C. It is intended that, for federal income tax purposes, the Exchange shall qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and a reorganization described in Section 368 of the Code.

Section 1.1 The Exchange. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, PMW shall issue and deliver to each of the Sellers owning EntertainmentXpress Shares such number of shares of Common Stock as is set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule I hereto, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.2, and each such Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to PMW, the number of issued and outstanding EntertainmentXpress Shares set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Schedule I hereto along with a duly executed share assignment endorsed in favor of PMW on the Closing Date. In the event that Seller’s EntertainmentXpress Shares are subject to a repurchase right in favor of EntertainmentXpress, then, by virtue of this Agreement, such repurchase right shall be assigned to PMW and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the Common Stock under its original terms and conditions; provided, that to the extent that the repurchase right was triggered upon termination of service from EntertainmentXpress, after the Exchange such trigger shall be predicated upon termination of service from PMW or any of its affiliated entities.
1
Section 1.2 Exchange Ratio.
(a) Based on the outstanding capital stock of PMW as of the date hereof and anticipated stock option exercises of outstanding PMW options to take place prior to Closing, the former stockholders of EntertainmentXpress would own no more than 18,500,000 shares of Common Stock of PMW, and all of the current stockholders of PMW would own no more than an aggregate of 6,600,000 shares of Common Stock of PMW.

Until such time as a Delayed Stockholder executes this Agreement and submits his EntertainmentXpress Shares in exchange for shares of Common Stock (thereby becoming a Seller), and such exchange is accepted by PMW, such Delayed Stockholder shall remain a stockholder of EntertainmentXpress and shall not be considered a stockholder of PMW and shall not be entitled to any of the rights thereof, including without limitation the right to vote or receive any distributions with respect thereto.

As of their respective dates or, if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment, the PMW SEC Documents, including any financial statements or schedules included therein (i) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) were complete and accurate in all material respects, and (iii) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

Section 3.10 No Undisclosed Assets or Liabilities. Except as disclosed in the PMW Financial Statements, PMW does not have any liabilities, indebtedness or obligations, whether known or unknown, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due (collectively, “Liabilities”), and, there is no existing condition, situation or set of circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in such a Liability, including without limitation any liabilities for foreign, federal, state, local or other taxes (including deficiencies, interest and penalties). As of the Closing Date, PMW shall have no Liabilities other than (i) up to $100,000 in unsecured accounts payable or accrued expenses, and (ii) up to $1,200,000 in long term debt.
Section 3.11 Material Contracts. Each PMW Material Contract (i) is legal, valid, binding and enforceable and in full force and effect with respect to PMW, and to PMW’s knowledge is legal, valid, binding, enforceable and in full force and effect with respect to each other party thereto, in either case subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by general principles of equity; and (ii) will continue to be legal, valid, binding and enforceable and in full force and effect immediately following the Closing in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect prior to the Closing, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by general principles of equity. Neither PMW nor, to PMW’s knowledge, any other party, is in breach or default, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time would constitute a breach or default by PMW or, to PMW’s knowledge, by any such other party, or permit termination, modification or acceleration, under the PMW Material Agreement.
Section 3.12 Intellectual Property Rights.
(a) PMW owns, or is licensed or otherwise possesses legally enforceable rights to use, all patents, trademarks, common law trademarks, trade names, trade secrets (including customer lists), service marks and copyrights, and any applications for and registrations of such patents, trademarks, service marks, and copyrights and all processes, formulas, methods, schematics, technology, know-how, computer software programs, data or applications and tangible or intangible proprietary information or material that are used in its business, free and clear of all liens, claims or encumbrances (all of which are referred to as the “PMW Intellectual Property Rights”). The foregoing representation as it relates to all licenses, sublicenses and other agreements to which PMW is a party and pursuant to which PMW is authorized to use any third party technology, trade secret, know-how, process, patent, trademark or copyright, including software (“Licensed Intellectual Property”) is limited to the interests of PMW pursuant to licenses from third parties, each of which is in full force and effect, is valid, binding and enforceable and grants PMW such rights to such intellectual property as are used in the business as currently conducted.
7
(b) PMW (i) has not received notice of a claim of infringement of any patent, trademark, service xxxx, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of any third party and (ii) does not have any knowledge of any claim challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any license or agreement relating to any PMW Intellectual Property Rights or Licensed Intellectual Property. PMW has at all times used reasonable efforts to protect its proprietary information and to prevent such information from being released into the public domain.
Section 3.13 Litigation. There is no action pending or, to the knowledge of PMW, threatened against PMW that, individually or in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor is there any outstanding judgment, decree or injunction, in each case against PMW, that, individually or in the aggregate, has or would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.14 Taxes. PMW has filed (or has had timely filed on its behalf) with the appropriate tax authorities all tax returns required to be filed by it or on behalf of it, and each such tax return was complete and accurate in all material respects, and PMW has timely paid (or has had paid on its behalf) all material Taxes due and owing by it, regardless of whether required to be shown or reported on a tax return, including Taxes required to be withheld by it. No deficiency for a material Tax has been asserted in writing or otherwise, to PMW’s Knowledge, against PMW or with respect to any of its assets, except for asserted deficiencies that either (i) have been resolved and paid in full or (ii) are being contested in good faith. There are no material Liens for Taxes upon PMW’s assets.
Section 3.15 Registration. No order revoking the registration of PMW or the Common Stock under the Exchange Act has been issued by any court, securities commission or regulatory authority in the United States and no proceedings for such purpose are pending or, to the Knowledge of PMW, after reasonable inquiry, threatened.
Section 3.16 Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and PMW has taken no action designed to, or which to the knowledge of PMW is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, nor has PMW received any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. The Common Stock is presently traded on the OTC Bulleting Board under the symbol “PUBM”. PMW has not, in the past twelve months, received notice from the OTC Bulleting Board to the effect that PMW is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of the OTC Bulletin Board. PMW is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
Section 3.17 Books and Records. The books and records, financial and others, of PMW are in all material respects complete and correct and have been maintained in accordance with good business accounting practices.
Section 3.18 Insurance. PMW is secured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are reasonably precedent and customary in the business in which PMW operates. PMW does not have any knowledge of facts
8
or circumstances which would cause PMW to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.
Section 3.19 Compliance. PMW is in compliance with all foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations of any Governmental Authority, except to the extent that failure to comply would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. PMW has not received any notice asserting a failure, or possible failure, to comply with any such law or regulation, the subject of which notice has not been resolved as required thereby or otherwise to the satisfaction of the party sending the notice, except for such failure as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. PMW does not, and is not require to, hold any permits, licenses or franchises from Governmental Authorities.
Section 3.20 Absence of Certain Changes. Since November 30, 2009, except as described in the PMW SEC Documents or as expressly permitted or required by this Agreement or with the consent of EntertainmentXpress, PMW has not:

16

Section 8.2 Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims.
(a) Upon obtaining knowledge of any Claim by a third party which has given rise to, or is expected to give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice (“Notice of Claim”) of such claim or demand to the Indemnifying Party, specifying in reasonable detail such information as the Indemnified Party may have with respect to such indemnification claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on it and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same). No failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless, except to the extent that such failure or delay shall have actually adversely affected the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against, settle or satisfy any Claims for which the Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification hereunder.
24
(b) If the claim or demand set forth in the Notice of Claim given by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof is a claim or demand asserted by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days after the date on which Notice of Claim is given to notify Indemnified Party in writing of their election to defend such third party claim or demand on behalf of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim or demand, Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its agents and representatives all records and other materials that are reasonably required in the defense of such third party claim or demand and shall otherwise cooperate with, and assist the Indemnifying Party in the defense of, such third party claim or demand, and so long as the Indemnifying Party is defending such third party claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, settle or compromise such third party claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such third party claim or demand, at such Indemnified Party’s own expense. In the event, however, that such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party could reasonably be expected to present counsel with a conflict of interest, then the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend such third party claim or demand or do not defend such third party claim or demand in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend such third party claim or demand; provided, however, that (i) such Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to participate in the defense of, or defend, any such third party claim or demand; (ii) such Indemnified Party’s defense of or its participation in the defense of any such third party claim or demand shall not in any way diminish or lessen the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under the agreements of indemnification set forth in this Article VII; and (iii) such Indemnified Party may not settle any claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c) The Indemnifying Party and the other Indemnified Parties, if any, shall cooperate fully in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pre-trial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of any claim in respect of which indemnity is sought pursuant to this Article VIII, including, but not limited to, by providing the other party with reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and other information.
Section 8.3 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have an indemnification claim against the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement that does not involve a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party in writing and in reasonable detail. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, such claim
25
specified by the Indemnifying Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand, or in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim is finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim in a timely manner, EntertainmentXpress and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 10.10.
Section 8.4 Limitations on Indemnification. No claim for indemnification under this Article VIII shall be asserted by, and no liability for such indemnify shall be enforced against, the Indemnifying Party to the extent the Indemnified Party has theretofore received indemnification or otherwise been compensated for such Claim. In the event that an Indemnified Party shall later collect any such amounts recovered under insurance policies with respect to any Claim for which it has previously received payments under this Article VIII from the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the Indemnifying Party such amount recovered.
