WHEREAS, on May 1, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Sale Procedures Order establishing procedures governing the marketing and sale of Seller’s assets, including that parties may submit written offers for Seller’s assets together with a clean, unmarked Asset Purchase Agreement through June 9, 2008, which date was subsequently extended to June 16, 2008; and

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to acquire certain of Seller’s assets, and Seller desires to sell and assign those assets, all in the manner and on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations and warranties set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE

SECTION 1.01. Acquired Assets.

(a)

Assets. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the approval by the Bankruptcy Court of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, at the Closing and as of the Closing Date, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase or assume, as the case may be all of Seller’ rights, title, and interests in and to the assets, contracts, property, rights and claims of Seller relating to the Business, wherever located, whether real, personal or mixed, whether tangible or intangible, including, without limitation, the following (but excluding Excluded Assets) (collectively, the “Acquired Assets”):

	(i)		Seller’s Accounts Receivable generated by or otherwise related to the Acquired Assets or the Business, a detailed schedule and aging report of which as of the date hereof is attached hereto as Schedule 1.01(a)(i), which gross Accounts receivable shall not be materially less in the aggregate as of the Closing;

	(ii)		That certain real property lease described on Schedule 1.01(a)(ii) hereto (the “Lease”), and any improvements located thereon;

	(iv)		Seller’s books, records and other information relating to the Business, including all financial and accounting statements, sales and promotional materials and records, customer lists, supplier lists, mailing lists, distribution lists, business plans, demographic information, credit information, costs and pricing information, reference catalogs and other data and information relating to the Business or the Acquired Assets.

	(v)		All of Seller’s advances, expenses, rents, credits and security deposits “pre-paid” relating to the Business or the Acquired Assets;

	(vi)		all claims, causes of action, choses in action, rights of recovery and rights of set-off of any kind in favor of Seller and pertaining to, or arising out of, the Acquired Assets or the Business or offsetting any Assumed Liability, other than Avoidance Actions;

	(vii)		all guarantees, warranties, indemnities and similar rights in favor of Seller or otherwise relating to the Business or the Acquired Assets;

	(viii)		all Masters, including, without limitation, those Masters set forth on Schedule 1.01(a)(viii) hereto;

	(ix)		those executory Contracts set forth in Schedule 1.01(a)(ix), as that schedule may be amended from time to time prior to the Closing by Purchaser (the “Assumed Contracts”), it being understood that the inclusion of any such contract as an Assumed Contract and an Acquired Asset shall be subject to the entry of a Bankruptcy Court order or the agreement of the non-debtor party to the applicable contract;

	(x)		all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in Intellectual Property related to the Acquired Assets or the Business; and

	(xi)		the right to collect, receive and retain all royalties and other monies earned from any source or sources with respect to the Masters or the Business which have not been received by Seller by the Initial Closing Date regardless of when earned, including, without limitation, all vendor receipts, royalty overrides, joint venture participations and other income or income participations of any description related to the Business (other than the Excluded Assets). For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Initial Closing, Seller shall turn over to Purchaser within five business days after receipt of cleared funds, all monies received by seller with respect to the foregoing along with any supporting statements and documents that Purchaser may reasonably request .

(b)

As of Closing, (i) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets shall be immediately vested in Purchaser free and clear of all Liens, Claims and Other Interests other than the Permitted Exceptions and (ii) risk of loss as to the Acquired Assets shall pass from the Seller to Purchaser.

SECTION 1.02. Excluded Assets.

(a)		The following shall constitute Excluded Assets: (i) Avoidance Actions; (ii) Excluded Contracts; (iii) the Subsidiary Interests; (iv) the HFA Inventory and the Excluded Inventory; (v) all cash and cash equivalents of Seller; (vi) Seller’s rights under this Agreement and all cash and non-cash consideration payable or deliverable to Seller pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof; (vii) insurance proceeds, claims and causes of action with respect to or arising in connection with (1) any lease or contract which is not assigned to Purchaser at the Closing, or (2) any item of tangible or intangible property not acquired by Purchaser at the Closing; (viii) life insurance policies of officers and other employers of Seller; (ix) all employee benefit plans, employment agreements and any other similar arrangements (written or oral) maintained by Seller relating to employment, employee health, welfare and benefits with respect to any employee of Seller; and (x) any other assets that Purchaser determines are not desirable to the ongoing operation of the Business as of the Closing and thereafter.

(b)		For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser may nonetheless elect to receive the HFA Inventory, either before or after the Closing Date as “work in process” and not make such

HFA Inventory available for resale until Purchaser has procured all necessary mechanical or other licenses to permit the resale of such Excluded Inventory.

SECTION 1.03. Assumed Liabilities.

(a)

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Acquired Assets to Purchaser at Closing, Purchaser shall assume from Seller and thereafter pay, perform or otherwise satisfy all debts, liabilities and obligations of Seller owing on account of the following (provided that no such assumption, payment, performance or satisfaction shall reduce the Purchase Price) (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

	(i)		the obligations and liabilities of the Seller accruing and to be performed on or after the Closing under the Assumed Contracts; and

	(ii)		any liabilities arising after the Closing out of the ownership of the Acquired Assets by Purchaser.

(b)		Purchaser shall assume Liability for curing monetary defaults required to effectuate assumption and assignment in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 related to the Assumed Contracts excluding the Lease. To the extent that the cure amounts for such Assumed Contracts exceed $1,000,000, then Purchaser shall have the option of not assuming any such Assumed Contracts so that the cure amounts will not exceed $1,000,000; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to fund any cure costs with respect to Assumed Contracts except with respect to the Lease. Purchaser shall designate in one or more writings to Seller (to be delivered before, at or after the Closing) those executory contracts and unexpired leases that will not become Assumed Contracts in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.03(b).

(c)		Purchaser shall pay an additional $25,000 at the Closing for the purposes of curing any monetary defaults under the Lease. To the extent that the Liabilities on the Assumed Contracts (excluding the Lease) are less than $1,000,000, the difference between $1,000,000 and the actual cure amounts may, at the discretion of Seller, be used to fund any additional cure cost in excess of $25,000 necessary to assume the Lease.

(d)		Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in providing to the Bankruptcy Court any evidence necessary to prove adequate assurance of future performance necessary to effect the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Contracts. Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred after the Closing Date that are necessary in connection with providing adequate assurance of future performance with respect to the Assumed Contracts.

(e)		If, prior to the Closing Date, any Assumed Contract that Purchaser desires to have assumed and assigned pursuant to Section 1.01 is not assumed and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of the Bankruptcy Court, Purchaser agrees that if the non-debtor party to the applicable Assumed Contract does not consent to the assignment and assumption of such Assumed Contract before the Closing Date (any such Assumed Contract, a “Non-Assigned Contract”), then such Non-Assigned Contract shall

not be deemed to be an Assumed Contract within the meaning of Section 1.01 and, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 6, Purchaser shall nonetheless remain obligated to fulfill its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that Purchaser and Seller shall agree to either (i) an adjustment to the Purchase Price in respect of the Non-Assigned Contract to the extent the Non-Assigned Contract is a Material Contract, the amount of which adjustment will be negotiated in good faith by the parties; provided, further, that in no event shall any adjustment(s) in the Purchase Price pursuant to this option exceed $500,000 in the aggregate; (ii) enter into an arrangement with Seller with respect to the Non-Assigned Contract in accordance with Section 5.08 hereof; or (iii) use Purchaser and Seller’s best efforts to obtain a final, non-appealable order of the Bankruptcy Court effectuating the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Contract even if such efforts take place after the Initial Closing.

SECTION 1.04. Excluded Liabilities. Other than the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser is not assuming any other Liability of Seller, the Business, Seller’s Affiliates, their respective businesses or any other Liability otherwise relating to the Acquired Assets, of whatever nature, whether presently in existence or arising hereafter, and all such other liabilities and obligations shall be retained by and remain obligations and liabilities of Seller, including the following:

(a)		any Liability under any Environmental Laws arising or accruing before the Closing;

(b)		any Liability for borrowed money, including accrued interest and fees, arising or accruing before the Closing;

(c)		any Liability for any and all Taxes for all periods prior to the Closing Date;

(d)		any Liability of Seller or its Affiliates arising out of or resulting from Seller’s or its Affiliates non-compliance with any applicable law;

(e)		any Liability relating to Excluded Assets; and

(f)		any Liability for any fees and expenses incurred or owed in connection with the administration of the Chapter 11 Case, the fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, consultants and other professionals retained by Seller or the Committee, incurred or owed in connection with the administration of the Chapter 11 Case, and all out of pocket expenses of Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement..

SECTION 1.05. Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration for the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets shall be an amount in cash equal to $5,050,000 (which amount shall include the Deposit previously paid by Purchaser) (the “Purchase Price”). For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly provided in Section 1.03(e) with respect to Non-Assigned Contracts, the Purchase Price shall not be reduced in the event that Purchaser elects not to assume one or more of the Assumed Contracts listed on Schedule 1.01(a)(ix) in its sole discretion, and not as a result of disputes or objections related to assumption and assignment asserted or filed in the Bankruptcy Court.

In the event and to the extent that Seller and Purchaser are unable to obtain any such required consent, approval or amendment, or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of Seller with respect to the Acquired Assets so that Purchaser would not in fact receive all the rights with respect to the Acquired Assets, Seller and Purchaser will cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement under which Purchaser may (to the extent permitted by law, including without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure,

and any Local Rules or orders of the Bankruptcy Court, or the terms of any applicable agreement) obtain the benefits and assume the obligations with respect to such Acquired Asset in accordance with this Agreement, including sub-contracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to Purchaser, or under which Seller would enforce for the benefit of Purchaser, with Purchaser assuming Seller’ obligations, any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereto.

Following the Closing, Seller shall use best efforts to obtain required consents with respect to any Acquired Assets which are not assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Order. If and when any such consent shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license, or other right shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, Seller shall promptly assign and novate all their rights and obligations thereunder to Purchaser without the payment of any further consideration.

SECTION 5.10. Access to Records. Purchaser shall preserve for a period of six years after the Closing Date all records relating to the Acquired Assets existing prior to the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser need not supply the Seller with any information pursuant to this Section 5.11 which Purchaser is under a legal obligation not to supply or take any action which would constitute a waiver of attorney-client, attorney work product or other privilege.

SECTION 5.11. Recordings. At closing, Seller shall deliver all sound recordings, recorded masters, and tangible embodiments of sound recordings, and Seller shall not retain any copies in any form or medium of the foregoing.

SECTION 5.12. Confidentiality. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall treat as confidential and safeguard any and all proprietary, secret or confidential information related to Seller, the Business and the Purchaser. From and after the Closing Date, Seller agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any of its Affiliates to, make use of, divulge or disclose to any third party (other than the Purchaser or any agent or employee of the Purchaser) any information of any proprietary, secret or confidential nature related to the Business, the Acquired Assets or the Purchaser. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any of its Affiliates to, make use of, divulge or disclose to any third party (other than Seller or

any agent or employee of Seller) any information of any proprietary, secret or confidential nature related to Seller or the Excluded Assets. The foregoing shall not prohibit or restrict the Purchaser or the Seller from disclosing or using any such information in connection with any disclosure or information requirement of applicable law, including without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and any Local Rules or orders of the Bankruptcy Court, or the rules and regulations of any exchange or similar organization on which its securities are traded.

SECTION 5.13. Nondisparagement. From and after the Closing Date, Seller, on behalf of itself and each of its present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and equity holders, agrees that neither it nor they will engage in any conduct with the intent to injure the reputation and interest of the Purchaser, its Affiliates and the Business (including, without limitation recording artists and other non-Debtor parties to any Assumed Contracts), and shall not disparage, induce or encourage others to disparage the Purchaser, its Affiliates and the Business (including, without limitation recording artists and other non-Debtor parties to any Assumed Contracts), or make or cause to be made any statement that is critical of or otherwise maligns the business reputation of the Purchaser, its Affiliates and the Business (including, without limitation recording artists and other non-Debtor parties to any Assumed Contracts).

SECTION 5.14. Disclosure Supplements. From time to time prior to the Closing, with respect to any matter arising after the date hereof which, if existing or occurring as of the date hereof, would have been required to be set forth or described in this Agreement or which is necessary to complete or correct any information in this Agreement or in any representation or warranty of Seller which has been rendered inaccurate thereby, then Seller shall promptly supplement or amend this Agreement as necessary to complete or correct such information. No such supplement or amendment will be deemed to cure any breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement or to affect the conditions to the obligations of the parties.

SECTION 5.15. Transition; Separation of Operations. From and after the date hereof, the parties agree to cooperate and to act in good faith to ensure a smooth transition of operations from Seller to Purchaser, and a separation of operations between Purchaser and Seller’s affiliates, TVT Music, Inc. and TVT Music Enterprises, LLC (collectively, the “Publishing Entities”). In particular, the parties agree to enter into (a) a Data Sharing Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A addressing the separation of systems, data and records of the Publishing Entities from the records of the Seller (the “Data Sharing Agreement”); and (b) a Sub-Lease in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B allowing for the continued post-Closing use and occupancy of that portion of the Leased premises by the Publishing Entities on the terms and conditions set forth therein (the “Sub-Lease”).

SECTION 5.16. Seller Employees.

(a)		For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that Purchaser shall not be obligated to offer employment to, hire or otherwise employ any current or former employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates. Further, Purchaser is not assuming, not shall it be responsible for any severance, stay bonus or any other similar or equivalent compensation arrangement or obligation with respect to any present or former employee of Seller or its Affiliates.

(b)		Purchaser shall not be responsible with respect to any current or former employees of Seller or its Affiliates or any such employee’s beneficiaries for compliance with WARN or any other law, including any requirement to provide for and discharge any and all notifications, benefits and liabilities to such employees or any applicable Governmental Entity that might be imposed as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise.
