UPDATES TO THIS AGREEMENT January 18. 2008: We added prohibitions on false Project information in "Posting a Projec!." expanded and clarified the Fundraising Rules in "Project Fundraising." added the section "Funding Accounts." explained that Indiegogo is not responsible for Perks and modified the language relating to tax treatment of Contributions in "ConlIibuting to a Project." and stated again that you must have the rights to post User Content in "User Content." February 6. 2008: We added the following clarification to the section tilled "Contributing to Projects": "You understand that making a Contribution to a Project does not give you any rights in or to that Project. including without limitation any ownership. control. or distribution rights. and that the Project Entity shall be free to solicit other funding for the Project. enter into contracts for the Project. allocate rights in or to the Project. and otherwise direct the Project in its sole discretion. You further understand that nothing in this Agreement or otherwise limits Indiegogo's right to enter into agreements or business relationships relating to Projects." October 6. 2008: We revised the "Project Fundraising" and "Contributing to Projects" sections to state that when a Project does not meet its Campaign Goal. a contributor's options are to make the Contribution to the Project anyway. or have the ConlIibution returned to the contributor's Funding Account. and to include an acknowledgment requirement for funded projects. November 21. 2008: We revised the "Project Fundraising" and "Contributing to Projects" sections to reflect the use of a third-party payment processor to handle Contribution transactions.

All necessary fund transfers will take place on the Friday i mmediately following the point the disbursement preference criteria are me!." August 3, 2009: We revised "Project Fundraising section to darify that the funding goal did not have to be the amount of contributions the project owner is looking to raise by the service in total but rather the amount needed to cover a specific phase of the project. We also darified that 3rd party processing fees are removed from Project Funding upon disbursement. September 9, 2009: We revised the "Use of Our Service" section to indude content creators as well as the "Project Fundraising" section to darify a project's acknowledgement requirements if it's successful with fund raising.

Is ACS aware of the "Bear Love Good" fundraising campaign being operated at this link on the IndieGogo.com website? http://www.indiegogo.com/bearlovegood 2. Has ACS authorized the use of its trademark, USPTO Reg. #1615654 in connection with this campaign? 3. Does IndieGogo.com or Mr. Inman have the required written contract with NWF required by Cal. Govt. Code Sec. 12599(i)? 4. Does ACS approve of the solicitation of charitable contributions in conjunction with references to bestiality, such as the Bear Love Good campaign is using? (The campaign specifically accuses either my mother or that of my client of "seducing a Kodiak bear" and providing a misogynistic cartoon to illustrate this activity, and as a result, I have received many hate emails threatening me with bear attacks, rape by a bear, and further lewd solicitations concerning my mother, who, thank heavens, has been deceased for many years.) I look forward to your promptest possible response. Under Cal. Gov. B & P Code Sec. 17510.8, all amounts raised for charitable purposes by Mr. Inman and IndieGogo.com are subject to a charitable trust. Currently, Mr. Inman has committed to pay only $10,000 to the ACS. I believe the ACS is entitled to half of the money that has been raised, currently $166,169 (see attached screencapture). Please advise as to ACS's position on asserting a claim to these funds and what legal action the ACS intends to take in that regard. I respectfully request that this inquiry be forwarded to legal counsel for ACS and kept in confidence and not disclosed to IndieGogo.com or Mr. Inman, in order to protect the rights of the public and ACS. -Charles Carreon, Esq. 2165 S.

Avenida Planeta Tucson, Arizona 85710 chas@charlescarreon.com Telephone: 52 0-841-0835 Fax: 520-843-2083     June 26, 2012    Via Email:   rtangri@durietangri.com  mlemley@durietangri.com     enovikov@durietangri.com  Ragesh Tangri  Mark Lemley  Eugene Novikov  Durie Tangri  217 Leidesdorff Street  San Francisco, CA 94111    Re:   Carreon v. Inman and Indiego, Case No. CV 12‐03112 EMC     Dear Counsel:    This letter follows up on our conversation today in which you all were present  on the speakerphone.  Thank you for the opportunity to present a proposal for a  stipulated resolution of the pending matter.    First, this will provide written notice that pursuant to Local Rule 65‐1 and  F.R.Civ.P. 65, Plaintiff will move the Court in the above‐named and numbered  action for a Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause Regarding  Preliminary Injunction (TRO) to enjoin defendant Indiegogo,Inc. (“Indiegogo”)  pending trial of this action from transferring the proceeds of the Bear Love  campaign in the amount of not less than $220,014 (the“Charitable Fund”), or any  amount at all, to Matthew Inman, and requiring that the Charitable Fund be held  as segregated funds by Indiegogo pending further order of the Court, for  distribution of the Charitable Fund to the designated beneficiaries of the Bear  Love campaign, to wit, defendants, the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the  National Wildlife Federation (NWF).    The proposed TRO will not seek the imposition of any relief adverse to  Indiegogo, ACS, or NWF, and is being filed solely to secure moneys in the Bear  Love campaign for the benefit of ACS and NWF as the identified beneficiaries of  the Bear Love campaign.      Charles Carreon, Esq.  Page 2  Indiegogo was served with the Summons and Complaint on at the offices of its  Agent for Service of Process in Los Angeles, California shortly after the action  was commenced.  Since that date, there have been two filing developments.  The  case was reassigned to the Hon. Edward M. Chen, and Plaintiff filed a First  Amended Complaint (“FAC”).  These documents are transmitted herewith.    Second, as I proposed in our telephone conversation, Plaintiff is willing to resolve  this entire matter by stipulation that will accomplish the stated purposes of the  Bear Love campaign as defined by Mr. Inman, except as follows:   No portion of the Charitable Fund shall be disbursed to Mr. Inman.   The entire Charitable Fund will be disbursed 50/50 to ACS and NWF.    Third, I am attempting to work with ACS and NWF to assure that all of the  14,406 Bear Love campaign donors will receive receipts for their tax‐deductible  donations, which they of course would not receive if the money were disbursed  to Mr. Inman.  As I explained, based upon my non‐specialist knowledge of tax  law, if Mr. Inman were to receive the Charitable Fund and donate the funds to  ACS and NWF, Mr. Inman, rather than the Bear Love campaign donors, would  receive the tax deduction, a form of unjust enrichment that would inure to his  benefit and to their detriment.    Fourth, if the matter can be resolved by stipulation, Plaintiff will waive: (a) his  argument that Indiegogo is not entitled to receive the $8,800.56, i.e., four percent  (4%) of the Charitable Fund because it is not a registered charitable fundraiser, as  alleged in ¶ 60 of the FAC; (b) his prayer for relief seeking an injunction to  restrain Indiegogo to “halt all ongoing campaigns on the Indiegogo site currently  operating in violation of California law and hold all funds in charitable trust  until Indiegogo registers with the California Attorney General as a charitable  fundraiser and in all other ways complies with California law regulating  charitable fundraising;” and, (c) his claim for an attorney’s fee as a public  attorney general.    As agreed, as soon as the Ex Parte Application is filed, I will email it to all three  of you.  I look forward to discussing this matter further in an effort to draft a  stipulation that will resolve this matter without a need to invoke an adjudicatory  process.  Please contact me directly at 520‐841‐0835.    Thank you for your attention to this matter.    Very truly yours,    Charles Carreon  6/26/2012 Charles Carreon, Esq.    cc:  Page 3  Dep. Attorney General Joseph Zimring at fax 213‐897‐7605  Joseph.Zimring@doj.ca.gov  6/26/2012 Exhibit K
