The Purchaser's obligation to take any action pursuant to this Agreement in respect of registration of the resale of the Consideration Shares is conditional upon the Shareholder furnishing to the Purchaser such information regarding itself and its intended method of disposition of the Consideration Shares as may be required to affect such registration and the Purchaser's other obligations hereunder. Without detracting from the Purchaser's obligations to use its best efforts as stated above, the Shareholder acknowledges that the Purchaser may be unable, despite its best efforts, to effect the filing of the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline due to circumstances beyond the control of the Purchaser (including, without limitation, impediments to such filing which may arise due to the review by the SEC of the Purchaser Reports (as defined in Section 7.9 hereof). 2.4 The Purchaser also agrees to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser and the Shareholder hereby expressly acknowledge that the resale of the Consideration Shares may never be so registered with, and that such Registration Statement may never be declared effective by, the SEC, notwithstanding the best efforts of the Purchaser and that, if the resale of the Consideration Shares is not so registered with the SEC, they will not be freely tradable for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, subsequent to which twelve (12) month period, the Consideration Shares (or some portion thereof as determined in accordance with applicable laws) may be freely tradable pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the US Act. Page 5 2.5 All expenses related to the preparation, filing and declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, other than any direct costs of the Shareholder or the Company related to the preparation of the Registration Statement (including, without limitation, any legal fees, commissions and other offering costs and other expenses incurred by the Shareholder) all of which direct costs shall be borne by the Shareholder, shall be borne by the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that all expenses related to the preparation of audited financial statements for the Company for the period prior to the Closing Date in a form suitable for filing which the SEC in the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser shall be borne by the Shareholder. 2.6 Once filed and declared effective, the Purchaser shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7 hereof, take all actions necessary to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until such time, if any, that the Consideration Shares have been disposed of or may be freely sold by the Shareholder pursuant to Rule 144 under the US Act during any ninety (90) day period. 2.7 The Shareholder agrees that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with resales of any Consideration Shares. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, the Shareholder agrees that it shall (a) comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the US Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Consideration Shares, (b) not offer or sell any Consideration Shares pursuant to any registration hereunder until it has received copies of the applicable prospectus as then in effect and notice from the Purchaser that such registration statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective, (c) comply with the provisions of Regulation M promulgated by the SEC as applicable to it in connection with sales of Consideration Shares pursuant to any such registration statement and (d) not offer or sell any Consideration Shares pursuant to any such registration statement during the effectiveness of any stop order with respect to such registration statement. Upon receipt of any notice from the Purchaser of the existence of any circumstance or the occurrence of any event as a result of which (i) any such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any such prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Shareholder shall not offer or sell any Consideration Shares pursuant to any such registration statement until the Shareholder receives from the Purchaser copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus and notice that any related post-effective amendment has become effective, and, if so directed by the Purchaser, the Shareholder shall deliver to the Purchaser all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such the Shareholder's possession, of the prospectus as theretofore in effect. 2.8 At any time until such time, if any, that the Consideration Shares have been disposed of or may be freely sold by the Shareholder pursuant to Rule 144 under the US Act during any ninety (90) day period, if the Purchaser shall determine to register the sale of any of its securities under the US Act either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities (other than convertible debt securities), a registration solely in connection with a merger with or acquisition of a third party, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Purchaser will at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such registration give the Shareholder written notice thereof and, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.9 to 2.13 hereof, include in such registration, and in any underwriting involved therein, if legally possible, such number of Consideration Shares specified in a written request by the Purchaser and received by the Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days after the written notice from the Purchaser is delivered by the Purchaser. Such written request may specify all or a part of the Consideration Shares held by the Purchaser at such date. Page 6 2.9 If the registration of which the Purchaser gives notice under Section 2.8 is for a registered public offering or distribution involving an underwriting, the Purchaser shall so advise the Shareholder as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof and, in such event, the right of the Shareholder to registration pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof shall be conditional upon the Shareholder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of any Consideration Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If the Shareholder proposes to distribute any Consideration Shares through such underwriting, then the Shareholder (together with the Purchaser and the other holders of securities of the Purchaser distributing their securities through such underwriting) will enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Purchaser. 2.10 Notwithstanding any other provision of Sections 2.8 and 2.9 hereof, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the Consideration Shares and other securities to be distributed through such underwriting and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated: (a) first, to the Purchaser; and (ii) second, to the Shareholder and any other shareholder of the Purchaser on a pro rata basis, and the Purchaser shall so advise the Shareholder. 2.11 If the Shareholder does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting (including the terms of the underwriting agreement referred to in Section 2.9 hereof), the Shareholder shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Purchaser or the underwriter. Any Consideration Shares or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration. 2.12 The Purchaser shall have the right, without the consent of the Shareholder, to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under Section 2.8 hereof prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not the Shareholder has elected to include Consideration Shares in such registration. 2.13 The Shareholder may withdraw its Consideration Shares from the proposed registration by giving written notice to the Purchaser and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the tenth Business Day prior to the proposed date of the effectiveness of such registration. 2.14 The Escrow Shares shall be held by the Escrow Agent in escrow for the Purchaser pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and Section 9 of this Agreement. On the first anniversary of the Closing (the "Release Date") if any Escrow Shares remain held by the Escrow Agent and no claims are then outstanding against such Escrow Shares, then all (or the unclaimed balance) of such Escrow Shares shall be released to the Shareholder on the Release Date. 3.

INDEMNIFICATION. 9.1 Indemnity. The Shareholder (with respect to the covenants, representations and warranties of the Company and the Shareholder hereunder) and the Purchaser (with respect to the covenants, representations and warranties of the Purchaser hereunder) (each such person, an "Indemnifying Party"), shall indemnify and hold the Purchaser or the Shareholder, as may be applicable, and all of such indemnified party's respective affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (the "Indemnified Parties") harmless in respect of any claim, demand, action, cause of action, damage, loss, cost, liability or expense (each, a "Claim") which may be made or brought against any of the Indemnified Parties or which any of such Indemnified Parties may suffer or incur directly or indirectly as a result of, in respect of or arising out of any of the following (collectively, "Breaches"): (a) any incorrectness in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of such Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement or under any other agreement, certificate or instrument executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (b) any breach of or any non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of such Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or under any other agreement, certificate or instrument executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement; or (c) in the case of the Purchaser as Indemnified Party, any liability (i) for taxes payable to any level of government in any jurisdiction (including any related interest, penalty or costs) which may be payable by the Company in respect of any period (or portion thereof) ending or prior to the Closing Date and which are not disclosed on the Financial Statements and/or (ii) of the Company for any taxes of any other person pursuant to Treas. Reg ss. 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of applicable state, local or foreign law) as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise. 9.2 Notice of Claim. If an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a Claim in respect of which indemnification is provided for pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, such Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice of the Claim to the Indemnifying Parties. Such notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a person against the Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim") or whether the Claim does not so arise (a "Direct Claim"), an shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that such information is available): Page 28 (a) the factual basis for the Claim; and (b) the amount of the Claim, if known. If, through the fault of an Indemnified Party, any Indemnifying Party does not receive notice of any Claim in time effectively to contest the determination of any liability susceptible of being contested, then the liability of such Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any losses incurred by either such Indemnifying Party or such Indemnified Party resulting from such Indemnified Party's failure to give such notice on a timely basis. 9.3 Direct Claims. In the case of a Direct Claim, each Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of notice of the Claim within which to make such investigation of the Claim as such Indemnifying Party considers necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to such Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim, together with all such other information as such Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If both parties agree at or before the expiration of such thirty (30) day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the Claim, failing which the matter shall be referred to binding arbitration in such manner as the parties may agree or shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 9.4 Third Party Claims. In the case of a Third Party Claim, each Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of the Claim. If any such Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, such Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of the Indemnified Party's out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of such participation or assumption. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim to retain counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless any such Indemnifying Party consents to the retention of such counsel at its expense or unless named parties to any action or proceeding include both such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and a representation of both such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defenses). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with any such Indemnifying Party as to permit such Indemnifying Party to conduct such negotiation, settlement and defense and for this purpose shall preserve all relevant documents in relation to the Third Party Claim, allow such Indemnifying Party access on reasonable notice and take copies of all such documents and require its personnel to provide such statements as such Indemnifying Party may reasonably require and to attend and give evidence at any trial or hearing in respect of the Third Party Claim. If having elected to assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim, any Indemnifying Party thereafter fails to conduct such negotiation, settlement or defense with reasonable diligence, then such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control and such Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. 9.5 Settlement of Third Party Claims. If any Indemnifying Party fails to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to contest, settle or pay the amount claimed. 9.6 Threshold Basket for Indemnification; Insurance Recoveries.

In addition, for purposes of Claims brought under this Agreement, damages or losses shall be calculated net of any insurance proceeds realized by and paid to the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim. Page 29 9.7 Payment of Indemnification by Shareholder. The liability of the Shareholder pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 shall be limited absolutely to the value of the Escrow Shares received by the Shareholder (based on the value of the ZIM Shares at the Closing Date), however, that the liability of the Shareholder hereunder (i) shall be limited to an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the value of the Consideration Shares, with respect to any Usage Claim, and (ii) shall be unlimited as to any Claim relating to fraud committed by the Shareholder related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.9 hereof, the Shareholder may pay any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder by, at the discretion of the Shareholder, (a) set off by the Purchaser against the Shareholder's Escrow Shares, (b) surrender to the Purchaser for cancellation by any ZIM Shares held by the Shareholder or (c) the payment of cash by the Shareholder to the Purchaser. 9.8 Payment of Indemnification by the Purchaser.

Except for claims arising from fraud and any claims brought under sub-section 10.2 hereof, Claims pursuant to this Section 9 shall be in lieu of any other rights or remedies that may be available to any party at law, in equity or otherwise. 10.

Page 30 (a) The Shareholder shall not, and shall ensure that its affiliates do not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, at any time within the period of two (2) years following the date of this Agreement (the "Non-Competition Period"), either individually or in partnership or jointly or in conjunction with any person, as principal, agent, employer, investor or shareholder, or in any other manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, advise, manage, carry on, establish, acquire control of, be engaged in or invest in, a business that engages in the sale or distribution through the internet of "ringtones" or "wallpaper" for mobile phones (with the exception of adult entertainment) worldwide (with the exception of through the Shareholder's 50% owned joint venture in the Czech Republic, ATS Praha, or through its 25% owned venture in the UK). (b) The Shareholder hereby agrees, and it shall ensure that its affiliates agree, that during the Non-Competition Period, the Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit any customer of the Company to terminate such customer's relationship with the Company or to enter into any relationship with the Shareholder or any affiliate of the Shareholder pursuant to which the Shareholder or such affiliate performs services for such customer equivalent to those performed by the Company for such customer as of the Closing. (c) Without limiting the generality of any provision of this Agreement, the Shareholder expressly acknowledges that the Shareholder shall not and shall ensure that its affiliates do not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, at any time within the Non-Competition Period, either individually or in partnership or jointly or in conjunction with any person, as principal, agent, employer, investor or shareholder, by way of e-mail, SMS text message, or in any other manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, access any previous customers of the Company for the purposes of providing mobile entertainment for mobile phones to any such persons. (d) The Shareholder acknowledges that a breach by it or its affiliates of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10.2 would result in damages to the Company and the Purchaser and that the Company and/or the Purchaser may not be adequately compensated for such damages by monetary award alone. Accordingly, the Shareholder agrees that in the event of any such breach, in addition to any other remedies available at law or otherwise, the Company and the Purchaser shall be entitled as a matter of right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for relief by way of injunction, restraining order, decree or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance by the Shareholder and its affiliates with the provisions of this Section 10.2. Any remedy expressly set out in this Section 10.2 shall be in addition to and not inclusive of or dependent upon the exercise of any other remedy available at law or otherwise. (e) The parties agree that all restrictions in this Section 10.2 are necessary and fundamental to the protection of the respective businesses of the parties and are reasonable and valid. All defences to the strict enforcement of this Section 10.2 against the parties or any of their respective affiliates are hereby waived. (f) The Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the subject matter, duration, and geographic scope of this Section 10.2 are reasonable. If any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine any of the foregoing covenants to be unenforceable with respect to the term thereof or the scope of the subject matter or geography covered thereby, such remaining covenants shall nonetheless be enforceable by such court against such other party or parties or upon such shorter term or within such lesser scope to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. If the scope of any restriction contained in this Section 10.2 is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its full extent, then such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the Shareholder hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Section 10.2 as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the other provisions hereof and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted. Page 31 10.3 REPAYMENT OF DEBT. So long as any amounts remain outstanding under the Note, the Purchaser shall not repay any other debt owed to any other party other than debt incurred in bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and owed to unsecured trade creditors that are not affiliated with the Purchaser, and debt owed to the Royal Bank of Canada under the Purchaser's existing line of credit facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that any outstanding amount on the line of credit provided to Purchaser by Michael Cowpland (or his affiliates) may at any time be converted to ZIM Shares at then-prevailing market price for the ZIM Shares on the OTCBB without giving rise to a breach of this Section 10.3 and without any notice to, or consent of, the Shareholder. 10.4 FURTHER ASSURANCES; MISDIRECTED PAYMENTS. Following the Closing, the parties will execute and deliver to each other such documents and take such other actions as they may reasonably request in order to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. After the Closing Date, in the event payment for any amounts due the Purchaser is received by the Shareholder, Shareholder will promptly turn the same over to the Purchaser, and in the event payment for any amounts due the Shareholder are received by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will promptly turn the same over to the Shareholder. 10.5 PRO RATION OF CERTAIN MARKETING COSTS.

Amounts due to any party pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be calculated on or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and the party that owes any payment under this Section 10.5 shall pay the other party such amount promptly after receipt of the information that determines the amount due. 10.6 TRANSITION ASSISTANCE.

After twenty (20) hours of free assistance, Shareholder shall make further assistance available to the Purchaser, at the Purchaser's reasonable request at times that are reasonably agreed upon, for a fee of $75 per hour. (b) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement, following the Closing and for a period of sixty (60) days thereafter, the Shareholder shall make available to the Purchaser, at the Purchaser's reasonable request at times that are reasonably agreed upon, and at no cost to the Purchaser, all reasonable assistance that the Purchaser may require to (i) secure new agreements with suppliers of the Company where current arrangements with such suppliers are either with the Shareholder (not the Company) or not in writing, (ii) secure the assignment and/or consent of counterparties to agreements with the Shareholder and/or the Company which require Shareholder Consents and/or Approvals and Shareholder Notices which have not been obtained on or prior to the Closing. Any assistance provided by the Shareholder under this sub-section 10.6(b) shall not derogate from the Shareholder's obligations under sub-section 10.6(a) hereof or any other provision of this Agreement. Page 32 (c) After the date hereof, the Shareholder shall use its best efforts to aid the Purchaser and the third party service provider contracted by the parties hereto or any of them in documenting the installation and set up configuration instruction procedures for the Company's online systems, which efforts shall include, without limitation, providing all back-up documentation and other information that may be reasonably necessary to assist with documenting the installation and set up configuration instruction procedures for the Company's online systems. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Shareholder agrees to pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees payable to such third party service provider to document such installation and set up configuration instruction procedures, up to a maximum of US$2,500 provided, however, that for greater certainty, the Shareholder shall not be required to create any new documentation under this sub-section 10.6(c) where such documentation has not been previously existed with respect to the Company's online systems. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, for reasons substantially beyond the control of the Purchaser, such documentation has not been completed and delivered to the Purchaser by the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, then the Shareholder shall be responsible to pay for all fees for hosting the Company's online system until such time as such documentation is provided to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall be entitled to claim against the Escrow Shares for any such amount which is not otherwise paid by the Shareholder forthwith upon demand therefor. (d) The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all tax returns for the Company that are filed after the Closing Date, other than tax returns with respect to periods for which a consolidated, unitary or combined tax return of the Shareholder will or should include the operations of the Company. 11.
