or resulting from any Proceeding, whether commenced, or threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, relating to circumstances or events prior to the Closing Date; and

(e)          any and all notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, penalties and expenses, including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Expenses”) suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and incident to any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses with respect to which indemnification is provided hereunder (collectively, “Losses”).

8.2          Limitations on Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. The Company shall not have any liability under Section 8.1 (a) hereof unless the aggregate amount of Losses and Expenses to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties finally determined to arise thereunder based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct, without regard to any materiality qualifiers contained in the representations and warranties, exceeds $100,000 (the “Basket”) and, in such event, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay the entire amount of all such Losses and Expenses including those used to compute the Basket; provided that the Basket shall not apply with respect to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, Shareholder Claims or the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.8, 5.13 and 5.14 hereof.

8.3          Indemnification Procedures

(a)           In the event that any Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand (“Claim”) shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 8.1 hereof (regardless of the Basket), the indemnified party shall reasonably and promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party; provided that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have caused the damages for which the indemnifying party is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had the indemnified party given the indemnifying party prompt notice hereunder. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within five (5) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so, which notice shall acknowledge and agree that the indemnifying party is liable for the Losses arising from the Claim. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Claim. If the indemnified party defends any Claim, then the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the Expenses of defending such Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Claim. If the indemnifying party controls the defense of any such claim, (1) the indemnifying party shall obtain the prior written consent of the indemnified party before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the indemnified party or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the indemnified party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Claim, without prejudice, (2) the indemnifying party shall promptly inform the indemnified party of any settlement offers received and shall inform any third party claimant that any such settlement offers shall and must be shared with the Purchaser, and (3) if the indemnifying party receives a settlement offer for an amount less than the Cap (which the indemnified party is willing to accept) and the indemnifying party chooses not to accept such offer, then the Cap shall not apply to such claim.

  

22

  

(b)          After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the indemnifying party shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within 10 business days after the date of such notice.

(c)           The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

(d)           The Purchaser shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

8.4          Special Indemnification for Shareholder Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Company or any Subsidiary suffers or incurs any Expenses and Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from any Shareholder Claim or the failure of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 hereof or issues, or is deemed to issue, any Equity Security to any Person other than the Purchaser in connection with any Shareholder Claims (collectively, “Shareholder Claim Losses”), the Purchaser shall be issued, without delay, a warrant for Common Stock in form and substance substantially the same as the Common Warrant in an amount sufficient to negate the dilutive effect suffered by the Purchaser in connection with the Shareholder Claim Losses. The Company and the Purchaser agree that the intent of the foregoing provisions are to ensure that the Purchaser is held completely harmless from the effects of any Shareholder Claim Losses (whether as a result of diminution in value of the Company or its Subsidiaries, dilution of the amount of the Purchaser’s equity interest in the Company, dilution in value of the Purchaser’s equity interest in the Company, or otherwise) and the Company agrees that it shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to effect such intent.

8.5          Conduct No Waiver. No course of dealing on the part of the Purchaser (or any Affiliate thereof), nor any delay or failure on the part of the Purchaser to exercise any of its rights, shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Purchaser’s rights, powers and remedies.

ARTICLE IX
