 THIS
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between Motricity, Inc., a company organized in the State of Delaware (the
“Company”), and the Participant specified above, pursuant to the Motricity, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee; and

 WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the
non-qualified stock option provided for herein to the Participant. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
and promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows: 

1. Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions
of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a
part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges
receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall
control. No part of the Option granted hereby is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. 

 2. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the
Grant Date specified above, a non-qualified stock option (this “Option”) to acquire from the Company at the Per Share Exercise Price specified above, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified above (the
“Option Shares”). Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential
future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company for any reason. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by this Option unless and until the Participant has become the
holder of record of the shares, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of any such shares, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement.

 3. Vesting and Expiration. 

(a) Vesting. The Option subject to this grant shall become vested and exercisable as to twenty-five percent (25%) on each of
the first four (4) anniversaries of the Grant Date specified above, provided the Participant is then employed by the Company and/or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (i.e., the Option will be 100% vested four (4) years following the
Grant Date if the Participant is then employed by the Company and/or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates). There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each vesting date and all vesting shall occur only on the
appropriate vesting date, subject to the Participant’s continued service with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on each applicable vesting date. 

(b) Effect of Termination for Cause. The provisions of Section 6.4(c) of the Plan regarding Termination for Cause shall apply
to the Option. 
 (c) Expiration. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan
and/or this Agreement, all portions of this Option (whether vested or not vested) shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”). 

4. Termination. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Participant’s Termination shall impact the
Option as follows: 
 (a) Termination due to Death, Disability or Retirement. In the event of the Participant’s
Termination by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, the vested portion of this Option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) one (1) year from the date of such Termination, and (ii) the expiration of the stated term
of the Option pursuant to Section 3 hereof; 
 (b) Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason. In the event of the
Participant’s Termination (i) by the Company without Cause, other than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement or (ii) by the Participant for Good Reason, the vested portion of this Option shall remain exercisable until
the earlier of (I) ninety (90) days from the date of such Termination, and (II) the expiration of the stated term of the Option pursuant to Section 3 hereof. 

 

 2 

 (c) Termination for Cause. In the event of the Participant’s Termination
(i) by the Company for Cause or (ii) by the Participant after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination for Cause, then the Option granted hereunder (whether or not vested) shall terminate and expire upon such
Termination. Furthermore, in the event that the Participant engages in behavior that would result in a Termination for Cause during the twenty-four (24) month period commencing on the date that the Option is exercised or becomes vested, the
Company shall be entitled to recover from the Participant at any time within twenty-four (24) months after such exercise or vesting, and the Participant shall pay over to the Company, an amount equal to any gain realized as a result of the
exercise (whether at the time of exercise or thereafter). 
 (d) Voluntary Termination. In the event of the
Participant’s Termination by the Participant for any reason (other than Good Reason or after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination for Cause, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), the vested
portion of this Option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (I) thirty (30) days from the date of such Termination, and (II) the expiration of the stated term of the Option pursuant to Section 3 hereof. 

(e) Treatment of Unvested Option upon Termination. Any portion of this Option that is not vested as of the date of the
Participant’s Termination shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination. 
 5. Method of Exercise and
Payment. 
 (a) Method. Subject to Section 9, to the extent that the Option has become vested and exercisable
with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock as provided herein, the Option may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Option as provided herein and in
accordance with Sections 6.4(c) and 6.4(d) of the Plan, by the filing of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and payment in full of the Per Share Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
underlying the portion of the Option exercised. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until payment therefor, as provided herein, has been made or provided for. 

(b) Condition of Exercise. As a condition of exercise, the Participant shall be required to certify, in a manner and a form
acceptable to the Company, in its sole discretion, that the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and that the Participant has not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, any behavior that would result in a
Termination for Cause (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), as applicable. 
 6. Executive Ownership
Representation; Restrictions. The Participant hereby agrees (i) to own, within five (5) years of the Grant Date, shares of Common Stock equal in value to at least one and one-half times (1.5x) the Participant’s annual
base salary (determined as of the last day of the fifth year following the Grant Date); and (ii) that the Participant shall not be permitted to pledge shares of Common Stock or any equity award denominated in shares of the Company’s
capital stock as collateral for investment purposes or otherwise. For purposes of this section, ownership shall include all shares of Common Stock deemed “beneficially owned” 

 

 3 

 (as defined in Rule 13d-3(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 without regard to vesting) by the
Participant, shares transferred for estate planning purposes or pursuant to a court order. Compliance will be evaluated on a twice-per-year basis, as of June 30 and December 31 of each year, and not on a running basis. Failure of the
Participant to achieve the ownership guidelines within the timelines hereunder will result, in the sole discretion of the Committee, with forfeiture of this Option; provided, however, this Section 6 shall not apply if the Participant is no
longer an active employee of the Company. When calculating the number of shares of Common Stock that an executive is required to hold hereunder, the Participant’s base salary will be multiplied by 1.5 and then divided by the average closing
price for shares of Common Stock over the thirty (30) trading days prior to the date of calculation as set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall be permitted to sell or dispose of the necessary number of shares of
Common Stock to pay any state, federal or local tax withholdings arising solely from the exercise of stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock or vesting of restricted shares of Common Stock, if any. 

7. Non-transferability. The Option, and any rights and interests with respect thereto, issued under this Agreement and the
Plan shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Participant), other than by testamentary disposition by the Participant or the laws of descent and
distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit the Option to be Transferred to a Family Member for no value, provided that such Transfer shall only be valid upon execution of a written instrument in
form and substance acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion evidencing such Transfer and the transferee’s acceptance thereof signed by the Participant and the transferee, and provided, further, that the Option may not be subsequently
Transferred otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or to another Family Member (as permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion) in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, and shall remain subject to
the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. Any attempt to sell, exchange, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of or hypothecate in any way the Option, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar legal process upon the
Option, contrary to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and/or the Plan shall be null and void and without legal force or effect. Further, any shares of Common Stock acquired by a permissible transferee (i) upon the exercise of the
Option by a permissible transferee or (ii) pursuant to a Transfer after the exercise of the Option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. 

8. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice of law principles thereof. 

9. Withholding of Tax. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to
remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary
to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Option and, if the Participant fails to do so, the Company may otherwise refuse to issue or transfer any shares of Common
Stock otherwise required to be 
  

 4 

 issued pursuant to this Agreement. Any statutorily required withholding obligation with regard to the
Participant may be satisfied by reducing the amount of cash or shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Option. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock required to satisfy such tax obligations shall be disregarded and the
amount due shall be paid instead in cash by the Participant. 
 10. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement,
together with the Plan, contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior agreements or prior understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties relating
to such subject matter. The Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or amend this Agreement from time to time in accordance with and as provided in the Plan. This Agreement may also be modified or amended by a writing
signed by both the Company and the Participant. The Company shall give written notice to the Participant of any such modification or amendment of this Agreement as soon as practicable after the adoption thereof. 

11. Notices. Any notice hereunder by the Participant shall be given to the Company in writing and such notice shall be
deemed duly given only upon receipt thereof by the General Counsel of the Company. Any notice hereunder by the Company shall be given to the Participant in writing and such notice shall be deemed duly given only upon receipt thereof at such address
as the Participant may have on file with the Company. 
 12. No Right to Employment. Any questions as to whether
and when there has been a Termination and the cause of such Termination shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its
Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time, for any reason and with or without Cause. 

13. Transfer of Personal Data. The Participant authorizes, agrees and unambiguously consents to the transmission by
the Company (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate) of any personal data information related to the Option awarded under this Agreement for legitimate business purposes (including, without limitation, the administration of the Plan). This authorization and
consent is freely given by the Participant. 
 14. Compliance with Laws. The issuance of this Option (and the
Shares upon exercise of this Option) pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to, and shall comply with, any applicable requirements of any foreign and U.S. federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation,
the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the 1934 Act and in each case any respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and any other law or regulation applicable thereto. The Company shall not be obligated to issue this
Option or any of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement if any such issuance would violate any such requirements. 
 15.
Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Plan to the contrary, the Option is intended to be exempt from the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in
accordance with such intent. 
  

 5 

 16. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of, be binding upon, and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns. The Participant shall not assign (except as provided by Section 7 hereof) any part of this Agreement without the prior express written consent of the
Company. 
 17. Headings. The titles and headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement. 
 18. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

19. Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform (or shall cause to be done and performed) all such further
acts and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as either party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the Plan and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder. Specifically, as a condition to the receipt of shares of Common Stock pursuant to exercise of this Option, the Participant shall execute and deliver a stockholder’s agreement or such
other documentation that shall set forth certain restrictions on transferability of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise or purchase, and such other terms as the Board or Committee shall from time to time establish, for any such time
prior to the Company’s capital stock being registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and listed for trading on a national securities exchange. 

20. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not
affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 21. Acquired
Rights. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the award of the Option made under this Agreement is completely independent of any other award or grant and is made at the sole discretion of the Company; (b) no past grants
or awards (including, without limitation, the Option awarded hereunder) give the Participant any right to any grants or awards in the future whatsoever; and (c) any benefits granted under this Agreement are not part of the Participant’s
ordinary salary, and shall not be considered as part of such salary in the event of severance, redundancy or resignation.
