(“Public Shareholders”) have received, or have had irrevocably set aside for them, an amount that is equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of the public offering’s price per share times the number of SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES that they purchased pursuant to the public offering and which they still hold at the time of the Distribution, adjusted for splits, dividends recapitalizations and the like; and

	1.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

  

	 	a.	Sole Owner: Owner represents and warrants to Purchaser that Owner is the sole and exclusive author and proprietor, throughout the world, of that certain unpublished original screenplay written by Owner currently entitled “Lydia Slotnick Unplugged” (the “Work”), and that Owner owns and controls the rights granted herein to Purchaser, inclusive of all copyrights therein. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the definition of Work shall not include the original musical compositions “You Make Me Wanna Fly”  by Andrew Craft & Steve Conte, and "“The Rules Of The Game” by Andrew Craft & Doug Lubahn, or derivative musical works thereof, as they are now entitled or may be entitled in the future.

  

	 	b.	Prior Uses: Owner represents and warrants to Purchaser that the Work has not been published in any place in the world, and that no other copyright relating to the Work has been effected, no other registration relating to copyright protection thereof has been made effective and no other registration relating to copyright protection thereof has been made.

  

	 	c.	Copyright Information: Owner represents and warrants that the copyright information set forth in paragraph 1a. and 1b. above is true and correct.

  

	 	d.	Prior Versions: Owner represents and warrants that no motion picture or dramatic version of the Work or any part thereof has been authorized or produced; no development or production based on the Work or any part thereof has been authorized, produced, presented or broadcast on radio or television; and no written or oral agreement or commitment whatsoever with respect to the Work or any rights therein have heretofore been made or entered into by or on behalf of Owner; none of the rights herein granted and assigned, or purported to be granted and assigned, to Purchaser have been granted or assigned to any other person.

  

	 	e.	No Infringement or Violation of Third Party Rights: Owner represents and warrants that the Work is not adapted from any other literary, dramatic or other material of any kind or nature nor does the Work copy or use the plot, scenes, sequences, story or characters of any other literary, dramatic or other material; that the Work does not infringe upon any statutory or common law rights in any other literary, dramatic or other materials; that no material in the Work is libelous or violative of the rights of privacy or any other rights of any other person and the full use of the rights in the Work herein granted to Purchaser will not violate any rights of any person; and that the Work is not in the public domain in any country in the world where copyright protection is available. Owner’'s representation and warranties do not extend to changes made to the Work by Purchaser, and Purchaser indemnifies Owner on the same terms as set forth above with regard to any such changes made to the Work.

  

	 	f.	No Impairment of Rights: Owner represents and warrants to Purchaser that Owner is the exclusive proprietor throughout the world of the rights in the Work herein granted to Purchaser; that Owner has not assigned, licensed or in any manner encumbered or impaired said rights; that Owner has not committed or omitted to do any act by which the rights might be diminished or impaired; and that there is no outstanding claim or litigation pending against the title, ownership or copyright of the Work or any part thereof or in the rights therein. Owner further represents and warrants that no attempt hereafter will be made to encumber, diminish or impair any of the rights herein granted and that all appropriate protection of such rights will continue to be maintained by Owner.

  

 

	2.	COMPENSATION FOR SCREENPLAY 

  

	 	a.	Option: Owner grants to Purchaser an exclusive option to purchase the sole and exclusive motion picture and other rights set forth in Paragraphs 5 and 6 herein. As full consideration, and without any reservations as to the sufficiency thereof, Purchaser agrees to pay and Owner agrees to accept the sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200) (the “Option Fee”), applicable against the purchase price set forth below.  The initial term of the Option shall be for six (6) months (the “Option Term”) commencing as of the date set forth above. At Purchaser’s discretion, the

  

 

	 	a.	Option Term may be extended for up to two additional, consecutive periods each equal to three (3) months, provided that written notice is sent to Owner prior to the end of the then current Option Term accompanied by an additional Option Fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100) for each such extension, all of which shall be applicable against the “Purchase Price,” as further described below. If, after one year, Purchaser has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a securities offering to produce the Work, then the Option Term may be extended by Purchaser on a running basis for up to eight (8) additional, consecutive three (3) month terms upon notice to Owner and payment of an additional Option Fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100) for each three (3) month extension of the Option Term as exercised by Purchaser.

  

	 	b.	Purchase Price: If Purchaser elects to exercise its Option to purchase the rights set forth herein, Purchaser shall give Owner written notice of Purchaser’s election, and shall pay to Owner the Purchase Price, reduced by the sum of the Option Fee(s). The Purchase Price shall be Two and One/Half Percent (2.5%) of the “Production Budget”, measured as of the commencement of principal photography excluding financing fees, bonds, bonding fees, contingency, and all compensation paid to Owner, except in no event shall the Purchase Price be less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000).  If at the time of exercise of Purchaser’s option, the Production Budget is not set, then the minimum amount set forth above will be paid to Owner upon exercise of the Option and adjusted as necessary upon commencement of principle photography.

  

	 	c.	Contingent Compensation: If Purchaser or its assignee produces a motion picture materially based on the Work, and Owner is not in breach of this Agreement, then in addition to the compensation set forth above, Purchaser shall pay to Owner additional, contingent compensation (“Contingent Compensation”) equal to two Percent (2%) of One Hundred Percent (100%) of Purchaser’s (Common Shareholders’) cash distribution, if any, earned and received by Purchaser from exploitation of the first motion picture based on the Work only if Owner receives sole screenplay credit. If Owner receives shared screenplay credit, then Owner shall receive One Percent of One Hundred Percent (1% of 100%) of Purchaser’s (Common Shareholders’). Purchaser’s (Common Shareholders’) cash distribution shall be defined, calculated and payable pursuant to the same definition and calculation as contained in the agreement between Purchaser or its assignee and the motion picture’s financing entity, a copy of which will be provided to Owner.

  

	 	d.	Payment: With respect to any payment to be made to Owner hereunder, it is expressly agreed that should Purchaser fail to make such payment as herein provided due to a force majeure type event, then Purchaser shall not be deemed in default hereunder, and will have a reasonable opportunity to cure such failure.  Payments to Owner hereunder will be made by check(s) drawn on Purchaser’s (or its assignee’s) bank account.

  

 

	3.	INDEMNIFICATION 

 Owner does hereby agree at all times to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless of and from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or causes of action arising out of or in connection with any breach or claim of breach of any of Owner’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements herein contained. Owner’s obligations under this section relate only to the rights in the Work acquired by Purchaser hereunder and not to any changes or additions which are made by Purchaser in the exercise of the rights granted Purchaser hereunder. As to such changes or additions, Purchaser shall indemnify Owner on the same basis as set forth above.

 

 

	4.	REVERSION/TURNAROUND 

 If, at the expiration of any Option Term Purchaser has not exercised its rights either to extend the Option Term or to purchase the rights, both as hereinabove provided, all rights previously granted to Purchaser in the Work, unless agreed to otherwise, shall revert back to Owner and Owner shall retain all Option Fees paid.

 

 

	5.	RIGHTS GRANTED

 It is agreed that all rights granted to Purchaser herein may be exercised by Purchaser with respect to all drafts, revisions, adaptations, arrangements, dramatizations, translations (to the extent Owner is able to obtain such rights) and other versions of the Work which may heretofore have been written or which may hereafter be written by or with the authority of Owner.  It is further agreed that Purchaser shall be under no obligation to exercise or put to use any of the rights acquired by Purchaser hereunder and that Purchaser may exercise any one or more of said rights at any time.

 

	8.	CREDIT 

 If no other screenwriter is engaged by Purchaser to provide services on the screenplay, Owner will be granted an on-screen, single card “Written By” credit in the main credits. If additional writers are engaged to work on the Work and/or if the motion picture is produced pursuant to an applicable agreement, then the screenwriting credit may be adjusted by Purchaser to take into account the contributions of other writers and/or the protocols set forth in the applicable agreement. Unless otherwise required by the protocols of an applicable agreement, Owner is guaranteed no less than shared writing credit. Owner will be granted the aforesaid credits in all print and other promotions of the motion picture, excluding only award ads and other standard industry exclusions. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the parties agree that any accidental or inadvertent failure by Purchaser to grant any of the credits provided for herein shall not be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

 

	9.	PUBLICITY 

 All publicity, paid advertisements, press notices, or other information with respect to the exploitation of any of the rights granted hereunder by Owner to Purchaser shall be under the sole control of Purchaser, and Owner shall not consent and/or authorize any person or entity to release such information without the express prior written approval of Purchaser.

 Owner acknowledges that during any and all applicable Option Terms, Purchaser may undertake development, preproduction and production activities in connection with any of the rights to be acquired hereunder.

 

	11.	OPTION PERIOD RESTRICTIONS 

 During any and all applicable Option Terms, Owner shall not exercise or otherwise utilize any of the rights herein granted to Purchaser nor the rights reserved to Owner; nor shall Owner permit the use of or use any other rights reserved to Owner in a way that would in any manner or for any purpose unfairly compete, interfere, or conflict with the full and unrestricted use of the rights herein granted to Purchaser.

 

	12.	COPYRIGHT OF WORK 

 If the Work is hereafter published in any territory, Owner shall take and complete any and all steps and proceedings, required by law of any territory within which such publication occurs, to secure copyright in the Work, to prevent the Work from falling into the public domain by reason of such publication and to reserve for Purchaser all rights in any such publication granted to Purchaser hereunder.  Owner shall take such steps and proceedings as may be necessary to renew or extend any and all copyrights now or hereafter secured upon the Work.  As a material part of the consideration moving to Purchaser for its execution of this Agreement, Owner, without the payment of any further consideration by Purchaser, shall (promptly upon any such renewal or extension) assign to Purchaser, for such renewed or extended term, all of the rights in the Work which are granted to Purchaser under this Agreement.  Owner hereby waives the provisions of Sections 203 and 304(c) of Title 17 of the U.S. Code, if either of said Sections is applicable, to the maximum extent permitted by law.  If Owner has the right to and does exercise any termination rights under either of said Sections, then Purchaser shall, nonetheless, have the right of first negotiation and first refusal rights with respect to any proposal by Owner to grant any other person any of the rights herein granted Purchaser.

 

	13.	ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION 

 Owner agrees to execute and procure any other and further instruments necessary to convey, assign and copyright the rights in the Work herein granted by Owner to Purchaser in any territory throughout the world.  If it shall be necessary under the laws of any territory that copyright registration be acquired in the name of Owner, Purchaser is hereby authorized by Owner to apply for said copyright registration in the name of Owner; and, in such event, owner shall and does hereby assign and transfer the same unto Purchaser, subject to the rights in the Work reserved hereunder by Owner.
Owner further agrees, upon request, duly to execute, acknowledge, procure and deliver to Purchaser such short form assignments as may be requested by Purchaser for the purpose of recording copyright ownership (or other bona fide purpose), in the United States or elsewhere.

 

	14.	INSTITUTION OF LEGAL ACTION 

 Owner does hereby grant to Purchaser the free and unrestricted right, but at Purchaser’s own cost and expense, to institute in the name and on behalf of Owner any and all suits and proceedings at law or in equity to enjoin and restrain any infringement of the rights herein granted; and Owner does hereby assign and set over unto Purchaser any and all cause or causes of action arising or resulting by reason of or based upon such infringement or infringements, and Owner does hereby assign and set over unto Purchaser any and all recoveries obtained in any such action.  Owner agrees that Owner will not compromise, settle or in any manner interfere with any such litigation, if brought, and Purchaser does hereby agree to indemnify and save harmless
Owner from any costs or damages which Owner may suffer as a direct result of any such suits or proceedings, except to the extent, if any, that any such suit or proceeding is the result of a breach by Owner of Owner’s representations, warranties or agreements hereunder.

 

	15.	DVD 

 Purchaser shall provide Owner with one DVD of the picture when commercially available, if ever.

 

 

	16.	ATTORNEY-IN-FACT 

 Owner agrees duly to acknowledge, execute and deliver (or to procure same) any and all further instruments relating to the origin, copyright ownership, clearances of privacy and personality rights, and Purchaser’s enforcement of rights granted to Purchaser herein, that Purchaser reasonably deems necessary or expedient to carry out and effectuate such purposes.  If Owner fails to do so, however, Purchaser shall have the right, and Owner hereby appoints Purchaser or its nominee, as Owner’s irrevocable attorney-in-fact and coupled with an interest, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and file (or to produce others to do so) such further instruments as Purchaser deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect, defend or enforce Purchaser’s rights hereunder.  Purchaser shall have the benefit of all of Owner's right, title and interest in and to any agreements, assignments, releases and other instruments in writing heretofore or hereafter executed in favor of Owner, if any, insofar as any said documents purport to grant or grant Owner any of the rights herein granted to Purchaser, together with the full benefit of any representation, warranty or agreement made by any other person in favor of Owner. For clarification, Purchaser’s power-of-attorney granted herein does not extend to the execution by Purchaser of motion picture financing or distribution agreements on behalf of Owner that would make Owner a direct party to such agreements.

 

	17.	ASSIGNMENT 

 Purchaser may assign, transfer, license, delegate or grant all or any part of its rights, privileges, and property hereunder to any person.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.  In the event Purchaser shall sell or assign all of its right, title, and interest in and to the Work, and in the event such transferee shall assume all of the executory obligations of Purchaser as of the date of such transfer, Purchaser shall be, and is hereby, released from all further obligations to Owner hereunder accruing from and after the date of such transfer.

 

	18.	MISCELLANEOUS 

  

	 	a.	Member of Public: Neither Purchaser’s entering into this Agreement, nor anything herein contained, nor submission of the Work to Purchaser shall put Purchaser in a worse position with respect to the Work and rights therein than Purchaser would otherwise have been in as a member of the general public.

  

	 	b.	Entire Understanding; Governing Law: This Agreement, including the exhibits attached hereto: (i) Contains the full and complete understanding of the parties and supersedes all other agreements between the parties whether written or oral with respect to the subject matter hereof; (ii) Shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its choice of law rules.  Owner agrees that venue for any claims arising from this Agreement will be a court of competent jurisdiction within King County, Washington.

  

	 	c.	Waiver: No waiver by either party of any breach hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach hereof.  Purchaser shall not be liable for any breach of this Agreement unless it shall have received written notice from Owner of such breach and shall not, within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, have cured such breach.

  

	 	d.	Relationship: Nothing herein contained shall constitute a partnership between or joint venture by the parties hereto, or constitute either party the agent of the other.  Neither party shall hold itself out contrary to the terms of this paragraph, and neither party shall become liable for the representation, act, or omission of the other, contrary to the provisions hereof. This Agreement is not for the benefit of any third party and shall not be deemed to give any right or remedy to any third party, whether referred to herein or not.

  

	 	e.	Severability: Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed so as to require the commission of any act contrary to law, and wherever there is any conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any material statute, law, ordinance, order or regulation contrary to which the parties have no legal right to contract, the latter shall prevail, but in such event, any provision of this Agreement so effected shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring it within the legal requirements; provided, however, that no other provision of this Agreement shall be affected thereby and such other provision shall continue in full force and effect.

  

	 	f.	Section Headings: Section headings are for convenience only and shall not be deemed part of this Agreement or used to construe it or otherwise be given any legal effect.

  

 

	 	g.	Attorney’s Fees: If an action is brought in connection with this agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to collect from the losing party all reasonable legal fees and costs incurred therein.

  

	 	h.	Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts which may be delivered by email or facsimile signature, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one original document.
