(c) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, (i) on the Initial Transfer Date, the Seller agrees to, and as of the Initial Transfer Date does, hereby (A) transfer, assign, convey, and contribute (the “Seller Contribution”, and together with Cinedigm and Parent Contribution, the “Contributions”) to the Purchaser $1,010,000 in cash and $990,000 in prepaid fees as a capital contribution to Purchaser in consideration of the issuance of membership interests in the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to accept such cash and prepaid fees and (B) sell, transfer, assign and convey (the “Sale”) without recourse (except for a breach of the representations and warranties set forth herein) to the Purchaser the Transferred Assets set forth on Part C of Schedule 2.01 and the Purchaser agrees to purchase such Transferred Assets from the Seller in consideration of the Purchaser’s agreement to borrow the amount set forth on Part D of Schedule 2.01 under the Credit Agreement and lend such amount to CHG for the purchase of Digital Systems in accordance with the CDF2 Loan Documents and the CHG Lease Facility Documents (together with any consideration delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 2.01(b), the “Sale Consideration”) and (ii) from time to time on any Business Day subsequent to the Initial Transfer Date designated by Seller and Purchaser (each such Business Day, together with the Initial Transfer Date, a “Sale Date”), the Seller may sell, transfer, assign and convey without recourse (except for a breach of the representations and warranties set forth herein) to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser may purchase rights and interests to additional Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements, Exhibitor Agreements or Supply Agreements in consideration of the Purchaser’s agreement to borrow additional funds under the Credit Agreement and lend such funds to CHG for the purchase of Digital Systems in accordance with the CDF2 Loan Documents and the CHG Lease Facility Documents.

3

The Sale Consideration may not be altered or otherwise changed after delivery thereof from the Purchaser to the Seller.

4
