Employment Agreement

 Exhibit 10.29 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered
into as of September 8, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), between Digital Music Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DMGI”), and Tuhin Roy, a resident of California (the “Executive”). 

In consideration of the promises and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Position and Duties. During the term of this Agreement, DMGI will employ Executive, and Executive will serve DMGI as its Chief Strategy
Officer. As such, Executive shall have such responsibilities, duties and authority as reasonably accorded to and expected of a Chief Strategy Officer. In addition, Executive shall be appointed President of Digital Rights Agency, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of DMGI (“Subsidiary”), and shall have such responsibilities, duties and authority as reasonably accorded to and expected of such. The responsibilities, duties and authority of Executive will include, among other things,
managing and growing the short-term digital distribution business of DMGI and Subsidiary and expansion of the sales channel outlets of DMGI and Subsidiary. Additional or different duties, titles or positions may from time to time be assigned to or
taken from Executive by the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors of DMGI, provided that any such changes are consistent and compatible with Executive’s experience, background and managerial skills; refer to Sections 7.5 and 8.4
hereof for additional rights of the Executive in the event of such a change in his title, duties or responsibilities. Executive will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of DMGI. 
 2. Performance of Duties. Executive will be based at and perform his duties under this Agreement primarily at the San Francisco offices of
DMGI. Executive hereby represents and warrants that he is free to enter into and fully perform this Agreement and the agreements referred to herein without breach of any agreement or contract to which he is a party or by which he is bound. Executive
hereby further represents and warrants that he has provided DMGI with copies of any employment, confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation agreements currently binding upon him. 
 3. Exclusive Service. Executive shall devote his full time and efforts (from a business perspective) exclusively to this employment and
apply all his skills, effort and experience to the performance of his duties and advancing DMGI’s interests. Executive shall not be engaged in any other business activity pursued for salary, fees, profit, gain or other pecuniary advantage if
such activity interferes with Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder. Executive will not engage in any professional consulting activity nor serve on any corporate boards except with the prior written approval of DMGI’s Board of
Directors, or at the direction of DMGI’s Board of Directors, and Executive will otherwise refrain from engaging in any activities inconsistent or in conflict with the performance of his duties hereunder. However, the foregoing limitations shall
not be construed as prohibiting Executive from making personal investments in a passive form or manner that will not require his services in the operation or affairs of the companies or enterprises in which such investments are made. 
 4. Compliance with Policies. DMGI has established policies, procedures and practices, and Executive will comply with and be bound by all
such policies, procedures and 

 
practices from time to time in effect during Executive’s employment. Executive will be employed in a position of leadership within DMGI and will be
expected to faithfully adhere to, execute and fulfill all corporate policies established by DMGI, now and in the future, in addition to monitoring compliance with such policies by other officers, employees and directors, particularly DMGI’s
Code of Business Conduct. 
 5. Confidential or Proprietary Information and Inventions. 
 5.1 Company Information. Executive agrees at all times during the term of his employment and thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence
and not to use, except for the benefit of DMGI, or to disclose to any person, firm or corporation (except within the scope of his employment) without written authorization of the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of Directors of DMGI,
any Confidential Information of DMGI. Executive understands that “Confidential Information” means any DMGI financial or operating information, contents of music libraries, data bases, technical data, trade secrets or know-how,
including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products and processes, services, customer lists, channel partner lists, target acquisition lists and customers, channel partners and target acquisitions (including, but not limited to,
customers, channel partners and target acquisitions of DMGI on whom Executive called or with whom Executive became acquainted during the term of his employment), market data, software, inventions, music processing techniques, formulas, technology,
designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, financial reports or other business information disclosed to Executive by DMGI or prepared by Executive during his employment by DMGI, either directly or indirectly, in
writing, orally, by drawings, or by observation of documents, technology or equipment. DMGI and Executive acknowledge that Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items which have become publicly known and made generally
available through no wrongful act of Executive’s or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved. 
 5.2 Third Party Information. Executive recognizes that DMGI has received and in the future will receive from third parties (including, but not limited to, vendors, customers, channel partners and acquisition targets) their
confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on DMGI’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Executive agree to hold all such confidential or proprietary
information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out his work for DMGI consistent with DMGI’s agreement with such third party. 
 5.3 No Prior Inventions. Executive represents that, as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, other than musical composition and sound
recording copyrights, he has no inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements or trade secrets which were made by him prior to his employment with DMGI, which relate to DMGI’s business, operations, digitization processes,
music library or research and development. 
 5.4 Future Inventions. DMGI shall own all right, title and interest (including
patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights, sui generis database rights and all other intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort) to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship,
mask works, designs, know-how, ideas and information 

 
made or conceived or reduced to practice, in the whole or in part, by Executive during the term of his employment with DMGI to and only to the fullest extent
allowed by California Labor Code Section 2870 (attached hereto as Exhibit A) (collectively referred to herein as “Inventions”). Executive agrees that he will promptly make full written disclosure to DMGI, will hold in trust for
the sole right and benefit of DMGI, and hereby assign to DMGI or its designee, all his right, title, and interest in and to any and all Inventions, except as provided in Section 5.7 below. To the extent allowed by law, this section includes all
right of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights” or the like. To the extent Executive retains any such moral rights under applicable law, Executive hereby
ratifies and consents to any action that may be taken with respect to such moral rights by or authorized by DMGI and agrees not to assert any moral rights with respect thereto. Executive will confirm any such ratifications, consents and agreements
from time to time as requested by DMGI. 
 5.5 Maintenance of Records. Executive agrees to keep and maintain adequate and
current written records of all Inventions made by him (solely or jointly with others) during the term of his employment with DMGI. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and any other format that may be specified by DMGI. The
records will be available to and remain the sole property of DMGI at all times. 
 5.6 Patent and Copyright Registrations.
Executive agrees to assist DMGI, or its designee, at DMGI’s expense, in every proper way to secure DMGI’s rights in any Inventions and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any
and all countries, including the disclosure to DMGI of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which DMGI shall reasonably deem
necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to DMGI, its successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask
work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Executive further agrees that his obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in his power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination
of this Agreement. If DMGI is unable because of his mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure his signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering
Inventions or original works of authorship assigned to DMGI as above, then Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints DMGI and its duly authorized officers and agents as his agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in his behalf and
stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the processing and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive.

 5.7 Exception to Assignments. Executive understands that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Inventions
to DMGI do not apply to any invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870. Executive will advise DMGI promptly in writing of any Inventions that Executive believes meet the criteria in California
Labor Code Section 2870. 

 6. Compensation and Benefits. 
 6.1 Base Salary. Beginning on the Effective Date, DMGI shall pay Executive a base salary of one hundred and thirty thousand dollars
($130,000) per year (“Base Salary”), payable as earned in accordance with DMGI’s customary payroll practice. On at least an annual basis, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will review Executive’s
performance and may make increases to such base salary if, in their sole discretion, any such increase is warranted. No reductions will be made to Executive’s base salary unless it is part of a company-wide expense reduction plan authorized by
the Board of Directors of DMGI, applying ratably to the base salaries of all executive officers and to the fees earned by directors; refer to Sections 7.5 and 8.4 hereof for additional rights of the Executive in the event of such a company-wide
reduction in base salaries. 
 6.2 Additional Benefits. Executive will be eligible to participate in DMGI’s employee
benefit plans of general application in effect from time to time, as amended, including without limitation, those plans covering pension and profit sharing, executive perquisites, stock purchases, and those plans covering life, health, and dental
insurance in accordance with the rules established for individual participation in any such plan and applicable law. Once Executive is eligible for health and dental insurance coverage hereunder, Executive’s spouse and dependents shall also be
eligible for such coverage in accordance with the terms of DMGI’s policies and plans and the contracts with third party providers. In addition, beginning on the Effective Date, Executive will receive such other benefits, including vacation,
holidays and sick leave, as DMGI generally provides to its Senior Executives. 
 6.3 Incentive Bonus Plan. Subject to the terms
of DMGI’s management incentive bonus plan, as amended from time to time (the “Bonus Plan”), Executive will be eligible to earn cash bonuses on an annual basis, payable as determined under the Bonus Plan, but not until such time
as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of DMGI determines the targets, milestones, performance objectives and measurement criteria to be met each fiscal year and approves the payment of specific cash bonuses after the end of each
fiscal year based upon the objective calculations and discretionary judgments as called for in the Bonus Plan. 
 6.4 Expenses.
DMGI will reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary travel and other expenses incurred by Executive in connection with DMGI’s business, provided that such expenses are in accordance with DMGI’s applicable expense reporting and
reimbursement policy and are properly documented and accounted for in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. 
 6.5 Vacation. Executive will be entitled to paid vacation as set forth in DMGI’s policies and/or employee manual (as they may be applicable to DMGI’s executive officers and key employees), as approved by the Board of
Directors. 
 7. Term and Termination. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue until the earlier
of two (2) years after the Effective Date or when terminated pursuant to any one of the following: 
 7.1 Death. The death
of Executive shall immediately terminate this Agreement. 
  

 7.2 Disability. If, as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury,
Executive shall have been absent from his full-time duties hereunder or unable to materially fulfill his full-time duties hereunder for three (3) consecutive months, then thirty (30) days after receiving written notice (which notice may
occur before or after the end of such three (3) month period, but which shall not be effective earlier than the last day of such three (3) month period), DMGI may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder provided Executive is unable
to resume his full-time duties at the conclusion of such notice period. Also, Executive may initiate termination of his employment under this Section 7.2 if his health should become impaired to an extent that makes the continued performance of
his duties hereunder hazardous to his physical or mental health, provided that Executive shall have furnished DMGI with a written statement from a qualified doctor to such effect and provided, further, that, at DMGI’s request made within ten
(10) days from the date of receipt of such written statement, Executive shall submit on a timely basis to an examination by a qualified doctor selected by DMGI who is acceptable to Executive or Executive’s doctor (such acceptability will
not be unreasonably withheld) and such doctor shall have concurred with the conclusion of Executive’s doctor. 
 7.3 For
Cause. DMGI may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for “cause,” which shall include: (a) Executive’s material and irreparable breach of this Agreement; (b) Executive’s gross negligence or
gross insubordination in the performance or intentional nonperformance (continuing for ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from DMGI of the need to cure) of any of Executive’s assigned duties and responsibilities hereunder;
(c) Executive’s willful dishonesty, fraud, misrepresentation or misconduct with respect to the business and affairs of DMGI which adversely affects the operations, reputation or business prospects of DMGI; (d) Executive’s
willful, reckless or grossly negligent violation of a material provision of DMGI’s Code of Business Conduct or other written corporate policy; (e) Executive’s willful or reckless violation of any federal, state or local law or
regulation applicable to DMGI’s business; (f) Executive’s conviction of any felony crime; (g) Executive entering a plea of nolo contendere to any crime involving any act of moral turpitude; or (h) chronic alcohol
abuse or illegal drug use by Executive (“Termination for Cause”). 
 7.4 Without Cause. This Agreement may be
terminated by DMGI thirty (30) days after the effective date of a written notice sent to Executive stating that DMGI is terminating his employment, without cause, which notice can be given by DMGI at any time after the Effective Date at
DMGI’s sole discretion, for any reason or for no reason (“Termination Without Cause”); provided that a Termination Without Cause must be approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of DMGI.

 7.5 For Good Reason. Executive may elect to terminate his employment with DMGI on the effective date of a written notice
sent to DMGI from Executive stating that he is terminating employment for “good reason,” which shall include: (a) Executive’s position with DMGI is changed in a manner which materially reduces his level of responsibility or
materially changes the overall nature of his duties and responsibilities or Executive is significantly demoted, in any case so as to no longer be serving in a Senior Executive capacity to DMGI, and the continuance thereof for a period of ten
(10) days after written notice from Executive that he is unwilling to accept such changes in duties or responsibilities; provided, however, that a reduction in position or responsibilities solely by virtue of DMGI being acquired and made part
of a larger entity (as, for example, when the Chief Strategy Officer remains as such following a change of 

 
control but is not made the Chief Strategy Officer of the acquiring corporation) will not constitute “good reason”; (b) Executive’s level
of compensation (including base salary, fringe benefits and participation in non-discretionary bonus programs under which awards are payable pursuant to objective financial or performance standards) is reduced by more than fifteen percent
(15%) at any one time or in the aggregate over any twenty-four (24) month period, without his consent; or (c) Executive is required to relocate his principal office of employment with DMGI outside of San Francisco, California without
his consent (“Termination for Good Reason”). 
 7.6 Voluntary. This Agreement may be terminated by Executive
on the effective date of a written notice sent to DMGI from Executive stating that Executive is electing to terminate his employment with DMGI without “good reason” as defined in Section 7.5 hereof (“Voluntary
Termination”). 
 8. Effect of Termination. 
 8.1 Termination as a Result of Death. In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, no severance
compensation is due to Executive’s estate. 
 8.2 Termination as a Result of Disability. In the event of any termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, Executive shall receive from DMGI in a lump-sum payment due within ten (10) business days of the effective date of termination, the base salary at the rate then in effect for whatever time
period is remaining under the term of this Agreement or for six (6) months, whichever amount is lesser. In the event of a disability termination pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, Executive will not be eligible to receive any ongoing benefits
subsequent to the effective date of termination nor will there be any proration of any potential annual incentive bonus under Section 6.3 hereof for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs. 
 8.3 Termination for Cause or Voluntary Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 7.3 or 7.6
hereof, DMGI shall pay Executive the compensation and benefits otherwise payable to Executive under Section 6 hereof through the date of termination, except that there will be no proration of any potential annual incentive bonus under
Section 6.3 hereof for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs. 
 8.4 Termination Without Cause or for Good
Reason. In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 7.4 or 7.5 hereof: 
 (a) DMGI shall pay Executive the
compensation and benefits otherwise payable to Executive under Section 6 through the date of termination; and 
 (b) for a period of
twelve (12) months after the effective date of termination, DMGI shall continue to pay Executive his base salary under Section 6.1 hereof at Executive’s then-current salary and maintain his benefits under Section 6.2 hereof. If
such benefits contemplated under Section 6.2 hereof cannot be maintained under the provisions and eligibility of the specific plans (see Section 8.5 below), then DMGI shall pay during the post-termination period the cash equivalent of the
benefit under any such plan. In addition, for the fiscal year of termination, DMGI shall pay the pro rata portion of the annual incentive bonus 

 
otherwise due to Executive pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof, such pro rata bonus amount to be determined at the sole discretion of the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors based upon the targets, milestones, performance objectives and measurement criteria established for the fiscal year and DMGI’s and Executive’s, as the case may be, actual performance against such
targets, milestones, performance objectives and measurement criteria. In all cases, post-termination payments to Executive will be reduced for applicable withholding taxes and will be payable on DMGI’s normal payroll dates during that period;
provided, that if the total amount of the benefits available to Executive under this Section 8.4, either alone or together with other payments which Executive has the right to receive from DMGI, would constitute a “parachute payment”
as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then DMGI shall pay to Executive at the time of termination an additional amount such that the net amount retained by Executive, after
deduction of the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code and any federal, state and local income tax and excise tax imposed on such additional amount, shall be equal to the amount payable to the Executive under this Section 8.4 as
originally determined prior to the deduction of the excise tax. 
 8.5 Rights under Stock Plan and Benefit Plans. In the event
of termination and the requirement for any benefits to be provided under this Section 8, Executive’s rights hereunder and under DMGI’s Stock Plan, which governs stock options and Restricted Stock awards, and all other benefit plans of
general application, including DMGI’s employee health and dental insurance coverage, shall be subject to and determined in accordance with the provisions and eligibility of those plans, the related award agreements and the provisions of
applicable law. 
 9. Return of DMGI Property. All records, documents, designs, patents, business plans, financial information,
manuals, correspondence, memoranda, data bases, lists and other property delivered to or compiled by Executive by or on behalf of DMGI or its representatives, vendors, customers, channel partners and acquisition targets which pertain to the business
of DMGI shall be and remain the property of DMGI and be subject at all times to its discretion and control. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, all such material which has been collected or accumulated by Executive shall
be delivered promptly to DMGI without request by it. 
 10. No Employee Solicitation. So long as Executive is an employee of
DMGI and for one (1) year thereafter, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either for himself or for any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce or attempt to induce any employee of DMGI to terminate his or his
employment with DMGI. 
 11. Miscellaneous. 
 11.1 Arbitration. Executive and DMGI agree that any unresolved dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement
or any alleged breach hereof shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration, provided, however, that DMGI retains its right to, and shall not be prohibited, limited or in any other way restricted from, seeking or obtaining equitable relief from
a court having jurisdiction over the parties. Any such arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Sacramento, California, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at that time. The
arbitrator(s) shall not have the authority to add to, detract from or modify any provision hereof nor to award punitive damages to any injured party. The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to order back- 

 
pay, severance compensation, vesting of options or other restricted equity awards (or cash compensation in lieu of vesting), reimbursement of costs,
including legal fees and other costs incurred to enforce this Agreement or to defend against charges brought hereunder, and interest thereon in the event the arbitrator(s) determines that DMGI has breached this Agreement. The arbitrator(s) shall
have the authority to order reimbursement of costs and any damages actually sustained by DMGI, including legal fees and other costs incurred to enforce this Agreement or to defend against charges brought hereunder, and interest thereon in the event
the arbitrator(s) determines that Executive has breached this Agreement. A decision by the arbitrator or a majority of the members of an arbitration panel (not to exceed three (3) arbitrators) shall be final and binding, and judgment upon the
determination or award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The direct expense of any arbitration proceeding shall initially be borne by DMGI, but the arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to reallocate
such cost among the parties upon conclusion of the proceedings. 
 11.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall
be found by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then the parties hereby waive such provision to the extent that it is found to be invalid or unenforceable and to the extent that to do so would not
deprive one of the parties of the substantial benefit of its bargain. Such provision shall, to the extent allowable by law and the preceding sentence, be modified by such arbitrator or court so that it becomes enforceable and, as modified, shall be
enforced as any other provision hereof, all the other provisions continuing in full force and effect. 
 11.3 Remedies. DMGI
and Executive acknowledge that the service to be provided by Executive is of a special, highly skilled, extraordinary and intellectual character, which gives it peculiar value the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in
damages in an action at law. Accordingly, Executive hereby consents and agrees that for any breach or violation by Executive of any of the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, Sections 3, 4, 5, 9 and 10 hereof, a restraining
order and/or injunction may be issued against Executive, in addition to any other rights and remedies DMGI may have, at law or equity, including without limitation the recovery of money damages. 
 11.4 No Waiver. The failure by either party at any time to require performance or compliance by the other of any of its obligations or
agreements shall in no way affect the right to require such performance or compliance at any time thereafter. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding
breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself. No waiver of any kind shall be effective or binding, unless it is in writing and is signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. 
 11.5 Assignment. This Agreement and all rights hereunder are personal to Executive and may not be transferred or assigned by Executive at
any time. DMGI may assign its rights, together with its obligations hereunder, to any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or successor, or in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its business and assets,
provided, however, that any such assignee assumes DMGI’s obligations hereunder. 

 11.6 Withholding. All sums payable to Executive hereunder shall be reduced by all federal,
state, local and other withholding and similar taxes and payments required by applicable law or by DMGI company policy and practice. 
 11.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire and only agreement between the parties relating to employment of Executive with DMGI, and this Agreement supersedes and cancels any and all previous contracts,
arrangements or understandings with respect thereto, whether verbal or in writing. 
 11.8 Amendment. This Agreement may not be
amended or modified, except by an agreement in writing executed by both parties hereto and approved by the Board of Directors of DMGI or its Compensation Committee. 
 11.9 Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and hand delivered, sent by telecopier, sent by certified first class mail, postage
pre-paid, or sent by nationally recognized express courier service. Such notices and other communications shall be effective upon receipt if hand delivered or sent by telecopier, five (5) days after mailing if sent by mail, and one (l) day
after dispatch if sent by express courier, to the following addresses, or such other addresses as any party shall notify the other party:

 (b) Beginning on the Effective Date and for the duration of the Non-Competition Period, Member shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of DMG, solicit, encourage or take any other action
which is intended to induce or encourage, or has the effect of inducing or encouraging, any employee of DMG or the Company or any of their subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment with the DMG or the Company or such subsidiary, for any
purpose. 
 (c) The covenants contained in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) hereof shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each
country, province, state, city or other political subdivision of the Restricted Area. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in Section 1(a) and
Section 1(b), respectively. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent
necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of this Section 1 are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such
provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws. 
 (d)
Member acknowledges that (i) the goodwill associated with the existing business, customers and assets of the Company prior to the Acquisition is an integral component of the value of the Company to DMG and is reflected in the portion of the
consideration issuable to Member, and (ii) Member’s agreement as set forth herein is necessary to preserve the value of the Company for DMG following the Acquisition. Member also acknowledges that the limitations of time, geography and
scope of activity agreed to in this Agreement are reasonable because, among other things: (A) the Company and DMG are engaged in a highly competitive industry, (B) Member has unique access to, and will continue to have access to, the trade
secrets and know-how of DMG and the Company, including, without limitation, the plans and strategy (and, in particular, the competitive strategy) of DMG and the Company, (C) Member is receiving significant consideration in connection with the
Acquisition, and (D) in the event Member’s employment with DMG ended, Member would be able to obtain suitable and satisfactory employment without violation of this Agreement. 
 2. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Governing
Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to rules of conflicts of law. Member hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
located in the Northern District of California for any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement. 
 (b)
Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to conflict with any federal, state or local law, or to be otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such portion of this Agreement shall be of no force or
effect and this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and be construed as if such portion had not been included in this Agreement. 
 (c) No Assignment. Because the nature of the Agreement is specific to the actions of
