Promptly upon receipt by either party of any notification or indication (whether written or oral) from the IRS or any state or other taxing authority that it intends to investigate or audit any pre-Closing Tax Return, the party receiving such information shall notify the other party and convey such information to the other party in writing. Each party shall cooperate with the other in connection with any Tax investigation, Tax audit, or other Tax proceeding. A party shall be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket

expenses incurred in taking any action requested by the other party or parties under this Section 6.1(b); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not alter any indemnification rights to which Purchaser or Sellers are entitled under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Article VII.

Sellers will provide to Purchasers, within 60 days following the Closing, the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 and interim consolidated financial statements as required by the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The parties acknowledge that such audited financial statements are being prepared by an independent auditing firm hired by Purchaser and that the fees and expenses associated with the preparation of such audited financial statements shall be paid by Purchaser.

Section 6.3 Further Assurances. The parties agree promptly (a) to furnish upon request to each other such further information, (b) to execute and deliver to each other such other documents, and (c) to do such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement, effectively consummate the Contemplated Transactions and comply with applicable disclosure requirements regarding the Contemplated Transactions.

If the Company or either Seller receives any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that any Consent was required in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, the Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall not constitute a waiver of any rights with respect to any failure to obtain such Required Consent on or prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.5 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as Purchaser or the Company is actively contesting or defending against any litigation or claim in connection with any fact, situation, circumstance, status, practice, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction existing or occurring on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company, Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate in the contest or defense and provide such testimony as may be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, at the cost and expense of Purchaser (unless and to the extent Purchaser is entitled to indemnification therefor hereunder).

Section 6.6 Transition . Neither the Company nor the Sellers will take any action which will, or could reasonably be expected to: (i) cause any of the events listed in Section 4.17 (Absence of Certain Changes and Events); (ii) result in the modification, termination or acceleration of obligations under any Contract of the Company; (iii) diminish the value of any assets or rights of the Company; or (iv) have the effect of discouraging customers, suppliers, lessors, licensees, licensors and other business associates from maintaining the same business relationships with the Purchaser after the date of this Agreement as were maintained with the Company prior to the date of this Agreement.

Section 6.7 Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation.

(a) Noncompetition. For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, neither Seller shall, anywhere in the United States or Canada, directly or indirectly invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, advise, render services to or guarantee the obligations of any Person engaged in or planning to become engaged in the business of sound libraries of virtual instruments and voice, music notation software or music education software (“Competing Business”), provided, however, that the Sellers may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) an aggregate of three percent (3%) of any class of the securities of any Person (but may not otherwise participate in the activities of such Person) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

(b) Nonsolicitation and Nonhire. For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, neither Seller shall, directly or indirectly:

(i) solicit the business of any Person who is a customer of Purchaser;

(ii) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, lessor, employee, consultant or other business associate of Purchaser to cease doing business with Purchaser, to deal with any competitor of Purchaser or in any way interfere with its relationship with Purchaser;

(iii) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any Customer, Supplier, licensee, licensor, lessors, employee, consultant or other business associate of the Company (on the Closing Date or at any time since January 1, 2009) to cease doing business with Purchaser, to deal with any competitor of Purchaser or in any way interfere with its relationship with Purchaser; or

(iv) hire, retain or attempt to hire or retain any employee or independent contractor of Purchaser (current, or former if such Person was an employee or independent contractor of the Purchaser at any time since June 30, 2010) or in any way interfere with the relationship between Purchaser and any of its employees or independent contractors.

(c) Modification of Covenant. If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in Sections 6.7(a) through (c) is invalid or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or

provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. This Section 6.7(c) will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. This Section 6.7(c) is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Purchaser’s legitimate business interests, the value of the Contemplated Transactions to Purchaser, and to prevent any unfair advantage conferred on Sellers.

(d) Enforcement of Covenant. The parties agree that the remedy of damages at law for the Breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7(d) is an inadequate remedy. In recognition of the irreparable harm that a violation by either Seller of any of the covenants, agreements or obligations arising under this Section 6.7(d) would cause Purchaser, each Seller agrees that in addition to any other remedies or relief afforded by law, an injunction against an actual or Threatened violation or violations may be issued against the Sellers. In the event of an action to enforce the covenants in this Section 6.7(d), the prevailing party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the other party for actual attorney’s fees incurred by such party with respect to such action (based on reasonable hourly rates and not based on contingent fees).

Section 6.8 Access . Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and Sellers will afford Purchaser’s employees, auditors, legal counsel and other authorized representatives (a) access to the Company during normal business hours to fully inspect, investigate and audit Company assets, liabilities, contracts, operations and business; and (b) reasonable opportunity to contact and obtain information from the Company’s officers, employees, landlords, consultants, customers and suppliers, and such others having dealings with the Company as Purchaser may reasonably request. Purchaser will conduct its due diligence investigation in a reasonable manner so that any interference with the Company’s day-to-day activities is minimized or avoided.

Section 6.9 Exclusivity . Until the earlier of (a) December 31, 2011, or (b) the date that Purchaser informs the Company in writing that it does not intend to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, none of the Company, nor the Sellers, nor any of the Company’s officers or directors will, and the Company will direct its employees, agents and Affiliates not to, take any action to encourage, solicit the submission of, or entertain inquiries, proposals or offers from any person or entity (other than Purchaser), or otherwise provide confidential information to or engage in discussions with any person or entity (other than Purchaser), relating to a potential investment in or proposed sale of the Company (whether by merger, combination, sale or exclusive license of assets, sale of stock or otherwise) or any similar alternative transaction. The Company further agrees that for the period defined above it will, and it will direct its employees, agents, advisors and Affiliates to, affirmatively and immediately (a) terminate any ongoing discussions with third parties and (b) disclose to Purchaser the existence and terms of, any inquiries, proposals or offers received from any person or entity during the period defined above with respect to any potential investment in or proposed sale of the Company (whether by merger, combination, sale or exclusive license of assets, sale of stock or otherwise) or any similar alternative transaction.

Section 6.10 Rights in the Name Garritan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Sellers will retain the right to use the name Garritan and the domain names Garritan.org, Garritan.net, and Garritan.ca for personal and non-profit purposes unrelated to the Company’s or Purchaser’s business use of any such name or derivatives thereof, provided that such use does not materially detract from the value of the name Garritan as it is currently used with respect to the Company’s Intellectual Property. In the event that Purchaser, in its sole and reasonable discretion, determines that it will discontinue use of the name Garritan and derivatives thereof for business purposes, Purchaser agrees to assign the name Garritan back to Sellers for a reasonable fee. Sellers agree that they will not use the name Garritan for any for-profit or other commercial purposes without the express prior written consent of Purchaser. Promptly following the Closing, Sellers will cease using the name Garritan Music Technologies, Ltd. and cause the dissolution of such entity.

Section 6.11 Seller Benefits. Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall (a) cause Gary Garritan to be enrolled in the Purchaser’s employee benefit plans to the extent he is eligible under the terms of such plans pursuant to the Employment and Non-Competition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B and (b) cause Marianne Garritan to be covered as of the Closing Date under Gary Garritan’s health insurance under such Purchaser employee benefit plans to the extent she is eligible under the terms of such plans.

(a) Representations and Warranties. Any Breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or the Sellers in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule, or any other certificate or document delivered by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, or any claim by a third party that, if proven, would constitute such a Breach or misrepresentation (without giving effect to any supplement to the Company Disclosure Schedules delivered at Closing);.

(a) If the facts that give rise to any indemnification hereunder will involve any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will give the party obligated to provide indemnity hereunder (“Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim (the “Third-Party Notice”) promptly after the Indemnified Party will have received written notice thereof from the third party making such claim. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party’s failure or delay in providing Third-Party Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result thereof.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have twenty (20) days from receipt of the Third-Party Notice to provide the Indemnified Party with notice that it wishes to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim and acknowledges liability for such Damages, in which event Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in the defense at its own expense. If the Third-Party Claim is in the form of a pleading requiring an answer, the other party will give such notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of the answer or other response to the pleading. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided herein, Indemnified Party will have the right to defend against such Third-Party Claim.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third-Party Claim, Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense thereof. Such cooperation will include the retention and the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, making relevant employees or agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, Indemnified Party will not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim without Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume control of the defense of a Third Party Claim, and will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel retained by the Indemnified Party (subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII as applicable when a Purchaser

Indemnified Person is the Indemnified Party): (i) with respect to any portion of the claim that involves injunctive or other equitable relief or relates to any criminal or regulatory violation; (ii) if the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that a conflict of interest exists or could reasonably arise which, under applicable principles of legal ethics, could prohibit a single legal counsel from representing both the parties in such proceeding, other than a conflict which may exist due to the underlying nature of the duty to indemnify; or (iii) if a court of competent jurisdiction rules that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend such claim. In such event, the Indemnified Party will provide notice to the Indemnifying Party at least five (5) Business Days in advance of retaining legal counsel to defend the Third Party Claim. Failure to provide such notice shall not affect the Indemnified Party’s rights under this subsection.

Section 7.5 Additional Agreements Regarding Indemnity.

(a) Resolution of Conflicts. In the event an Indemnified Party should have a claim under this Article VII that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party notice of such claim with reasonable promptness, together with its request forthwith for payment, and the parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve the claim. If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation with respect to such claim within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of such disputed claim, either party may pursue other legal remedies for resolution of the dispute.

(b) Limitations on Indemnification.

(i) Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to be paid any Damages pursuant to this Article VII unless and until the Purchaser Indemnified Persons’ aggregate claim for Damages exceeds $25,000 (the “Basket”); provided, however that the Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to be paid all Damages expressly not taking into account the Basket once the aggregate claim for Damages exceeds $25,000; and, provided further, that the Basket shall not apply to claims based on or Damages resulting from Breach of the Fundamental Representations, the SOL Representations, fraud, or intentional misrepresentation.

(ii) Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 7.2(a) for aggregate Damages exceeding Three Hundred Seventy Five Thousand dollars ($375,000.00) (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Cap with respect to any Breach of an SOL Representation shall be Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand dollars ($750,000.00); and, provided further, that the Cap shall not apply to and there shall be no limitation on claims based on or Damages resulting from Breach of the Fundamental Representations, fraud, or intentional misrepresentation.

(c) Waivers. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.

(d) Reliance. Sellers acknowledge and agree that Purchaser is entitled to rely on the express representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and a Purchaser Indemnified Party’s right to Damages pursuant to this Article VII shall not be affected or waived by virtue of any investigation conducted by Purchaser or its Representatives or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by Purchaser or its Representatives, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any of the representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements made by the Company or Sellers in this Agreement.

(e) Company. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Closing, the Company shall be a Purchaser Indemnified Person and shall have no Liability to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to any Damages under this Agreement, and Sellers shall have sole responsibility for any and all such Damages. Sellers waive any subrogation or other claims against the Company with respect to Damages under this Agreement.

(f) Set Off. Purchaser shall first set off the amount of any indemnifiable Damages owed by Sellers to any Purchaser Indemnified Persons against the Holdback to the extent all or any portion of the Holdback has not been paid to Sellers.

(g) Exclusive Remedy. In the absence of fraud, the parties agree that indemnification under this Article VII is the exclusive remedy for money damages (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising in connection with Third Party Claims with respect to this Agreement; and (b) the Caps set forth in Section 7.5(b)(ii) will apply to Damages relating to both Third Party Claims and direct claims against Sellers by Purchaser Indemnified Parties; provided, expressly, that such limitations in (a) and (b) above will not limit claims for any equitable remedies.

(h) Insurance. For purposes of this Article VII, Damages will be calculated after application of (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Parties with respect to which the claim for indemnification is sought, net of any increase in premiums and out-of-pocket costs of recovery, or (ii) in the event that the Indemnified Party fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek such insurance recovery, any insurance proceeds which could reasonably have been received by the parties had the Indemnified Party used such commercially reasonable efforts. In the event an insurance recovery is realized with respect to any Damages, then the Indemnified Party will pay the amount of the recovery to the Indemnifying Party to the extent that any such Damages have already been paid to the Indemnified Parties by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Parties with respect to any Damages paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that such subrogation will not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party in any material manner. For the purposes of this Section 7.5(h) and for the period of its effect, the parties agree that each shall continue to carry such insurance coverage as is commercially reasonable.

Section 8.5 Governing Law; Forum. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to principles of conflicts or choice of laws that would require the application of any other law. Any judicial proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement must be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in Hennepin County in the State of Minnesota and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party (a) accepts, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and any related appellate court, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement and (b) irrevocably waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court or that such court is an inconvenient forum.

Section 8.6 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party shall be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.7.

Section 8.8 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter (including the Letter of Intent among Purchaser, Sellers and the Company) and constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written instrument signed by Purchaser, Sellers and the Company.

Section 8.9 Assignments, Successors, and No Third Party Rights. No party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and assigns.

Section 8.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

Section 8.11 Interpretation and Rules of Construction. In this Agreement, except to the extent otherwise provided or that the context otherwise requires: (a) when a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Paragraph, Schedule, such reference is to an Article or Section or Paragraph of, or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated; the Company Disclosure Schedules form part of and shall have effect as if set out in this Agreement and any reference to this “Agreement” includes the Company Disclosure Schedules; (b) the table of contents and headings for this Agreement, are for reference purposes only and do not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (c) whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (d) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (e) all terms defined in this Agreement have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto, unless otherwise defined therein; (f) the terms defined in the singular shall have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa; (g) references to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns; (h) the use of “or” is not intended to be exclusive unless expressly indicated otherwise; (i) the term “Dollars” or “$” shall refer to the currency of the United States of America; and (j) all references to time shall refer to Minneapolis, Minnesota time.
