Item 1.01. Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

Purchase Agreement and Investment Transaction

On January 31, 2014, YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. (the “ Company ”) entered into a Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with C Media Limited (“C Media”) and certain other purchasers (collectively, the “ Investors ”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investors an aggregate of 14,285,714 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “ Series E Preferred Stock ”) for $1.75 per share, or a total purchase price of $25 million. Among the 14,285,714 shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued to the Investors, (i) 1,142,857 shares were issued upon the conversion of that certain convertible note issued to C Media in principal amount of $2,000,000, (ii) 10,857,143 shares were issued for an aggregate purchase price of $19 million, and (iii) 2,285,714 shares were issued upon the conversion of 2,285,714 shares of Series D 4% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ Series D Preferred Stock ”) held by C Media, which constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, into the Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the above transaction (the “ Series E Financing ”), the Company is obligated to file one or more registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) to register the Registrable Securities, as defined in the Purchase Agreement. The Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause each registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable. If the first registration statement is not effective by June 30, 2014 if subject to review by the Commission, or within 45 days of filing with the Commission if not subject to review, the Company will be obligated to pay to the Investors, pro rata based on the proportion of the total purchase price paid by each Investor in an aggregate amount equal to 1% of the purchase price paid by the Investors for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following June 30, 2014 until the registration statement is declared effective; provided, however, that in no event should the aggregate amount of payments relating to a delay in registration exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the total purchase price paid by the Investors. If the Commission, by written or oral comment or otherwise, limits the Company’s ability to file, or prohibits or delays the filing of, a registration statement with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities which were not included in the first registration statement or any subsequent registration statement because of a Registration Cap, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, it will not be deemed to be a breach or default by the Company under the Purchase Agreement of its obligations.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement or a complete explanation of the material terms thereof. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is initially convertible into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided for in the Certificate of Designation.


In addition, the Certificate of Designation provides that, so long as at least 25% of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, and except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation, (i) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Company, or effect any material merger, acquisition or consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (iii) alter or change the powers, preferences or rights given to the shares of Series E Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation, (iv) directly and/or indirectly, designate, issue, authorize, create or otherwise permit to exist, any additional shares of senior or parity securities, (v) directly and/or indirectly increase the number of authorized shares of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock, (vi) purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) any junior, senior or parity securities, (vii) directly and/or indirectly create, incur or assume any liability or indebtedness for borrowed money that is secured other than equipment leases and other permitted indebtedness, (viii) directly and/or indirectly create, incur or assume any liability or indebtedness for borrowed money that is unsecured, (ix) enter into any agreement with respect to the acquisition of any material business, assets or property, (x) sell, lease, license, surrender, relinquish, encumber, pledge, transfer, amend, convey or otherwise dispose of any business, property or assets having a material market value, except in the ordinary course of business, (xi) enter into any transaction with any affiliate of the Company which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, unless such transaction is expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, (xii) except with respect to Beijing China Broadband Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Shandong Lushi Media Co., Ltd. and their respective direct or indirect subsidiaries, create or hold capital stock in any subsidiary that is not wholly owned (either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) by the Company, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any capital stock of any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company or permit any direct or indirect subsidiary to sell, lease, transfer, exclusively license or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of such subsidiary, (xiii) increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Company’s board of directors, (xiv) effect any material change to the Company’s business plan or nature of its business, (xv) increase the number of shares of common stock authorized under the Company’s stock option plan, (xvi) alter or change the powers, preferences or rights or increase the number of outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock, or (xvii) approve or finalize the annual budget of the Company, except with the approval of the Company’s financial oversight committee.

a) Conversions at Option of Holder . Each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to Section 6(d)), determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series E Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price.

Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such effective date, the “ Conversion Date ”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series E Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series E Preferred Stock, or an affidavit of loss, promptly following the Conversion Date at issue.

Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock. On or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

ii. Failure to Deliver Certificates . If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Series E Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

iii. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages . Subject to Section 6(d), the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series E Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided , however , that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Series E Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason. The Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages and all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to obtain damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

- 12 -


iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(c)(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue and that were sold multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series E Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(c)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series E Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Corporation is required to make payment in respect of a Buy-In for the failure to timely deliver certificates hereunder and, if the Corporation has previously paid such Holder liquidated damages under Section 6(c)(iii) in respect of the certificates resulting in such Buy-In prior to such Buy-In, such amounts paid under Section 6(c)(iii) shall be deducted from the amount to be paid in respect of such certificates pursuant to this Section 6(c)(iv)).

- 13 -


v. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

vi. Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

vii. Transfer Taxes . The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

d) Automatic Conversion of Series E Shares . For so long as C Media Limited (“ C Media ”) or its Affiliates remain the Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, if C Media or its Affiliates elect to convert any shares of Series E Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this Section 6, then each other Holder of shares of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding shall convert its Pro Rata Portion into shares of Common Stock at the applicable Conversion Price. Upon conversion by C Media or its Affiliates, as described in this Section 6(d), each other Holder of Series E Shares shall be obligated to take all such further action as may be required to effect the conversion of such Holder’s Pro Rata Portion of Series E Shares into Common Stock on the terms and according to the procedures set forth herein. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the term “Pro Rata Portion” shall mean (i) the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by such Holder at the Conversion Date, multiplied by (ii) the percentage of the aggregate shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by C Media and its Affiliates that are converted pursuant to this Section 6.

- 14 -


Section 7. Certain Adjustments .

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits . If the Corporation, at any time while the Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents on shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, the Series D Preferred Stock or the Series E Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) 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, combination or re-classification.

b) Subsequent Equity Sales . From the Original Issue Date until the date which is forty-two (42) months thereafter, if the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as applicable sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “ Base Conversion Price ” and such issuances, collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7(b) in respect of any Exempt Issuance. If the Corporation enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible price at which such securities may be sold, converted, exercised or exchanged. The Corporation shall notify the Holders in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 7(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Corporation provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 7(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holders are entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

- 15 -


c) Subsequent Rights Offerings . If the Corporation, at any time while the Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is lower than the VWAP on the record date referenced below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming delivery to the Corporation in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.

d) Pro Rata Distributions . If the Corporation, at any time while the Series E Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (other than the Common Stock, which shall be subject to Section 7(b)), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion 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 VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holders describing the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

The Mandatory Registration Statement shall permit the holders of Registrable Securities to offer and sell, on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, any or all of the Registrable Securities.

(b) The Company shall prepare and file the first Mandatory Registration Statement (the “First Mandatory Registration Statement”) with the Commission by later of (i) February 7, 2014, and (ii) the date that is two (2) Business Days after the date that the Company has received all of the information from holders of Registrable Securities required to prepare and file the First Mandatory Registration Statement with the Commission.

36


(c) The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause each Mandatory Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable.

(d) Solely with regard to the First Mandatory Registration Statement, if (i) a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Commission by June 30, 2014, if subject to the Commission’s review, or, if not subject to review, forty-five (45) days after the date when such Registration Statement is filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 8.1(b), or (ii) after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement (including without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update the Registration Statement), but excluding the inability of the holders of Registrable Securities to sell the Registrable Securities covered thereby due to market conditions, then the Company will make payments to the Purchasers, pro rata based on the proportion of the total Purchase Price paid by each Purchaser, in an aggregate amount equal to 1% of the total Purchase Price for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof, following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been effective. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate amount of liquidated damages payments pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) exceed ten percent (10%) of the total Purchase Price.

(e) Each holder of Registrable Securities shall cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested in connection with the preparation and filing of each Mandatory Registration Statement hereunder, including, without limitation, by furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and by executing such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. The Company shall promptly notify the holders of Registrable Securities of the effectiveness of each Mandatory Registration Statement within one (1) Business Days from the Business Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission.

(f) The Company shall be required, absent contrary comment or instruction, oral or written, from the Commission, to keep each Mandatory Registration Statement effective for the Mandatory Effectiveness Period. Thereafter, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw the applicable Mandatory Registration Statement and holders of Registrable Securities shall have no further right to offer or sell any of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such withdrawn Mandatory Registration Statement (or any prospectus relating thereto).

(g) The offer and sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Mandatory Registration Statement shall not be underwritten.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities on a Mandatory Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the holders of Registrable Securities or by General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, the applicable Mandatory Registration Statement shall register the resale of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as is permitted by the Commission (the “Registration Cap”), with the shares of Common Stock included in such Mandatory Registration Statement being determined pro rata, subject to any comment or instruction, oral or written, from the Commission, based on the number of Registrable Securities of each holder of Registrable Securities relative to the total number of Registrable Securities, excluding, for this sole purpose and only with regard to the First Mandatory Registration Statement, Registrable Securities held by Persons other than the Purchasers.

37


(i) Each Mandatory Registration Statement shall be prepared and filed as promptly as possible, provided that in no event will the Company file a Registration Statement with respect to the registration of the resale of remaining Registrable Securities by holders of Registrable Securities earlier than 180 calendar days following the date the immediately prior Mandatory Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission or later than 210 calendar days following the date the immediately prior Mandatory Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission (subject to the matters and limitations set forth below).

(k) Until such time as the Company has satisfied its obligations to register all of the Registrable Securities, so long as the Original Purchaser and Shane McMahon continue to hold Registrable Securities, without the prior written consent of both the Original Purchaser and McMahon, the Company shall not grant any right of registration under the Securities Act relating to any of its securities to any Person other than Shane McMahon and Xuesong Song pursuant to the terms of their respective Employment Agreements with the Company.

The Released Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of this General Release, and this General Release may be enforced by each of them in accordance with the terms hereof in respect of the rights granted to such Released Parties hereunder. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

1.

I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Section 5.1 of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that I will not receive the payments and benefits specified in Section 5.1 of the Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter or breach this General Release. Such payments and benefits will not be considered compensation for purposes of any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company or its respective affiliates.

Except as provided in paragraphs 4 and 5 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through the date that this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against the Company and/or any of the Released Parties which I, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, ever had, now have, or hereafter may have (through the date that this General Release becomes effective and enforceable), by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of my initial dealings with the Company to the date of this General Release relating exclusively to any claims arising from or relating in any way to my employment relationship with the Company, the terms and conditions of that employment relationship, and the termination of that employment relationship (including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “ Claims ”).

5.

Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or Claims (a) arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof, (b) I have to workers’ compensation benefits or vested benefits under any pension plan, employee benefit plan or any other plan or program of the Company, or (c) with respect to indemnification for actions brought against me in my capacity as an officer, manager or director of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, whether pursuant to statute, the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, or any separate agreement, but excluding any claims which I, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, ever had, now have, or hereafter may have (through the date that this General Release becomes effective and enforceable), by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of my initial dealings with the Company to the date of this General Release, relating to any other relationship with the Company, including, without limitation, as option holder, stockholder, lender, director or otherwise.

   
6.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, I acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to waive any right that cannot be waived under law, including the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding; provided, however, that I disclaim and waive any right to share or participate in any monetary award resulting from the prosecution of such charge or investigation or proceeding.

   
7.

In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state or local statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement. I further agree that in the event that I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company, or in the event that I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims to the maximum extent permitted by law.

- 17 -



8.

I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.

This General Release constitutes the complete and entire agreement and understanding among the parties, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, commitments, understandings or arrangements, whether written or oral, between or among any of the parties, in each case concerning the subject matter hereof.

C Media’s purchase of Series E Shares represents the second phase of C Media’s strategic investment in YOU On Demand. The aggregate amount of C Media’s investment in the Company, including its first phase investment, interim contribution, and second phase investment (together with the other purchasers of Series E Shares), is USD $25 million.

C Media completed the first phase of its investment in the Company in July 2013 with the purchase of $4 million of shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, which converted automatically into Series E Shares at the closing of its second phase investment in the Company on January 31, 2014. Further information regarding the first phase of C Media’s investment in the Company can be found in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 11, 2013.

Between the first phase of C Media’s investment in YOU On Demand in July 2013, and its second phase investment in the Company on January 31, 2014, C Media contributed USD $2 million to the Company in exchange for a Promissory Note from the Company with the same principal amount.

Their recent expansion into mobile, backed by a key distribution agreement with Huawei, underscores that the Company remains uniquely positioned to capitalize on China’s fast-growing demand for access to quality entertainment anywhere, anytime. As a significant investor in YOU On Demand, C Media looks forward to continuing to utilize our mobile industry expertise and wealth of industry relationships to further support YOD’s future success.”
