Dear ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇

This letter of intent (this “Letter”) sets forth the terms of a proposed acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by LiveXLive Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LXL Media”), or its subsidiary (“LXL Subsidiary” and together with LXL Media, “Buyer”), of 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Custom Personalization Solutions, LLC (the “Company”).

This Letter shall constitute a binding agreement and create legally enforceable obligations against the parties with respect to the Acquisition in accordance with the terms thereof, regardless of whether the Parties later execute or fail to execute the Definitive Agreement (as defined below). The closing of the Acquisition shall be subject to approval by the Board of Directors of Buyer and the Company (which shall be obtained prior to execution of the Definitive Agreement) and satisfactory completion of business and legal due diligence by Buyer.

Part I of this Letter summarizes the principal terms of the proposed Acquisition. Part II of this Letter contains certain terms, conditions and covenants. The Parties shall fully cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to prepare, execute and deliver a definitive agreement with respect to the Acquisition on the terms herein (the “Definitive Agreement”) and all other documents necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated hereunder as soon as possible and to thereafter satisfy each of the conditions to the closing specified thereunder, subject to Section 14 of the Part II below. Buyer will prepare the initial draft of the Definitive Agreement.

PART I

The following paragraphs of this Letter are legally binding and enforceable agreements of Buyer, Company and Sellers.

1. BASIC TRANSACTION

Buyer will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company from the holders thereof (collectively, “Sellers”) via a membership interest purchase agreement or a reverse triangular merger (or some other mutually agreed upon structure) in consideration for $6,000,000 worth of LXL Media’s shares of restricted common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), subject to a working capital adjustment to be determined after diligence and subject to the below requirements (the “Purchase Price”). The Shares shall be priced based on the Volume-Weighted Average Closing Price (as defined below) and shall be subject to a lock-up period of 12 months from the closing date, such that no Shares can be sold, transferred, assigned, hypothecated, or in any way disposed of, or any right or interest therein, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, or by gift or otherwise prior to the expiration of such period.

Buyer will deliver $4,500,000 worth of Shares at closing. Buyer will deliver remaining $1,500,000 worth of Shares if (i) the Company reports GAAP revenue of $20,000,000 and $1,000,000 of EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2020, and (ii) at the closing of the Acquisition, the Company’s target working capital is $2,700,000 (including $800,000 of cash) and the Company has no more than $1,300,000 in debt.

At closing, ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (the “Escrow Amount”) shall be deducted from the closing payment and placed into an escrow account to provide a ready source of funds in the event of any adjustments and to secure the performance of Sellers’ obligations under the Definitive Agreement. The Escrow Amount will be paid to the Sellers twelve (12) months after the date of closing, other than amounts with respect to outstanding and bona fide indemnification claims as of the end of such 12-month period, which amounts will be distributed when such claims have been resolved.

“Volume-Weighted Average Closing Price” means the volume-weighted (based on the number of shares of LXL Media’s common stock traded on each day that the closing price is used in this calculation) average of the closing sale prices per share of LXL Media’s common stock on the securities exchange or automated quotation system where LXL Media’s common stock is then listed or quoted, as applicable, for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day immediately preceding the closing of the Acquisition.”

2. NON-COMPETITION AND SOLICITATION AGREEMENTS

The Definitive Agreement shall contain non-competition and non-solicitation provisions binding upon each Seller and his, her or its affiliates and such officers and employees of the Company (subject to applicable laws and regulations and such officers and employees completing new employment agreements) as Buyer may reasonably require (the “Restricted Parties”), pursuant to which the Restricted Parties would agree, for the three (3) year period (in respect of Sellers’ covenants) and for the one (1) year period (in respect of the officers and employees’ covenants) following the closing, not to be involved in any respect with any business in direct competition with the music streaming and live music events, festival and merchandising business of the Company and its subsidiaries (as of the closing) and not to directly or indirectly solicit, recruit or hire employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (as of the closing) (subject to customary exceptions for general solicitation).

The general survival period for fundamental business and operational representations and warranties would be twenty-four (24) months. The general survival period for tax related representations and warranties would be the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The Definitive Agreement will contain customary limitations on indemnification for a transaction of this nature.
