as may be updated from time to time (the “Articles of Association”), and the guidelines, policies and procedures of
the Company approved from time to time by the Board.

 

	 	5.	NO BREACH OF CONTRACT

 

The Executive
shall use his/her best efforts to perform his/her duties hereunder. The Executive shall not, without prior consent of the Board,

with such details and particulars as the Company may reasonably require. The Company shall have the right to require the Executive
to resign from any board or similar body which he/she may then serve if the Board reasonably determines in writing that the Executive’s
service on such board or body interferes with the effective discharge of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company
or that any business related to such service is then in competition with any business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

 

    

     

    

 

The Executive
hereby represents to the Company that: (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Executive and the performance by the
Executive of the Executive’s duties hereunder shall not constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene, the terms of any other
agreement or policy to which the Executive is a party or otherwise bound, except for agreements that are required to be entered into by
and between the Executive and any member of the Group pursuant to applicable law of the jurisdiction where the Executive is based, if
any; (ii) the Executive has no information (including, without limitation, confidential information and trade secrets) relating to
any other person or entity which would prevent, or be violated by, the Executive entering into this Agreement or carrying out his/her
duties hereunder; and (iii) the Executive is not bound by any confidentiality, trade secret or similar agreement (other than this)
with any other person or entity except for other member(s) of the Group, as the case may be.

The cash compensation may be paid by the Company, a subsidiary or affiliated entity of the Company, or a combination thereof, as designated by the Company from time to time.

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES

 

Authorized
and Outstanding Capital Stock

 

The
following description of Cinedigm Corp.’s common stock and provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws are summaries
and are qualified by reference to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which have been incorporated by reference as exhibits
to the Annual Report on Form 10-K to which this Description of Securities is an exhibit.

 

Our
authorized capital stock consists of 275,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A common
stock”), and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 20 shares are authorized as Series A 10%
Non-Voting Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).

 

As
of March 31, 2022, there were 175,313,584 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, and 7 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding.

 

Description
of Common Stock

 

Voting
Rights. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders.

 

Holders
of a majority of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock present or represented by proxy at any meeting of our stockholders constitute
a quorum.

 

Dividends;
Liquidation; Preemptive Rights. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends only if, as and when declared by
our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, holders
of Class A common stock are entitled, subject to any priorities due to any holders of our preferred stock, ratably to share in all assets
remaining after payment of our liabilities. Holders of Class A common stock have no preemptive rights nor any other rights to subscribe
for shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock.

 

Our
Class A common stock is traded on Nasdaq under the symbol “CIDM.”

 

Description
of Warrants

 

The
following table presents information on outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock as of March 31, 2022. All
of the outstanding warrants are fully vested and exercisable.

 

	 	 	Amount

 Outstanding	 	 	Expiration	 	Exercise Price

Per Share	 
	Warrants issued in connection with a term loan agreement	 	 	1,400,000	 	 	December 2022	 	$	1.80	 

 

Such
warrants provide for adjustment upon a stock split, stock dividend, or stock reclassification.

 

Preferred
Stock

 

Our
Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further stockholder approval, to issue from time
to time up to an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, in one or more series.  The Series A Preferred Stock
may be redeemed by the Company at any time after the second anniversary of the date such shares were issued in cash or, at the Company’s
option if certain conditions are met, in shares of Class A common stock.  The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled
to receive cumulative dividends from the date of issuance at an annual rate of 10% of the original issue price.  Such dividends
shall be payable in arrears in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of Class A common stock if certain conditions are met,
quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter, until such shares of Preferred Stock are redeemed.

 

     

     

    

 

Each
other series of preferred stock to be issued, if any, will have such number of shares, designations, preferences, powers and qualifications
and special or relative rights or privileges as will be determined by our board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend
rights, voting rights, redemption and sinking fund provisions, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.  The
rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to the rights of holders of any preferred stock outstanding and issued in the
future.  The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with the possible acquisitions
and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third
party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

 

Anti-Takeover
Effects of Delaware Law; Our Certificate of Incorporation and Our Bylaws

 

Delaware
law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging
another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover
practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first
negotiate with our Board.

 

No
Cumulative Voting.  Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation specifically
authorizes cumulative voting. Our Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not grant shareholders the right to vote
cumulatively.

 

Blank
Check Preferred Stock. We believe that the availability of the preferred stock under our Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides us with flexibility in addressing corporate issues that may arise. Having these authorized shares available for
issuance will allow us to issue shares of preferred stock without the expense and delay of a special stockholders’ meeting. The
authorized shares of preferred stock, as well as shares of Class A common stock, will be available for issuance without further action
by our stockholders, with the exception of any actions required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which our securities
may be listed. Our Board of Directors will have the power, subject to applicable law, to issue classes or series of preferred stock that
could, depending on the terms of the class or series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt.

 

Stockholder
Action by Written Consent. Our Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted
to be taken at any annual or special meeting of our stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote
if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of outstanding capital stock of having
not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize such action at a meeting at which all shares of capital stock entitled
to vote thereon were present and voted.
