	 2004-25
	 	Dated: February 2, 2004

  
 Sonic Foundry, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, in exchange for services to be provided, Catapult PR-IR, LLC (“Holder”) is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company up to a total of
50,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $1.91 per share
(as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including February 2, 2007 (the “Expiration Date”), and subject to
the following terms and conditions: 
  
 1. Registration of Warrant on Books and
Records of the Company. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem
and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

  

 1 

 2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. 
  
 (a) The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the
Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at the office specified in or pursuant to Section 3(b). Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in
substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not
so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

  
 (b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder to
the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 3(b) for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder. Any such New Warrant will be dated
the date of such exchange. 
  
 3. Duration and Exercise of Warrants.

  
 (a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder on any
business day before 8:00 P.M., New York City time, at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 8:00 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised
prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise redeem this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Holder. 
  
 (b) Subject to Sections 2(b), 6 and 10, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of
Election to Purchase attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 13 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase
hereunder, in the manner provided hereunder, all as specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 3 business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue or cause to
be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends except (i) either in
the event that a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective or the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant
to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (ii) if this Warrant shall have been issued pursuant to a written agreement between the original Holder and the Company, as required by such
agreement. Any person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant. 
  

 2 

 A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant
(or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so
indicated by the holder hereof to be purchased. 
  
 This Warrant
shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant. 
  
 4. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than
that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof. 
  
 5. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
such loss, theft or destruction and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to it. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable charges as
the Company may prescribe. 
  
 6. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The
Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided,
the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the
adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that shall be so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly
and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. 
  

 3 

 7. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are
subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 8. Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 8, the Holder shall thereafter prior to the Expiration Date be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise
Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. 
  
 (a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) shall pay a stock dividend (except scheduled dividends paid on outstanding preferred stock as of the date hereof which contain a stated dividend
rate) or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or on any other class of capital stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or
(iii) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any)
outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination, and shall apply to
successive subdivisions and combinations. 
  
 (b) In case of any reclassification
of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
converted into other securities, cash or property, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant only into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common
Stock following such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property equal to the amount of Warrant Shares such Holder would
have been entitled to had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. The terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall
include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 9(b) upon any exercise following any such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange.

  
 (c) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall
distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to holders of this Warrant) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in Sections 8(a), (b) and (d)), then
in each such case the Exercise Price shall be 
  

 4 

 determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Exercise Price determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Exercise Price on such record date less
the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Company’s independent certified public accountants
that regularly examines the financial statements of the Company (an “Appraiser”). 
  
 (d) In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company (on a book value basis) in one or a series of
related transactions, or (3) tender or other offer or exchange (whether by the Company or another Person) pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, stock, cash or property of the
Company or another Person; then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to (A) exercise this Warrant for the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such
merger, consolidation or sale, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the Common Stock for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately
prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled, (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation, (x) require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a warrant entitling the Holder to acquire shares of such entity’s
common stock, which warrant shall have terms identical (including with respect to exercise) to the terms of this Warrant and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Warrant was
issued (including, without limitation, as such rights relate to the acquisition, transferability, registration and listing of such shares of stock other securities issuable upon exercise thereof), or (C) in the event of an exchange or tender offer
or other transaction contemplated by clause (3) of this Section, tender or exchange this Warrant for such securities, stock, cash and other property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock that have tendered or exchanged
their shares of Common Stock following such tender or exchange, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such exchange or tender to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant could have
been exercised immediately prior to such tender or exchange would have been entitled as would have been issued. In the case of clause (B), the exercise price applicable for the newly issued warrant shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash
and property that each shares of Common Stock would receive in such transaction and the Exercise Price immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale, consolidation, tender or exchange
shall include such terms so as continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive
such events. 
  

 5 

 (e) For the purposes of this Section 8, the following clauses shall also be applicable: 
  
 (i) Record Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or in securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, or (B) to subscribe for or purchase
Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of
such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be. 
  
 (ii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock. 
  
 (f) No adjustments in the Exercise Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $0.01; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section
8 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. 

 
 (g) Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 8(c) above, the Holder,
after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a nationally recognized accounting firm), in which case the adjustment shall be equal to the average of the adjustments
recommended by each of the Appraiser and such appraiser. The Holder shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to the Company, a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring
such adjustment. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above. 
  
 (i) If: 
  

	 	(i)	 	the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 	the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or 

  

 6 

	 	(iii)	 	the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any
rights; or 

  

	 	(iv)	 	the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a
party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or 

  

	 	(v)	 	the Company shall authorize the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, 

  
 then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at their last addresses as they
shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 30 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on
which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares
of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; provided, however, that the failure to mail
such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. 
  
 10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds. 
  
 11. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be
issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on
exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied
by such fraction. 
  

 7 

 12. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section prior to 8:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a business

 13. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon
thirty (30) days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any
new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without
any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder hereby 
  

 8 

 irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by receiving a copy thereof sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it under this instrument and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. 
  
 (d) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. 
  
 (e) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable

on said dates (subject, in the case of such financial statements as at March 31, 2003, to normal audit adjustments and, in the case of each of such financial statements, to adjustments of goodwill and amortization of intangible assets all as
described by MCC to the Lenders in connection with Amendment No. 1 hereto) all in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied on a consistent basis.”

         Section 3. Waiver of Event of

complete on the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such
specific date), and as if each reference in said Article III to “this Agreement” included reference to this Amendment No. 1 and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
