BUSINESS GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS Harmony Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 5, 1991, and currently conducts its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary The End, Inc. ("The End") which in turn operates one or more of its own subsidiaries and a 49% 2 minority ownership interest in Curious Pictures Corporation ("Curious Pictures") with the remaining 51% interest of Curious Pictures owned by iNTELEFILM Corporation("iNTELEFILM"), the Company's largest shareholder. The Company also owns a 10% interest in Harry Nash Film Productions f/k/a The End(London), Ltd. ("The End (London)") based in London. Effective July 1, 1999, the Company sold 90% of the stock of The End (London). Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "Company" includes Harmony Holdings, Inc. and all of its direct and indirect majority-owned subsidiaries of Harmony Holdings, Inc. at the time of reference. For periods after August 1, 1999, the reference to "Company" does not include Curious Pictures, a 49% owned subsidiary of Harmony Holdings, Inc. On June 29, 2000, the Company changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 5501 Excelsior Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416. Its telephone number is (612) 925-8840. However, the Company's principal production offices are located in Los Angeles and New York. See "Item 2. Properties." ANNOUNCEMENT OF iNTELEFILM'S TENDER OFFER On March 23, 2000, iNTELEFILM, the Company's largest shareholder, announced its intention to commence a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of the Company that its does not already own. iNTELEFILM announced that it will offer to exchange 1 share of its common stock for every 13.75 shares of the Company's common stock tendered. In the event that iNTELEFILM acquires 90% of the Company's common stock, iNTELEFILM intends to perform a short-form merger with Harmony, whereby each outstanding share of Harmony common stock not tendered would be converted into the same number of iNTELEFILM shares as set forth in the tender offer. If iNTELEFILM is successful in acquiring such shares, the Company will no longer be an independent financial reporting entity. RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS Until the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Company operated through four principal subsidiaries. Three of these principal subsidiaries, Harmony Pictures, Inc. a/k/a Chemistry Pictures ("Harmony Pictures"), The End, and The End (London), Ltd., were wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the fourth subsidiary, Curious Pictures, was a 99% owned subsidiary. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Company initiated a company-wide reorganization to relocate offices, consolidate financial and accounting functions, and otherwise restructured the operations of the Company. As part of its reorganization, the Company closed the operations of Harmony Pictures and sold 90% of the stock of The End (London). The first subsidiary that the Company closed was Harmony Pictures. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, Harmony Pictures incurred an operating loss of $1,625,000. When Harmony Pictures losses continued by incurring an additional operating loss of $595,000 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company decided to discontinue the operations of Harmony Pictures, and to dissolve Harmony Pictures. The dissolution and winding up of Harmony Pictures was initiated and completed during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999 and, as a result of the termination of the operations of Harmony Pictures, the Company recognized a loss of $2,215,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999 due to the write-off of assets related to assets of that subsidiary. 3 In furtherance of the Company's restructuring, effective July 1, 1999, the Company sold 90% of its issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of The End (London), to Julia Reed, the executive producer of The End (London). The Company retained all rights to The End (London) name and logo. In connection with the sale of stock, the Company and Ms. Reed entered into an agreement granting Ms. Reed the right to purchase the remaining 10% equity interest in The End (London) for approximately $803,000. The End(London) is now known as the Harry Nash Film Productions, Ltd. SALE OF 51% CURIOUS PICTURES UNDER THE OPTION AND SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT. Although not part of its planned reorganization, the Company's interest in another of its principal subsidiaries was reduced on August 1, 1999. Effective August 1, 1999, iNTELEFILM purchased one share of the Company's common stock and the stock purchase rights under that certain Option and Share Transfer Agreement ("Option Agreement") that had been in effect since December 1996 between the Company and the four principal executives of Curious Pictures (collectively "Curious Management") from Curious Management for a total of $3,000,000, one-half of which was paid in cash and the balance by delivery of a promissory note, which was subsequently paid in full. Under the Option Agreement, Curious Management had been earning the right to purchase 50% of the outstanding stock of Curious Pictures from the Company upon the achievement of certain financial goals. It was agreed by all parties, including the Company, that on August 1, 1999 Curious Management's rights to purchase the 50% equity interest had fully vested and were exercisable for consideration totaling $50. If on August 1, 1999 Curious Management had exercised their rights under the Option Agreement, they would have become a majority shareholder in Curious Pictures leaving the Company with no control over the operation or finances of Curious Pictures leaving the Company with no guarantee of ever receiving a return on its investment and still obligating the Company to provide financing to Curious Pictures. Furthermore, Harmony did not have the financial resources to acquire the option rights itself. After iNTELEFILM acquired the stock purchase rights from Curious Management, it exercised the stock purchase rights under the Option Agreement and acquired both the 1% interest owned by Curious Management and an additional 50% interest in Curious Pictures. As a result, the Company currently owns 49% of the outstanding stock of Curious Pictures and iNTELEFILM owns the remaining 51% of the stock. The intrinsic value of the stock options transferred under the option and share transfer agreement was ultimately determined by iNTELEFILM'S purchase of the agreement and one additional share of Curious Picture's common stock from Curious Management for consideration totaling $3,000,000. This aggregate consideration was valued at $2,700,000 for the options for 50 shares and $300,000 for one share. The one share was given a slightly higher incremental value as it represents the marginal share for a majority ownership. Accordingly, the Company recognized $2,700,000 of stock options compensation through June 30, 1999. Concurrently with the purchase of stock by iNTELEFILM, Curious Pictures entered into a new five-year employment agreement with each of the four members of Curious Management. As part of the compensation to be paid to Curious Management, each member of Curious Management was granted the right to purchase from the Company for $1.00 one share (representing 1% of the capital stock of Curious Pictures) of the 49 shares (representing the remaining 49% equity interest of Curious Pictures owned by the Company) at the end of each employment year. As a result, if all of the members of Curious Management exercise all of the new options over the five-year term of their employment agreements, iNTELEFILM will own 51% of the Curious Pictures stock, Curious Management will collectively own 20%, and the Company will own the remaining 29%. Pursuant to that certain Curious Stock Agreement, effective as of August 1, 1999, between iNTELEFILM and Curious Management, the members of Curious Management were granted the right to sell to iNTELEFILM the shares of Curious Pictures that they earn from the Company (the put right), and iNTELEFILM obtained the right to purchase such shares from Curious Management (the call right). The price per share to be paid by iNTELEFILM to Curious Management for each share under the put and call rights is $96,774 per share. 4 CONTINUING OPERATIONS AFTER REORGANIZATION As a result of the closure of Harmony Pictures, the sale of The End (London), and the decrease in the Company's ownership interest in Curious Pictures, the Company's operations are now conducted solely through The End (and the subsidiaries of The End), and the Company's principal source of revenues during the transition period beginning July 1, 1999 and ending December 31, 1999 ("Transition Period") were derived from the operations of The End. Although the Company does not currently expect that its operating relationship with Curious Pictures will materially change as a result of the decrease in its equity ownership of Curious Pictures, the revenues and expenses of Curious Pictures are no longer reflected on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. As a 49% owner of Curious Pictures, commencing August 1, 1999, only 49% of any income(loss) generated by Curious Pictures will be reflected on the Company's financial statements. During the Transition Period, The End generated revenues of $18,487,000 and operating loss of $601,000, whereas Curious Pictures generated revenues of $12,226,000 and operating income of $640,000. Further, The End's operations in the period subsequent to December 31, 1999 have been adversely affected as a result of a variety of factors including the Screen Actor's Guild ("SAG") strike which began May 1, 2000, a change in management, and the current negotiations of several commercial director agreements. For the period from January 1, 2000 to June 30, 2000, The End generated revenues of $14,195,000 and had an operating loss of $2,049,000. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The Company's primary business during the past few years and its on-going business continues to be the production of television commercials. Contracts for the production of television commercials are generally awarded based on the personal relationships between the advertising agency, the advertiser and the television commercial production company. The expertise, reputation and creative vision of the commercial director roster and ability of the production company to deliver the commercial in an efficient manner defines the production company's role. The Company has established the base to expand the role of the production company within the industry. The Company's customers are typically advertising agencies acting on behalf of a television advertiser. The Company maintains excellent relationships with many of the major advertising agencies. The Company currently has a roster of approximately 12 commercial directors with specialties in varied advertising categories. The Company continues to maintain excellent relationships with its advertisers and has produced commercials for national advertisers such as: Chrysler, Mazda, Coca-Cola, Renault, Lenscrafters, Cannon, Dr. Pepper, Barbie, Target, Excedrin, Mitsubishi, Motorola and BMW. COMMERCIAL TELEVISION PRODUCTION INDUSTRY The markets for television commercials consist of national/regional television networks, regional television stations or syndication and national cable networks. Within each of these markets there exist sub markets based on the nature of the advertiser - national or multi-national companies versus local businesses and high and low budget commercials. Over the past few years, the national advertising and commercial production industry has experienced a dramatic increase in the number of markets for television commercials. 5 MARKETING AND SALES STRATEGY Traditionally, the Company's marketing efforts have focused on national and multi-national advertisers, national network commercials and higher budget commercials. Generally, the Company's budgeted price for a commercial ranges from $100,000 to $400,000 and occasionally in excess of $1,000,000 with many of the newer younger commercial directors at the lower end of the range and the more experienced commercial directors at the higher end of the range. The Company believes that as the newer younger commercial directors enhance their skills, it will be able to produce higher quality, higher revenue commercials. The Company's services are marketed by a staff of sales representatives who seek out available commercial projects suitable for the Company's commercial directors. These efforts are usually directed towards advertising agencies located in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, San Francisco, Minneapolis and other regional markets. Some of the sales representatives are employees of the Company and others are independent contractors. Currently, the Company is in the process of negotiating new sales representation agreements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such sales representatives or that the terms of such agreements will be favorable to the Company. To sell the commercial director's work, the sales staff uses its primary tool - the commercial director's reel. This reel is a visual "resume" containing samples of a particular commercial director's work (most frequently in the form of commercials) demonstrating the commercial director's creativity and experience. Several reels are developed featuring its commercial directors and highlighting different creative areas and subject matter. These reels are constantly updated and provided to the ad agencies who generally act as the decision maker. The Company also advertises in trade publications and has sponsored agency events on an occasional basis to maintain visibility among advertisers and advertising agencies and to publicize specific information such as additions to the commercial directorial roster, completion of a significant commercial, or the recognition of awards and achievements. DIRECTOR RETENTION The number of commercial directors of the Company has recently decreased from 20 commercial directors as of September 1, 1999 to 12 commercial directors as of September 15, 2000. The primary decrease in the number of commercial directors is due to the expiration of commercial director agreements and the departure of commercial directors not under any contract with the Company. Currently, the Company is in the process of negotiating several commercial director agreements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain its current commercial directors or hire any new commercial directors. TELEVISION COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION The commercial production process is divided into several stages: creating the concept; bidding; pre-production; principal photography; and post-production. Commercial production companies usually enter the process at the bidding phase and leave the process prior to the post production phase. 6 THE INITIAL CONCEPT. Advertising agencies develop commercial ideas based upon the needs of their clients. These ideas are embodied in a story board written and created by the advertising agency or in some cases by the client itself. The story board combines the script and the visual story line. After the client approves the idea, the agency approaches several production companies to determine how each company and its commercial director would bring the commercial concept to fruition. It is common for the production companies to be selected for a bid based primarily on the reputation and talent of commercial directors associated with the production company. BIDDING. Personnel at the television commercial production companies analyze the commercial concept as communicated by the advertising agency. The commercial director and his/her associates at the production company determine how the story board can best be captured on film. They ascertain what subcontractors must be hired, what locations must be secured, what free-lance technical support is to be employed, what equipment is to be leased and what the total cost will be to film the commercial. During this stage, the television production company staff and the commercial director often suggest changes to the story board both to enhance the commercial and to enable the commercial to be filmed within the agency's and client's budget expectations. A final bid is then submitted to the agency. The bid includes without limitation the cost of shooting locations, actors (if applicable), technical personnel, props and sets, and other production materials. The agency selects the production company. Several factors contribute to the decision such as the commercial director's ideas about how the commercial would be shot, the bid submitted by the production company, the reputation of the commercial director and the relationship between the agency, advertiser and production company. PRE-PRODUCTION. Once the commercial is "awarded", the production company enters the pre-production period. The production company hires a line producer who works with the commercial director to produce the commercial. Locations are selected; sets are designed and built; props fabricated and/or procured, and, if applicable, characters are cast and wardrobe selected. At a formal meeting preceding the shooting days, the agency approves all of the creative choices made in preparation for filming. PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHY. Principal photography usually ranges from one day to a month depending upon the number of commercials shot and the technical complexity of the commercial. The Company engages independent contractors and crews on a commercial-by-commercial basis to perform the tasks involved in the production of the commercial. Throughout the shooting process, agency personnel approve each scene as shot. The commercial is shot on motion picture film which is later developed at a laboratory. The developed images are then viewed by the agency, the advertiser and the production company. POST-PRODUCTION. The post production process involves editing the film footage and sound (which may or may not be recorded during production) through color correcting the final video. This process may also involve voice-over, titles, music and special effects. While the commercial director may or may not be an active part of the post production process, the director of music videos generally does take on the post production responsibility. 7 Most often the agency independently edits the commercial. The commercial director may attend the editorial sessions and may be responsible for providing a first cut for the agency. The edit is then completed and approved by the agency and the client. Most typically, the Company is not involved in the post production process. FINANCING THE PRODUCTION OF COMMERCIALS Ad agencies award jobs to commercial production companies with an accompanying bid. The award bid contains all of the costs associated with that particular commercial and is broken down into direct costs of production, commercial director's fees, insurance and the production company's fee. The production company and the producer of the commercial carefully monitor costs throughout the filming process. The agreed upon bid is often altered because during the principal photography stage the agency, client and commercial director agree upon a new creative option or because of unexpected occurrences such as inclement weather. When this occurs, and the project costs exceed the original budget, the increased cost is paid for by the agency and its client. In most circumstances, the Company bills the advertising agency for 33%-70% of the entire budget as stated in the bid, to be paid in advance or on the first day of principal photography. The remainder of the contract price is generally paid in one or more installments by the agency within 30 to 120 days after completion of principal photography. Traditionally, the accounts receivable have been extremely well managed with write-offs being less than 2% of all business. MUSIC VIDEOS A smaller percentage of the Company's business is derived from the production of music videos. The production cycles for music videos is similar to that of television commercials, but the budgets are generally smaller, i.e. $50,000 to $100,000. The Company is generally involved in the post production phase of music videos. The client for music videos is usually the record company or the performer directly. Some of the performers for which the Company has produced music videos include Oasis, Trick Daddy and K.D. Lange. EMPLOYEES As of September 15, 2000, the Company had 24 employees who work on a full-time basis. Additionally, the Company had approximately 12 commercial directors, all of whom are independent contractors, and 3 sales representatives. Of such persons, 2 are officers or other senior executives of the Company. The Company does not anticipate any further material change in the number of its full-time employees in the near future. None of the Company's full-time employees are represented by a labor union and the Company believes that it has good relationships with its employees. The Company, through certain of its subsidiaries, is a party to collective bargaining agreements with the Directors Guild of America, SAG and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. Other than these collective bargaining agreements, the Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. On May 1, 2000, members of the SAG began a strike against the advertising agencies that 8 represent the Company's customer base. This on-going strike has limited the Company's ability to produce television commercials domestically. The Company has made an effort to limit the effect that the strike may have on its operations by utilizing non-union talent and producing commercials outside the United States wherever possible. To date, the Company has lost business as a result of the strike. The Company can give no assurance that an extended strike will not have a significant adverse effect on its operations and liquidity. In addition, it is possible that some of the Company's future business activities will be affected by the existence of collective bargaining agreements because many of the performing artists and technical personnel, such as cameramen and film editors, that it employs on a free-lance basis are members of unions who are parties to collective bargaining agreements. The extent to which collective bargaining agreements may affect the Company in the future is not determinable. COMPETITION The television commercial production industry is a highly fragmented multi-billion dollar industry, with most of the Company's competitors being relatively small operations. iNTELEFILM, the Company's largest shareholder, is also in the business of television commercial production and may compete with the Company. Although the Company believes that its commercial director roster and advertising agency relationships may have a competitive advantage, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully compete against its competitors. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS The Company's proprietary rights are an important part of its business. To protect its proprietary rights the Company relies on a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws as well as nondisclosure and other contractual restrictions. The Company currently holds and uses the rights to various servicemarks, including the following: Harmony Holdings, Inc.(sm); The End, Inc.(sm); The Beginning Entertainment, Inc.(sm); and The Moment Films, Inc.(sm). RISK FACTORS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT LOSSES; WORKING CAPITAL DEFICIENCIES; NEGATIVE STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND OUR INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS HAVE QUALIFIED THEIR REPORT OF ACCOUNTANTS. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, we had net losses of $4,489,000 and $8,395,000, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 1999, we had net losses of $1,136,000. In addition, as of December 31, 1999, we had a working capital deficiency of $6,320,000 and negative stockholders' equity of $3,842,000. As a result, our independent certified public accountants have qualified their report on our financial statements for the year ending June 30, 1999 and for the period ending December 31, 1999 and have raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Although we have completed our reorganization and believe that we have corrected many of the problems that caused these historical losses, we continue to operate at a loss and there can be no assurance that we will ever be able to operate profitably in the future. Furthermore, if we are unable to solve our current financial difficulties, we may have to cease operations or otherwise be liquidated. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO REPAY OUR INDEBTEDNESS. Through early March 2000, we had funded a portion of our working capital needs through a revolving line of credit with Finova Capital Corporation ("Finova"), 9 an unaffiliated institutional lender, which provided for borrowings of up to $4.5 million, based on acceptable accounts receivable. The Finova credit facility was guaranteed by iNTELEFILM. In March 2000, Finova terminated this line of credit due to an event of default by us under the loan agreement. We subsequently repaid our indebtedness to Finova in full. In addition, as of June 30, 2000, we had borrowed $3.2 million from iNTELEFILM pursuant to demand promissory notes. The iNTELEFILM notes bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum and are due and payable on demand. On March 23, 2000, iNTELEFILM demanded payment in full of the loans it had made to us. iNTELEFILM subsequently granted us a forbearance of our payment demand for an indeterminate amount of time in order to enable our independent directors to evaluate our position and possible alternatives. No assurance can be given that we will be able to repay the iNTELEFILM loans. In addition to the $3.2 million, as of September 7, 2000, iNTELEFILM has provided us with working capital of $2.5 million. There is no assurance that we will be able to repay the working capital provided by iNTELEFILM when such amount is declared to be due and payable. In the event iNTELEFILM is successful in its announced tender offer, the substantial indebtedness owed to iNTELEFILM will be eliminated. In the event iNTELEFILM is not successful in its tender offer, the substantial indebtedness owed to iNTELEFILM will remain due and payable and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to repay such indebtedness when such amount is declared to be due and payable. In August 2000, we, in conjunction with iNTELEFILM, entered into an accounts-receivable based loan and security agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GE Capital"). This loan and security agreement provides for borrowings for working capital under a revolving line of credit with availability based on acceptable accounts receivable. The line of credit bears interest at a variable rate (10.24% at September 8, 2000) and all parties to the agreement cross-collateralize all borrowings. No assurance can be given that we will be able to repay such loan when such loan is declared due and payable. The Company currently has a negative cash flow from operations and, accordingly, does not have the financial ability to repay the loan. WE NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO OPERATE OUR BUSINESS AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL FINANCING. During the past two fiscal years and the Transition Period, we have not generated positive cash flow from operations. Our capital needs have been met by loans we have obtained under lending facilities and from loans made to us by iNTELEFILM. We may need to raise additional debt or equity funds to repay our current outstanding loans and to fund our future operations. Under the loan agreement with GE Capital, we can only borrow against our eligible accounts receivable and as a result, we need additional funds to operate our business. To date, iNTELEFILM has provided us with the working capital we will need through loans and advances. However, there can be no assurance that iNTELEFILM will make any additional loans or provide any additional working capital to us or that additional debt or equity financing will be available from third party sources on terms favorable to us, or at all; however, management believes that such advances will continue as necessary through January 1, 2001. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund our operations, repay our current indebtedness or further develop our business. Any such inability would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE. Our Common Stock has experienced significant price volatility and such volatility may continue to occur in the future. For the six months ending December 31, 1999, our stock fluctuated from $1.094 to $.125. Factors that could affect the trading price of the Common Stock include variations in quarterly results of operations, our announcements of new projects or our competitors, developments or disputes with respect to proprietary rights, general trends in the industry, overall market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market historically has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which at times have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of certain companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. 10 OUR COMMON STOCK IS THINLY TRADED, CREATING POSSIBLE LIQUIDITY PROBLEMS FOR SHAREHOLDERS WHO SEEK TO SELL. In February 1999, our common stock was removed from listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading volume of stock on the OTC Bulletin Board tends to be less regular then other markets, which irregular trading can create a difficulty for shareholders seeking to sell their shares. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that our common stock will ever be actively traded on the OTC Bulletin Board market or that, if active trading does develop, it will be sustained. OUR TELEVISION COMMERCIAL DIRECTORS AND OTHER KEY PERSONNEL COULD LEAVE, IMPAIRING OUR DEVELOPMENT AND PROFITABILITY. We believe that our development and ability to operate profitably in the television commercial production industry depends on the hiring and continued engagement or employment of television commercial directors and other key personnel. While we have entered into various agreements with such persons, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain such talent or that such talent will fulfill their obligations to us. Such persons could leave and compete against us in the industry. Since September 1, 1999 to September 15, 2000, the number of commercial directors has decreased from 20 to 12. Although we are currently negotiating several commercial director agreements, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain such commercial directors or that the terms of any such agreements will be favorable to the Company. THE SCREEN ACTORS GUILD STRIKE AND OTHER LABOR DISPUTES COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS. On May 1, 2000, members of the SAG began a strike against the advertising agencies that represent our customer base. This on-going strike has limited our ability to produce television commercials domestically. We have made an effort to limit the effect that the strike may have on our operations by utilizing non-union talent and producing commercials outside of the United States wherever possible. To date, we have lost business as a result of the strike. We can give no assurance that an extended strike will not have a significant adverse affect on our operations and liquidity. In addition, it is possible that some of our future business activities will be affected by the existence of collective bargaining agreements because many of the performing artists and technical personnel, such as cameramen and film editors, that we employ on a free-lance basis are members of unions who are parties to collective bargaining agreements. There can be no assurance that our future business activities will not be adversely affected as a result of any collective bargaining agreements. OUR COMPETITION; CHANGING TECHNOLOGIES AND TRENDS MAY SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS. We face stiff competition from many qualified commercial production companies and commercial directors. We do not have any long-term contracts and must continually bid on new projects to generate revenues and support our overhead expenses. As a result, we must continually compete with our competitors for additional revenues. iNTELEFILM, is also in the business of television commercial production and may compete against us. In addition, the demand for commercial directors with certain talents in the commercial industry continually change reflecting changes in marketing styles, and technological changes, such as computer enhancements and other technical advances, also change the type of commercial directors that are in demand for producing television commercials. Unless we are able to continuously hire commercial directors with the talents that are demanded by our advertisers, our business and operations will be adversely affected. No assurance can be given that we will have the talent that is required to be able to successfully bid on the number of television commercials that are required for us to continue our operations. OUR ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS MAY PREVENT A CHANGE OF CONTROL. Certain provisions of our Certificate of 11 Incorporation (the "Charter") and Bylaws (the "Bylaws") and certain provisions of Delaware law could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire or take control of us. Such provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Common Stock. These provisions require super-majority approval to amend certain provisions in the Charter and Bylaws, require that all stockholder actions be taken at a duly called annual or special meetings and not by written consent, and impose various procedural and other requirements that could make it more difficult for stock holders to effect certain corporate action. Further, we are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibit us from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder," unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The application of Section 203 could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us. YEAR 2000 ISSUES MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE ON OUR BUSINESS. As of September 1, 2000, we have not experienced and we do not anticipate any material adverse effects on our equipment, systems and operations as a result of Year 2000 issues. However, our failure, or the failure of our vendors, suppliers or other critical third parties with whom we conduct business to achieve Year 2000 compliance on a timely basis could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

The lease is for ten years ending in August 2009 at a monthly rate of $9,282,00. Although these facilities are currently sufficient, there can be no assurance that the current facilities will be adequate to meet the Company's future capacity needs. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On October 20, 1999, Imperial Bank, a California banking corporation filed a lawsuit against Cinnequanon Pictures International, Inc., the Company; Jennifer Peckham, an individual and Daniel Sales, an individual in Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. BC218753. Imperial Bank alleges that the Company guaranteed $250,000 of Cinnequanon's obligations to Imperial Bank. The Company denies that it has any liability to Imperial Bank and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. Except as described above, the Company is not a party to any other material legal proceedings. From time to time the Company is a party to litigation which is incidental to its business, including administrative proceedings. ITEM 4.

16 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Statements in this report that are forward-looking are based on current expectations, and actual results may differ materially. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including, but not limited to, the possibilities that the demand for our services may decline as a result of possible changes in general and industry specific economic conditions and the effects of competitive pricing and such other risks and uncertainties as are described in this Transition Report on Form 10-K and other documents previously filed or hereafter filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the our Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Overview During the six months ended December 31, 1999, we operated through two major divisions. Each division consists of one of our subsidiaries, that subsidiary in turn operates one or more of its own subsidiaries. The two principal subsidiaries that represent the major operating divisions are The End and Curious Pictures. The End is a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. Curious Pictures operated as a majority owned subsidiary during July 1999 only. Effective August 1, 1999, our ownership of Curious Pictures' was reduced to 49% (see Note 3 to the attached financial statements). As a result, we will hereafter recognize, as an equity investment, 49% of the income or loss produced by Curious Pictures. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, we operated two additional divisions, Harmony Pictures and The End (London). Harmony Pictures discontinued operations during the second quarter of fiscal year 1999, and we sold 90% of the stock of The End (London) as of July 1, 1999 (see Note 3 to the attached financial statements). Accordingly, the results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 1998 reflect the operations of three subsidiaries that are not included in the results of operations in the current fiscal year. Results of Operations: Six Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 1998: During the six months ended December 31, 1999, revenues decreased $11,574,000 or 37% compared to the same period of 1998. Of the decrease in revenues, $8,330,000 is from the two divisions we no longer operate, while $8,081,000 is from revenues of Curious Pictures, which we no longer consolidate in our financial statements. Revenues at The End increased $4,837,000 in the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases were due primarily to The End's ability to attract and retain commercial directors. Cost of production is directly related to revenues and includes all direct costs incurred in connection with the production of television commercials and music videos including film, crews, location fees and commercial directors' fees. Cost of production as a percentage of revenues increased from approximately 86% to 88% in the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period of 17 1998. Exclusive of Curious Pictures and the two divisions we no longer operate, The End's cost of production increased from 87% during the six months ended December 31, 1998 to 88% during the six months ended December 31, 1999. With the addition of several new commercial directors, we submitted lower bids in an attempt to increase operating revenues and to gain work for newly signed commercial directors. We believe the cost of production, as a percentage of revenue, will decrease as new commercial directors become more established. Selling expenses consist of sales commissions, advertising and promotional expenses, travel and other expenses incurred in the securing of production contracts. Selling expenses totaled $757,000 in the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $1,634,000 in the same period of 1998. Of this 54% decrease during these comparative six-month periods, a $1,024,000 decrease is related to Curious Pictures and the two divisions we no longer operate while, in conjunction with increased revenues, selling expense at The End increased $147,000. General and administrative expenses consist of overhead costs such as office rent and expenses, general and administrative payroll, and related items. General and administrative expenses decreased $1,179,000 or 37% from $3,211,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1998 to $2,032,000 in the same period of 1999. General and administrative expenses increased $719,000 at The End due primarily to the increased activities at The End's subsidiaries as new commercial directors were signed. The decrease of $1,898,000 is related to Curious Pictures and the two divisions we no longer operate. The $218,000 stock option compensation expense reported during the six months ended December 31, 1998 represented a non-cash charge resulting from Curious Management earning stock options of Curious Pictures. This agreement terminated upon iNTELEFILM's exercise of the options granted (see Note 3 to the attached financial statements). Corporate charges increased $74,000 in the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to the respective six-month period in 1998. This 12% increase is due primarily to additional professional fees incurred in litigation, renegotiating employment and commercial director contracts, and negotiations with Finova regarding the line of credit (see Note 7 to the attached financial statements). Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in the six months ended December 31, 1999 by $304,000 or 64% compared to the same period in 1998. This expense decreased primarily due to the two divisions we no longer operate and Curious Pictures. As a result of the sale of 90% of our interest in The End (London) (see Note 3 to the attached financial statements), we were relieved of liabilities in excess of assets forfeited, resulting in a non-cash gain of $120,000. Interest expense net of interest income increased $91,000 during the during the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to the six months ended December 31, 1998. This increase was a result of our increased borrowings under our credit facility, as well as the interest incurred as a result of borrowings from iNTELEFILM (see Note 11 to the attached financial statements). 18 No income tax expense was reported during the six months ended December 31, 1999. Our effective income tax rate varied from the statutory federal tax rate as a result of state taxes and an increase in the valuation allowance booked against the deferred tax asset. A valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of our net deferred tax asset, as we cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets (primarily net operating loss carryforwards) will be realized. We incurred net losses of $1,136,000 and $5,348,000 for the six-month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The net losses for the six-month period ended December 31, 1998 included a one-time charge for restructuring costs and the impairment of assets related to discontinuing the operations of Harmony Pictures (see Note 12 to the attached financial statements). Year ended June 30, 1999 as compared with year ended June 30, 1998: For the year ended June 30, 1999, contract revenues increased by 24% or $12,985,000 to $66,340,000 from $53,355,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998. This increase in revenue represents revenue increases of $7.5 million by The End (London), $4.6 million by Curious Pictures, and $10.1 million by The End. These increases were due primarily to the improved resources with which the subsidiaries were able to attract and retain commercial directors. The increase in revenues at these divisions more than offset the decrease in revenues due to the discontinuance of Harmony Pictures. Revenue at Harmony Pictures decreased $9.0 million during the year ended June 30, 1999. As mentioned above, we discontinued the operations of Harmony Pictures during the second quarter of fiscal year 1999. Cost of production is directly related to revenues and includes all direct costs incurred in connection with the production of television commercials and music videos including film, crews, location fees and commercial directors' fees. Cost of production as a percentage of revenues increased from approximately 82% to 85% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 compared to fiscal year 1998. As a result of the increase in the cost of production, gross margins as a percentage of revenues decreased from 18% for the year ended June 30, 1998 to 15% in the year ended June 30, 1999. This decrease in gross margins is due to bids we submitted at lower margins than the previous year in an attempt to increase operating revenues and to gain work for newly signed commercial directors. Additionally, lower margins are realized on music videos than on television commercials. As we have taken on more music video projects in the last fiscal year, the overall margins have decreased. We believe that the cost of production as a percentage of revenue will decrease as these new commercial directors become more established. Selling expenses consist of sales commissions, advertising and promotional expenses, travel and other expenses incurred in the securing of production contracts. These expenses increased in conjunction with the increase in revenues. Selling expenses totaled $3,377,000 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 compared to $2,729,000 in the prior fiscal year, an increase of 24%. General and administrative expenses consist of overhead costs such as office rent and expenses, general and administrative payroll, and related items. General and administrative expenses decreased $1,397,000 in fiscal year 1999 to $6,635,000 as compared to $8,032,000 for fiscal year 1998. These expenses decreased 17% due in part to the cessation of operations at Harmony Pictures. General and administrative expenses at Harmony Pictures decreased $1.5 million during fiscal year 1999 due to the discontinuation of its operations, while these expenses increased slightly at the remaining three divisions. 19 Stock option compensation expense reported during the year ended June 30, 1999 was $2,234,000, an increase of $1,844,000 over the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. This expense represented a non-cash charge resulting from Curious Management earning stock options of Curious Pictures under a December 15, 1996 agreement between the Company and Curious Management. Effective August 1, 1999, this Option Agreement was purchased by iNTELEFILM. The cumulative amount of compensation expense recognized related to this agreement was $2,700,000 and is reflected as a minority interest in Curious Pictures on the accompanying balance sheet. Corporate charges decreased $922,000 or 39% from $2,379,000 in fiscal year 1998 to $1,457,000 in fiscal year 1999. This decrease was due primarily to the consolidation of the corporate offices in Minneapolis, which include the executive, accounting, and legal staff. Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the fiscal year 1999 by $182,000 or 26% compared to fiscal year 1998. Although there was an overall increase of this expense over the year, depreciation and amortization expense decreased in the last two quarters due to the disposal of depreciable assets and the impairment of goodwill resulting from the discontinuance of operations of Harmony Pictures. Upon reaching the decision to discontinue the Harmony Pictures division, management determined that the goodwill associated with the division was fully impaired. Accordingly, an impairment charge of $2,215,000 was recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Other restructuring costs of $1,142,000 were also recognized on the accompanying income statement. The restructuring costs relate to the incremental costs of discontinuing the division and primarily consist of general office closing logistics, however also include amounts which in aggregate are not significant in nature, such as severance payments, contract buyouts, lease obligations and non-refundable prepayments. Interest income decreased $71,000 and interest expense increased $389,000 during fiscal year 1999 compared to fiscal year 1998, as a result of our increased borrowings under our credit facility entered into with Freemont Capital Corporation, which subsequently transferred its interest to Finova, as well as the interest incurred as a result of borrowings from iNTELEFILM. Income tax expense decreased $11,000 from $22,000 in fiscal year 1998 to $11,000 in fiscal year 1999. Our effective income tax rate varied from the statutory federal tax rate as a result of state taxes and an increase in the valuation allowance booked against the deferred tax asset. A valuation allowance was established for the full amount of our net deferred tax asset, as we cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets (primarily net operating loss carryforwards) will be realized. The Company as a whole incurred net losses of $8,395,000 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. The losses for the year included the restructuring and asset impairment costs totaling $3,357,000 related to the discontinued operations of Harmony Pictures and the non-cash stock option compensation expense of $2,234,000 related to the Option Agreement. New Accounting Pronouncements: Statement of Financial Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133) issued by the FASB is effective for financial statements with fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 requires companies to recognize ALL derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or 20 loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. Historically, we have not entered into derivatives contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, we do not expect adoption of the new standard to affect our financial statements. In 1999 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" dealing with revenue recognition which is effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company does not expect is adoption to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN 44"), which is effective July 1, 2000. This interpretation clarifies the application of APB Opinion 25 for certain issues related to stock issued to employees. The Company believes its existing stock based compensation policies and procedures are in compliance with FIN 44 and therefore, the adoption of FIN 44 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the six months ended December 31, 1999, we incurred a net loss of $1.1 million and a cash flow from operations deficit of $2.9 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of $6.3 million and an accumulated deficit totaling $21.2 million at December 31, 1999. For nominal consideration, effective July 1, 1999, we sold 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of The End (London). Prior to this sale, The End (London) was a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, The End (London) had gross revenues of $3.7 million and $11.2 million and net losses of $591,000 and $862,000, respectively. In connection with the sale of the stock, the purchaser, under certain circumstances, may purchase the remaining 10% equity interest in The End (London) from us for approximately $803,000. As a result of this transaction, we were relieved of approximately $1.5 million in liabilities and forfeited approximately $1.3 million of assets, including $314,000 of cash. The disposal of this subsidiary has relieved us of the need to financially support this subsidiary and should improve future liquidity. Effective as of August 1, 1999, iNTELEFILM purchased, from Curious Management, the Option Agreement entered into by the Company and Curious Management dated December 15, 1996. In order to keep Curious Pictures and Curious Management together in the Company, our board of directors agreed to allow iNTELEFILM to purchase this agreement for the benefit of both parties, and consented to the final agreement whereby, immediately following the purchase of the Option Agreement, iNTELEFILM exercised these options and also acquired a 1% equity interest owned by Curious Management. As a result of this transaction, we currently own 49% of the outstanding stock of Curious Pictures and iNTELEFILM owns 51% of the stock. Prior to the acquisition, we owned 99% of the outstanding shares of Curious Pictures, and Curious Management owned 1%. By having our interest in Curious Pictures reduced to below 50%, we no longer consolidate the revenues and expenses of this division, rather we account for Curious Pictures as an equity investment. Accordingly, we now reflect on our balance sheet, an 21 investment in and an amount due to Curious Pictures, which totaled $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 1999. Prior to the aforementioned transaction, this payable was eliminated through the consolidation of Curious Pictures (See Note 3 to the attached financial statements). Through December 31, 1999, we funded a portion of our working capital needs through a revolving line of credit with Finova, an unaffiliated institutional lender, which provided for borrowings of up to $4.5 million, based on acceptable accounts receivable. The Finova credit facility was guaranteed by iNTELEFILM, the owner of approximately 55% of our outstanding common stock. In April 2000, we repaid our indebtedness to Finova in full. Independent of the notes payable to iNTELEFILM in the amount of approximately $3.2 million, we received advances from iNTELEFILM during the period from January 1, 2000 to September 7, 2000. These non-interest bearing advances are unsecured and primarily funded a portion of the line of credit pay-off and our operations. At September 7, 2000, $2.5 million of these advances remained due and payable to iNTELEFILM for a total indebtedness to iNTELEFILM of $5.7 million. Management believes that such advances will continue as necessary through January 1, 2001. In August 2000, The End, along with two subsidiaries of iNTELEFILM entered into an accounts receivable-based loan and security with GE Capital. This agreement provides for borrowings by The End for working capital under a revolving line of credit (see note 14 to the attached financial statements), thereby enabling The End to operate its business through a line of credit instead of depending solely on iNTELEFILM to fund its operations. However, this line of credit only allows The End to borrow against its eligible accounts receivable and all parties to the agreement cross-collateralize all borrowings. Therefore, there can be no assurance that such line of credit will be sufficient to fund The End's operations. As a result, we may need to seek additional outside financing to fund our operations. Although iNTELEFILM has provided us with financing in the past, there can be no assurance that iNTELEFILM will continue to provide us with additional financing or that we will be able to obtain additional financing from other third parties. Prior to this agreement being signed, our only external financing resources were our advances from and notes payable to iNTELEFILM, the repayment of such notes which iNTELEFILM demanded on March 23, 2000. On May 1, 2000, iNTELEFILM agreed to forbear its right to collect on the notes for an undetermined amount of time. No assurance can be given that we will be able to cure iNTELEFILM's note payable call at the expiration of the forbearance. Such a cure may include conversion of the iNTELEFILM notes to common stock and substantial dilution to existing shareholders. Additionally, no assurance can be given that we will be able to fund our operations without additional sources of outside financing. We continue to attempt to reduce our cash usage through work force, operating reductions and an increase in the number of our commercial directors. Primarily as a result of these items, our independent certified public accountants modified their opinion on our December 31, 1999 Consolidated Financial Statements to contain a paragraph wherein they expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 2 to the attached financial statements). In March 2000, iNTELEFILM publicly announced its future intention to effect an exchange tender offer with our stockholders to acquire all of the outstanding shares of our common stock that is not currently owned by iNTELEFILM in exchange for shares of iNTELEFILM common stock. iNTELEFILM currently owns approximately 55% of our common stock. According to its announcement, iNTELEFILM proposes to offer one share of its common stock for every 13.75 shares of our common stock. If iNTELEFILM is successful in acquiring such shares, we will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of 22 iNTELEFILM, and will no longer be an independent financial reporting entity. On May 1, 2000, members of the SAG began a strike against the advertising agencies that represent our customer base. This on-going strike has limited our ability to produce television commercials domestically. We have made an effort to limit the effect that the strike may have on our operations by utilizing non-union talent and producing commercials outside of the United States wherever possible. To date, we have lost business as a result of the strike. We can give no assurance that an extended strike will not have a significant adverse affect on our operations and liquidity. In addition, it is possible that some of our future business activities will be affected by the existence of collective bargaining agreements because many of the performing artists and technical personnel, such as cameramen and film editors, that we employ on a free-lance basis are members of unions who are parties to collective bargaining agreements. There can be no assurance that our future business activities will not be adversely affected as a result of any collective bargaining agreements. Management has taken steps to reduce our operating cash flow deficit including the 1999 disposition of most of our interest in The End (London). Although iNTELEFILM is still providing us with some financing, iNTELEFILM is not obligated to make any additional advances to us. Should iNTELEFILM cease making additional advances to us and the line of credit through GE Capital be insufficient to meet our working capital needs, we may have to seek alternative financing. If we are not able to obtain adequate financing, or financing on acceptable terms, we could be forced to further reduce or terminate our operations or potentially default on our obligations to our creditors, all of which may be materially adverse to our operations and prospects. Consolidated cash was $1,067,000 at December 31, 1999 and $2,911,000 at June 30, 1999, a decrease of $1,844,000. Although our net loss for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was $1,136,000, cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was $2,901,000. Net of the effect of the sale of The End (London) and the effect of not consolidating Curious Pictures, accounts receivable at December 31, 1999 decreased $592,000 from June 30, 1999, and other assets at December 31, 1999 increased $5,000 from June 30, 1999. Accounts payable at December 31, 1999 decreased $924,000 from June 30, 1999, other liabilities decreased $1,054,000 from June 30, 1999 to December 31, 1999, and deferred income decreased $284,000 during that same period. During the six months ended December 31, 1999, cash used in investing activities was $488,000. This represents cash used for capital expenditures incurred in the normal course of operations, and cash forfeited in the transactions involving The End (London) and Curious Pictures (see Note 3 to the attached financial statements). Cash obtained in financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 1999 was $1,545,000, which was a result of increased use of the line of credit and borrowings from iNTELEFILM. Consolidated cash was $2,911,000 at June 30, 1999 and $3,834,000 at June 30, 1998, a decrease of $923,000. 23 Cash used in operating activities for the year ended June 30, 1999 was $2,726,000. Accounts receivable at June 30, 1999 decreased $566,000 from June 30, 1998, and other assets at June 30, 1999 increased $996,000 from June 30, 1998. Accounts payable at June 30, 1999 increased $32,000 from June 30, 1998, accrued expenses decreased $563,000 from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999, and deferred income increased 1,088,000 during that same period. During the year ended June 30, 1999, cash used in investing activities was $995,000. This represents cash used for capital expenditures incurred in the normal course of operations, less the payment of the note receivable received by from a former officer. Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended June 30, 1999 was $2,798,000 which was provided through the cash borrowings from iNTELEFILM and the proceeds from the issuance of common stock to iNTELEFILM, net of the repayment of borrowings from iNTELEFILM. Year 2000 Compliance. Before the rollover of the year from 1999 to 2000, many installed computer systems and software products were coded to accept only two digit date entries and were unable to accept four digit date entries to distinguish 21st century dates from the 20th century dates. As a result, computer systems and software used by many companies prior to the rollover date required upgrading or replacement to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. Our failure, the failure of our vendors, suppliers or other critical third parties with whom we conduct business to achieve Year 2000 compliance on a timely basis could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. As of September 1, 2000, we had not experienced and do not anticipate any material adverse effects on our production equipment, systems or operations as a result of Year 2000 issues. Business is continuing as usual, and internal equipment and systems will continue to be monitored for any likely disruptions. Further, as of September 1, 2000, we had not experienced any operational difficulties as a result of Year 2000 issues with our vendors, suppliers or other critical third parties with whom we conduct business. However, Year 2000 compliance has many elements and potential consequences, some of which may not be foreseeable or may be realized in future periods. Consequently, there can be no assurance that unforeseen circumstances may not arise, or that we will not in the future identify equipment or systems which are not Year 2000 compliant. Although the transition to the Year 2000 did not have any significant impact on us or our equipment, systems and operations, we will continue to monitor the impact of the Year 2000 on our equipment and systems and those of our vendors, suppliers and other critical third parties. The contingency plans that were developed for use in the event of Year 2000-related failures will be maintained and generalized for ongoing business use. We have not and do not anticipate spending any material amounts of money relating to Year 2000 issues. INFLATION Inflation has not had a significant effect on us. 24 ITEM 7a. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest Rate Risk The Company's interest rate risk results from short-term debt at fixed and variable rates, primarily fixed interest rate debt which is due on demand to a related party and a variable interest rate demand under the GE Capital loan agreement. As the Company's debt portfolio is short-term in nature, management's primary method to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates is to monitor credit availability and , to the extent possible, the Company's credit worthiness in an effort to ensure that the debt portfolio is competitively priced. The following table provides information about the Company's notes payable and line of credit and presents principal cash flows and current interest rates by expected maturity date. Fair Value and Due on Demand at December 31, 1999 ---------------------------- Note payable to related party $3,193,615 Fixed Interest Rate 14.0% Line of Credit - Finova $3,548,911 Variable Interest Rate ITEM 8.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Harmony Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the six months and three years then ended, respectively. We have also audited the schedule listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Harmony Holdings, Inc. at December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the six months and three years then ended, respectively, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered from recurring losses, negative working capital and negative cash flow from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. F-5 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization, Business, and Principles of Consolidation: Harmony Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 5, 1991, and currently conducts its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary The End, Inc. ("The End") which in turn operates one or more of its own subsidiaries and a 49% minority ownership interest in Curious Pictures Corporation ("Curious Pictures") with the remaining 51% interest of Curious Pictures owned by iNTELEFILM Corporation ("iNTELEFILM"), the Company's largest shareholder. The Company also owns a 10% interest in Harry Nash Film Productions f/k/a The End (London), Ltd. ("The End (London)") based in London. Effective July 1, 1999, the Company sold 90% of the stock of The End (London). Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "Company" includes Harmony Holdings, Inc. and all of its direct and indirect majority-owned subsidiaries of Harmony Holdings, Inc. at the time of reference. For periods after August 1, 1999, the reference to "Company" does not include Curious Pictures, a 49% owned equity investment of Harmony Holdings, Inc. (Note 3). The Company operates in one reportable segment, producing television commercials, music videos and related media. The Company's services are usually directed towards advertising agencies located in the major markets of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Minneapolis, San Francisco and in regional markets. On June 29, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved a change in the fiscal year-end of the Company from June 30 to December 31 effective with the calendar year beginning January 1, 2000. As audited financial statements have been prepared for all periods through June 30, 1999, the Company is presenting audited financial statements for the six-month transition period from June 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999. In April 1999, iNTELEFILM Corporation ("iNTELEFILM"), a publicly traded corporation, increased its ownership position of the Company to 52.1% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Company is accordingly accounted for by iNTELEFILM as a consolidated subsidiary as of April 1, 1999. The Company has properly not employed the provisions of push-down accounting. Accordingly, the Company's assets and liabilities have not been recast to reflect the excess of iNTELEFILM's purchase price over the proportionate net book value acquired. At December 31, 1999, iNTELEFILM owned 55.2% of the Company's outstanding common stock. In November 1998, the Company announced and began the process of discontinuing operations of its Harmony Pictures division. This division consists of Harmony Pictures, Inc., Melody Films, Inc., Lexington Films, Inc., and Pure Films, Inc. As of June 30, 1999, operations had ceased for these subsidiaries (Note 12). In connection with this discontinuation, Chemistry Pictures, Inc. was renamed to its former name of Harmony Pictures, Inc. Effective August 1, 1999, iNTELEFILM purchased the Option and Share Transfer Agreement entered into by the Company and the four principal executives of Curious Pictures Corporation (Note 3 and 8). As a result of this purchase and iNTELEFILM's exercise of the stock options granted Curious management under the agreement, the Company currently owns only 49% of Curious Pictures common stock. Accordingly, the Company began accounting for Curious Pictures as an equity basis investment rather than as a consolidated subsidiary as of August 1, 1999. Additionally, the F-6 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Organization, Business, and Principles of Consolidation (Continued): Company now reflects on its balance sheet, the amount due to Curious Pictures, which totaled $1,609,553 at December 31, 1999. Prior to the aforementioned transaction, this payable was eliminated through the consolidation of Curious Pictures. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method when the Company owns at least 20%, but no more than 50% of such affiliates. Under the equity method, the Company records its proportionate share of profits and losses based on its percentage interest in these affiliates. Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Contract Revenues: The Company produces television commercials and music videos under firm bid, cost plus or cost plus fixed fee contracts, which are typically less than one month in duration. At December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company had no long-term contracts. Contract revenues are recognized using the percentage of completion method. The percentage of contract revenues recognized is computed at that percentage of estimated total revenues that incurred costs to date bears to total estimated costs, after giving effect to the most recent estimate of costs to complete. Revisions in costs and revenue estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts which require the revision become known. Deferred income represents amounts billed in excess of revenues earned. Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements and replacements of property and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed. Upon retirement or other disposition of property, applicable cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the life of the related improvements, whichever is shorter. Goodwill: Goodwill primarily represents the excess of the Company's purchase price, including additional payments over the fair market value of Harmony Pictures, The End and Melody net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill has been amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years for all periods. The Company, using the best estimates of management, continually evaluates the existence of goodwill impairment on the basis of whether the goodwill is fully recoverable from projected, undiscounted net cash flows of the related business unit. Amortization expense for the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $6,302, $161,960, $211,780 and $211,780, respectively. F-7 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Goodwill (Continued): In connection with the closing of the Harmony Pictures Division (Note 12), Goodwill with a net book value of $2,215,175 was determined by management to be fully impaired and was accordingly written-off. Income Taxes: The Company applies SFAS No. 109, " Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 prescribes the use of the liability method to compute the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the related financial reporting amounts using currently enacted tax laws and rates. Income (Loss) Per Share: In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("EPS"). SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS on the face of all income statements issued after December 15, 1997, for all entities with complex capital structures. The adoption of SFAS No. 128 had no effect on the Company's financial statements. Basic EPS is computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options and warrants. As the Company's stock options and warrants are antidilutive for all periods presented, basic and diluted EPS are the same. Stock Based Compensation: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans and for transactions in which a company acquires goods or services from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments. The Company adopted this accounting standard on July 1, 1996. SFAS 123 also gives the option to account for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock issued to Employees," or SFAS 123. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB 25. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the Company's stock at the measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire stock. If SFAS 123 is not adopted related to stock-based employee compensation, SFAS 123 for footnote purposes requires that companies measure the cost of stock-based employee compensation at the grant date based on the value of the award and recognize this cost over the service period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using a pricing model whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the stock as determined by the model at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. F-8 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Comprehensive Income: The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" as of January 1, 1998. The Company does not have any components of comprehensive income. New Accounting Pronouncements: In 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" dealing with revenue recognition which is effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN 44"), which is effective July 1, 2000. This interpretation clarifies the application of APB Opinion 25 for certain issues related to stock issued to employees. The Company believes its existing stock based compensation policies and procedures are in compliance with FIN 44 and therefore, the adoption of FIN 44 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. Statement of Financial standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133) issued by the FASB is effective for financial statements with fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, the Company does not expect adoption of the new standard to affect its financial statements. Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 1998 and 1997 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1999 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the accumulated deficit or the net income (loss) previously reported. F-9 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2 CONTINUED EXISTENCE AND MANAGEMENT PLAN The Company's consolidated financial statements are presented on the going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, during the six months ended December 31, 1999, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,135,560 and a negative cash flow from operations of $2,900,829, resulting in a negative working capital position of $6,319,698 and an accumulated deficit totaling $21,174,012 at December 31, 1999. As of December 31, 1999 the Company had no firm external financing resources other than its advances from and notes payable to iNTELEFILM (Note 11 and 14) or an asset based loan and security agreement (Note 7). Subsequently, in April 2000, the lender under the asset based loan and security agreement terminated this line of credit and the Company repaid its indebtedness in full. Additionally, on March 23, 2000, iNTELEFILM demanded payment of its notes totaling $3,193,615 outstanding at December 31, 1999, but agreed to forbear taking any action on collection of such notes for an indeterminate amount of time in order to permit the independent directors of the Company to evaluate the Company's financial condition and its repayment demand. Further, on May 1, 2000, members of the Screen Actors Guild ("SAG") began a strike against the advertising agencies that represent the Company's customer base. This on-going strike has limited the Company's ability to produce television commercials domestically. The Company has made an effort to limit the effect that the strike has had on its operations by utilizing non-union talent and continuing to produce its commercials outside of the United States whenever possible. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In the period subsequent to December 31, 1999, the Company's operations have been adversely affected as a result of a variety of factors including the SAG strike, the reorganization of management, and the current negotiations of commercial director agreements. Given these circumstances and the fact that the Company has historically used cash in its operations, additional capital will be necessary to sustain and build the Company's operations in the near term. In response to these adversities, the Company has taken steps to reduce its ongoing operating expenses and has made recent investments in The End's sales representation and is currently negotiating several commercial director agreements. Management believes that with improved sales representation and the addition of commercial directors to its roster, the operating losses and the overall operating cash needs of the Company may lessen. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will reach profitability or that it will be able to retain its commercial directors or that its commercial directors will fulfill their obligations to the Company. The Company received advances from iNTELEFILM during the period from January 1, 2000 to September 8, 2000. These unsecured advances are independent of the notes payable to iNTELEFILM and primarily funded a portion of the line of credit pay-off and the Company's operations. At September 7, 2000, $2,510,535 of these advances remained due and payable to iNTELEFILM for a total indebtedness to iNTELEFILM of $5,704,150. Additionally, management anticipates that advances will continue as necessary in the near term through at least January 1, 2001. In August 2000, The End, along with two subsidiaries of iNTELEFILM, entered into an accounts receivable-based loan and security agreement with an independent lending institution. This agreement provides for borrowings by The End for working capital under a revolving line of credit, thereby enabling The End to operate its business through a line of credit instead of depending solely on iNTELEFILM to fund its operations. However, The End may only borrow against eligible accounts receivable. In the event that the Company is unable to maintain its current financing, or that its current financing is not sufficient to meet the Company's needs, the Company may have to seek alternative financing. If the Company F-10 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2 CONTINUED EXISTENCE AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (CONTINUED) is not able to obtain adequate financing, or financing on acceptable terms, it could be forced to further reduce or terminate its operations or potentially default on obligations to creditors, all of which may be materially adverse to the Company's operation and prospects. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. NOTE 3 SUBSIDIARY STOCK SALE AND SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT RESOLUTION Sale of Subsidiary Common Stock: For nominal consideration, effective July 1, 1999, the Company sold 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of The End (London) to a principal executive (the "Purchaser") of The End (London). The End (London) is a commercial production company based in London, England, and prior to this sale was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, The End (London) had gross revenues of approximately $11,243,000, $3,747,000, and $0, and net losses of approximately $862,000, $591,000, and $0, respectively. The Company retained all rights to the "The End (London)" name and logo. In connection with the sale, the Company and the Purchaser entered an agreement granting the Purchaser the right, under certain circumstances, to purchase the remaining 10% equity interest in The End (London) from the Company for approximately $800,000. Resolution of the Subsidiary Share Transfer Agreement: Effective August 1, 1999, iNTELEFILM purchased the Option Agreement (Note 8) entered into by the Company and Curious Management. Pursuant to the purchase agreement and based on the results of operations of Curious Pictures, it was agreed by all parties, including the Company, that Curious Management's options to purchase the 50% equity interest in Curious had fully vested and were exercisable for consideration totaling $50. iNTELEFILM also acquired a 1% equity interest owned by Curious Management that was conveyed to Curious Management upon signing the Option Agreement. The consideration paid to Curious Management by iNTELEFILM for the aforementioned acquisitions aggregated $3,000,000, consisting of $1,500,000 in cash and a $1,500,000 note receivable. Subsequently, iNTELEFILM acquired 50% of Curious Pictures through the exercise of stock options granted under the Option Agreement. As a result, the Company currently owns 49% of the outstanding stock of Curious Pictures and iNTELEFILM owns 51% of the stock. The intrinsic value of the stock options transferred under the option and share transfer agreement was ultimately determined by iNTELEFILM's purchase of the agreement and one additional share of Curious common stock from the management group for consideration totaling $3,000,000. This aggregate consideration was valued at $2,700,000 for the options for 50 shares and $300,000 for one share. The one share was given a slightly higher incremental value as it represents the marginal share for a majority ownership. Accordingly, the Company recognized $2,700,000 of stock options compensation through June 30, 1999. F-11 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3 SUBSIDIARY STOCK SALE AND SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT RESOLUTION (CONTINUED) Resolution of the Subsidiary Share Transfer Agreement (Continued): At the same time, Curious entered new five-year employment agreements with Curious Management which are retroactive to January 1, 1999. As part of the compensation to be paid to Curious Management, each member of Curious Management was granted the right to purchase from the Company one share (representing 1% of the capital stock of Curious Pictures) of the Company's remaining 49 shares at the end of each employment year for $1 per share. As a result, if all of the members of Curious Management exercise all of the new options over the five-year term of their employment agreements, iNTELEFILM will own 51% of the Curious Pictures stock, Curious Management will collectively own 20%, and the Company will own the remaining 29%. The Company, iNTELEFILM, and Curious Management also entered a Stock Agreement effective as of August 1, 1999. Under this agreement, the members of Curious Management were granted the right to sell to iNTELEFILM the shares of Curious Pictures that they earn from the Company (the put right),and iNTELEFILM obtained the right to purchase such shares from Curious Management (the call right). The price per share to be paid by iNTELEFILM to Curious Management for each share under the put and call rights is $96,774 per share. The following amounts represent Curious Pictures' results from operations for the periods presented that Curious Pictures was accounted for under the equity method. Such amounts have been derived from Curious Pictures' financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999: Five Months Ended 12/31/99 --------------- Contract revenues $ 10,902,237 Cost of production 8,218,636 --------------- Gross profit 2,683,601 Operating expenses 2,115,749 --------------- Income from operations 567,852 Interest income 4,432 --------------- Net income $ 572,284 =============== Company's equity income in Curious Pictures $ 280,419 =============== The balance sheet of Curious Pictures is summarized as follows: December 31, 1999 ----------------- Current assets $ 3,966,185 Non-current assets 2,351,391 --------------- Total assets $ 6,317,576 --------------- Current liabilities 3,419,474 Stockholders' equity 2,898,102 --------------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 6,317,576 =============== F-12 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC.

Previous periods are consolidated in the Company's financial statements. At August 1, 1999, the Company reflected an investment of 49% of the net assets of Curious Pictures resulting in a reclassification to additional paid in capital totaling $1,575,033. NOTE 4 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment is summarized as follows:

Depreciation expense for the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $164,294, $719,830, $488,365, and $405,900, respectively. NOTE 5 INCOME TAXES For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the company had no income tax expense. For the year ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 income tax expense consisted of state taxes currently payable. The Company had no current federal and no deferred income tax expense in any period presented. For the year ended June 30, 1997, income tax expense consisted of $39,234 federal alternative minimum taxes and $139,529 state taxes currently payable. At December 31. 1999, the Company has net federal operating loss carryforwards as follows for income tax purposes: Carryforward Expires Net Operating Loss -------------------- ------------------ 2005 $ 251,730 2006 1,721,893 2007 6,430 2008 2,709,559 2009 348,090 2011 1,366,208 2013 3,108,872 2019 2,428,813 2020 (approximately) 1,300,000 ---------------- $ 13,241,595 ================ F-13 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 5 INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) The Company's ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon the company's ability to generate taxable income in future periods. Federal net operating losses of approximately $7,400,000 million are limited to $792,000 per year, due to ownership changes as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Any unused portion can be carried forward and utilization of the net operating loss carry forward may also be limited in any one year by alternative minimum tax rules. A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate (benefit) and the effective tax rate as a percentage of income (loss) before taxes on income is as follows:
December 31, June 30, 1999 1999 1998 1997 ------------------------- --------------------- Statutory rate (benefit) ( 34.0)% ( 34.0)% ( 34.0)% 34.0% Operating losses generating no current tax benefit 34.0 11.8 27.4 - Write-off intangible asset not recognized for tax purposes - 9.6 - - Stock option compensation generating no current tax benefit - 9.1 3.0 1.7 Loss of foreign subsidiary - 3.5 3.6 - Current benefit of fully reserved net operating loss carryforward utilization - - - ( 33.1) State taxes - 0.1 0.5 9.2 ------------------------------------------------ Effective Rate 0.0% 0.1% 0.5% 11.8% ================================================
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
December 31, June 30, 1999 1999 1998 ------------------- ------------------------------ Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carry forwards 5,296,000 4,918,000 3,725,000 Other items not yet deductible for tax purposes 170,000 190,000 68,000 ------------------- ------------------------------ 5,466,000 5,108,000 3,793,000 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation ( 18,000) ( 56,000) ( 50,000) Valuation allowance 5,448,000 5,052,000 3,743,000 ------------------- ------------------------------ Net deferred tax asset $ - $ - $ - =================== ==============================
As the Company has posted losses in most years since inception and utilization of the net operating losses, the Company's primary deferred tax asset, is limited by IRS Section 382, realization of the tax benefit related to these net deferred tax asset is uncertain. Accordingly, no deferred tax asset has been recorded to reflect their potential value. The net change in the deferred tax valuation allowance was an increase of $396,000 in the six months ended December 31, 1999 and $1,309,000, $1,364,000 and ($848,000) in the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. F-14 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTE 7 LINE OF CREDIT On June 30, 1998, the Company had a $3,000,000 asset based revolving line of credit with a bank. On July 30, 1998, the bank line of credit was replaced with an asset based loan and security agreement due to a finance company. The loan and security agreement, which was secured by virtually all assets, provided for a revolving line of credit with maximum availability of $4,500,000 or a specified percentage of acceptable accounts receivable with interest at a variable rate (10.00% at December 31, 1999). Further, the line of credit was guaranteed by iNTELEFILM. At December 31, 1999, $3,548,911 was outstanding on the line of credit and the Company was in technical default. Subsequent to December 31, 1999, the line of credit was repaid in full pursuant to the lender's termination of the line of credit. NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases: The Company is a party to a number of noncancelable operating lease agreements involving buildings and equipment which expire at various dates through August 2009. The future minimum lease commitments are as follows for the years ending December 31: 2000 $ 341,736 2001 350,739 2002 361,862 2003 373,362 2004 385,244 Thereafter 1,377,743 -------------- Total minimum payments $ 3,190,686 ============== Total rental expense for the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 aggregated $285,719, $813,542, $807,956 and $774,396. iNTELEFILM guarantees a Company operating lease with future minimum lease payments aggregating $1,182,496 payable through August 2009. F-15 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Employment Contracts: The Company has entered into various employment agreements with its officers and commercial directors, which obligate it to make minimum payments of $1,205,333. The payments due are $1,046,333 and $159,000, for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Of these amounts $8,333 are for administrative personnel and $1,197,000 are for commercial directors and salespeople. Certain of these agreements provide for additional compensation based on subsidiary revenues, defined subsidiary operating profits or other incentives. This additional compensation is payable whether or not the Company achieves an operating profit as a whole. Some of the commercial directors who are associated with the Company receive monthly draws against the commercial directors' compensation for production of commercials. The monthly draws equal the minimum guaranteed compensation payable to such commercial directors which are recoupable by the Company out of compensation otherwise payable to such commercial directors. The Company accounts for unrecouped draws as prepaid compensation to be offset against future production by a given director. Additionally, prepaid amounts are regularly evaluated and allowed for if considered unrealizable by management. Most of the Company's sales personnel receive monthly draws offset by their earned commissions. Lawsuits: A lawsuit was filed on March 22, 1996, (served August 12, 1996) in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. A wrongful death claim has been made by the estate of Henry Gillermo Urgoiti, his wife and three children for an accident that occurred during the filming of a music video in August 1995. The case was settled by the Company's insurance carrier during the year ended June 30, 1999 with no additional cost incurred by the Company. On June 30, 1998, a complaint was filed by Rick Bieber against Harmony Holdings, Inc. and Harmony Pictures, Inc. in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. Mr. Bieber was the president of Harmony Pictures, Inc. until his employment was terminated by Harmony Pictures, Inc. effective April 23, 1998. Harmony Pictures, Inc. terminated Mr. Bieber's employment for breaching his written employment agreement with Harmony Pictures, Inc. and his fiduciary obligations to the company. The termination date of the employment agreement was December 31, 2000. However, the employment agreement provided that it could be terminated before the termination date by Harmony Pictures, Inc. (i) for cause or (ii) if Harmony Pictures, Inc. was not profitable by the quarter ended June 30, 1998. Mr. Bieber alleged that the defendants, by terminating his employment agreement before December 31, 2000, breached his agreement. Mr. Bieber also alleged that defendants slandered and libeled him with reference to the circumstances relating to his termination. The court has dismissed the slander and libel claims and has dismissed all claims against Harmony Holdings, Inc. In December 1999, the Company settled the litigation on his remaining breach of contract claim and labor code claims. In connection with the settlement, the Company paid Mr. Bieber and Mr. Bieber's counsel a total of $65,000, the parties entered into a mutual release agreement, and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice. F-16 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) Lawsuits (Continued): On October 20, 1999, Imperial Bank, a California banking corporation filed a lawsuit against Cinequanon Pictures International, Inc.; the Company; Jennifer Peckham, an individual and Daniel Sales, an individual in Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. BC218753. Imperial Bank alleges that the Company guaranteed $250,000 of Cinnequanon's obligations to Imperial Bank. The Company denies that it has any liability to Imperial Bank and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. The Company is involved in other litigation on a number of matters and is subject to certain claims which arise in normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion of the Company's management is expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Subsidiary Share Transfer Agreement: The Company entered into a option and share transfer agreement ("the Option Agreement") with four members of management of Curious Pictures Corporation ("Curious") dated December 15, 1996. The agreement called for stock equaling one percent (1%) of Curious outstanding common stock to be issued to the four principle executives of management, (collectively "Curious Management"), upon the signing of the agreement. Under the agreement, the four members of management had the ability to earn an additional fifty-percent (50%) of the company through yearly stock option grants with an exercise price of $1.00 per share beginning in calendar year 1997. Agreement was reached that the stock options were fully earned and exercisable on August 1, 1999. Effective August 1, 1999, the options were exercised by iNTELEFILM after iNTELEFILM purchased the Option Agreement from Curious Management (Note 3). The Company has the right to put its remaining forty nine percent (49%) of Curious Pictures Corporation to iNTELEFILM for a price to be determined based on fair value at that time, but not to be less than $1,960,000. As a result of the Option Agreement and the intrinsic value established by interim valuations of Curious and ultimately by the subsequent iNTELEFILM purchase, the Company has recognized compensation expense related to the stock options of $2,234,250, $390,750 and $75,000 in the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. No compensation expense was recognized in the six months ended December 31, 1999. The aggregate compensation expense recognized is reflected on the accompanying balance sheet as a minority interest totaling $2,700,000 and $465,750 at June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 401(k) Savings/Profit-Sharing Plan: The Company has a 401(k) plan available to all employees meeting certain service requirements. Eligible employees may contribute a portion of their annual salary to the plan, subject to certain limitations. The Company may make matching contributions and also may provide profit-sharing contributions at the discretion of its board of directors. Employees become fully vested in the Company contributions after six years of service. There were no Company contributions in the six months ended December 31, 1999 or the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997. F-17 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 9 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK OPTION PLAN Common Stock: Pursuant to a Stock Subscription Agreement entered into in July 1996, the Company sold to Unimedia, S.A., a French company (Unimedia), 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. The purchase price was received by the Company on August 16, 1996. On July 21, 1997, iNTELEFILM and Unimedia entered into an agreement whereby Unimedia agreed to sell, and iNTELEFILM agreed to buy Unimedia's 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company for $2,600,000 and Unimedia agreed to dismiss the litigation entitled Unimedia S.A. V. Harmony Holdings, Inc. and Harvey Bibicoff, Case No. CV 96-7109 JGD (RNBx), pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. iNTELEFILM assigned its right to buy 230,769 of the Shares to the Company, thereby reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and resulting in a purchase price of $2,000,000 and $600,000 to iNTELEFILM and the Company, respectively. The closing of the purchase occurred on July 25, 1997. Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans: During the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company issued 257,500 stock options to certain outside board of director members and other consultants of the Company, at prices ranging from $1.50 to $2.00. The terms of the options are from three to five years and compensation expense totaling $44,993 is included in the statement of operations relating to these options. The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan on August 7, 1991, as amended and restated in February 1998. The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to secure for the Company and its stockholders the benefits arising from stock ownership by selected employees of the Company as the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), or a committee thereof constituted for that purpose, may from time to time determine. The Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of an aggregate of incentive and non-incentive options to purchase a maximum of 3,250,000 shares of the Common Stock. The Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant of options to employees intended to qualify as incentive stock options ("Incentive Options") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the grant of options which do not qualify ("Non-Qualified Options") as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Stock Option Plan is currently administered by the Board. The Board, subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, has full power to select the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to fix the number of shares that each optionee may purchase, to set the terms, conditions, and vesting of each option, and to determine all other matters relating to the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan provides that the Board will select grantees from among full-time employees, officers, commercial directors and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries, and individuals or entities, subject to an acquisition or management agreement with the Company. The exercise price of each option shall be determined by the Board, but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. No Incentive Options may be granted to any employee who owns, at the date of grant, stock representing in excess of 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of F-18 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 9 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED) Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans (Continued): the Company or of a parent or a subsidiary unless the exercise price for stock subject to such options is at least 110% of the fair market value of such stock at the time of grant and the option term does not exceed five years. The term of each option shall be fixed by the Board and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. If a participant who holds options ceases, for any reason, to be an employee, consultant or commercial director or otherwise affiliated with the Company (the "Termination"), the options expire 30 days after the Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Termination due to the optionee's death or incapacity, the options will terminate 12 months following the date of such optionee's death or incapacity. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan may be exercisable in installments. The aggregate fair market value of stock with regard to which Incentive Options are exercisable by an individual for the first time in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. Upon the exercise of options, the option exercise price must be paid in full, either in cash or other form acceptable to the Board. The Board may terminate the plan at its discretion. A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan as of December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, and the changes during the years ending on those dates is presented below: All shares are shown in thousands (000).

Additionally, on March 10, 1998, the Company repriced 989,000 options outstanding with varying exercise prices to $1.44 per share.

SFAS Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS Statement 123. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively: dividend yield of zero for all years; expected volatility of 87.5, 59.5 and 5.2 percent; risk-free interest rates of 4.9, 5.7 and 5.9 percent and an estimated option life of 5.0, 5.0 and 3.0 years. Under the accounting provisions of SFAS Statement 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

F-20 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 10 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS The Company's cash is deposited with various financial institutions, and is insured up to a maximum of $100,000 at each institution by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). At December 31, 1999, the Company's deposits with two financial institutions exceeded the maximum amount insured by the FDIC by $722,386. The Company believes it has its cash deposits at high-quality financial institutions and that no significant credit risk exists with respect to these deposits. The Company grants credit to advertising agencies, principally based in the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition, and generally requires no collateral from its customers. The Company's credit losses are subject to the general economic conditions of the advertising industry. NOTE 11 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Notes Receivable: In January 1998, the Company entered into a $650,000 note receivable agreement with iNTELEFILM. Pursuant to the note, the Company advanced $611,000 of proceeds to iNTELEFILM and applied the remaining $39,000 of the note balance to a loan fee for the note origination. Interest was accrued at 15%. The note was repaid in full with two installments (May 1998, $322,863 and June 1998, $327,137). During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company recognized interest and loan fee income aggregating $80,305, respectively, related to this note receivable. Notes Payable: During the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended June 30, 1999, iNTELEFILM made operating advances to the Company aggregating $915,000 and $3,050,000, respectively, pursuant to unsecured demand note agreements which bear a fixed interest rate of 14.0%. At December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, advances totaling $3,193,615 and $2,729,342, respectively, remain outstanding and the Company has incurred interest expense totaling $176,793 and $184,577 in the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended June 30, 1999, respectively. iNTELEFILM demanded payment of its notes but agreed to forbear taking any action on collection of such notes for an indeterminate amount of time in order to permit the independent directors of the company to evaluate the Company's financial condition and its repayment demand (Note 14). Accounts Receivable/Payable - Affiliates: At December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, accounts receivable aggregating $18,187 and $34,650, respectively, were outstanding from two affiliates related to the Company through common control or equity investment. These accounts result primarily from the allocation of shared expenses. At December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, accounts payable aggregating $224,660 and $148,744, respectively, remained due to two affiliates related to the Company through common control or equity investment. These accounts result primarily from the allocation of shared expenses and management fee due. There were no related party receivables or payables for the year ended June 30, 1998. F-21 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 11 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED) Management Services Contracts: In October 1997, the Company entered into a management services contract with a privately held affiliate (the "Management Company") related to the Company through common control. In 1998, this contract was transferred to another related company under identical terms. The contract, which is on a month to month basis, is cancelable with a 60-day notice. The Company has not independently priced the services provided by the Management Company and, therefore, cannot represent that the services provided are on terms as fair as those which could have been obtained from unrelated third parties through arms-length negotiations. The management fees aggregated $325,000, $463,720 and $174,348 during the six months ended December 31, 1999 and the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. Effective August 1, 1999, the contract was amended to increase the monthly management fee to $55,000. The Management Company also provides services for iNTELEFILM and another privately held affiliate each related to the Company through common control. The management fee is based on estimated usage of the Management Company's services. In May 1998, the Management Company advanced the Company $225,000 pursuant to a note payable with interest at 10%. In June 1998, the Company repaid the note in full together with accrued interest of $3,051. NOTE 12 DISCONTINUATION OF HARMONY PICTURES DIVISION In November 1998, the Company announced and began the process of discontinuing operations of its Harmony Pictures division (the "Division"). The Division consisted of Harmony Pictures, Inc., Melody Films, Inc., Lexington Films, Inc., and Pure Films, Inc. In connection with discontinuing the Division's operations, management has estimated and accrued restructuring costs totaling $1,142,495. These costs were accrued when the discontinuance decisions were made and the restructure costs could be reasonably estimated. These costs primarily consist of general office closing logistics, however also include amounts which in aggregate are not significant in nature, such as severance payments, contract buyouts, lease obligations, and non-refundable prepayments. All closing obligations have been met as of December 31, 1999 without the need for adjustment to management's original estimates of the closing liability. Further, upon reaching the decision to discontinue the Division's operations, management determined that the goodwill associated with the Division was fully impaired. Accordingly, an impairment charge equaling the net book value of the goodwill, $2,215,000 was recognized in the year ended June 30, 1999.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 14 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Line Of Credit: In August 2000, The End, in conjunction with iNTELEFILM, entered into an accounts-receivable-based loan and security agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation. This loan and security agreement has a maximum availability of $7.0 million for the combined group, is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and provides for borrowings for working capital under a revolving line of credit with availability based on acceptable accounts receivable. The line of credit bears interest at a variable rate (10.24% at September 8, 2000). The agreement will provide financing for The End as well as two subsidiaries of iNTELEFILM and all parties to the agreement cross-collateralize all borrowings. The agreement is subject to certain restrictive covenants which limit capital expenditures and require minimum EBITDA and tangible net worth. The Company had no outstanding balance at September 8, 2000. iNTELEFILM's Proposed Exchange Tender Offer: In March 2000, iNTELEFILM publicly announced its future intention to effect an exchange tender offer with the shareholders of the Company to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock that is not currently owned by iNTELEFILM in exchange for shares of iNTELEFILM common stock. iNTELEFILM currently owns approximately 55% of the Company's common stock. According to its announcement, iNTELEFILM proposes to offer one share of its common stock for every 13.75 shares of the Company's common stock. If iNTELEFILM is successful in acquiring such shares, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of iNTELEFILM. Notes Payable - iNTELEFILM: On March 23, 2000, iNTELEFILM demanded payment in full of the loans it had made to the Company, which aggregated approximately $3.2 million at December 31, 1999. However, on May 1, 2000, iNTELEFILM granted the Company temporary forbearance of its payment demand for an indeterminate amount of time in order to enable the Company's independent directors to evaluate the Company's position and possible alternatives. Advances Payable - iNTELEFILM: Independent of the notes payable to iNTELEFILM, the Company has received advances from iNTELEFILM during the period from January 1, 2000 to September 8, 2000. These non-interest bearing advances are unsecured and primarily funded a portion of the line of credit pay-off and the Company's operations. At September 8, 2000, $2,510,535 of these advances remain due and payable to iNTELEFILM. Change in Estimate: During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a valuation allowance associated with commercial director advances in excess of earnings totaling approximately $700,000, for a total valuation allowance of approximately $840,000 for the period. Of this amount, $411,000 of the additional amount relates to advances paid prior to December 31, 1999. Such advances are regularly paid to established commercial directors on a monthly basis and are offset against the actual earnings from commercial directorial services. The Company accounts for these monthly F-23 HARMONY HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 14 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED) Change in Estimate (Continued): payments as prepaid compensation and recognizes them as an expense in the period that they are offset against a commercial director's actual earnings. Capitalized amounts were evaluated for collectibility based on anticipated future commercial project awards for individual commercial directors and an allowance was established for capitalized amounts believed to be uncollectible. The valuation allowance was primarily necessitated by changes in the workflow and contractual relationships of the majority of The End's commercial directors after the resignation of two principal officers of The End. Screen Actors Guild Strike: On May 1, 2000, members of the Screen Actors Guild began a strike against the advertising agencies that represent the Company's customer base. This on-going strike has limited the Company's ability to produce television commercials domestically. The Company has made an effort to limit the effect that the strike may have on its operations by utilizing non-union talent and continuing to produce commercials outside the United States whenever possible. To date, the Company has lost business as a result of the strike. No assurance can be given that an extended strike will not have a significant adverse affect on the Company's operations and liquidity. In addition, it is possible that some of the Company's future business activities will be affected by the existence of collective bargaining agreements because many of the performing artists and technical personnel, such as cameramen and film editors, which the Company employs on a free-lance basis, are members of unions who are parties to collective bargaining agreements.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Since August, 1998, the Company has received administrative, legal, accounting and financial services from MMLLC. MMLLC is a limited liability company which is owned by Mr. Dahl, the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Perkins, a director of the Company. MMLLC provides corporate, legal, accounting and financial services to the Company and iNTELEFILM. The Company also leases its corporate office space from MMLLC as part of its monthly service fee. From October 1, 1997 to July, 1998, the Company received identical administrative, legal, accounting and financial services from Radio Management Corporation ("RMC"). The Company paid RMC an aggregate of$174,000 for such services during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. The Company paid MMLLC and RMC an aggregate of $464,000 for such services during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. The Company paid MMLLC an aggregate of $325,000 for such services during the Transition Period. The salaries of three officers of the Company, Messrs. Gilbertson, Smith and Ms. Theis, are paid by MMLLC. The services of Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel are rendered by Messrs. Gilbertson, Smith and Ms. Theis, respectively, on a shared basis with iNTELEFILM. These arrangements were approved by the Related Party Transaction Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, which is comprised of disinterested directors, and the Company believes such arrangements were on terms at least as favorable as could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. On August 1, 1997, the Company entered into an independent contractor agreement with William Cameron, a Director of the Company. Under the agreement, Mr. Cameron provides non-exclusive services to the Company, including, without limitation, the initiation, promotion, development and maintenance of business and investment contacts relating to increasing the Company's sales, marketing and investment opportunities. The contract is at will and compensation under the contract is $3,000 for every month that it is in force. From November 1998 to March 2000, iNTELEFILM advanced the Company an aggregate of approximately $3.2 million under notes receivable bearing interest at 14% per annum. Additionally, iNTELEFILM has provided the Company with a working line of credit. As of September 7, 2000, the Company owed iNTELEFILM approximately $2.5 million under that working line of credit. For a total indebtedness of approximately $5.7 million. Management believes that such advances will continue as necessary through January 1, 2001. The Company and iNTELEFILM and their subsidiaries are parties to the loan agreement with GE Capital. Further, iNTELEFILM guarantees The End's New York office lease. 30 PART IV ITEM 14.

RECITALS A. Borrowers desire to obtain the Loans and other financial accommodations from Lender and Lender is willing to provide the Loans and accommodations all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. B. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in Schedule A and, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the rules of construction set forth in Schedule A shall govern. All Schedules, attachments, addenda and exhibits hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference, and taken together with this Agreement, constitute but a single agreement. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT 1.1 Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from the Closing Date and until the Commitment Termination Date (i) Lender agrees (A) to make available advances (each, a "Revolving Credit Advance") and (B) to incur Letter of Credit Obligations, in an aggregate outstanding amount for any Borrower not to exceed the Borrowing Availability of such Borrower, and (ii) any Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow, and may cause Lender to incur Letter of Credit Obligations, under this Section 1.1. (b) Borrower shall request each Revolving Credit Advance by written notice to Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each a "Notice of Revolving Credit Advance") given no later than 11:00 A.M. (Los Angeles time) on the Business Day of the proposed advance. Lender shall be fully protected under this Agreement in relying upon, and shall be entitled to rely upon, (i) any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance believed by Lender to be genuine, and (ii) the assumption that the Persons making electronic requests or executing and delivering a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance were duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for Lender shall have actual knowledge to the contrary. As an accommodation to Borrowers, Lender may permit telephonic, electronic, or facsimile requests for a Revolving Credit Advance and electronic or facsimile transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Lender by any Borrower. Unless each Borrower specifically directs Lender in writing not to accept or act upon telephonic, facsimile or electronic communications from any Borrower, Lender shall have no liability to any Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by any Borrower as a result of Lender's honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically, by facsimile or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Lender by any Borrower and Lender shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the identity or authority of the Person sending it. The Revolving Credit Loan shall be evidenced by, and be repayable in accordance with the terms of, the Revolving Credit Note and this Agreement. (c) In making any Loan hereunder Lender shall be entitled to rely upon the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Lender by such Borrower and other information available to Lender. Lender shall be under no obligation to make any further Revolving Credit Advance to any Borrower or incur any other Obligation if any Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate to Lender by the time specified in Section 4.1(b). (d) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Schedule C, each Borrower shall have the right to request, and Lender agrees to incur, the Letter of Credit Obligations for the account of such Borrower in accordance with Schedule C. 1.2 Term and Prepayment. (a) Upon the Commitment Termination Date the obligation of Lender to make Revolving Credit Advances and extend other credit hereunder shall immediately terminate and Borrowers shall pay to Lender in full, in cash: (i) all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, including Additional Interest referred to in Section 1.5(e); (ii) an amount sufficient to enable Lender to hold cash collateral as specified in Schedule C; and (iii) all other non-contingent Obligations due to or incurred by Lender. 1 (b) If the Revolving Credit Loan attributable to any Borrower shall at any time exceed such Borrower's Borrowing Availability, then such Borrower shall immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loan in the amount of such excess. (c) Each Borrower shall have the right, at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to Lender to (i) terminate voluntarily Borrowers' right to receive or benefit from, and Lender's obligation to make and to incur, Revolving Credit Advances and Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) prepay all of the Obligations. The effective date of termination of the Revolving Credit Loan specified in such notice shall be the Commitment Termination Date. If any Borrower exercises the right of termination and prepayment, or if Lender's obligation to make Loans is terminated for any reason prior to the Stated Expiry Date then in effect (including as a result of the occurrence of a Default), Borrowers shall pay to Lender the applicable Prepayment Fee. 1.3 Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loans for working capital and other general corporate purposes. 1.4 Single Loan. The Loans and all of the other Obligations of any Borrower to Lender shall constitute one general obligation of such Borrower secured by all of the Collateral. 1.5 Interest (a) Each Borrower shall pay interest to Lender on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances attributable to such Borrower at a floating rate equal to the Index Rate plus three and seventy five hundredths percent (3.75 %) per annum (the "Revolving Credit Rate"). All computations of interest, and all calculations of the Letter of Credit Fee, shall be made by Lender on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest or fee is payable. Each determination by Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. In no event will Lender charge interest at a rate that exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. (b) Interest shall be payable on the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances (i) in arrears for the preceding calendar month on the first day of each calendar month, (ii) on the Commitment Termination Date, and (iii) if any interest accrues or remains payable after the Commitment Termination Date, upon demand by Lender. (c) Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Revolving Credit Rate and the Letter of Credit Fee shall automatically be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum (such increased rate, the "Default Rate"), and all outstanding Obligations, including unpaid interest and Letter of Credit Fees, shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. (d) If any interest or any other payment (including Unused Line Fees) to Lender under this Agreement becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. (e) On any day on which interest is payable by any Borrower to Lender, each Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of its "Pro Rata Share" of any "Additional Interest" due for such period. "Additional Interest" shall be due if the aggregate average balance of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances during any period (the "Aggregate Average Balance") is less than the "Minimum Balance Amount" for such period. As used in this Section 1.5(e), the Minimum Balance Amount shall be (i) $2,000,000 from the Closing Date until the first anniversary date of this Agreement, (ii) $2,500,000 from the first anniversary date of this Agreement to the second anniversary date of this Agreement, and (iii) $3,000,000 at all times after the second anniversary date of this Agreement. If the Minimum Balance Amount exceeds the Aggregate Average Balance for any such period, then the amount of Additional Interest that is due to Lender shall be an amount derived by multiplying such excess by the blended Revolving Credit Rate for such period (as determined by Lender). Each Borrower's "Pro Rata Share" of any Additional Interest shall be determined by Lender based on the average relative borrowings of each Borrower. 1.6 Cash Management System. On or prior to the Closing Date and until the Termination Date, each Borrower will establish and maintain the cash management system described in Schedule D. All payments in respect of the Collateral shall be made to or deposited in the blocked accounts described in Schedule D in accordance with the terms thereof. 1.7 Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the Fees set forth in Schedule E. 1.8 Receipt of Payments. Each Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement (not otherwise made pursuant to Section 1.9) without set-off, counterclaim or deduction and free and clear of all Taxes not later than 11:00 A.M. (Los Angeles time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds to the Collection Account. If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from any payment to Lender under any Loan 2 Document, then the amount payable to Lender shall be increased so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to that which it would have received had no such deductions been made. For purposes of computing interest and Fees, all payments shall be deemed received by Lender 2 Business Days following receipt of immediately available funds in the Collection Account. For purposes of determining the Borrowing Availability, payments shall be deemed received by Lender upon receipt of immediately available funds in the Collection Account. 1.9 Application and Allocation of Payments. Each Borrower irrevocably agrees that Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply any and all payments against the then due and payable Obligations in such order as Lender may deem advisable. Lender is authorized to, and at its option may (without prior notice or precondition and at any time or times), but shall not be obligated to, make or cause to be made Revolving Credit Advances on behalf of any Borrower for: (a) payment of all Fees, expenses, indemnities, charges, costs, principal, interest, or other Obligations owing by such Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (b) the payment, performance or satisfaction of any of such Borrower's obligations with respect to preservation of the Collateral, or (c) any premium in whole or in part required in respect of any of the policies of insurance required by this Agreement, even if the making of any such Revolving Credit Advance causes the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loan attributable to any Borrower to exceed such Borrower's Borrowing Availability, and each Borrower agrees to repay immediately, in cash, any amount by which the Revolving Credit Loan attributable to such Borrower exceeds its Borrowing Availability. 1.10 Accounting. Lender is authorized to record on its books and records the date and amount of each Loan and each payment of principal thereof and such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. Lender shall provide Borrowers on a monthly basis a statement and accounting of such recordations but any failure on the part of the Lender to keep any such recordation (or any errors therein) or to send a statement thereof to any Borrower shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay any of the Obligations. Except to the extent that any Borrower shall, within 30 days after such statement and accounting is sent, notify Lender in writing of any objection such Borrower may have thereto (stating with particularity the basis for such objection), such statement and accounting shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon such Borrower, absent manifest error. 1.11 Indemnity. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Lender and its Affiliates, and their respective employees, attorneys and agents (each, an "Indemnified Person"), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including attorneys' fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, including any and all product liabilities, Environmental Liabilities, Taxes and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the Loan Documents (collectively, "Indemnified Liabilities"), except to the extent that any such Indemnified Liability is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY CREDIT PARTY, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. 1.12 Borrowing Base; Reserves.

Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement promise to defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever, and each shall take such actions, including (x) the prompt delivery of all original Instruments, Chattel Paper and certificated Stock owned by such Borrower and each other Credit Party granting a Lien on Collateral to Lender, (y) notification of Lender's interest in Collateral at Lender's request, and (z) the institution of litigation against third parties as shall be prudent in order to protect and preserve each Credit Party's and Lender's respective and several interests in the Collateral. Each Borrower (and any other Credit Party granting a Lien in Collateral) shall mark its Books and Records pertaining to the Collateral to evidence the Loan Documents and the Liens granted under the Loan Documents. All Chattel Paper shall be marked with the following legend: "This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of General Electric Capital Corporation." 6.2 Lender's Rights. (a) Lender may, (i) at any time in Lender's own name or in the name of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, communicate with Account Debtors, parties to Contracts, and obligors in respect of Instruments, Chattel Paper or other Collateral to verify to Lender's satisfaction, the existence, amount and terms of any such Accounts, Contracts, Instruments or Chattel Paper or other Collateral, and (ii) at any time and without prior notice to any Borrower or any other Credit Party, notify Account Debtors, parties to Contracts, and obligors in respect of Chattel Paper, Instruments, or other Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to Lender and that payments shall be made directly to Lender. Upon the request of Lender, each Borrower and any other Credit Party shall so notify such Account Debtors, parties to Contracts, and obligors in respect of 10 Instruments, Chattel Paper or other Collateral. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby constitutes Lender or Lender's designee as its attorney with power to endorse its name upon any notes, acceptance drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral. (b) Borrower and each other Credit Party shall remain liable under each Contract, Instrument and License to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, and Lender shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever to any Person under any Contract, Instrument or License (between any Borrower or any other Credit Party and any Person other than Lender) by reason of or arising out of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, and Lender shall not be required or obligated in any manner (i) to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, (ii) to make any payment or inquiry, or (iii) to take any action of any kind to collect, compromise or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times under or pursuant to any Contract, Instrument or License. (c) Each Borrower and each other Credit Party shall, with respect to each owned, leased, or controlled property, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice (unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no notice shall be required and Lender shall have access at any and all times): (i) provide access to such property to Lender and any of its officers, employees and agents, as frequently as Lender determines to be appropriate; (ii) permit Lender and any of its officers, employees and agents to inspect, audit and make extracts and copies (or take originals if reasonably necessary) from all of such Borrower's and such Credit Party's Books and Records; and (iii) permit Lender to inspect, review, evaluate and make physical verifications and appraisals of the Inventory and other Collateral in any manner and through any medium that Lender considers advisable, and each Borrower and such Credit Party agree to render to Lender, at such Borrower's and such Credit Party's cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. (d) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, each Borrower at its own expense, shall cause the certified public accountant then engaged by such Borrower to prepare and deliver to Lender at any time and from time to time, promptly upon Lender's request, the following reports: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) test verifications of such Accounts as Lender may request. Each Borrower, at its own expense, shall cause its certified independent public accountants to deliver to Lender the results of any physical verifications of all or any portion of the Inventory made or observed by such accountants when and if such verification is conducted. Lender shall be permitted to observe and consult with each Borrower's accountants in the performance of these tasks. 6.3 Lender's Appointment as Attorney-in-fact. On the Closing Date, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement shall execute and deliver a Power of Attorney in the form attached as Exhibit I. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney and all powers granted under any Loan Document are powers coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date. The powers conferred on Lender under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Lender's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Lender agrees not to exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement authorizes Lender to file any financing or continuation statement without the signature of such Borrower or such Credit Party to the extent permitted by applicable law. 6.4 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement hereby grants to Lender an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Borrower or such Credit Party) to use, transfer, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned, licensed to, or hereafter acquired by such Borrower or such Credit Party, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer and automatic machinery software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, and represents, promises and agrees that any such license or sublicense is not and will not be in conflict with the contractual or commercial rights of any third Person; provided, that such license will terminate on the Termination Date. 7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT: RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 7.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (regardless of the reason therefor) shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder which shall be deemed to be continuing until waived in writing by Lender in accordance with Section 10.3: (a) any Borrower shall fail to make any payment in respect of any Obligations when due and payable or declared due and payable; or 11 (b) (i) Borrower or any other Credit Party shall fail or neglect to perform, keep or observe any of the covenants, promises, agreements, requirements, conditions or other terms or provisions contained in Section 1, Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.17, 3.18, 3.19, 3.20, 4.2 or Section 5 of this Agreement; or (ii) Borrower or any other Credit Party shall fail or neglect to perform, keep or observe any of the other covenants, promises, agreements, requirements, conditions or other terms or provisions contained in this Agreement (other than those set forth in the Sections referred to in clause (i) immediately above) or any of the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether such breach involves a covenant, promise, agreement, condition, requirement, term or provision with respect to a Credit Party that has not signed this Agreement, and such breach is not remediable or, if remediable, continues unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which such breach is known or reasonably should have become known to any officer of the Borrower or such Credit Party and (y) the date on which Lender shall have notified the Borrower or such other Credit Party of such breach; or (c) an event of default shall occur under any Contractual Obligation of any Borrower or any other Credit Party (other than this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), and such event of default (i) involves the failure to make any payment (whether or not such payment is blocked pursuant to the terms of an intercreditor agreement or otherwise), whether of principal, interest or otherwise, and whether due by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise, in respect of any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) of such Person in an aggregate amount exceeding the Minimum Actionable Amount, or (ii) causes (or permits any holder of such Indebtedness or a trustee to cause) such Indebtedness, or a portion thereof, in an aggregate amount exceeding the Minimum Actionable Amount to become due prior to its stated maturity or prior to its regularly scheduled date of payment; or (d) any information contained in any Borrowing Base Certificate is untrue or incorrect in any respect, or any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in any written statement pursuant hereto or thereto, or in any report, financial statement or certificate made or delivered to Lender by any Borrower or any other Credit Party shall be untrue or incorrect in any material respect as of the date when made or deemed made; or (e) there shall be commenced against any Borrower or any other Credit Party any Litigation seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets which results in the entry of an order for any such relief which remains unstayed or undismissed for thirty (30) consecutive days; or any Borrower or any other Credit Party shall have concealed, removed or permitted to be concealed or removed, any part of its property with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors or made or suffered a transfer of any of its property or the incurring of an obligation which may be fraudulent under any bankruptcy, fraudulent transfer or other similar law; or (f) a case or proceeding shall have been commenced involuntarily against any Borrower or any other Credit Party in a court having competent jurisdiction seeking a decree or order: (i) under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or other similar law, and seeking either (x) the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) for such Person or of any substantial part of its properties, or (y) the reorganization or winding up or liquidation of the affairs of any such Person, and such case or proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for sixty (60) consecutive days or such court shall enter a decree or order granting the relief sought in such case or proceeding; or (ii) invalidating or denying any Person's right, power, or competence to enter into or perform any of its obligations under any Loan Document or invalidating or denying the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken hereunder or thereunder; or (g) any Borrower or any other Credit Party shall (i) commence any case, proceeding or other action under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, conservatorship or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it or seeking appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) for it or any substantial part of its properties, (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) consent to or take any action in furtherance of, or, indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in paragraphs (e) or (f) of this Section 7.1 or clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (g), or (iv) shall admit in writing its inability to, or shall be generally unable to, pay its debts as such debts become due; or (h) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of the Minimum Actionable Amount in the aggregate shall be rendered against any Borrower or any other Credit Party, unless the same shall be (i) fully covered by insurance and the issuer(s) of the applicable policies shall have acknowledged full coverage in writing within fifteen (15) days of judgment, or (ii) vacated, stayed, bonded, paid or discharged within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such judgment; or (i) any other event shall have occurred which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (j) any provision of any Loan Document shall for any reason cease to be valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms, or any Lien granted, or intended by the Loan Documents to be granted, to Lender shall cease to be a valid and perfected Lien having the first priority (or a lesser priority if expressly permitted in the Loan Documents) in any of the Collateral (or any Credit Party shall so assert any of the foregoing); or (k) a Change of Control shall have occurred with respect to any Corporate Credit Party; or (l) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, in the opinion of the Lender, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred and are then continuing, could reasonably be expected to result in liability of any Credit Party in an aggregate amount exceeding the Minimum Actionable Amount. 12 7.2 Remedies. (a) If any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender may terminate or suspend its obligation to make further Revolving Credit Advances and to incur additional Letter of Credit Obligations. In addition, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may, without notice, take any one or more of the following actions: (i) declare all or any portion of the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, including contingent liabilities with respect to Letter of Credit Obligations, whereupon such Obligations shall become and be due and payable; (ii) require that all Letter of Credit Obligations be fully cash collateralized pursuant to Schedule C; or (iii) exercise any rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code; provided, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Sections 7.1 (e), (f) or (g), the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable (and any obligation of Lender to make further Loans, if not previously terminated, shall immediately be terminated) without declaration, notice or demand by Lender. (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement expressly agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale, to the extent permitted by law, to purchase for the benefit of Lender the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity of redemption, which right each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice. Lender shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Credit Party's premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Credit Party's premises without rent or other charge for such sales or other action with respect to the Collateral for such time as Lender deems necessary or advisable. (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at Lender's request, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement further agrees to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at its premises or elsewhere. Until Lender is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, Lender shall have the right to complete, assemble, use or operate the Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent that Lender deems appropriate, for the purpose of preserving such Collateral or its value or for any other purpose. Lender shall have no obligation to any Credit Party to maintain or preserve the rights of such Credit Party as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Lender. Lender may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Lender's remedies with respect thereto without prior notice or hearing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives all claims, damages, and demands against Lender, its Affiliates, agents, and the officers and employees of any of them arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of any Collateral except such as are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Lender to such Credit Party of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is entitled. (d) Lender's rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies which Lender may have under any Loan Document or at law or in equity. Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required. All provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited, to the extent necessary, so that they do not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. 7.3 Waivers by Credit Parties. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives: (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Loan Documents, the Notes or any other notes, commercial paper, Accounts, Contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which such Credit Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Lender's taking possession or control of, or to Lender's replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby. 13 7.4 Proceeds. The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon any Collateral shall be applied by Lender upon receipt to the Obligations in such order as Lender may deem advisable in its sole discretion (including the cash collateralization of any Letter of Credit Obligations), and after the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-504(1)(c) of the Code (but only after Lender has received what Lender considers reasonable proof of a subordinate party's security interest), the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Borrowers or their representatives or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 8. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS Each Loan Document shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing such Loan Document, Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise provided herein or therein. Neither any Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign, transfer, hypothecate, delegate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties under any Loan Document without the prior express written consent of Lender. Any such purported conveyance by such Borrower or such Credit Party without the prior express written consent of Lender shall be void. There shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of any of the Loan Documents. Lender reserves the right at any time to create and sell participations in the Loans and the Loan Documents and to sell, transfer or assign any or all of its rights in the Loans and under the Loan Documents. 9. GUARANTOR WAIVERS BY BORROWERS IF AND TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OBLIGATION OF ANY BORROWER TO LENDER SHALL BE CONSIDERED AN OBLIGATION OF GUARANTY OR SURETYSHIP, THEN THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9 SHALL APPLY WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH BORROWER SOLELY TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH BORROWER IS DEEMED TO ACT IN THE CAPACITY OF A GUARANTOR AND SHALL NOT EFFECT A WAIVER OF RIGHTS IN SUCH PERSON'S CAPACITY AS A BORROWER: (A) SUCH BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE LENDER FIRST TO PURSUE ANY OTHER PERSON, THE COLLATERAL, OR ANY OTHER SECURITY OR GUARANTY THAT MAY BE HELD FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO APPLY ANY SUCH SECURITY OR GUARANTY TO THE OBLIGATIONS BEFORE SEEKING FROM SUCH BORROWER PAYMENT IN FULL OF ITS LIABILITIES TO LENDER OR PROCEEDING AGAINST SUCH BORROWER FOR SAME. (B) SUCH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IF LENDER MAY, UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, PROCEED TO REALIZE ITS BENEFITS UNDER ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS GIVING LENDER A LIEN UPON ANY COLLATERAL, WHETHER OWNED BY ANY BORROWER OR BY ANY OTHER PERSON, EITHER BY JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE OR BY NON-JUDICIAL SALE OR ENFORCEMENT, LENDER MAY, AT ITS SOLE OPTION, DETERMINE WHICH OF ITS REMEDIES OR RIGHTS IT MAY PURSUE WITHOUT AFFECTING ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. IF, IN THE EXERCISE OF ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES, LENDER SHALL FORFEIT ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES, INCLUDING ITS RIGHT TO ENTER A DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT AGAINST ANY BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON, WHETHER BECAUSE OF ANY APPLICABLE LAWS PERTAINING TO "ELECTION OF REMEDIES" OR THE LIKE, SUCH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO SUCH ACTION BY LENDER AND WAIVES ANY CLAIM BASED UPON SUCH ACTION, EVEN IF SUCH ACTION BY LENDER SHALL RESULT IN A FULL OR PARTIAL LOSS OF ANY RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION WHICH SUCH BORROWER MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE HAD BUT FOR SUCH ACTION BY LENDER. ANY ELECTION OF REMEDIES WHICH RESULTS IN THE DENIAL OR IMPAIRMENT OF THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO SEEK A DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT AGAINST ANY BORROWER SHALL NOT IMPAIR ANY OTHER BORROWER'S OBLIGATION TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS. IN THE EVENT LENDER SHALL BID AT ANY FORECLOSURE OR TRUSTEE'S SALE OR AT ANY PRIVATE SALE PERMITTED BY LAW OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, LENDER MAY BID ALL OR LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND THE AMOUNT OF SUCH BID NEED NOT BE PAID BY LENDER BUT SHALL BE CREDITED AGAINST THE OBLIGATIONS. THE AMOUNT OF THE SUCCESSFUL BID AT ANY SUCH SALE, WHETHER LENDER OR ANY OTHER PARTY IS THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER, SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY DEEMED TO BE THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE COLLATERAL AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCH BID AMOUNT AND THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY DEEMED TO BE THE AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS GUARANTEED BY SUCH BORROWER, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE LAW OR COURT DECISION OR RULING MAY HAVE THE EFFECT OF REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF ANY DEFICIENCY CLAIM TO WHICH LENDER MIGHT OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED BUT FOR SUCH BIDDING AT ANY SUCH SALE. 14 (C) SUCH BORROWER AGREES THAT LENDER SHALL BE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO (I) MARSHAL ANY ASSETS IN FAVOR OF SUCH BORROWER, (II) PROCEED FIRST AGAINST ANY OTHER BORROWER OR PERSON OR ANY PROPERTY OF ANY OTHER BORROWER OR PERSON OR AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL, (III) ENFORCE FIRST ANY OTHER GUARANTY OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO, OR SECURITY FOR, THE OBLIGATIONS, OR (IV) PURSUE ANY OTHER REMEDY IN LENDER'S POWER THAT SUCH BORROWER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PURSUE ITSELF AND THAT MAY LIGHTEN SUCH BORROWER'S BURDEN, ANY RIGHT TO WHICH SUCH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES. (D) EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVERS ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER'S ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT LENDER IS RELYING UPON THE FOREGOING WAIVERS IN ITS FUTURE DEALINGS WITH SUCH BORROWER. EACH BORROWER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THE FOREGOING WAIVERS WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVED ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 10. MISCELLANEOUS 10.1 Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede all prior agreements, commitments, understandings or inducements (oral or written, expressed or implied). No Loan Document may be modified, altered or amended except by a written agreement signed by Lender, and each other Credit Party a party to such Loan Document. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall have all duties and obligations under this Agreement and such other Loan Document from the date of its execution and delivery, regardless of whether the initial Loan has been funded at that time. 10.2 Expenses. Each Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of all counsel, advisors, consultants (including environmental and management consultants) and auditors retained in connection therewith), incurred in connection with: (a) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Loan Documents and the preservation of any rights thereunder; (b) collection, including deficiency collections; (c) the forwarding to Borrower or any other Person on behalf of Borrower by Lender of the proceeds of any Loan (including a wire transfer fee of $25 per wire transfer); (d) any amendment, waiver or other modification with respect to any Loan Document or advice in connection with the administration of the Loans or the rights thereunder; (e) any litigation, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or between any combination of Lender, Borrower or any other Person), and an appeal or review thereof, in any way relating to the Collateral, any Loan Document, or any action taken or any other agreements to be executed or delivered in connection therewith, whether as a party, witness or otherwise; and (f) any effort (i) to monitor the Loans, (ii) to evaluate, observe or assess Borrower or any other Credit Party or the affairs of such Person, and (iii) to verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Collateral. 10.3 No Waiver. Neither Lender's failure, at any time, to require strict performance by any Borrower or any other Credit Party of any provision of any Loan Document, nor Lender's failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof or waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any suspension or waiver of a Default or other provision under the Loan Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Default or other provision under any Loan Document, and shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. None of the undertakings, indemnities, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Borrower or any other Credit Party to Lender contained in any Loan Document and no Default by any Borrower or any other Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer or other authorized employee of Lender and directed to such Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver (and then such waiver shall be effective only to the extent therein expressly set forth), and Lender shall not, by any act (other than execution of a formal written waiver), delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder. 10.4 Severability; Section Titles. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of any Loan Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of such Loan Document. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Loan Documents, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any financing arrangement under the Loan Documents shall in any way affect or impair the Obligations, duties, covenants, representations and warranties, indemnities, and liabilities of any Borrower or any other Credit Party or the rights of Lender 15 relating to any unpaid Obligation (due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated), or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is not required until after the Commitment Termination Date, all of which shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that all indemnity obligations of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents shall survive the Termination Date. The Section titles contained in any Loan Document are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto. 10.5 Authorized Signature. Until Lender shall be notified in writing by any Borrower or any other Credit Party to the contrary, the signature upon any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto and believed by Lender or any of Lender's officers, agents, or employees to be that of an officer of such Borrower or such other Credit Party shall bind such Borrower and such other Credit Party and be deemed to be the act of such Borrower or such other Credit Party affixed pursuant to and in accordance with resolutions duly adopted by such Borrower's or such other Credit Party's Board of Directors, and Lender shall be entitled to assume the authority of each signature and authority of the person whose signature it is or appears to be unless the person acting in reliance thereon shall have actual knowledge to the contrary. 10.6 Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any notice, demand, request or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any party by any other party, or whenever any party desires to give or serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon the earlier of (i) actual receipt or (ii) three (3) days after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by telecopy or other similar facsimile transmission upon receipt of confirmation that such transmission has been received (with such telecopy or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as otherwise provided in this Section 10.6), (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (d) when hand-delivered, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number indicated in Schedule B or to such other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. Failure or delay in delivering copies of such communication to any Person (other than any Borrower or Lender) designated in Schedule B to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such communication. 10.7 Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in any number of separate counterparts by one or more of the parties thereto, and all of said counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 10.8 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence for performance of the Obligations under the Loan Documents. 10.9 GOVERNING LAW. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF REGARDING CONFLICTS OF LAWS. 10.10 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

Neither any Credit Party nor any of its Affiliates will in the future issue any press release or other public disclosure using the name of General Electric Capital Corporation or its affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days' prior notice to Lender and without the prior written consent of Lender unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will consult with Lender before issuing such press release or other public disclosure, other than required SEC filings. 10.12 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or restored by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 11. CROSS-GUARANTY 11.1 Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Lender by each other Borrower, including that portion of the Revolving Credit Loan attributable to each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its obligations under this Section 11 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by: (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 11) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Lender with respect to any of the provisions hereof or thereof; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any such security); (d) the insolvency of any Credit Party; or (e) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being agreed by each Borrower that its obligations under this Section 11 shall not be discharged until the payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred. Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder. 11.2 Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Lender to marshall assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Credit Party, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower and Lender that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 11 and such waivers, Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement. 11.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 11 are for the benefit of Lender and its successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Lender, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents. 11.4 Subordination of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 11.7, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Lender and 17 shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower's liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 11, and that Lender and its successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 11.4. 11.5 Election of Remedies. (a) If Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 11. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation which such Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Lender. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower's obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but may be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 11, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale. In addition, each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though the election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Obligations, has destroyed any Borrower's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower waives any defenses or rights under or of the kind described in California Civil Code sections 2795, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819 through 2825 (inclusive), 2832, 2839, and 2845 through 2850 (inclusive) and similar laws in other jurisdictions. (b) Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that it may have if the Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) Lender may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Credit Party; and (ii) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any Credit Party (A) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) Lender may collect from such Borrower even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Borrower may have to collect from any other Credit Party. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. 11.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Borrower's liability under this Section 11 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable under Section 1) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of: (a) the net amount of all Loans advanced to any other Borrower under this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower; and (b) the amount which could be claimed by Lender from such Borrower under this Section 11 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower's right of contribution and indemnification from each other Borrower under Section 11.7. 11.7 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations. (a) To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 11 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a "Guarantor Payment") which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount which such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower's "Allocable Amount" (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. 18 (b) As of any date of determination, the "Allocable Amount" of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 11 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. (c) This Section 11.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 11.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of each Borrower to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 11.1. Nothing contained in this Section 11.7 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable. (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. (e) The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Credit Parties under this Section 11.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of Lender's obligation to extend any credit under this Agreement. 11.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Borrowers under this Section 11 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 19 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Loan and Security Agreement has been duly executed as of the date first written above.

The maximum amount payable in respect of each Letter of Credit requested by any Borrower will be guaranteed by Lender in favor of the issuing bank under terms of a separate agreement between Lender and the issuing bank. Each Borrower will enter into an application and agreement for such Letter of Credit with the issuing bank selected by Lender (which may be an Affiliate of Lender). The bank that issues any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement shall be determined by Lender in its sole discretion. 2. The notice to be provided to Lender requesting that Lender incur Letter of Credit Obligations shall be in the form of a Letter of Credit application in the form customarily employed by the issuing bank, together with a written request by the applicable Borrower and the bank that Lender approve such Borrower's application. Upon receipt of such notice Lender shall establish a reserve against such Borrower's Borrowing Availability in the amount of 100% of the face amount of the Letter of Credit Obligation to be incurred. Approval by Lender in the written form agreed upon between Lender and the issuing bank (a) will authorize the bank to issue the requested Letter of Credit, and (b) will conclusively establish the existence of the Letter of Credit Obligation as of the date of such approval. 3. In the event that Lender shall make any payment on or pursuant to any Letter of Credit Obligation, Borrowers shall be unconditionally obligated to reimburse Lender therefor, and such payment shall then be deemed to constitute a Revolving Credit Advance in favor of such Borrower. For purposes of computing interest under Section 1.5, a Revolving Credit Advance made in satisfaction of a Letter of Credit Obligation shall be deemed to have been made as of the date on which the issuer or endorser makes the related payment under the underlying Letter of Credit. 4. In the event that any Letter of Credit Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date, the applicable Borrower will either (a) cause the underlying Letter of Credit to be returned and canceled and each corresponding Letter of Credit Obligation to be terminated, or (b) pay to Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to 105% of the maximum amount then available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit in favor of such Borrower not so returned and canceled to be held by Lender as cash collateral in an account under the exclusive dominion and control of Lender (the "Cash Collateral Account"). 5. In the event that Lender shall incur any Letter of Credit Obligations in favor of any Borrower, such Borrower agrees to pay the Letter of Credit Fee to Lender as compensation to Lender for incurring such Letter of Credit Obligations. In addition, such Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all fees and charges paid by Lender on account of any such Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligations to the issuing bank. 6. Each Borrower's Obligations to lender with respect to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligation shall be evidenced by Lender's records and shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected, modified or impaired by (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the transactions contemplated by or related to such Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligation; (b) any amendment or waiver of or consent to depart from all or any of the terms of the transactions contemplated by or related to such Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligation; (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Borrower or any other Credit Party may have against Lender, the issuer or beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or such Letter of Credit or the transactions contemplated thereby or any unrelated transactions; or (d) the fact that any draft, affidavit, letter, certificate, invoice, bill of lading or other document presented under or delivered in connection with such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit proves to have been forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein proves to have been untrue or incorrect in any respect. 1 7. In addition to any other indemnity obligations which any Borrower may have to Lender under this Agreement and without limiting such other indemnification provisions, Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender from and to hold Lender harmless against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, attorneys' fees and expenses) which Lender may (other than as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) incur or be subject to as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of (a) the issuance of or payment of or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligation or (b) any suit, investigation or proceeding as to which Lender is or may become a party as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the incurring of any Letter of Credit Obligation or any payment of or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligation.
